Having been searching for a small cheap tractor with loader to make use of round "the farm" (Not a farm, just fields and horses) I eventually found this locally. It came with a spare rear end and miscellaneous bits from a donor, which are proving handy. It is theoretically operational, but is in need of some overhauling. It was kept outside by its previous owner, which hasn't done it much good, but hasn't yet killed it. This is actually my first tractor, so it's a lot of fun!
The loader is a Lews Agri one, and the hydraulics are a real bodge.
Having been sat outside the bucket needs a bit of patching
It's got an unusal arrangement of single curl cylinder and single acting lifts, so it can't dig but doens't ned a float spool in order to scrape.
This is the tank connection for the loader spool valves. Not good. Even worse now I disturbed it changing the waterlogged oil and it lets oil spew everywhere.
Feed for the loader spool valves
It had supposedly been servoced recently when I bought it, but the transmission oil barely registered on the dipstick and was badly emulsified from standing outside with poor sealing everywhere, so I changed the fluid and suction filter.
The fuel filter was also missing and the bowl harbouring some lovely weetabix.
I also took the chance to replace the broken tacho cable, which was a lot less accessible than I thought when I started the job!
