I've been enjoying the forums for a bit over a week now. I made a deal with my neighbor for a TO-30 with a grader blade and brush hog. He let me have the tractor last week. It's a 12v conversion, so my first drill was a new battery, a new hold down and new cables. Clean the air intake,service the oil bath and grease it all over. The tractors oils are like new and someone's rebuilt the 129 as it's very quiet, pulls great and pops off on the first round.
The leveling box was frozen, but now freed. Either the pinion shaft or fork is worn. I'll take comments on the replacement leveling box here on the parts list. The left lift arm has been welded top and bottom so it will need replaced sometime.
Tonight I got the blade hooked up. My first order of work was to start ditching the driveway.
I'll post a few pics for all to see.
