Something unusual happened today...

Both of the lift arms came right off! Usually they are stuck tight and I give up, but they slid right off this TO35. There is some play in the rockshaft so I am going to replace the bushings.

That is unusual. Just check your cross-shaft, Sometimes they are well worn and bushes alone do no take the wear away. A new shaft will take up some of the wear in the splines that may be the reason that they came off so easy!

Lucky you... or was it the 35 below windchill?? And which tractor is this? and interesting point in a project, please tell us more... unless it involves a Standard 23 C....
 
This is the 35 I got the summer of 2011 with a broken oil pump. So far I have put in a oil pump rebuild kit, had the cranked turned and put in new bearings. The head has been in for new valves/guides and the power steering box needed a new rack. About three weeks ago I finally test started it and it ran really nice with oil pressure at a steady 35 psi. Power steering seemed to work nicely as well. I had filled the cooling system with hot water prior to starting it so after running it for about 20 minutes it was pretty warmed up. Now I need to re torque the head and start assembling the dash and wiring. The hydraulics did work but it needs some adjustments so I am pulling the top cover to do that plus clean things out. This has tuned into a long term project but I think it will be a nice worker when done.

Yes, I will have to see what the shaft looks like when I pull it out. I am waiting for a warmer, less windy day to do that as I need to open the garage door to get the lift in place to pull the top cover.

After rebuild wth great oil pressure and your doing the lift plus the power steering is now in good shape,gees I guess the clutch or something must be bad.U got all the luck!!
