'nuther 1086- T-vet, Jake F, etc.

Posted by P Backus on October 04, 2006 at 11:00:29 from (69.128.32.37):

I looked at a another 1086 yesterday. This one wasn"t quite as
purdy as the other one, but I was actually fairly impressed with
it.
7200 hrs.
serial #31149 (1978)
$7500
digital tach that didn"t work (why digital on a "78?)
No noises in gears, rear end, motor that I could hear. I even rode
around on the drawbar, per your suggestion.
A/C didn"t work (I"d be fixing that before spring)
Everything else seemed to work fine-
steering/front end nice and tight.
T/A worked fine.
PTOs turned (no load).
Wider, newer cab steps.
Concerns:
trans oil pressure (hyd?) light on dash was on fairly often (of
course when clutch is down and when shifting T/A, but also at
slow idle when warm). Does that mean pump is failing? Do you
have to split tractor to replace?
Small engine oil leak near back- could be rear main, but seemed
more external than coming out of clutch housing.
Rear radial tires were worn kind of funny, like worn at an angle,
like a car with the front end out of alignment. Didn"t see any
wobble or bent rim, etc. when I was riding on drawbar.
It seemed more like a good honest working tractor with some
details to be fixed. Not as many red flags as a "we just got done
fixing this thing up and want to dump it before you discover the
real problem" type of tractor. Seems like there might be
something there to work with.
Dunno. What d"ya think?
