    100 Hydraulics

    Well, checking the oil level is a no-go because I just changed the oil. But I will check that seal if I can detect a leak visually.

    100 Hydraulics

    My touch control hydraulics on my 100 will not raise or lower. Last year they got slow and it took awhile raising and lowering before they started working at all. So, where do I begin? Fluid change? New pump (I have one I can take off a parts Super A)? Pressure check (I don't have a gauge...

    Response to Article

    That was mentioned in the article too I think. The "codes". Just like the newer cars, the "codes" give direction on what's wrong.

    Response to Article

    Yes, the article even mentioned legislation called the "right to repair" bill that was introduced in Wisconsin or another state. That's pretty bad when you aren't even allowed to try and fix a tractor without calling the green service truck.

    Response to Article

    I read an article yesterday that was about how used tractors--especially from the 80's--were fetching premium prices because they had some life in them and even if they were well used it was cheaper to rebuild than buy new tractors. Especially in the face of newer tractors being so computer...

    B Clutch problem

    Thanks Ken. I'll have to find the old one. Some old parts I threw away and some I kept. I should have kept this as there was nothing wrong with it. I just replaced it because that's what I do on a rebuild while the tractor is split.

    B Clutch problem

    Thanks again Jim. This is interesting. I didn't know there was a way to remove the clutch with the springs still compressed. I had been just backing out the 6 bolts a little at a time until the clutch was free. Here's what I've decided to do. I'm going to bolt together the tractor and...

    B Clutch problem

    Thanks for the numbers Jim. I'm going to do some measuring on what I can measure.

    B Clutch problem

    And that's what I sit on my shop stool and stare at--that once I bolt down the clutch into the flywheel, the fingers depress a great deal. Of course, they should depress some as the clutch should be engaged at that point. But I wonder if the fingers are getting depressed so much that the TO...

    B Clutch problem

    The friction disk will not sit flush into the flywheel when turned around. The bolts from the flywheel to the crankshaft prevent it from doing that. I have a parts manual and I followed the picture in the manual.

    B Clutch problem

    Thanks. I haven't had too much trouble taking it apart and putting it back together. I have the front of the tractor held up with chains to the gas tank support and two cultivator bars attached to the side of the tractor by the front wheels. The chains go to an engine puller. Not as good a...

    B Clutch problem

    Jim, the friction disk cannot be put in backward. I broke the B apart (for the third time) this morning and the friction disk, when turned around, will not fit flush into the flywheel because the bolts that attach the flywheel to the crankshaft prevent the disk from setting completely against...

    Super A Block

    This is no help but last year I bought three tractors to get one good block. So my rule is this: If it's not running, pull that head and check for cracks (one of those three appeared good looking at the block but the exhaust manifold hid a tiny crack that was clear as a bell one the head was...

    B Clutch problem

    So, then, I've got the clutch plate (the thin disc) or pressure plate--whichever it's called--in backward? Is that what you're saying? I know that when I bolt the clutch to the flywheel the fingers really get depressed into the clutch toward the engine and it seems like the throw-out bearing...

    Tractor purchase.

    I couldn't help but reply about bidding against a far fence at an auction. I was at an auction and the auctioneer got caught running up the bid by pointing toward the back at a supposed bidder when finally one of the guys standing in the back stopped the auctioneer and asked who he was pointing...
