We had to completely rebuild the hydraulic resivoir, the motor had seized up after sitting in the field for 2 years so we had to free it up and hone the cylinder carefully, and we also had to have the head re-worked becuase all of the valve springs had decompressed due to the heat. I had to replace the gas tank due to the heat messing up the inside and the welded seam. I also had to replace the steering shaft knuckle that fits into the steering support arm because it had totally melted and dissappeared. Everything electrical (wires, switches, relays, solenoids, etc.) were GONE and didn't exist on the tractor. I had to do a bunch of research on the later style 140's to see what all was on the tractor and where it went. We had to replace the hood as well because the heat had warped the metal and it was wavy all over and needed new latch springs. The radiator was salvagable after we had the neck soldered back on by a local radiator shop. The heat had melted the solder on the neck causing it to come loose. We didn't have to replace any seals at all nor did we have to take the rear section down and rebuild. Ummmm........I have a parts list in Excel spreadsheet I can email you (or post on here if it will let me somehow).
It was quite a project and full at the same time. I just wish I could have kept the tractor.
She informed us that the tractor had between 200 and 400 hours on it and we believed every bit of it because of the way the pistons looked. They bought it new and once we got it going again, it was evident that this tractor is still "new". The whole tractor is tight and sound like the day they left the factory. I have NEVER seen another tractor in that good of shape unless it had been fully restored!!! Even the rear rims had not a speck of rust anywhere on them and you could still read the stampings on the insides. haha. The front cowl didn't have a dent or a ping anywhere. Hard to believe it is in that good of shape. Really makes me proud to save a tractor especially when it was in that good of shape!!

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
