Here is the skinny on this machine, T5C, serial #5980117, haven't had any luck on finding the year either. I've worked on it, on and off, over the last year or so. Rebuilt the swing cylinders, new hoses, grease fittings, ect. It showed backup at the repair shop, the owner had loaded it on his dump trailer a while ago. He need to use the trailer and it would not start up. The owner wanted to fix it and sell it. The engine, 20 hp kohler over 4000 hrs, appears to be shot, one cylinder is toast, hopefully I have an ace in the hole as they say, I have a good 24 hp kohler that I acquired with a zero turn mower I bought last year. So I offered to buy it as is. To get it off the trailer I pulled the spark plugs and used the starter to power the hydraulic pump to run it off the trailer. Not the greatest way, but it worked to unload it. I suppose I could do it again to get it in the shop. But I got to thinking their must be someway to release the drives and save the starter. Thanks to you all I now have an idea where to look to release the drives. Their may be a by-pass valve or hose to unhook on the pump, to release it. Due to the crappy weather it may be a couple of days before I get a chance to check it out and will up date with what I find.
Thanks again
Jo

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
