3-point has not lifted since I owned it.
Upper Lift arm housing has horse shoe crack above inspection plate. Where the clutch housing meets the transmission there is now a 1/4" to 3/8" gap. it is as if the 10 cap bolts are missing. It appears as though the loader frame is holding the tractor together. Obviously the tractor does not move under its own power. Power steering is weak but works great when the loader bucket is empty. Loader picks up 2500# without effort. Motor has 2500hrs diesel starts first turn even when its 10°F outside. My neighbor borrowed it a few months ago. Over the last 5 to 6 years it was common for us to swap tractors or implements . I got a call from his stepson telling me telling me his stepdad packed house and moved to FL and I needed to get my tractors and any implements off the property. Its possible he started a clutch replacement and for what every reason did not have time to finish and just reassembled in an ASAP faction and left out the bolts. is it posable these bolts broke? None of the other bolts seemed to be wrenched on. |

You posted in the "Classified" section. You would probably get more responses in the "Farm Equipment" section.

Sounds like it has had a tough life. If it was me, I would part it out. Engine alone is worth decent money. 160 Parts are usually hard to come by as well.
