Good Morning!

Well, if nothing else, you guys have made me feel a lot better about this old red tractor. )grin(

My first clue should have been the bottom arms and the drawbar. The "extenders" on the 3-point arms were rusted solid in the full extended position and packed full of rock-hard Iowa dirt in behind them. I worked for two full days getting them freed up. Also, those bottom pivot balls at the tractor tortion bar have almost "no" evidence of wear.

The drawbar was likewise rusted solid in the full extended position and does show signs of a lot of wear from heavy pulling. This kinda tells me that the 3-point hydraulics haven't been working right for a long, long time and was allowed to just "rust up".

Last night, I pulled the seat and cover plate off and ran the tests from the IT manual. Very little pressure and nothing bleeding off in the piston area, so it looks like it is pump time. (This one uses the little 7gpm piggy-back pump and has no brake assist feature that I'm aware of. According to the manual, tractors shipped without the 3-point or fast hitch lift system didn't have a back pump at all, just a rear cover plate).

A new pump is $500, but I'm in so deep now that I can't turn back, and I guess I knew all along, deep-down that this old tractor was just a step or two away from the iron pile anyway.

Can I nose the tractor up on a bank (moving the oil to the rear) to change out the pump?

Thanks to all and excuse the long post,

Allan

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
