My 'New' 320

[toddsmith23]

Thanks to Joe and many others helping me out with my 'new' 1958 320.

I've done some repairs, but mostly maintenance at this point. I do believe it's been neglected for many years, hopefully not too much damage done. Still a fair amount to do yet. lots of hydraulic leaks (all cylinders) and so on.

Taking it over to Eastern Washington where she'll live out her life in a nice, clean, dry barn, and digging the occasional ditch, spreading gravel and cutting trails.

Pics attached.

Thanks!!

Looks good.
Hope I can get mine looking half as good.

During your repairs, did you find a good source of parts? I'm in
need of parts for my shuttle shift

I've found parts from Steiners & Roberts Tractors in Port Townsend, Wa. Roberts is a tractor salvage, i've bought engine parts from them. Let me know if you need contact info.

Those of us who have rescued salvage yard quality tractors can appreciate what you have done with this 320. Good job and many hours of fun running
time to you.

Thank you! But really the thanks belongs to this forum as well as service & parts manuals.

There's still an awful lot to do, hydraulic leaks, i might have a leak between the engine & torque tube (either that or i over filled it.) and so on. Power steering doesn't work, but i can live with that for a summer, although i do need to weld the drag link where it comes together at the yoke... it's actually a very fun project, i don't foresee ever selling this gem.

I have all the parts for rebuilding the bendix steering cylinders like new.

That sounds great! I'll PM you for details.
