730D Questions

I am going to look at a 730D NF with Pony. Guy says runs good but has rattle in clutch at idle and a guy who was looking at it before pulled up on shift lever when shifting and it is now stuck in 3rd. Any ideas on clutch problem and how expensive to fix. The shifter sounds to me like could be a fork off? How hard to repair transmission? Never had a pony before, not afraid of one but how hard is it to maintain? Only real job I'm looking at this for is running a 10x66 auger but I'm sure it will find other duties. Dad has 49 B which will run the auger but I think it works a little hard doing it. I have worked on Dad's B and my old iron is a 4520 and 4320. I think the 730 would be a fun tractor to get but don't want to spend a ton on repairs. Thanks for any input.

Neither will be hard to repair, & parts are easy to find. Worn fork, or out of align maybe shifter ball worn. Clutch just needs taken apart, rebuild the small parts. Oh there's money envolved but not like buying the farm.

The cluch maybe a few more bucks. Two many guys over the years pull the cluch lever back and leave back while off the tractor. Years of this and the drive discs bounce loose on the drive wearing out the splines both on the discs and the driveshaft. Dengler in Ohio sell a oversize drive to handle that proublem. If the driveshaft isn't warn to bad but the disc's are that is all that is neaned. If you don't mind the noise and it isn't warn too bad, forget it. It dosen't effect the driving of the tractor. We put new disc in the 630 this year, but that has a loader on it and is used everday for loader work since 1977. If you get off the tractor, even to open a gate, put it in nutrual and snap the cluch lever back in. As to the tyrany, the whole shifter caseing can be removed and the gears lined up to nutural. Put the gear shift lever in nurural and put the caseing back on. And you can go. You remove the back bolt on the fuel tank. Remove the two bolts where the steering cowling bolts to the shifter caseing. Grab the sreering wheel and lift up while someone sticks a 2x4 under the rear fual tank hole housing. Then remove the bolts around the base of the shifter caseing. And pick up the whole caseing. While the shifter caseing is off look at the spring at the end of the fork. JD sells this in a kit. If the ball is warn a good local machine shop can build up the ball. These parts are common to wear as it is way up and if oil has been low it doesn't splash up here. Again it takes years of this to wear. These parts are common cause to have the tractor jump out of gear. When you shift the spring keeps the ball in the shifters. When you shift. you think you are in gear because the lever is all the way in the slot. but because of wear on the ball or a weak spring, the shifters don't push the gear all the way over for the detents to lock fully. When done pull the shifter lever down the left side and as you enter the cross over slot you will feel a real loose nutural spot. Mark this spot with a pencel on center of the shifter lever on the shifter caseing. Then do the same on the right side againg finding the nutrual spot and mark that. Both sides should be the same distance from the outside of the shifter caseing. If it isn't, get a shop manual as the ajustmment is under a cover betind the flywheel.

Thanks Mike, just what I was looking for. I will be going to look at this one next week. I am also looking at a 60 and a G but am really leaning towards the 730. It is at a dealer so I am thinking about making him fix the tranny but will probably fix the clutch myself. The first thing will be to get a manual. Thanks

I should make that a litter clearer. I said the spring at the end of the shifter. Should have said, sping at the end of the shifting lever above the ball. Also I said oil doesn't splsp up to these parts. Should have said oil dosen't splase up around the ball on the at then end of the shifting lever. The spring is outside the shifting caseing and is subject to the weather. If there is any up and down movement in the lever, the spring is to weak to keep the ball in the shifting forks.
