Dodgeit 08-07-2012 12:51:22 65.199.61.227 Report to Moderator	1959 711b looking to remove the hydralics and PTO to save some wasted power. By the looks of things, 4 bolts allows the removal of the hyd. housing and again 4 bolts allows the removal of the PTO assembly. Once the hyd. housing is removed,. Does the pump come out with the housing, or does it set lower in the casing? Looks like there is a gear on the shaft driving the PTO, that then transfers the power of the shaft to the pump. Any clearification would be appreciated. last question. once I get the guts out of the big housing, does the long shaft need to come out as well, and if so can I just pull it out the back without haveing to split the tractor?

I'm actually going to use lead racing weights inside the case. I want to be able to put her back stock when I'm finished pulling. [Reply]  [No Email]

Two 35 lb weights take up the same space as two 100 lb weights on a braket. With the weight in the housing, I have room for 400 lbs on the brakets without interfering with the clearance needed around the hook point, or having a braket so high it's hard to take the weights on and off.

I have no problems with guys pulling antiques but when their modified beyond undoing is a waste. Not trying to start a war but I'm not the only one with this opinion. [Reply]  [No Email]

Pull the rear housing off and long shaft, plate the top hole and put a suitcase bracket on the back! [Reply]  [No Email]

Plan to fill the big case with lead. That part of the tractor is perfectly placed. I just want to empty it out so lead will fit in at the bottom and not interfere with moving parts.

I'm assuming you are talking about pouring melted lead into the housing. And yes, the long shaft will have to be removed. Again, I'm not even sure if I'm thinking along the same lines you are.

It's much easier that way. Seems like there are ten 15/16" bolts that hold it on. Some are studs, but most are bolts. Hydraulics and PTO will all come off at the same time. Then, just pull out the PTO drive shaft. I made a flat cover for the rear of my 400 and 700 out of 3/16" plate. Works great. [Reply]  [No Email]
