I'd bought the neighbors 7520 John Deere earlier this year with the intent to pair it with my crust buster disk, but now I'm not
sure what to do. He had retired two years ago, and this tractor has sat since then. I had to put great deal of time and a
considerable expense into it to just get it to start again, and now the transmission has issues. The verdict I got was that it
would need a new top shaft with shift synchros and a pto clutch. The motor has taken to using oil, and isn't that easy to
start. So I'm sitting on the decision of what to do. What would you fellas do? Is there a decent market for salvage parts? I
don't think its worth it to rebuild back end of machine. It can be started and drove, but only in low range with no reverse. The
tires are 18.4-34's matching all the way around with duals. The cab is nice, as is all the sheet metal. No fenders on it. I'm
just not sure what the best way to proceed is. What do you think? Thanks
