A couple years back I bought a IH 100 in rough shape. Its all there, just solid rust. I have no had time to do anything with it until now but I'd like to get started on it over the winter.
The U joints in the PTO shaft are froze up so I know they'll need to be replaced, also needs a belt and idler pully but I know those are readily available. The drive pulley and wobble box both turn freely, doesn't really seem like there's much play in the wobble box. All I see under the caps on the box is cobwebs.
I'm just wondering where to begin with the wobble box? If at all possible I'd like to not have to dig into the it, I hear they're fairly complicated. Should I soak the whole box in kerosene or solvent to get the old dried up grease loosened up and cleaned out or would that cause more harm than good to the old bearings?
Here it is the day I bought it. $90 was all I paid so if it turns out to be scrap I did ok.
