I talked to the original owner today. He was very upfront on all the questions I asked. Oil changed every 300 hours. The front axle input shaft and bearings were replaced a while back. It was mainly his bailing tractor the last few years. He upgraded to a T8.300 and traded this one in as it was his oldest tracctor.
On the transmission it was a shaft inside that went and they opted for a reman from CNH. The brakes were done at that time. A few hundred hours later it had to go in again for the reman transmission he stated it needed shimming. Seems strange that a reman would have problems.

If an engine problem arises I can put in a reman here on the farm for around 8k.

It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
