Keaton 435 #1 Posted August 12 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 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,496 #2 Posted August 12 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.

Moparfanforever 844 #4 Posted August 12 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. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just about finished up now. 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 2 hours ago, ebinmaine said: have stopped considering any tractor as "done".

Never done is continuous improvement. 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 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
