Posted by traxtor on March 19, 2023 at 19:24:32 from (38.22.132.74):

Wrapping up my inflame engine rebuild, and started to
get things ready for tank reinstall and roll out of barn.
Went to re-engage traction coupling which was not
latched and could be rotated by hand CW until it stopped
and CCW a full revolution. Note tractor sat for 6 years in
barn motor not running not related to transmission. Since
Ive had it 2007 or so, no issues other than selector did
not line up well with speed number. Tractor will roll and I
pulled it a short distance into barn to do engine work. I
believe traction coupling was properly disengaged.

While getting ready today, I also found the selecto lever
on dash wont move. I have also noticed while running
engine after rebuild that there is a steady seep of fluid
leaking out of SOS top cover.

I have the IT FO-13 manual. Read through that on SOS,
man a lot of info there.

Not sure where to start. My plan when I saw fluid was to
remove top cover and check gasket, but after catching
the traction coupling adjustment as it is I thought Id
remove that inspection plate to look see. After reading
through the manual I decided I needed to research a little
more before starting to pull things apart. I believe tractor
is a 1962 971-5 #160625 gasser. Machine has not been
worked much by me, original owners bought it almost
brand new and last part of its life with then was lived as a
loader machine for manure. Loader is strong and not
powered by a front end PTO drive pump.

Regret such a long description-and thanks fir any insight.
I rebuilt it with the plan for my son to have a reliable
loader tractor at his place. Itll never see 100 hours per
year.

Thanks-
