Very, very nice!  Did the new rod ends make a difference on the shift linkage?

Yes, no slop, makes shifting very crisp, also deleting the shift interlock helps to shift from one gear pair to another much better.

Great job on the rebuild! I agree that those NOS injection pumps from Danny are awesome, we put one on our 52 and set it at about 300 hp like you and now it only burns .25-.3 gal/acre pulling a 12/23 planter.

They like fuel I can’t believe how much you can push through them

Very nice tractor and nice job on the repairs!    Did I read that correct that it only has 2500 original hours????    Looks like you need another pair of drills for behind it!

That is what the tach says, it works and as far as we can tell it's pretty accurate.  The engine had a cracked #1 piston from it being overheated, the radiator was plugged with red dirt from the south, Danny at Dirtboyz rebuilt the engine and painted it.

sweeeet…….. you should be proud. did some work on a 5288 awhile ago with only 3800 hours and I thought that was low hours. that is very low hours for your tractor.  good luck with her,should get many years out of her
