Wanting to know what i'm looking at getting into on fixing the trans, current problem is can only go into 3 or 4th. That is all I have right now, I'm wonder if it is a trans problem or if it would more likely be a case-o-matic problem. If it is the case-o-matic what kind of ballpark would i be looking at for worst case scenerio. The tractor runs well, but the pump loses prime if it sets for a week or two, rotary pump. The experience with these pumps so far has been, its going to need a rebuild and it is going to cost about $1000-1200. Question, if i'm going to spend that money on the the pump, could an inline pump be put on there instead? [Reply]   [No Email]

I will research what I would be getting into on rebuilding the transmission, and probably shoot the guy an offer. Thanks again. [Reply]  [No Email]

Nothing to do w/ the converter. As for the fuel problem, sounds like fuel is leaking through the transfer pump. I would guess that the crankcase oil is being diluted w/ diesel. Very easy & cheap fix. The seals are less than $10.00 & easy to replace. The transfer pump is mounted to the side of the big pump & easily removed for servicing. [Reply]  [No Email]
