Well I have been working on getting my JD 4320 project going. I finished disassembling everything this afternoon. I was going to do it section at a time but I wanted to make sure I had enough stuff to completely assemble it back. So I tore everything down to see what parts where good and what where bad.
So they are: Parts of five motors, Three transmissions (one burnt one, one good case and one wrecked case)not a good reverse gear in any of them LOL some how have four high range gears???, four rear ends(two with broken housings and one that is burnt)have four sets of real good brake plates but not a single good brake piston. they all are rusted or the plating is coming off of them, Eight different selective control valves laying around and may still have to buy some new spools, Two sets of the left hand side panels and no rights (screw up on my part as I thought I had rights and just bought another set of lefts last week), Two wide front ends but I think they both are bent, enough rear casting and rims for 3-4 tractors (none with a good tire on them LOL), Three right hand fenders and only one left. Don't know how that came about.
So I have parts scattered around the whole shop and one shed. The biggest problem was that I started collecting/gathering part for this 15 years ago. So I still have to dig some of them out of the sheds. It is funny that I way too many of some things and none of a few others. An example of this is battery boxes. I have four lefts and no rights. What??? I have three seat assembles. I don't remember where they came from. I just remember one.
So it is kind of like a snipe hunt and scavenger hunt rolled into tractor project. I already have more free space in the one machine shed as I had pallets of parts stored in there for this project. Then just for fun I found a pallet of transmission gears out of a JD 4020 thrown in just to make it more fun. LMAO I have been doing a lot of gear tooth counting the last few days.
