Keith 21 #11 Posted May 16, 2014 Its 2 wheel drive, but I'd like to take my chances with getting it to run as lots of worse tractors are repaired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sycoticca 37 #12 Posted May 16, 2014 Well good to say I pulled the head off last night the cylinders looked great... the only thing I can see is that it has 3 stuck exhaust valves... put the head in the parts washer for a while this morning and got them freed up ...pulled them out wire wheeled and the glass beaded them ready to go back together...Good thing the PO didn't try to crank it he would have bent everyone... Should be running by the end of the weekend... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #14 Posted May 16, 2014 Nice! Check out the Orange Tractor Talks forum for info. It's still early in the month so you should be able to access the Manuals section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,969 #15 Posted May 17, 2014 Darn good freebie. I would love to have a nice compact diesel tractor like that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sycoticca 37 #16 Posted May 19, 2014 After the cleaning of the valves and reassemble Friday evening when I got home. I put it all back together and what do ya know she fired right up... Everything works as it should ... Now what the hell am I going to do with it. I can do everything I need to do around my property with my Horses but it sure is nice to have. Anyone need some fields mowed... LOL. I'll post a running video. 581hrs on the clock. a repaint and clean up is in order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shallowwatersailor 3,213 #17 Posted May 19, 2014 Nice that you have it back running. I notice that it doesn't have a ROPS. Kubota had a program to supply them for older models. You may care to check in to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
