Jet Star 3 Questions

Just bought an odd Jetstar 3. I has the nonadjustable wide front, NO torque and some kind of auxiliary pump where the belt-pulley delete should be.

Is this a 'kit' tractor or perhaps a highway department one?

Ha! That would make it much more valuable! I can get the loader for it, but it doesn"t have any controls and the mounting has been modified, so I don"t know how well that would work......

Thanks!

Good chance it is a old state highway tractor,where are you located? There were quiet a few of them here in NY that the state DOT had.
 
Here are three pictures of this poor old girl. Need to get here home and into the shop for some much needed TLC...

The hydraulic pump by the PTO is pretty standard. The other pump is something I haven't seen before. It seems she is an Industrial model.
 
Most Certainly a JS3 Industrial. Aux Hyd Pump was optional in location of PTO, however, I haven't seen with regular Hyd. Pump at same time! one or the other! Are both functional?

That is the question! I need to get her running before I'll know. She spent too many years outside and has water in the oil. Probably stuck as well.

So many projects, so little time......

It looks to me but its hard to tell in the picture there is a lever on the left side of it for a reverser. That would explain why it does not have a torque.
 
Marty,
From the paint remnants on the chassis it would appear to be an industrial. Can you post the serial number so we can verify? Industrials had grey painted castings and yellow sheet metal - no brown paint. Nice find!

I have a jet star with that same pump setup. The pump on the back runs the power steering and 3pt. The aux. pump on the side runs my loader. fluid reservoir is in the loader frame. Two separate systems.
 
Ken,
The MMCI paint committee lists it as metallic grey. Apparently equipmentcolor.com has a code for it. I've seen pictures of it on tractors (JS3 Ind) but can't find them right now.
