ljones 9 #1 Posted July 31, 2014 Just brought home my new to me 1967 877. It's a little rough and I don't know much about it. Is there anything I should be checking on these? I only found the hydro service manual. Are there any operator manuals? What kind of fluid goes in the trans? I haven't seen "type a" anywhere. Are the lights original? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,928 #2 Posted July 31, 2014 Nice looking Horse you got there. I'm sure plenty of others will show up and be able to answer all your questions. There is a manuals section here, it is very nice. Type A fluid is GM's first version of what became Dexron. Dexron III can be found at any parts store and is backward compatible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 2,398 #4 Posted July 31, 2014 Lights are not original , this tractor would not have come with fitted lights. The hood on your tractor has the 7 hole fins on the front grill. Nice tractor , I love the short frame series., Welcome to Redsquare Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ljones 9 #9 Posted August 1, 2014 Is there any napa part number for the trans filter? Does anybody have a picture of how the govoner/throttle cable hook up is supposed to be? Mine was bypassing the govener. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ljones 9 #12 Posted August 1, 2014 Minor setback with the horse. I had this rattle/clunking sound coming from the blower housing. I took it all off to find it and found this behind the flywheel. I figured I'd just take the one from the JD but it's no good either. You can see a small crack next to the keyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ljones 9 #13 Posted August 2, 2014 I figure the original flywheel broke from running way to fast. The po hooked the throttle cable right to the govner arm. I think I got it fixed back now. Does it look right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ljones 9 #14 Posted August 2, 2014 Is this thing supposed to have a brake? Mine doesn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,928 #15 Posted August 2, 2014 No brake, just the belt tension release for the hydro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ljones 9 #16 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) What's the pedal that goes to the trans on the flywheel side of the one AMC RULES has? Edited August 2, 2014 by ljones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,937 #17 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Clutch pedal. Returns the trans to its neutral position... which in turn, locks it up like a brake. http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/download/1113-tractor-1967-877-om-ipl-wiringpdf/ You can't roll this tractor in the neutral position, without opening the tow valve first.
