New to me 2135 questions

Grandfatherjim · May 18, 2016

Will be picking up a 64 2135 with the 3-152 Perkins on the weekend, and hoping you folks can help me with a few things.
I already own a TO-35 (gas) so have that much familiarity.
First off, the front spindles are fairly loose. If the spindles themselves aren't worn, can I replace the bushes without reaming?
Also, is this loader a model 100? Not much of a picture I know.
Finally, can you advise on known weak areas/first things I should do? My goal is a bunch of backfilling and landscaping around a house we're building.

You have to ream them after installing the bushings (I have a 1965 2135 gas industrial, and had to do that to mine). My spindle were worn, but rather than replace them I built then back up with a welder, and re-machined them. Also look at the front axle pivot, they usually never get greased. You should have the Big Dean files in you email, they are big files so I had to divide them up into 3 zip files, so you should have 3 emails.

You can look up parts also at http://agcopartsbooks.com/PartsBooksN/Viewer/ log in a guest user, then search the model number on the next page.

Thanks yes; I have received the emails and downloaded the zips. Will take a look at them a bit later on - much appreciated.
