155D 300hr service.

[chevy791979]

So last night I decided to run the valves and change oils and such. The valves were around 12-14 thousandths should be .008. No big deal but at only 300 hrs seems a bit odd. Anyone else seen much change in valve clearance ?

Wow, you have a 155 with only 300 hours? That does seem a bit excessive for 300 hours but not sure about 38+ years.

 

[chevy791979]

I know right. It's a real nice tractor. Almost too nice. Lol. .004 isn't bad given the fact this thing turns 2700 and the rocker arms aren't very big. And having decompression isn't doing valve spring pressure much favors over the years. But was just wondering what anyone else has seen in theirs

I was thinking the same thing????:confused2: A 30+ year old tractor with only 300 hours?

Not the best pics but the nephews loved driving it. Mind you it was in low range first gear at 1500 rpm lol

My YM2000B only has about 680 hours.

O come on! You even made your nephew wear matching sneakers.

Looks very nice. :thumbsup:

Looks to have been kept in the shed since 1980. Assuming that is the original paint. :thumbsup:

I put 827 hours on my 2002D in the six years I had it. I have put 561 hours on my Bobcat in the 2-1/2 years I've had it. No doubt we all use our tractors differently.

And that's over double the claimed hours of this tractor!!

And a matching shirt.

:laughing: pants even match the seat. Wasn't for his hair you wouldn't know he was there. Just having a little fun with the OP.


Still was very well kept. Doesn't look as though it was repainted either.

Original paint. Tires and all original implements that it came with it the day it was new. I'm the second owner. I've put almost 100 hours on it since I've had 6 months.

 

[clemsonfor]

100 in 6 months sounds like normal

Yep, and almost as unusual as a 30+ year-pld tractor having 300 hours.

I know right. I really lucked out here finding this one. And being the second owner to boot. Lol
