Hi Deano. Thanks for getting back to me. We have the same
tractor & loader so this is VERY helpful to me!

My s/n is 3507 J, which makes the front part of the tractor about
a '58 I think, but the trans housing casting code was definitely
from '60 or '61 according to experts on this forum, which is
what the seller told me the year was ('61). He was like the 3rd
owner, from what I gathered, first being state of Connecticut. I
paid $2500 for it as is, and the left axle housing had a bad leak
which I fixed as a 2-day project. Plus the clutch was badly
adjusted, and I managed to get that working so I can get some
silent shifts at least part of the time. I don't know what I did but
it's definitely better than it was when I "kicked the tires" and
settled the price.

Since this is a loader, I figure somebody probably had the good
sense to make sure it had power steering 40 years ago. Sure
could use it today! Yes, there is a pump underneath the dash/
gas tank area but I never knew what it did! Can't see any leaks
from that area, but I hear this whine from up front when I move
the wheel sometimes, just like you might on your car if your
power steering is failing. I know that my steering gear is shot --
the front wheels can flop all around at weird times if they hit a
bump or a log wrong and I can't crank the wheel at ALL when
standing, only when rolling. I can spin it like a merry go round
before it will start to turn the wheels when I am under way!

I don't think my Superior loader can exactly lift a house, but I
know from experience it can lift the rear of the tractor off the
ground, even with filled tires which weigh probably 500-800 lbs
apiece. It will definitely hold hyd oil up to that filler neck. (Is
yours in same place?) I used it today for several hours, and
there were no adverse affects from filling it that far the other
day.

My challenge is going to be hyd hose replacement. I have
several that control the bucket tilt that are naked to the nylon
cords, but the fitting nuts are disintegrating. A mechanic friend
told me I would probably need to have a professional change
them out and I believe him. I don't have a trailer so I will need a
tractor house call, if I can get one.

I can email you a picture of my rig and my hydraulic filter if you
are interested. You can email me at dd@kathleendustin.com.

happy loading, Dave

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]
