B7500 hst

[85Hokie]

Guys,

the AG guys next door received a B7500 from a local dealer last year. A local college had it with a sweeper on the front of it. IT HAS been abused to the point of I am surprised it runs. Every bolt on the frame was loose!

They had to replace a few hoses, engine runs fine.

HOWEVER - as soon as the clutch is released - there is a god-awful squeal and grinding noise, and even with the clutch pushed back the noise is still there.

this machine had ZERO oil in the hydraulic system when received - screen cleaned, filters changed and S-udt2 placed in it, the 3 point came up with the engine cranked......

so go ahead and tell me what to tell them....... it has NEVER moved under its own power while here at school.

I take it - splitting the tractor is the first order of business? AND what would you think to find, making that awful sound?

thanks for any tips!

When you get inside you'll probably find something not quite this bad.

Just tear into it and replace clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, pilot bearing after a good inspection. Probably will not have to remove the flywheel, but if you do be sure to scribe a mark on the outside edge and one on the block so you know what position to return to without a fight!
