Guys please bear with me but I am really new to this so I hope this is not too trivial for you gentlemen
1. I believe I found the hole for the cotter key, It is under the tractor on bell housing. It is a circular hole about 1/4 of an inch in diameter.. I put a tooth pick to see it it was clogged and all seemed okay... Do I have it right? Did a little brush hogging just to get the feel of things and all seemed well. Put it back in my garage and no leaks on floor anywhere. guess my first tractor is pretty good.
2. All gauges work.. oil pressure is 40, temperature is 170 and ammeter needle is a few lines past center while operating which is about 10, My concern is the tractormeter. It does nothing. Is there a way to troubleshoot it ? seems to be the original one. ( Tractor is a 1955 TO35 deluxe.) Or should I just opt for a tachometer and hour gauge?
