I got the tractor working. Bought a new splined coupler (Thanks Patch) ,,turned the old one off(it was silver slodered on)...bored out the new one, welded it on, then trim to OD and length...put tractor back together...thing works flawlessly(except the steering).
The lil rubber bushings for the drive hub are SHOT! Got new ones coming tomorrow.
Geez...it feels good to swing a hoe again. Haven't operated one since the mid seventies when I ran them full time.
And that ol Yamaha sled that's been in my way for months...iis now a crushed up ball of junk!!! LOL! Damm that was fun!!!!
One more question...I'd really like to take the hoe off for now.
Two hoses run the the back for the hoe...one pressure and the other return (duh). These do not have quick couplers.
Can I just plug off both hoses or do I need to join them together to form a "loop"?
I bought plugs for all four ends today but then got thinking...what "if".. I shouldn't block the hoses off.
Might seem stupid but I'm NOT a hydraulic guy.. I just wreck machinery...err...I mean run it..
