Hi all, as mentioned in another topic I visited the local harvest-show in Onstwedde again. I brought my mini International 1468 with me and got set up at around 9 in the morning. Gates opened at 10.
It was a bit overcast and wet at the beginning but it turned out to be a nice and sunny day for the most part.
@Pullstart requested some show pictures so here ya' go
All set up, waiting for the folks to come in and say Hi.
This 1/3rd scale stationary thresher is built by my dads grandpa (who has passed away) and is now owned by my dad's uncle.
He tours the country with it and displays it on several shows. It actually works and my dad's grandpa used it to harvest beans.
The steam tractor that powers it is not my dad's uncle's but happened to be there aswell so they thought let's see if the tractor can power the thresher. Worked flawlessly.
Besides the small tresher there's always a real one setup aswell. They thresh grain and bale the straw with the attached baler.
Powered by a flat belt off a vintage Hanomag tractor.
Threshing machine, Dutch built out of the province of Groningen.
Straw baler. The bales are manually tied and knotten.
This apparatus was placed before the thresher. Not 100 percent sure what it does but it seemed it gets rid of excess chaff and other unwanted debris.
Who can guess what these are and/or what they're used for?
Vintage DAF truck. Dutch truck brand. This one was very nicely restored.
And another one, this one obviously for military use. Note the second axle which is free rolling. This helped it conquer dunes and tranches in rough conditions. My granddad used to operate one of these.
Also no big center differential on the back axles but driveshafts coming directly from the main gearbox. The shock is the rear of the vehicle. I guess they went this route for maximum ground clearance and articulation.

my 1067 stopped moving; limited slip had worn out long ago; now input pully is turning , but tractor doesnt move --- very slight motion forward or backward if on level ground with no resistance. Enough to tell me shift lever is actually changing gears.
I suspect input shaft woodruff keys but might be something worse ... i am interested in perhaps buying a new, used,or rebuilt transaxle if someone has one they would part with. And any advice on opening up the transaxle and looking inside . Or where i can find parts to rebuild it myself...
ps i was on forum about 5 years ago, forgot my username so i joined again

Starting a slow restore to a C-160, Today she got a new fuel tank, and different tires. Started it up and went for a ride under her own power, first time since '08.
Next comes finding the fuel leak, looks like a bad hose. and maybe some cleaning of the oily parts.

I finally got a chance to rebuild a transmission with a hi/low mechanism. This is a 6 speed #5060 transmission with the 10 pinion limited slip differential. Notice the brake shaft comes out the hole closest to the axle housing. The 8 speeds brake shaft comes out of the cluster shaft hole. I did a series of videos for this thread along with some pictures. The videos are split up between different phases of rebuilding...ie...the differential, the hi/low shift mechanism, the rest of the gears 1 & 2 (my batteries died in the camera). Most of the information will be in the videos...be advised that I did some struggling while doing these videos and I left them as is because it is not always easy. Hope this helps you guys.
correction...
According to the manual the bolts that hold the differential together are in backwards in the video. The nuts should be on the input shaft side (right side) of the transmission. Sorry, I missed that.
Just got the trans split. I use a 1" old wood chisel to start and then work the case apart with a pry bar.
A couple shots after getting the case half off...trans is in neutral.
The trans case works as a work bench for the differential...very cool
Here is the reason the trans needed to be opened. An axle gear lost it's teeth and the pieces were lodged in the pinions.
Finished and back together.
The rest are the videos...1st on is the differential...
Next 2 are dealing with the hi/low mechanism...1st one taking apart and the 2nd on putting together...be nice...it was my first time.
Now, 2 videos putting the rest of the trans together...batteries died just before I finished the first video.
Thanks for looking

Good Morning everybody!
I am in the process of sharpening the blades for my mowing deck (Model 78360 - Serial 7904987) and I noticed that the deck has a crack in it right where the bracket to the mounting hardware (to the tractor) is. SO I know I have to get that repaired.
But while I was at this, I thought I could do a good quick once over on the deck to make sure I am ready for the season.
What I would like to do is the following:
Change the bearings for the spindles (or pack them with more grease)
Get new rear tires (since they squeak)
And that's about it
If anyone here thinks I should do anything else, I would love to hear it!
Where does everyone get the hardware (bearings, wheels for these rebuilds?)
