Traner TR45/ FLand FR45

[D'oh]

Anyone have any info? Good/Bad, Originating Manufacture. Pin Head is Threaded, is it Bored for Grease Fitting?

Any Mods needed?

These machines are being dumped on the market all over the world under various brand names and price points.
From what I can see there doesn't appear to be any zerks on the Z-bar, lift arms, hydraulic cylinders, and steering pivot, but it looks like the pins may be drilled for them. But I do see zerks on the drive shaft and U-joints.
I'll reserve any comments on fit/finish, quality of build, and machine longevity.

I bought one. Can’t find a manual anywhere. Make sure you go over all the bolts and fittings. Most of them were loose. I still need to adjust the clutch. Anyone else have one so we can pick each others brains. Thanks Bob

Congrats SignScape!

It's a neat Machine. Has some benefits over my Stand On, but also some draw backs.

Check all fluid levels. My Diffs and Transmission didn't have any.

The Valve Covers need to be swapped sides so you can add engine oil. Change it too quickly, it is oil but not engine oil.

The Fittings were in the Tool Kit. No issues there, just need to install them.

Added R Clips instead of Cotter Pins in all the Pins.

I recommend removing the Floor Pan, and Looming all the Hoses under there, some very tight/close hoses at the Articulating Section. They will rub through eventually.

Wiring is very sloppy, Wires patched in and taped, no solder or crimps. Clean that up while the Floor Pan is off.

Upper Key Switch is just a Accessory Switch. I plan to run the Engine to it, but will need to add a longer Choke Cable at the same time.

Any idea how the clutch adjustment is done. Mine is slipping. Did you get a manual with yours. What fittings are you talking about? I didn’t get a toolbox.

I received a Tool Envelope, Grease Gun that you can't get cartridges for, a couple of wrenches and a bag of Grease Nipples.

I honestly think the Clutch is the weak spot, that and it is geared WAY too High. It just has fingers and a Throw Out Bearing, if the Through Out Bearing isn't riding the fingers, then you have an issue with the whole Pulley.

Do you have any play in the clutch pedal when it’s not depress?

 

[D'oh]

I do have a space between the Throw Out Bearing and Fingers

Okay then that’s the problem. I have none. Thinking an 1/8” will do it. Thanks for all the help. Been searching for days. Got more info here in the last 24 hours than anywhere else. I have other mods I’m going to do. I’ll post them as I do them. Thank you so much!
