i alreads see a few parts that need work. ps pump is at a small angle. if ai can fix it without major hassle I will.. radiator hose rubs belt. that's a MUST fix.. and I belive the trans detent / spring for 3rd gear is worn.. I turned it in it's bore and it helped.. so will pull when i get some free time.

loose fender.. and a few odd things. otherwise she starts and runs as is.

what all is wrong with it

lets see:

I normally always rebuild the steering boxes to remove thrust and sector slop. no sector slop on this one and thust play is only about 1/8" so will leave it since it is a power steering box and i don't want to disturb the seals. when/if it ever starts leaking, I'll correct any thrust issues then.

lower rad hose is rotten, and already sporting a pvc patch.. might be in a place a lower hose heater was.. ps belt is also rubbing on inside of hose in 1 spot.. so will have to ri-jigger the hose routing a lil when i get a new hose.. probably zip tie or clamp the hose an inch out to a frame member to keep it off the belt.

ps pump is not loose but is mounted at a coule degree angle. nothing bad.. but if it's not alot of hassle.. I will attempt to get it in perfect alignment. it's obvious it has ran this way a long time with no issues... will at least look at it though.

left floor board is bent into a slight arch from hitting a stump? will fix that.

tires are good.

starts up real easy.

has a dash mounted starter button, will likely convert back over to the safety button / replace that old non working trans top button.

one fender is a hair loose.. needs tightening.

3pt check chains are not hooked up.. will correct and see about a stabilizer addition.. may be complicated by lower loader mounts though.

will liekly load the rears.. might swap tires.. just not sure.. if it keeps the turfs they will get loaded though.

will be building a 3pt counter-weight tub for it as well.


various hyd hoses are in need of replacement. some worse than others.

so immediate repair items:

rad hose, floor board, look at pump, hyd hoses, fender, 3pt check chains.

everything else falls under maintenance, and cleaning and cosmetic.

Put me down for 4PM Friday. :laughing:

Not making fun, just impressed by your speed and skill SG. I wish I had either one. One of these days I am going to refurb my 861. It still has to work right now though.

fortunately I have time on this one. i have to probably only put out another 3 bales of hay by the time grass grows. i likely won't disassemble anything and leave her useable as is til the last rounder is put out. then i got till september or so to get her in good condition.
