Hello All,
I just picked up this tractor a few weeks ago for $4,000. parked it and have since been going through it. I was shocked to see a century brand hydraulic filter still on it! I have been using this site a lot to help find cross reference filters and fluids, So thanks a lot for that!
Things done so far:
-changed all fluids and filter. (the WIX hydraulic filter 51202 doesn't seem to fit right, leaks a little at the bottom and was hard to seat all the way. I think I am going to have to try a Napa one.)
-changed water pump gasket due to leak.
-new belt
-new coolant because of gasket.
-new glow plugs
-left side loader hydraulic lift cylinder leaking so got it rebuilt.
-new air filter
To Do:
-Left side tank is leaking diesel at seam. previous owner did a patch job but it's failed. have plastic welding kit ready after I run it really low on fuel.
-need to take entire exhaust apart and replace gaskets and retorque.
other than these things, it drives and shifts really smooth. even though it only had about 5 gallons of fluid in the tranny when I drained it. but no whine or weird noises, so that's good.
If anyone knows a good/maybe more comfortable seat that would swap right out for the current one do please let me know. one easy to get at tractor supply or the likes. thanks.
