Randy: I'm in a bit of a hurry here this morning, but have read much of this thread. How long have you had this tractor? Do you know if it sat parked for a period of time in past? When these tractors are parked and never started for long periods, they tend to get a bit of rust up top in gear cases. I would try changing the gear oil, then administer some use. You will be amazed at what use will do. I ran into this with the 140 I have, parked for 10 years in a heated warehouse. When I got it, gear shifting was stiff and it was impossible to engage pto. New gear oil and use has heeled all. Certainly beats wrenches and lifting. You don't need to see the inside unless you have noise or leaks. Just one of the good policies I've found with old tractors. Have a little story for you. I once bought a farm next door. The neighbor subdivided out and kept his late parents 25 year old house. He and family moved in and he proceeded to dig up by hand all water lines, sewer lines and drains, just for inspection, they were all working. I rented the old farm house to a retired guy that was very quick wited and a good sence of humor. One evening while milking my dad and I could see the shoveling in yet another trench. My tenant walked down to barn where dad and I were. Dad asked him, "What in the name of time is Harry doing now?" The tennants responce, " I think he's going to declare war, he has his trenches all dug." This principle can apply to old tractors as well.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
