Yes, they all show just fine now. Certainly the lap of luxury for snow removal.
Like those tires. That looks like a super nice setup. Someone is praying for a big snow!Dealer called saying the blower kit came in! It was definitely not quite "bolt on" like you'd expect though. A handful of wrong hardware, holes too small, and the latch on the quick connect mechanism needed tweaks. But the war was won and then mounted a 1x6 hydraulic ram for the chute deflector that runs off the wr long 3rd function valve.
It's a blessing and a curse being handy, seems everything likes to break around you haha.I imagine being able to do your own work saved you a good bit of money, though it would have been better not to have the headache at all.
I'm happy it was a relatively straight forward fix too! I purposely bought a used tractor that was still under warranty so I wouldn't have to deal with things like this. Well silly me, I didn't read the fine print close enough that the fully transferrable 5 year warranty is powertrain only. D'oh!Sorry to hear of your problem, but glad you were able to get at it for diagnosis & repair. WAY beyond my pay grade!
Reminds me of a V6 we had in a Plymouth Voyager van... oil pump cavity was cast into the timing cover; when that got worn there was no recourse other than replace the whole piece. Major expense.
Happy to share now we've moved on from the towing police haha! 930 hours on it now, it was bought with 760 near Oklahoma City last may. That a lot of hours for the previous owners to put on in a short time being it was purchased in December of 19. Drawbar is very heavily worn, 3 pt and loader had almost no wear. So I really think they were pulling a large batwing mower or hay baler allllll day with this thing in 100 degree summer heat causing the oil to get excessively thin.Wow, that's very unfortunate. Nice that you have the ability and knowledge to work on it.
Thanks for the descriptive write up and pictures!
How many hours were on your 1740?
