But thinking upon it I can’t imagine parts impossible to get. All what can go wrong with most automatics are the seals, “O” rings, and clutch plates. “O” rings are easy enough although I suggest replacements be schedule 80. Available only not likely local hardware store. Seals can be ordered form a supplier like Applied Technologies. The clutches and discs may have to be matched at the local neighborhood parts with other Ford motor company parts, say for Ford to Lincoln transmission parts. (I’m long shot guessing on this last part. But I'm betting they used common parts if even if not widely known so).<br> But then again Chevy clutch plates and discs are good replacements inside an Oliver Hydra Drive or Over/Under Drive. <br> Hell of a good looking tractor. Add a finish mower and your new and bigger estate’s lawn care is assured.

It will keep him busy for sure. I wish Ian would take an interest in things like that sometimes...but he is still working too much for a lot of time to do something like that...maybe we will slow down a bit later in our life and he can take up things like that. He tried the garden this summer, with some good results, but the grass and weeds just dominated his efforts in the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
