c-series don 8,730 #87 Posted October 20, 2020 A true barn find. It was sitting in a barn for at least the past 18 years. The guy I bought it from only owned it for one day, he got it from the original owners family! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frankenstein 58 213 #88 Posted October 20, 2020 Thats funny. My story is similar. Kid I bought it from had it a week. He got it from the original owners estate. The kid lost his storage and sold it to me. He kept calling it a 57. I told him it was a 58 because of the 3 speed trans. He said the family said it was a 57. So I guess we were both kinda right. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,023 #91 Posted October 21, 2020 How many miles does it take to get to the center of a spindle? That little tractor has covered some ground 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frankenstein 58 213 #92 Posted October 21, 2020 A lot of miles or no grease. Or both. Pictures of the trans. It was bone dry. Looks like it is in neutral still frozen solid. I love that little leather shifter boot. And no number on top of trans 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
71_Bronco 1,072 #93 Posted October 21, 2020 Looks like the spindles on my Lawn Ranger. Both were like this. Old wheels had steel bushings instead of a bearing, and killed the spindles. A-Z Tractor had a set he had just gotten in, but couldn't ID them as they are a little unique. Needless to say, I scoffed them up, and added a new set of bearing-wheels to the front to prevent this from happening again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eriks Red horse herd 107 #98 Posted October 27, 2020 Fill the trans with diesel fuel and wait a week . Each day check to see if you have any play. The diesel fuel will loosen her up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
