Hello. I have a T5C that was re-powered with a Honda V-twin by the PO. It worked pretty well when last used, with the exception of a leaky seal that allows one strut to drop after retraction (locks down fine when extended). The "when last used" is my current issue, the tractor has been sitting outdoors for quite a while. I'm looking to develop a check list of items that should be evaluated before I tow it to the remote location where I need to use it. I'm guessing the potential steering box water infiltration issue should be near the top of that list because of outdoor exposure. What other major items would you suggest? Also, the rear tires are pretty well dry rotted and will need to be replaced. I looked at 9.5-16 R1 ag tires and was shocked at the prices (even the "discount" brands). Has anyone used an alternate style/tread 16" tire on this tractor with any success? Thanks for the benefit of your experience!
