Living room tractor repair

Dan in Ohio · Dec 1, 2015

On a small scale. The part I need is still inside the main case somewhere. I will let you know when I need help. Told my wife to relax, it is the only tractor I have that does not leak oil.

LOL. I have heard about some people taking their Harleys into the living room for the winter, but this is the first tractor.

I've wanted to disassemble a tractor and put it back together in the toy room,but the wife has other ideas about that.

One winter when I was into garden tractor pulling, I was going to build a new engine but it was below zero and my shop was not heated. My wife, in a joking way, (maybe) said why not build it in the bath tub. Next thing, I was hauling parts in. I put several moving blankets on the floor and after the parts warmed up, went to work. She never complained.

Remember when Goober took a car apart in the courthouse on The Andy Griffith Show?

Knew a young fella that kept his motorcycle in the living room of his mobile home. He took too many drugs one day, started up his motorcycle (on the stand), set fire to the house and rode the cycle until everything burned down, yelling like a banshee until he collapsed into the fire.

I bought a tractor from a gentleman out in Washington State,went by his farm to pick it up.He built his home with a sliding glass door in his living room.He had a restored John Deere Experimental D in his living room on one side,and on the other side of the living room he had a completely restored early 30's Packard Car.He also had garages and barns full of everything known to man,greatest collection of stuff I've ever seen.Tractors,cars,trucks,equipment,airplanes,toys,etc.

If it don't leak then you need to oil the chain heavy while its "in the shop", then it will leak as well.

I worked with a guy that was a retired flat track motor cycle racer. He had several fully restored vintage flat track race bikes in his living room. They looked really nice and the rest of the room was a man cave with all kinds of racing related stuff all over the place. He said he had no problem getting his wife to let him decorate the room after she left him....

My dad and I redid a chain saw in the folk's kitchen one time and fired it up. Another time, dad had a newborn calf to save in zero weather so he brought a 4' stock tank into their living room and put the calf in it on some straw under a heat lamp.

You have to realize, my dad was only marginally housebroke anyway.

I think that the car on the Andy Griffith Show was a Willys Aero. One of the shows that did not have Don Knotts.

Dad told me that 30+ years ago when his best friend got married he and some other friends dismantled an old Farmall or John Deere tractor, I don't remember the brand or model anymore, and reassembled it in his friend's living room as a wedding prank. Not sure if that was good for the floor. Or the marriage.

My dad used to bring chainsaws in and repair them on the fireplace hearth with a fire burning. Mom wasn't real happy. After working in the cold in the woods all day he just wanted to get warm.

I rebuilt and souped up a 1969 Kawasaki 500 in my bedroom back in the 70es. Only issue I had was when I put some of the engine parts in the dish washer. Yea.....that didn't go over well.
