Went and looked at a 1977 4230 today with
3000 hours showing on the clock. The current
owner believes the hours are accurate.
Condition of the tractor overall lends
itself to believing it. The tractor will
jump out of 3rd and 4th gear when going down
the road. It won't do it under a load but
rather when you coast or a load starts to
push you. The owner split the tractor and
pulled the top shaft last fall and had the
shaft rebuilt by the local stealer. Upon
reassembly it still does it. What could I be
in for? I think it's priced accordingly.
What can I look at to confirm what you guys
think the problem is?
Thanks
