Recommended Posts

im Shure there is a old forum just like this but today I got the hubs off my RJ tranny and the stuck crank pulley off my 702s k181 and a rebuild kit ordered for my 701, I look the head off because it felt like it was blowing oil on me there was about 7 drops worth on the piston, my 702 I got and just look apart to rebuild because it would not hold oil and I was bored one day, my RJ looks like a expensive day, so I got to many of them, what's your current project? 

below is my RJ tranny and my 701 head with the oil, the tranny is bad its a may I believe early then 5003  tranny and its pretty bad

You'll find that my Trina has more energy and drive than most people on the planet. You'd think I'm kidding until you tried to keep up with her for a couple hours. 

 

She ALWAYS has many things going. 

Working on the garden. 

Working on the barn. 

Multitudes of things around the house and acreage. 

 

Her current tractor project is to get our friend's Workhorse GT1800 back up and running. It needs a hydraulic line. 

 

My current two are the 1986 Ford truck and the 1974 C160-8 Tecumseh OHV160 engine tractor. 

 

There are threads on all...

As far as tractor projects, I have to many!! Even when I think I am finished with one, I always think there is something different or better I could have done to it. 

 

Still a few things to do to my latest project, and then maybe I will be done, but I doubt it.

I have stopped considering any tractor as "done".

 

I've learned that BBT and I tend to modify and adjust or create or change as needed.  

 

The closest to "done" is when we start to run and drive one. Then go from there. 

 

Never done is continuous improvement.

“Parts Pile” it’s been laying around for about 4 years and finally got to it last fall. Just about finished up now.

there never finished ive learned but when I get mine out and ride it a lap around the back yard(about 6 acres) then down the 8th mile driveway to get mail, and nothing breaks or leaks its good enough. and to pull my dump cart around with.

 that parts pile looks amazing, I've got one of those in the shead just got the stuck crank pulley off yesterday, I plan to patina restore mine after I get it running. and when taking the hood off mine it also had a hinge, people tended to like to put those on. annoying

running driving is great but there is always accessory's to do like exhaust or stacks, lights, attachments, tires, small ding or dent repair if it looks good enough for you I call it good till the weekend when I'm bored
