Went up North of the Twin cities yesterday and bought this little gem. Needs some TLC, smokes really bad but I think maybe the injectors need to be gone though cause exhaust smells like unburned diesel and maybe hint of oil. At higher rpm sounds like it has a slight miss (sounds exactly like my super 88 diesel when I first start it). Doesn't have a hitch and the 3 pt arms are farmerized. This is first one I've seen in person but from pics I don't think I've ever seen one with a hitch? I do plan on getting manuals for it but I want to changed the oil in trans, hyd., and final drive. Pulled the stick by gear shift and its milkshake. So if someone could help me out with do these 3 share oil or are the separate? and what oil does it take? I also seen pipe plugs on the boxes on the ends of the axles, are these a separate from final drive with there own oil? Sorry for all the questions I don't plan on working on this tractor just yet, but would like to change out the milkshake oil before I put it in the corner of the shed next to the others that are waiting.

Nate give me a call or send me an e-mail. Also include the tractor serial number. J.

Here's what the drawbar looks like on them. I made one for mine.

Well,I've tried about ten times now to post a picture of the one I built,but this useless new setup on this forum won't let me do it. If you want to see it,send me an email and I'll email a picture to you.

Take the spaces out of the title of the image file you are trying to upload.

The moderator says on the Site Comments forum that there's nothing wrong with the picture I'm trying to post. It works there,it won't work here.

The one that I built for mine. Finally.

I had trouble posting pictures too but it worked today on my 77 hydraulic cover post. I included a picture of the ignition switch for you and John.

thanks for the photos Randy, I was wondering how they had that set-up cause I didn't see much for bolt holes under the final drive.

If you need pictures of how it's mounted underneath,let me know and I'll get a close up.
I should remake it where it hooks to the lift arms so it hooks with the lift in the up position. It didn't dawn on me until I was done with it that they did it that way to keep it from lifting if the load was heavy on the rear or if you were backing up with something.
Mine only lifts about an inch because it comes up against the irons that the three point pins go through,but it still could bend I suppose,if it was lifted on hard enough. I'll probably leave it the way it is since I just plan to show it and not use it,but if it was a user,I'd definitely change it.
