Leaking wheel motor

<font color="red"> He he...I'll take a backup machine as long as it isn't 13 years old like this one. I think my next tractor will be a new one! </font>

Seems to me you've hit on the plan. As soon as your wheel motor is installed, you will have restored the backup machine to full function. Then, a trip to Tazewell and who knows? You may be equipped with a primary and a backup PT, and be the envy of all. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Sounds like a plan to me! I doubt I could get it "approved" however. It's hard enough to justify one tractor!

Well, I'll have to wait about 2 weeks on the replacement wheel motor. I could get it within a few days for about $30 more, but then I'm not going to be using the machine for the next two weeks, so might as well save that $30. I've put a fitting into the two open hoses, refilled the oil tank, changed the filter, bled the pump, and dumped some Zorbent on my oil slick (which I'll shovel out later). Should be good to sit there and wait for a couple weeks with no more mishaps.

Well Charlie, you might as well sell that old dog. I may be able to locate a buyer if the price is right. ME. I am looking for one right now. Robert
