I read several pages of this forum, encountered thoughtful well expressed answers to others problems, and decided to join up.
Below are my two newest toys neither of which runs at the moment. Ferguson is first as it has far fewer problems, and parts to be purchased to make it run. The Corn Binder will be a career move... ;~)
The situation:
New to tractors, new the their terminology, not sure just how they operate, but there is time to learn before this old girl fires up. It has been sitting in a garage since 2000 along with the green 1967 1200B IH pickup behind it. Tractor engine was lightly stuck, now rolling over, fuel system 100% gunked & varnished up the usual barn find mess. Engine hour clock shows 408 hours.
Now to the questions:
First, Fan belt needs to be replaced, it is trapped by a universal joint the joins crank shaft end to hydraulic pump drive that operates the front bucket.
To remove belt would one slide pump forward enough to disconnect U joint from crank end to allow for belt R&R, or is there more to the project?
Second, previous owner mounted a cut down 55 gallon drum to hold rocks for ballast. It is parched on draw bar utilizing a square of ply wood which barrel sits, and a length of 1/2 inch threaded rod that came in contact with a bolted cover of sorts at the back side of differential that has a square spot for a wrench. Said rod has chafed through the cast cover exposing whatever it is covering; I assume a rotating shaft or PTO... See photos below:
[i:8a8bd19490]Terminology black hole here, sorry, all I have at the moment is a 1963 TO35 owner's manual at hand that came with tractor; now that I know what I have I'll be ordering a factory service manual. [/i:8a8bd19490]
Is this part available for replacement, and will small hole cause oil loss? Current quick fix is to fill with JB Weld.
Lastly, which distributor would this be?
