Hi all, very excited to post that my wife and i just bought our first tractor, an Allis Chalmers 6080. It is a 4wd model with a loader, cab and a/c. My FIL has a 25 horse kubota that we have used for chores around the farm, so this is a big step up for us. We are going to use it for haying. I have a handful of questions and am hoping you guys will be able to point me in the right direction.
I think the best thing i can do for myself is buy an owner and service manual. The tractor has been sitting for at least 5 years so I would like to do a full filter and fluid change. I need a few parts and have really hit a wall trying to find them searching online. I'm missing a banjo bolt on the fuel rail. I found the part number in the AGCO catalog (74322188) but i'm striking out on finding a dealer to order it. Can someone recommend a good dealer to give a call and order it from? I'm in maine and it doesnt look like there is anything around here. I did find a link to one place but nothing on the site would suggest the sell AGCO parts.
The cab is blocking what TractorData says is the location for the serial number. I'm not sure what year it is but i would love to find out. Is there another location i can find the SN or am i looking in the wrong place? (right foot location)
How many PSI am i supposed to put in the front and rear tires? All the writing on the rubber is faded off, i cant even tell tire size. The rears are loaded.
I'm pretty new to the tractor scene, can i get the filter and fluids at any tractor store? DO i need to go to a dealer or can I use a Tractor Supply Co. What else do you guys recommend doing before I put it to work?
It does have the thrust bearing update. Can someone who has one of these advise me on the best way to start it and run it in regards to being gentle on the thrust bearing? I noticed when it was running, the PTO was spinning even though the lever is in the off position. Am i missing something here? The tractor is leaking where the banjo bolt is missing so i didnt spend a lot of time troubleshooting. It is starting a little hard right now but until i get the fuel situation squared away i'm not going to worry about that.
Thanks all, real excited to join the community and hear back from you. Interested in any and all comments/suggestions. I attached a picture of it we took today after it was trailered home.
