Benjamen 0 #1 Posted September 5, 2015 So I'm not a fan of any brand or tractor.My goal was to get something with a horizontal shaft engine that I could put a 18HP vanguard engine in.I would like to use this for grass and snow removal.Also farting around in the woods.I got the tractor from my Dad who did nothing but let it rot in the yard. He got it from some guy.The shifter boot was ripped and well you can see what that did.So what do you guys think?The gears look OK but all the bearings are junk.Ill open the diff tomorrow........

rmaynard 14,761 #2 Posted September 5, 2015 Looks like a very re-buildable transmission to me. Bearings are usually stainless steel, or chrome steel and unless they are actually damaged, they will clean up nicely. If you do need bearings, most are still available with the exception of the 1533, and there are some good used ones of them available. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,192 #3 Posted September 5, 2015 I hope you put up some pictures of that differential when you open it. It was nice talking with you tonight. Maybe give us a picture of that horse. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slammer302 2,154 #5 Posted September 5, 2015 Its sad to say but thats is pretty normal to see if the horse has sat outside but looks very fixable 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sprocket 48 #6 Posted September 5, 2015 The rust colored water reminds me of the "coffee" I'd drink in high school - glad to see you're keeping a family piece in the yard.Good luck - many here will point you in the right direction.I loved you in "The 'Burbs".
