OK, so I pulled the trigger, a grand less than I expected. The lights even worked and I was sold. Have not gotten the Owners and Service Manuals but they come with the tractor. Tractor is clean and paint is bright, appears to have been stored under cover. New on a potato farm and was only used on a potato digger the last 5 years. No caked on manure! Left brake sticks down, you have to pry it up with your toe. I am presuming that if I take the front panel off I will find the brake assembly, and am hoping is is just in need of lubrication? The brake pedals are not bent of damaged in any way, just the inside one sticks....they both work. Parking brake light does not work. The clutch is at the high end, but I could not get it to slip in H4 with the brakes on. I am hoping it is just in need of adjustment? There was a hum in high range when starting out, seemed to be in all gears? PTO lever was in the forward position and I was told it worked properly. It has the thrust bearing bra installed. Slight oil leak at one bolt holding bra on. Hoping loose bolts. Bill and my last name is Allis |

| I bought a 6080 that had been sitting a while and both brake pedals were almost frozen solid, very hard to move. I pulled the snap rings and with a lot of penetrating oil and pushing and pulling I got both pedals worked out. Before you take them out measure the height of the pedal so you get it splined up at the same height(there is a measurement for that in the manual). Sanded the pedal shafts and honed the mount they slide into. Now it is like power brakes, very light pedal will stop the tractor instantly. I replaced the clutch due to the front trans seal leak and it does seem to engage on the high end of pedal travel. It is adjusted perfect, must be the way it is. I pulled a disc with it the other day and it would loose traction, never had any slippage. |

PTO big stick stay forward all the time unless you are using it to disengage the running PTO. Pulling it back puts pressure on the thrust block. Clutch engagement is on the side with cable adjuster.

Don't have it home yet, will take some pictures then. They had been using the tractor to haul and unload hayilage. Said the PTO worked fine. It was in the right position and both levers seemed to engage properly. Hopefully the brake issue will be a cheap fix. Any idea on the hum in high range? Normal or might it be low on transmission oil. I did not fine a dip stick for the trans/hyd, haven't read the books yet. Thanks for the information... keep is coming. This is just a toy to mow 10-20 acres and till 5 to 10. But I don't need problems. Bill

| The trans doesn't have a dipstick just a plug on the right side to check fluid level. It takes 3 gallons for it. The rear housing does have a dipstick, it is set in a little indentation so clean out before you unscrew it. |

Not sure about the range hum, but the hydraulics do hum ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

Tranny plug is on tranny housing slightly forward and below the brake pedals. Clear as mud? ------------- 8030 and 8050MFWD, 7580, 3 6080's, 160, 7060, 175, heirloom D17, Deere 8760 |

Just like LBO442 said the brakes will be a cheap fix, just need to take it apart, clean it and grease it. Mine was the same way when I got it, RH pedal would stick down and had to lift it with my foot. If it has a cab that makes it a little more difficult but still not too bad. Just need to be careful not to break the lower RH side glass when removing brake pedal shaft. You'll like the tractor once you get her all tuned in to your liking. ------------- '49 A-C WD, '51 A-C WD, '63 A-C D17 Series III, 1968 A-C One-Seventy, '82 A-C 6060, '75 A-C 7040, A-C #3 sickle mower, 2 A-C 701 wagons, '78 Gleaner M2 |

Bill here is some pages from the service manual that should help with the brake pedals.  |

The pictures make sense. Couldn't understand how the valve actuated. Now it makes more sense. Did you take it all apart or just work lubricant into the bushings? Thanks again, supposed to be getting oweners and service manuals with the tractor, that will help... will know tomorrow. Bill
