Old Iron 1978
New User
Hello all. New to the site.
Before I begin, I will be visiting my local JD dealer to buy the shop and owners manual for my tractor.
I believe it is a 1977 Deere 1630. Looks as though it was never a model in the US. Canada and Europe.
I have a few things to fix up, but over all it's beautiful.
Hopefully someone can help me out. It has the 4-8 transmission, no hi-lo. No parking brake, but no parking gear either. At least, it's not letting me put it in park. Is there something i can check to see if it has a parking gear?
I can't see anywhere there would be a parking brake lever even...except maybe a small hole with a plug on it.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
I've got lots more questions! hydraulic remotes and the like. But i'll save that for later.
