I wuv my tractor again!

Howdy guys!
Rear hydro and steering wasn't working. Amazing what a couple of gallons of fluid will do for it!
Had a leak on the injection pump and stopped it.
She has never steered so well...one handed even!
Although I had her running yesterday, usually, even the next day, she would be a total brat about starting again.
Went out tonight, turned the key and touched the button and she started in a heartbeat! No starter fluid either. Gosh!
Imagine what she would do if her intake and throttle were all properly intact!
Mowed the south side of the barn with a big grin on my face.
Got her sitting right outside the bedroom window...hubby is rolling his eyes.

I think I am hearing the PTO running even though I have it shut off. Might be the trani, not sure. Just feels like the gears are turning inside even though it isn't spinning. Last time I used it, it was slipping,so I adjusted it. It's been a while and I don't recall hearing the gears.
Should they be turning?????

Talk at ya later.
Gonna go stare at the tractor....and smile!

Hi Diana, seems like you like your tractor again. The PTO on some of the IPTO models will make a little whining noise. It very well could be an adjustment issue as the reactor bands do need to be adjusted from time to time. The drive line to the PTO does turn all the time. Not sure about the utility but row crops have a seasonal disconnect under the belly of tractor to disengage this when not used for long periods of time. I found a 350 D utility parts tractor. The guy is going to look tomorrow to see if it still has a manifold and linkages on it. I am glad you like your tractor again. Once you get the rest of that rigging fixed you will want paint.
