Retired Wrencher 5,329 #1 Posted May 18, 2019 After long three weeks she is done. There was a lot of little things wrong with this tractor. Not maintained like the owner said it was.The main thing was the tranny. The hubs where so frozen on the shafts and off the keys way that it busted the snap rings inside while trying to remove. So I brought to my delaer they had they had to recut the rig groove deeper to accept new rings. To cut cost took all parts off that where not necessary and did my own seals and fluid. Price was not bad. They had the parts so why not. 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZXT 2,396 #3 Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) Looks like a nice tractor! All that "maintained" means is that they kept fresh oil and gas in it.. Stuck hubs are just one of the few downsides of being in the friggin' cold part of the country. Edited May 20, 2019 by ZXT 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 66,579 #6 Posted May 20, 2019 Glad to see that thing is up and going Gary. Of course you know we're going to need pictures next time you push dirt with it or drive it around or even look at it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eric I bought some deep dish front tiers for the front = late 70`s early 80`s models. Will be painting them because I have the paint any way. I guess you never stop tinkering with these because we enjoy it. I will be posting some working picks or video. Thanks for the reply. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
