Inspired by the recent thread that called for a bit more followthrough when a fellow has asked a bunch of questions. I am the guy who asked a ton of questions about the Canadian tractors. Specifically the 1630. I had found one locally in Washington state. Buickandeere was kind enough to offer quite a bit of info, and a geography lesson as well.("The US is not the center of the universe") The archives where a great source of info as well. I searched 2240 (the US equivelant) and was schooled on other peoples comments regarding this model.

Anyway the update: I bought the tractor. (despite Hugh's comments to stay away)I was seduced by the size, the live pto, the hi/lo. It lasted about 5 hours and the pto clutches went south. The sump screen was so packed with material that I could barely coax it out of the machine. Then there were the posts to try to diagnose that problem. Here a gent from TX, a retired shop manager I believe chimed in with some great advice and I continued to update him on progress via email.

It is now in the shop for new clutches, I had to borrow a tilling rig from the neighbor, and it should be back on the farm mon/tue. For this headache I traded off a working tiller, 4x4 compact JD and a JD brush hog. Live and learn. Our produce operation is growing and we needed bigger equipment. I feel like I am reinventing the wheel this year. Thanks for all the help.

Not to say I told you so but..... ..... . Either myself or someone said to check the trans oil, filter and screen for clutch/brake friction material. I often recommend an oil analysis and coolant ph too. Often the vender chnages his tune when he knows he can't pass off a trashed machine. Looks like some iliterate know it all retard put gear lube in the transmission/hydraulic system. Then having no morals they pawned the machine off as 'runs out good". About the only way these 20/30/40/50/55 utility tractors come up for sale is after somebody has trashed it.

It might not even been gear lube. At least once a year we'd get somebody into the daelership who'd "tried to save some money" buy buying El-Cheapo $18.00 a pail napthinic based hydraulic/transmission fluid instead of the OEM fluid. Usually cost them about $2000 in parts and labor for new clutchpacks and brake discs after thier bargain oil ate all the glue off and disintegrated the plates.

Uhmmmm. Thanks I guess. Did check out everything but the filters. I must say I wouldnt appreciate someone pulling my machine apart if it where for sale. Matter of fact I dont think I would let them remove anything but the spark plugs etc.

In a related story I once had a Ford f250 I was selling. Prospective buyer checked it up and down under the hood compressiion etc. Well he failed to relatch the hood correctly when he was finished and during my next trip to town at about 50mph that thing came up, slammed the cab and bent itself into a shape so ugly grown men cried at the sight of it. Scared me witless.

That's the beauty of taking an oil sample out of the dipstick or fill port with a vacuum pump. If the vender won't let you take a sample or "lift up her skirt to take a look". ( Won't let you remove the filter for a look even when you bring a new filter along with some oil.) Walk away from certain trouble and be glad. Did you smell any burned or sulphur type gear lube smell in the hydraulics/trans ? Any chance of sueing the dishonest vendor?
