1973 885 diesel, Rustoleum special. I've owned this for almost thirty years and it just turned over 5,700 hrs, yesterday.

I'm confused by what you mean by engine speed and ground speed. On my tractor I can engage the pto lever when the clutch is fully pressed in. I usually lower the rpm's to idle before doing this but there's no grinding or resistance at all on the lever.

This might be a stupid question but since you didn't mention it at all in your post, is there a separate power steering pump for this unit and is it full? It might have all leaked out when you had the cylinder disconnected.

Keep us updated on this thread. I'd like to know how it goes.

If you can find a schematic of the cylinder online I would think you could do it yourself. Not sure about getting the seals you'd need though. What's the worst that could happen? You might have to reassemble it and take it to a shop.

I fill up my five gallon plastic pails with lids and when they're full take them to the local recycling center (dump). They give me the same amount of pails that are empty and then they pour them into a big tank. I don't even have to get my hands dirty.

A little bigger than mine but I've had the old girl for over twenty years now and other than a change of clutch which I did myself, it's been a dependable tractor. Over 5,500 hrs on it now. Good strong English tractor.

Mine is kept in the old workshop/garage that was here when we moved in 25 years ago.

Got these a few years ago from my kids for Christmas. :laughing:

This is the only way to get wood as far as I'm concerned.

Full woodshed. Mostly oak cut a year in advance.

A bucket of oak headed to the basement.

Just want to formally say hello to all the wonderful people here. I've been looking on and off at this website for a couple of years and got around to joining a month ago. I've been invited by management to write about my David Brown and will do so some weekend when I have more time but for now...
