Dad bought it new. 8 years ago he hit a hole behind my house one Saturday and tore the front end out. He was going to junk it but I decided to rebuild the front end. The cage around the power steering cylinder was warped. But taking it to work and pulling it straight on a frame machine solved the problem.
Dad's legs were getting weak and in 2011 he could no longer walk at age 84. So I took over his few cows and the tractor he wanted me to have.
I'm 47 so I've rode her since I was 4.
Life hasn't let me do much work on on the wire out parts. Last year I installed a new fuel tank. And finally got a shed. Most of its years dad let her sit in the rain. I cleaned the hydraulic system out as soon as I got a shed. I just finished rebuilding the brake system and replacing fuel injectors and seals. Thought the only fuel leak I'd have left is where the throttle goes into the fuel injector pump. Wrong! One injector was leaking. After 3 weeks of being down I put it to work today. Now 4 leak where the line connects to the injector. 2 originally before the hood went on. Maybe I need longer wrenched to tighten with. One thing truly leads to another doesn't it! I had planned to replace the worn out shifted levers soon as well as the seat and seat supension. Plus oil now leaking from the planetaries... hmm with the time it takes I may need to sell the cows!!
I've built a few engines and cars in my life. But diesels and tractors are new to me. I'd like to rebuild and repaint it over time. Guess we will see.
