cleat 7,378 #27 Posted August 23 Tractor lost some more parts. Some of the parts cleaned and sitting on the bench. Hydraulic tubes and hoses cleaned up. Front wheels cleaned up.

MainelyWheelhorse 1,700 #30 Posted August 25 @cleat I’m looking forward to the final result. I do have a question for you hydro aficionados though. Would the Hydraulic lift parts off a later 520 fit a C series? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably, but you'll have to make up a new mounting bracket for the spool valve. The cylinder should have the same dimensions, and be rebuildable. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 7,378 #33 Posted August 27 No tractor work today. My Wife's Mother died this morning so we spent the day at the hospital, going to the bank, and talking to the funeral home. Her and her sister are going to the funeral home tomorrow and I am helping my daughter pack for her third year of college and I will be driving her up to Ottawa on Friday. 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is super excited to be heading back to Ottawa. We live out in the country about 10Km from Brockville. Brockville is a small city of around 22,000 people that she say is boring with nothing to do. Ottawa on the other hand has a population of around 1,000,000 people with a lot of attractions. Me on the other hand will drop her off and get out as large cities are not my thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 7,378 #42 Posted Saturday at 01:39 PM Not much happening right now. It's cloudy and spitting rain. There is a car show just up the road and I am hoping to take a car up to display. I did get the tie rods ready. I know I may need longer bolts but otherwise ready to be bolted on. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 7,378 #44 Posted Sunday at 03:07 PM Hydro lifted up using swivel 3/8" eyebolts, clevises, chains, slings, and an engine leveler. Hydro sat on three jack stands using a 3/4" bar through the rear hitch mount and a long 3/8" bolt threaded into a mounting boss. Hydro will be moved outside likely tomorrow or the next day for final cleanup and paint. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
