    BMG1, I am looking for the build and shipping dates of 3 G1000 fwa molines that were shipped to Australia some time in 1968. The serial numbers are - 32701539, 32701554 and 32701555. The engine numbers for the last two are 29703617 and 29703618. Would appreciate your assistance. It's hard to fit...

    G1000 FWA rebore/sleeve

    Thankyou all for your comments. Maybe a group response is more appropriate. SWMolines - There are parts available here, but I think they are getting very hard to find. A few years ago the price of scrap metal was so high that many tractor wreckers sent their slow moving scrap to China. I am...

    G1000 FWA rebore/sleeve

    Thanks J Wondergem. I won't be buying any parts until I know what I need. I think getting replacement pistons maybe the biggest problem so I just asked the question to get some thoughts on that issue. The pistons I get will determine whether I just have the blocks rebored or rebores and...

    G1000 FWA rebore/sleeve

    Some time ago I posted on this forum regarding a G1000 FWA Wheatland Diesel that I has rescued from a cattle station. Well I finally removed the heads from the motor, and the internals are not good. I now need to remove the front axle and sump and then the rod bearings so that I can pull the...

    G1000 FWA

    I should apologize for the quality of those photos. They were not good. I'll attach some better ones soon. Yes. there are a couple of Molines hiding in there behind the sprayer. A G1000 Wheatland and a G1350 behind it. The Case is an 870 with a fork lift attached. It gets used almost every day...

    G1000 FWA

    Some time ago, I posted a report on a Wheatland FWA that we rescued from a rubbish dump on a cattle station in Queensland, Australia. Some of you requested to be kept up to date on the project. Well the tractor has been sitting while I have been busy with other farm activities but I finally got...

    G1000 FWA

    BMG1 - Thanks for your reply on the numbers exported to Australia. 14 out of 89 is a few more than I expected. Do you have any information on when that batch of 1536-1539 was built? I would assume that Canada was the major non-USA market for those tractors. J Wondergem - You raise an...

    G1000 FWA

    Update on this Wheatland FWA. The tractor is now at its new home. We had to get some wheels on it so that it could be moved. And that rusty old cab has also been removed. BMG1 - The serial number is 32701538. The ID plate was badly damaged by the fire, although I think this is correct. The...

    G1000 FWA

    [G'day y'all. This G1000 has been sitting in a cattle station rubbish dump about 650 miles north west of Brisbane for more than 30 years. It was due to be buried with a lot of other rubbish. Fortunately we have managed to rescue it and it will now be brought home and rebuilt. It's going to be a...

    Moline Universal

    Folks, There is a Moline Universal coming up for Auction in Australia this coming Saturday. I saw it yesterday. I don't know anything about these tractors, but was told it runs and has been restored. It looks all there and is a 4 cylinder model, has lots of red paint and all the bits that are...

    G705/MF 97 brake discs

    I can't help on the brake discs, but I do have this cross reference between MM seals and Timken seals. Once you have a Timken number, you should be able to cross reference to any other brand. Also I don't know if all MM seals are listed here. Hope it helps. Paul MM Seal Number...

    G1000 transmissions/differential oil

    Let me add my two cents worth to this discussion as it seems to come up quite often, and I would also make the point that I am not recommending one type of oil over another - just providing something to think about. Some time back, I was changing the oil in the rear end of a couple of G1000s...

    Getting ready

    Doug, That is an impressive lineup. Lots of grunt there. I'd be interested to know what kind of oil you use in the rear end of those tractors.

    Transmission Oils - Vista and Wheatland

    Folks, Many thanks for all your responses. This is what I will do and why. I will use 80W-90 oil in the transmissions. I do think that in these situations, this would be a better way to go. I have not had any issues with the 20-30 hydraulic/transmission oil, and I have never seen it get...

    Transmission Oils - Vista and Wheatland

    I know that this topic has been discussed before, but I am still looking for some advice before I invest in a 50 gallon drum of oil. I am about to change the transmission/differential oil in a Vista and a Wheatland. I have always used Castrol oils and their recommended transmission/differential...
