OK, so allready I found some trouble. It seems the part I thought would fit is actually not the same. From the HAKO catalog (remember this was initially a Hakotrac (Yanmar) and not a JD (Yanmar) there is two different main versions to chose from. If i chose the first one, catalog is just like...

After a couple of years of wonderful use of the tractor, it was time for a new axle related brakedown. I've put a few hundred hours on it, and only done regular maintenance and one welding of a broken parallell shaft for the steering, so the initial restoration really paid off. Today however it...

So more or less I'm finished with the restoration now. Only speedbump was the hazard light switch that was corroded beyond repair. Found it out when troubleshooting the turn lights that wasn't working and it seems the flasher relay was powered through that switch. Jumped it for now but I'm...

Perhaps I could Kenny. Though it is as it is with hobbies. Not everything is aboute money. :) I have to confess though that this restoration has gone a bit out of proportion but it will be very nice once finished and I'm closing up on that goal. All parts are now painted and repainted and I've...

Some more progress. Getting close now... The green parts has been painted with RAL 6029 which is not the right color but that's what the powder coater carried. And since I will be wet painting all the green parts nonetheless in order to get matching color on the plastic and sheet metal parts I...

A bit more progress made. Hoping to be able to finish the project by the end of next week but it might be a bit optimistic.

Perhaps the most newbie question on this board, but I ended up with an L245 a week ago that had sit for many years, and after a bit of overview and liquipds I've driven it and it does the job! However I can't seem to locate how to change between high and lo range on the tranny and my top speed...

Received some parts from surface treatment today. Some of them could have benefited from better preparations, but most seems really good. Lacks my batch of powder coat black's to be able to begin final re-assembly, but I will likely paint those parts in the beginning of next week. Feels good to...

Question of today... What is the lowest hole in the FEL mounting bracket for? I would have guessed a rod could preferably be installed between left and right side as it would greatly improve strength on the mount but it seems a strait rod would hit the front wheel drive axle. Am I missing a...

The pins and sleeves for the 3pt according to my question a few days ago were rusted beyond saving. One was also so badly rusted to the lift arm ball joint I had to drill it hollow to be able to pound it out. So fabricated some new ones this afternoon re-using the hooks from the old.

So basically almost all removable parts has been removed from the rear end and the 3p hitch housing was painted first. Afterwards I masked a few bits and continued with the aluminum tranny cases using the same paint as previously uses on the final drive housings. Next up is to try to work whith...

On my tractor, behind the valve package, there is an spacer-plate with two plugged ports underneath. Is this likely to be an allready factory installed part similar to the power beyon-part that I've seen around here? I will remove the valva package to find out how it looks tomorrow or on...

Also on the topic of free return inlet, I found a possibility in the very middle of this pichure. Saw it first only just now when looking over the pictures so I haven't opened it to se what's unserneath. But I find it very likely that this is in fact a prepared free return port. Will check it...

A few more parts has ended up in the "finished for surface treatment" box today but the major occasion was when I were ower at the neighbors which is an actual tractor workshop, to borrow their heat-wash. So nice to continue to work when it's all clean and I will put some paint on these parts...
