The rest of the Canadian 1630 story

Posted by mikeinWA on May 14, 2005 at 16:14:09 from (207.118.9.116):

Inspired by the recent thread that called for a bit more followthrough when a fellow has asked a bunch of questions. I am the guy who asked a ton of questions about the Canadian tractors. Specifically the 1630. I had found one locally in Washington state. Buickandeere was kind enough to offer quite a bit of info, and a geography lesson as well.("The US is not the center of the universe") The archives where a great source of info as well. I searched 2240 (the US equivelant) and was schooled on other peoples comments regarding this model.

Anyway the update: I bought the tractor. (despite Hugh's comments to stay away)I was seduced by the size, the live pto, the hi/lo. It lasted about 5 hours and the pto clutches went south. The sump screen was so packed with material that I could barely coax it out of the machine. Then there were the posts to try to diagnose that problem. Here a gent from TX, a retired shop manager I believe chimed in with some great advice and I continued to update him on progress via email.

It is now in the shop for new clutches, I had to borrow a tilling rig from the neighbor, and it should be back on the farm mon/tue. For this headache I traded off a working tiller, 4x4 compact JD and a JD brush hog. Live and learn. Our produce operation is growing and we needed bigger equipment. I feel like I am reinventing the wheel this year. Thanks for all the help.
