I looked at this tractor a couple of weeks ago and bought it after getting some good advice from a number of folks on this board.So after a weeks worth of tinkering I got her running tonight, runs very nicely but leaks oil from any number of places. I determined that it does not have the TA and it appears to have a transmission driven pto, looks like I've got a winter project. I do come armed with some more questions,it has a rather disturbing whining noise coming from the distributor, it looks as though the hyd. pump has been rebuilt and the distributor looks OK, but I never looked at the drive gear, do these have problems or should it be noisy? The motor is very quite otherwise I might not hear the distributor. I was impressed with how quick and smooth the lift arms go up and down and stay put when the lever is returned to center, but the other lever on the right side, which I assumed engaged/ disengaged the pto simply makes the lift arms drop, of course there was no load on the pto but does this lever need to be used in conjunction with the clutch? Finally one more question, sorry to go on so I'm a little groggy as I should have opened the shop doors sooner, a little too much CO. Does anyone have some pics of what this tractor should look like in terms of paint colour? Once again your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
