Not gonna hold my breath but maybe, not for the first time, might have someone who will resurrect the dying tractor. Cross your fingers and spit on your hat.
@damselfly59 That is exactly the issue. Hydraulics failed and I don't have the means to crack the thing in half to get at the seals.
@b4cks4w wish I could send you my mechanic. Only about 4 hrs and ton of fluid later...I am running again.
@b4cks4w <strikes tractor on the front engine cover with his palm> Be wheeled! <smiles in self satisfaction>
@b4cks4w schweet! She's a classic. I have a new best friend who taught agricultural equipment repair in college. Got my hydraulics working again! It's hard to find that kind of skill for these tractors nearing a century of service.
