Hi all,
I am new here. I am hopeful that someone can help me. For a few years my tractor has been throttling itself down. I understand that it will do this a bit when it warms up, but this is different. it has gotten progressively worse. I have cleaned and lubricated the linkage that is in the engine bay. no change. I tried to take off the right hand green shroud but it seems nearly impossible. When I got to a bolt near the Fusebox, it just turned but never came out. I just had a thought, is it accessible from below ? Has anyone else had this issue ? The 3120/3320/3520 are all similar as far as I can tell.
I also have a 447 backhoe which has considerable play in the pins. Especially all of the joints in the bucket area. I grease it a lot, but I did buy it used and didn't know to check this. It looks like the bushings are not replaceable. Will replacing the pins help at all? What does everyone do ? Do people get them bored at a machine shop and have oversized pins installed ? I am guessing this would be very expensive. Thanks so much in advance .
Jim
