1900 hard hours my bs 23 finally broke .i have been so hard on this tractor over last 10 plus years everyone including myself are just amazed of its toughness .ive always serviced it by the book but I've asked way more than what it's made for.
So hauling gravel down a road low gear driving slow and all of a sudden a wicked grinding noise .i stopped immediately backed up and I saw a streak of oil .shut her down got off and oils pouring out of the tranny!
Jacked her up when you turn one tire the other don't rotate the opposite(or at all) way and spins way to easy started it up after checking if any oil in it and no leaks???? But when you try to move her it sometimes grinds
My initial guess broke ring gear,or axle,or differential lock ?
Towed home in neutral, drove it on trailer and unloaded under her own power at dealer
I gotta fix it but wifey says it don't owe us anything and I should get a bigger tractor.
Geez I hate to give up my cab my hoe my bush hog is only 4 ft my blowers only 54 what a decision I have sat on the b 3350 tonight I like the size same width as my blower(guess I could make wings for it) the L felt too big for what I do I think holy cow by the time I buy the 3350 buy a hoe I'm in it for a lot of dough! Thinking keep 23 buy the 3350 with farmi winch call it good gosh my heads going mile a minute
Keep ya all posted what they find
