So I did a thing... Agria 8900D

[ptsg]

Exactly 2 months after I bought the tractor, it's going back together.

Oh and to make sure everything goes back together right, I'm being supervised by a wolf.

Yes it is.

Looking great - it will be in the fields in no time! How's your weather there this time of year, and what's first on the agenda for ir?

We've had a lot rain in the last couple weeks, now we have clear skies and warm weather for about a week.

The first job for it would be running the tiller that came with it but that tiller will be a project on its own. So it will be a while for its first job but I will for sure drive around. If I built the 3 pt arms in the mean time, I may try on the attachments from the other tractor.

My orchards, here at home, are in desperate need of tilling and I did brought my Branson back home to till those, but it's just too wet for those kind of activities yet.

A couple more steps done on the assembly. This thing goes together quite fast actually.

Had a slight mishap on the rear diff lock. I had to redo the diff lock linkage and the fender mounts but I did those at different times, now when pressing the pedal, it hits a fender mount right before fully engaging the diff lock. Just need to modify the length of the rod and should fix that.

Some random pictures. I'll eventually make a video with all the pictures of the project.

Nearly there. Pretty much just missing the hood and all the electric part. I'll probably drive it around without the electric part done.

By the way, the engine had to come out twice and the bell housing once. Of course, after everything else was assembled.

At least, I have now finally filled both gearboxes and steering box with 80W90. Need hydraulic oil, most likely some left over 15W40 I have around and diesel, so I can finally run it.

Front half of the tractor took a lot of time. Making some missing parts for the clutch pedal, adjust everything just right, running throttle and shutdown cables, fuel hoses, adding padding to the fuel tank mount, etc.

She's out in the wild!

Tractor operated super smooth, all the gears worked perfectly. It will take a while to get familiar with the gears since it's slightly different setup. Steering with pretty much 0 play, along with the center articulation that took so much time to fix.

I parked the tractor back in the garage and noticed some dripping out of the weep hole in the bell housing. So the engine will have to come out for a third time, this time a lot messier since I have diesel and hydraulic oil to deal with as well.

The only seal I didn't change, the transmission input shaft seal, is the one that's leaking even though it looked in nearly perfect shape. Technically I ordered it but can't find it anywhere.

Congratulations on your success !!
Even with the leak, I bet your smiling.
Time, patience and of course an abundance of talent.

Looks awesome - you are very resourceful and do amzing work on what was a basket case of a machine. Really like the color combination of green and orange - looks sharp, the only thing i noted was the color of stuff sticking on left rear tire - looks like it might be smelly too .
