Porangi 21 #1 Posted January 16, 2017 Hi, Arrived home last night with our 1981 B-165 Tractor that will be used for logging and moving around a small woodland. It needs a little TLC but looking forward to letting it doing the back breaking work! Regards Chris 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of penetrating oil and patients, perhaps back the axle bolt out a few turns and drive it around in a figure eight. Whatever you do, don't use a big hammer! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok Chris, I presume the engine is the original Twin 16hp, and so have provided here, a link to the User and Parts Manual for the engine for you to download. Look up your part/number to check which one is correct, then search for those numbers online to get the best options- -LINK- Ditto with the Hub issue/remedy above.

Porangi 21 #19 Posted January 19, 2017 Thanks all. Best welcome ever received on a forum. Gave the girl a gunk/power wash clean today and took the rear wheel arch section off. Away this weekend but going to take a iPad loaded with manuals with me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
