    TO30 PTO shaft broken, guidance appreciated

    Thanks Jim, I figured that was probably a thing. In the spirit of making the best use of what I had, it was a compromise I was willing to make, at least for the short term. The only implement that I don't typically use the over runner for is the post hole auger. I guess in a pinch I could do...

    TO30 PTO shaft broken, guidance appreciated

    Quick update: Drained oil and pulled shaft. Figured that was the most direct way to find out what I was in for. It was broken at the snap ring groove just behind the bearing. It was far enough back to grab with my fingers and give it a wiggle and she came right out. Used a magnet to feel around...

    TO30 PTO shaft broken, guidance appreciated

    Thanks Jerry, this is the "Between the procedures" ideas I am looking for. Getting through the rest of the season would be nice so I can overhaul everything over the winter, but let's be honest. If I fixed it up and put it back to work quick and dirty style, the temporary would become...

    TO30 PTO shaft broken, guidance appreciated

    Thank you Bob! The illustration showing the cross section of the shaft and pump from your parts manual is most helpful. My minds eye had it looking something like that inside based on the exploded views In the version I have. My repair manual doesn't get too deep into this. Kinda treats it...

    TO30 PTO shaft broken, guidance appreciated

    Hello All, I have been studying up on this and have arrived at the point where I have nearly gathered up the gumption to crack into the old machine to take a look at what broke and where. Looking for one last chance for some wisdom from those who know who can manage expectations. Here's what...

    post hole auger questions

    Got ahold of Glenn who had posted his email address in another thread here a while back. Glenn Danuser <[email protected]> He verified it is an early F7 or F8 as you suggested. he also suggested I go with a kit to rebuild/retrofit a modern pinion shaft to it. PTO Conversion Kit PN...

    post hole auger questions

    Hey guys, Been Digging around for the drive shaft for this post hole auger. It looks like an odd one. Have not seen a splined implement end (used to seeing the cross drilled 1-1/4" smooth). This one has 19 splines and measures out to 1-3/4" dia. I could not find a tag anywhere to lead me to...

    Running gear identification

    Thanks Guys! I think its safe to assume at this point that it is either electric wheel or made by them under a trade name. it is 71" track width (CL to CL of tires. it's set at 88" wheelbase. curious what it would extend to or what length others find most useful. figure I will probably have to...

    Running gear identification

    Thanks Dennis, I'm likely to hunt down some used tires for the time being.I have reached out to my local farm salvage and it's not looking like 14" rims are going to be easy to find in that pattern. One looks really rough. Can't plan to get in much of a hurry on any of the fixing with it...

    Running gear identification

    Thanks Joe, I'm kind of arriving there. Looking at it I see a clear path on where to start, and I'm certainly no stranger to specing out parts based on size and feature. However I have found that part numbers can sometimes be helpful in terms of part searching. And I always enjoy seeing old...

    Running gear identification

    Here's where the tag was supposed to be. On the back like you guys suggested. Unfortunately, it was ripped off and destroyed except for two slivers and the rivets. Didn't check my messages in time to get a measurement of the width. But here it is next to some standard pallets for scale...

    Running gear identification

    Thanks guys, It has 14" 5lug wheels (looks like the larger Chevy truck pattern but I haven't measured yet to verify) Guessing it's rated as a 6t? Looked for a tag on the tongue and front axle/bolster where it seemed one might be but didn't see one. I will for sure look again a little...

    Running gear identification

    Hello everybody, Trying to identify this old running gear I've seen pics elsewhere on the net that look close (like Oliver 5029a) I am going to take a guess that the company "Electric" made these for a lot of people. was not able to find an identification tag in anywhere though maybe...

    Big Bee Bush hog

    Hey there, working on getting this old bush hog going. It's a Big Bee LW-540. I have downloaded the manual and was just curious what type of oil the gear unit takes. In the manual it says SAE 90 or SAE 120 "Transmission oil". Seems I am not so well versed on the older terminology. I would...
