More tractors broke @$&$*%£#%

[propane1]

Son was using the MF 16 and was quitting. He found out the connector on the key switch was melted and switch looked bad. So. On the search for that soon.

Jumpins. Ford YT16H hydro no forward motion, next, Case 224 deck rusted and broke. Next MF 7 had belt and motor troubles. Belt troubles maybe fixed. And the spare lawn tractor cutter yardworks has a filled up flywheel and head from mice. Had it out the other day, and worked great. But got hot. So have to clean that out.

Jumpins. Never normally have so many tractors out of commission. Gettin low on tractors to cut grass.



Any way. No ramble lately. So there ya go.

It sure is aggravating to have tractors down. Your gonna have to line them up and run them through the shop!
I’m curious to know what happened to your Ford.

Me too JSinMO. Another week or so before we can get it on the hoist to look. Thanks.

If you never used them they would never break. They might not start but they wouldn't be broken.

That’s a great point Tim. But then we’d have nothin to ramble about.

When ever a hydro will go one direction but not the other is a control linkage problem 95% of the time . But always check fluid level and condition first.

It growls when trying to go forward Dave. So I thing the linkage is good. But will find out when I get a look at it.

Belt problems for me! Broke the belt on my 444 mower on Saturday then yesterday my old CC mower belt streched so bad it kept coming off. Ordered two new belts this morning. Like someone mentioned, life when your working with older equipment.
Assembled my new hydraulic hoses on the 646 3-pt lift cylinder working good now.
I got some seat time on the 644lbh yesterday. Moving dirt from the backyard project and dug a longer trench to bury rocks in from the project.

Keep the Peace
