Goodluck. I hope the issue is a simple one

From the way you're describing this, kindly have a look at the drawing from my L35 (also with Shuttle shift) Do you think that the circled part (universal joint) has broken or come loose? Also look at part 060 the spring. The spring in your picture doesn't look OEM. Thoughts? Also notice part...

One of the most difficult things during my restoration was finding a radiator. Prices are ridiculous for radiators and you're right - nothing special sometimes. Same goes for mufflers. I finally decided that I could find a replacement if I focused on size and input/output. I ended up purchasing...

You obviously take good care of your tractor. I would also recommend checking the temp with an infrared sensor or similar before ripping things apart. Only other things I can think of is the fan belt slipping or something wrong with the water pump.

Well, maybe I am using the wrong term. The cab is held to the tractor with what I am calling a subframe. On the left side and right side there are large angle brackets that mount to the transmission and support the cab on rubber mounts. I have replaced the left side cab support (retaining the...

Hi All, I thought since the machine was already down, I'd pull the injectors for a cleaning and see if I could locate the slight diesel leak. As expected, the injectors were pretty dirty and the leak was a cracked fuel return. I also had a bad glow plug so I carefully removed it (tried to) and...

Here is the rest of the body/frame work. As you saw from the horrible rust on the left-hand side, the subframe was bad and there was no longer a step up to the cab. I've definitely grown tired of hopping up into the cab from ground level. Here is a new subframe to replace the rusted out section...

I have those same cheater pipes! One I have is about 4 feet long for hydraulic cylinders (and moving mountains).

Good thread all! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences. In my other thread about "Kubota Body Work and Restoration", member Fried1765 provided a rust treatment he likes. I'd never heard of it but here's some info on it as well as other products. I'm sure we all could go on...

I know - you'd think it was sunk in the Laurentian Abyssal along with Red October! I never head of OSPHO but I will post it in my other thread about "Tools and Products" - thank you. There's another product called Corroseal I've used that works pretty good too, Both products convert rust using...

I'm close to completing a darn nasty job and thought I'd share a few pics. My poor old TLB has a lot of rust that I've been addressing, as you saw in my other posts. While I was repairing the GST shift mechanism, it occurred to me that the frame to which it mounts was junk. So off to the metal...

I checked out the tite-reach.com website as recommended and that is so cool. I've only needed that tool about 1000 times. Thanks for this! I've also purchased some Fluid Film to try. My tractor has places that I'm unable to clean and paint such as inside of the structural tubing or areas...

My first thought was a product such as this: https://www.amazon.com/MULTI-SEAL-HYDRO-1500-Ballast-Filled/dp/B07PYMGGJC But then, although this may work just fine, you wouldn't have any idea of the actual wheel condition. Since it's the wheel and not the tire that's leaking, it might be best to...

On the PB Blaster comments (blasting everywhere) - so right! Apparently PB has gotten the message because if you look at the newest can style (see my pic) they've added an adjustable spray control to the can that really works. I've not tried Kroil or Deep Creep - on my list to try now. I like...

Good point about the tire goosh. I went back and forth on this but decided to go with it anyway. I've used similar in motorcycle tires and always warn the tire place so they are not surprised.

Hi I listened to the sounds over and over and I can't draw a confident conclusion. I had a couple of questions since it seemed intermittent. 1) does the sound go away when hot (is it only there when cold?) 2) Have you disconnected any spinning items such as water pump, alternator looking for a...

Hi All- I thought I would post some tools I use in my travels with motorcycle restoration and my tractor. I believe tools are an investment and having the right tool for the job saves time and frustration! Have you ever made your own tool? I have and although they were not pretty with shiny...

Very possible. Things were quite rusted as I began the work but I never saw any remnants of a grease fitting. I utilized electrolysis for a lot of the small parts to remove the rust.

Here is my 2 cents: If you've never opened the gear shift mechanism it might be worth inspecting the cables. There is never a good time for these to break. Removing the assembly is pretty easy and the shifter knob unscrews from the shaft. I don't know if the long bolts and their spacers holding...

Thank you! I love the 8N. I go to a lot of tractor shows and 8Ns are always around and looking fabulous! Paint and such is a lot of work - but I like the looks when I'm done. Believe me - never a dull moment around here!
