I just bought a TO30 over the weekend i thought it was a steal
I paid 1100 dollars talked down from 1350
The rear tires looks new but one is showing rust around the valve stem . should i remove the calcium in the tires . i just plan on using a 7 foot blade for grading a driveway and snow removal when the time comes .
also i am shopping for brush hog i see a cheap 4 ft on craigslist for 350 thats a king kutter . I have small brush lines along the fences i want to take care of and once i get my field whipped in to shape i will prolly just use a finish mower to cut what the horse and future cows wont eat . can i get by with a 4 ft or should i just step up and get a 5-6 foot brush hog ?
it has alternator issue with the fuse holder that is broke and missing on the field lead to the alternator should i install a splash proof fuse holder with a 5, 7.5 or 10 amp fuse ?
also just completed my first 40 dollar oil change on the fergie i used rotella 30w oil and a quart of lucas oil stabilizer . iv used the stabilizer in many applications so i think it should run good but looking at tractor data i see 30w is recommended for 50-120 degrees but do i have to do a seasonal oil change for the winter months when it is woken up to blade off 3-12 inchs off snow ? or can i get by with a good warm up then go play in the snow ? I plan on being a neighbor hood hero doing a few neighbors drives might get a six pack out of the deal or a few bucks for fuel .
oh the and yes the transmission/hydraulic fluid shows a little gummy milk on the dipstick . i think the previous owner never shedded this tractor and rode her hard and kept her wet .
whats a replacement fluid and how would i go about getting the contaminated stuff out (all of it ) .
i think i am on the end of finishing up a bodged up 12 volt conversion ( hence the fuse for the alternator ) i want the tractor lights to work i can get the wiring down with a new switch and rerunning or checking the installed connections or wires but what is a part number for 12v bulbs for the front i can use ?
anybody have a paint code for the original ferg. grey ?
now by a show of hands of the purist how many of you would grab torches and pitch forks if i installed a led work light for the rear ?
is there a way to get the original s starting gear position to work or did that die with 12v conversion ?
i know that's like a dozen broken poor grammar questions but it was i want to hear about if i call family or friends i get different answers and some dont know much about the model specific ones
