I'm having trouble using the left brake independently on this tractor. (I do have the brake pedal locking latch flipped up and out of the way!)
Looking from underneath, the left brake pedal can only travel a little way before the bit that is on the rightmost end of the cross shaft seems to lock...
Thanks for all your investigative work. I'll have this thing home someday. At this point it's hard to say whether I'll smiling or sobbing. At the moment, I'm just nervous because I paid $5500 for a mystery that'll run and work I think. Rear tires and some hoses look original, so that's not so...
Here's the serial number tag. Actually, no serial number, just a long model number. No clue if that's the norm or not. Also, this tractor has a decal on it indicating that it was sold by a company in the Province of Quebec.
I hope the patron saint of the ignorant was looking over my shoulder...
