    new head gasket leaks

    Thanks to all for the comments. The gasket I have only goes on one way (bolt alignment). Both the head and block were checked by the machine shop and were good. He milled the head anyway just for security. The bolts were torqued per the manual. Helicoil inserts and all new bolts, washers and...

    new head gasket leaks

    Got the engine back (Z129) from the machine shop on a total overhaul and found a small coolant leak at the head gasket. Retorqued the bolts but no change. Tried a new gasket with copper coat, no change. I witnessed the shop check the block and milled the head and both were a good match. I was...

    New kid on the block

    Sounds like a lack of fuel problem. As I learned with my TO30, pull the fuel tank and clean the rust and crap from inside. Remove the fuel valve / bowl assembly and plug the hole. I put about 2 cups of small stone chips (1/2") and Dawn soap and water in the tank. Keep shaking around until the...

    Hydraulic Lift Problems

    No I changed the fluid and replaced with UTF which is 85W. I was hoping not to pull the pump and get away with the lift piston rings. Guess I need to get dirty again. Thanks, MJD

    Hydraulic Lift Problems

    My TO30 lift arms will not stay in the up position when the PTO is disengaged and a bush hog attached. The mower will slowly lower until on the ground (3-4 min.) Also after using the bush hog for several hours, the lift arms have a hard time picking up the mower since the fluid is hot. Does this...

    Trans axle serial numbers

    I have found a stamped number in the transmission housing next to the starter switch and the top/left rear axle housing next to the trumpet. These numbers start with "D" followed by 5 digits. Anyone have any idea what these mean?? Thanks, MJD

    TO30 Hood Emblem

    I'm missing the "Ferguson 30" emblem on the left side of the hood (looking from the seat). I want to keep everything as close to original as possible. Does anyone have just the left side emblem? Thanks, MJD

    TO30 front axle support

    The front axle support on my TO30 has some major flaking rust in the "bowl area" due to years of neglect and not cleaning the drain hole. Nothing is completely thru but probably half of the metal is gone in spots. I'm inclined to replace the support rather than chance loosing the axle, radiator...

    TO30 Front hub grease fittings

    Has anyone installed grease fittings in the front hubs? I'm thinking about doing this but I'm not sure if that small hole will weaken the hub casting. Thanks, MJD

    TO 30 12v conversion

    When converting to the 12 volt system, I see ytmag has the kit but it doesn't look complete (coil, regulator,etc). Does the starter and gauges need to changed as well. Thanks, MJD

    TO 30 fuel tank

    This is my first tractor restore project and when I removed the fuel tank, noticed a large metal plate inside that is loose. I guess it"s a splash baffle but not sure. Any sure answers ?? Thanks, MJD
