In an earlier post, thanks from the help of the board I was able to identify my tractor as a 230.
I have since purchased the manuals for it.
I have also decided to tear it down the farthest I can without splitting it up and the sandblasting everything that will fit in my cabinet and wiring wheeling the rest and paint it.
One of the first repairs I will have to do is replace the rear axle gaskets and seals. It is leaking on the left side at the axle/differential gasket. I guess I should replace both sides while I have it torn down. I wanted to remove the trans cover to inspect it and replace the gasket and clean everything up good. This will also give me access to remove the axles.
I am wanting to start at the rear and work my way forward with gaskets and seals.
The engine rear seal seems to be holding up, but that might be a different story once I get it running.
Also the exhaust manifold has a rust hole, so that will need to be replaced.
About where I am at with it.
