clutch

[Soundguy]

a 640 then.. early-ish 1955

4 spd tranny.. tall 1st grar.. single palte clutch

non live pto

get an orc for it to mow with.. throttle down when backing up

you COULD get a sherman combo or under drive tranny.. but it will be great expense, and not help much..

was thinking about buying a 5 sp from e bay will this give me what im looking for? also i was showing my son the tractor today he found that it was leaking oil at the rear of the engine could that be a rear main seal? as i was showing it to my son he started it and i had the 3ph un hook (nothing on it) and the lift raised all the way up is that a good or bad thing? i was also told that i need to replace a o ring for the lift is it a hard job?

man you are all over on this thing.

1, yes.. you COULD swap in a tranny from a 660 or 860.. however the cost and what not.. it'd be better to sell this tractor and just BUY the one you want.

a leak at the rear of hte engine/front of the trans can be rear main or tranny input shaft seal.


if you start the tractor and the lift comes up and the 3pt control is not lifted.. then the unlaod valve is sticking.

you may or may not need a new oring for the lift piston.

with a load on the lift how long will it hold the laod up after you shut the tractor down? if it drops like a rock.. or drops in a few seconds.. sure.. proabbly needs it.

if it holds it up for 5m? that's ok for a workign tractor.. if an hour? that's bragging. if longer? like new...

yea i know wasn't planning on doing that much looking untill i had the book for it was thinking about a 5 sp swap but i just foundout what a dual clutch costs i know a guy wit a 135 massy i miht try and trade him if it is what i want.only reason is that my son pulled the lift lever up all the way as it was not any thing on it so i took and stood on the arms it whent down with just my weight i only weigh 180

the mor einfo you provide.. at one time, the easier it will be to diagnose this machine, at a distance for you.

giving me 1 disjointed sentence every few posts is most confusing.

does the lift go up and down with the lift lever?

does it do it under load?

does the 3pt lever stay up when you let go of it or does it drop?

if the lever stays up.. does the lift stay up, under load, tractor off?

how long?

the lif goes up with the lever not sure about down. the lift does not work wile under load . the lever stays in place it moves with resistance.

find out about the down issue.

if the lift does not work under load.. time to see if it is leaking out of the cyl mouth.. if so, time to rebuild the top cover.

one thing id like to add is that i took the fillbung off wile i was running the tractor i couldn't see anything but i could here fluid gurgling. i have all ready made the decision to go through the lift after i found that the arms that are in the top thing are floping around so i thought id just fix this thing once and for all.

flopping around?

that should be able to move up freely.. they are not hard coupled to the lift piston...

they are moving side to side i think it will need a bushing or somthing
