Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Im thinking your talking about the ones that bolt the gear halves together in the rear end. On my 648 and 446 I just inspected them and made sure they were tight.

Happy Easter every one, especially you guys with little ones. Brings back fond memories.

Rear transaxle oil if not already done . Good thinking Dave, just put that on the list. I think I read someplace there's a bolt that should be upgraded to a stronger grade.

Well I warmed up the GT today and drove it around and raised and lowered the plow blade numerous times and no strange sounds or major leakage. It's been quite some time since I last used it to move snow when the hydraulics were making a squealing noise and then I just remembered that the oil level w...

Belated Happy Birthday MattA

The level is correct for that tank . What oil are you running ? Is there any foaming in the oil when running ? Dave, the oil used is Castrol edge 5w50 synthetic. I'll check tomorrow if it's foaming. Good question, never thought about that thanks. I did notice when I flushed the tank that there was ...
