John Deere 317 project!

[Brockwaykid]

Took it for another 10 min run today, had to put it back together, got the seat on, im way too tall,my legs hit the wheel, and i dont know whats up with the seat brackets. It runs very good and drives as well as it runs!! Adjusted the throttle and now that stays, the choke is junk. Oh well. Got the pto switch to work too!

Okay, took the trans filter off today, drained the trans and axle, had ATF in it.... And also started to remove everything from the dash/console. Got the plastic dash off, along w/the wheel and all the switches!! Have to take the ignition switch out and maybe a few other things, and unbolt the 4 bolts and take it off!! Then later this week start to paint! No pics yet, sorry for the wait, I'll get them on as soon as i can!! Hopefully getting the last little bit of stuff i need for the time being tomorrow from JD.....

Well, I got the console off today, took everything else apart inside there that i needed to, and cleaned the back rims up. Also, did not get my parts today. I went ahead and started painting the dash piece, and other things, the knobs turned out great, and so did the seat washers, they were pretty bad. I might have put a bit too much paint on the dash panel though...

Okay, today I figured out that the left rear has no shoes at all, and got what I needed faxed over to the dealer. Also got some more stuff painted, and 'm in the process of finding a tach/hour meter in one that will fit in the dash.... I dont need an ammeter at all?? I have to do a tiny bit more sanding on the fenders, and they should be ready for paint. Also straightened the grille out a little, but it is still about as straight as a snake. I think its one of those "snap in" deals, when it snaps in its straight, I guess I'll find that out later, and finally, I took the pto pulley off, and I think it, and the whole clutch system need new bearings, but I wont bother for now.....
