first overhaul a success

Posted by karl f on October 29, 2003 at 19:59:38 from (67.73.182.124):

undertook overhauling our primary tractor a 656 gas. took some time and a lot of questions, but it's together now and sounds real good. 5860 original hours, not bad huh?
i half wish i could have had a "practice" tractor first, but so far it seems that i didn't mess it up :)
for the first timer i wouldnt recommend anything physically larger than a 656, since it almost is too big for readily available and affordable automotive type lifting equipment. (i swear i heard the 1250 lb. engine stand groaning in pain)
also if you have parts such as a head laying around, make sure to seal them off so the critters can't pack corn into the crevices!
the only potential problem i see is that the crank case still has a condensation problem--there is a small amound of white film on the stick and coating the filler neck. maybe i have a hairline somewhere? outside temp was 30ish F, and tractor came out of a 50+F shed
avoiding the temptation to work it hard..
