Lane Ranger 10,968 #8078 Posted December 8, 2020 Going to tear into an RJ transmission today to see what good I might be able to save from this one! Not sure why I waited until cold weather to tear into this one (I have two others to work on also awaiting attention) but I was motivated this am! Started out with making oatmeal cookies with raisins and walnuts! Anyway, a good sign that all the drive side case bolts came out east so maybe not a lot of rust of water damage! Maybe we will see. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greentored 3,214 #8082 Posted December 9, 2020 The 701 got a new front axle bolt, some bushings to fix the steering wear, a couple ‘tie rod savers’. Determination made it’s not original paint but I love the look of it, so it got a pair of Terry’s decals. Oh, and starting on a ‘restored’ WH lantern to go with the patina one. 3 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,619 #8086 Posted December 10, 2020 Finished up the 857. Ordered some rubber wheel hub/dust caps from @GlenPettit. Only other thing I want to get for it would be the piece that goes into the slot hitch so I can tow a cart behind it. It really runs great, starting to like it more and more. 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pardon my ignorance- been gone from NY too long. 4 inches of snow here in NC twice a year is a statewide shutdown and mass hysteria It causes Mass hysteria here in Maine too. We just don't bother to shut anything down for snow. Where the plow mounts to the axle hitch there is a three-quarter rod right at the end of the frame. From what I understand most long frames have a second set of holes and you can move that rod forward on the frame to be used on a short frame tractor.

Greentored 3,214 #8090 Posted December 10, 2020 @ebinmaine perfect, mine has the two sets of holes. Thanks buddy! I think it'd look good on the 701 once that's ready to go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it'd look good on the 701 once that's ready to go. been a long time since I fooled with a standard (long wheelbase / frame) plow set up and even longer with a short wheel base / frame set up - so someone please weigh in to correct I believe the important thing is to have the appropriate / correct rear axle bracket for the plow frame the short wheel base tractors used shorter plow frame - and the rear axle bracket attached in front of the rear axle ... the long wheel base tractors used the longer plow frame - and the rear axle bracket attached under the rear axle I believe the longer plow frames with two crossbars can be used on the short wheel base tractors - but with the appropriate rear axle bracket attached under the rear axle been a while since I looked at the rear axle bracket I have for my 704 - but it might be a tad different than the bracket I have on my 312-8 Edited December 10, 2020 by tom2p 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,168 #8096 Posted December 10, 2020 Removed the 48'' SD deck from the 312 today. Bottom looks clean, try never to cut wet or a damp lawn. Noticed a flat tire on the 520, removed and brought to a local tire shop, had a HD tube installed, total amount 15.00 for the tube and 10.00 for the labor, back home re install tire and wheel, weight and chain, go for a trail ride on the 312. Back inside and cranked up the big wood stove in basement. 8 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
