The Tractor: proceding with the repairs

Terry Coombs · 2014-10-27T02:58:34+00:00

Well , I've done about as much as I can without parts . The metal fatigue damage has been repaired . The starter has been cleaned and lubed . The sheet metal shrouding around the motor has been repaired , as have the cracked mounts at the bottom of the column . The steering gear has been cleaned , lubed , and the wear on the "cone bolt" has been TIGged up and machined back to profile . The missing blade on the hydraulic pump has been replaced - not a perfect repair , but I'd bet it"s a helluva lot closer to balanced now ! It also has a new battery , spark plugs , and fresh oil in the motor . Trans oil is next , already got the filter and I now know it needs type F auto trans fluid . I know I'll be needing more parts before everything works , but I'm gettin' more optomistic . That I'm not throwing money down a rathole ...

Tractordata.com says mine weighs in at 700 , but doesn't say how equipped . I also got the regular crossbar tractor tires , I don't have a putting green here . I haven't decided what to put on the front yet , but they're OK for now .

You know what a "quad" is? It's a 4 wheeled motor scooter. Your JD can pull every bit as much as a medium sized quad bike. (ATV)
