Reichow7120 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 What did you have to do? Find another parts tractor? I wish I had that type of luck. Go look at a parts tractor and buy it to find out its a perfectly functional machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.B. Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Love the red interior. Don't make it too nice or you won't want to use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafarm49 Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 well I drove it to a buddys shop. he s gonna address the hard starting issue. I asked him while it was there to check valves and change the front dampener as it looks old, rubber looks cracked and hard. the radials and cab mounts sure make it ride good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfred54 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 First thing I would do, is paint those weights RED. Nice looking tractor you got there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kirsch Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 If that was a parts tractor to start out with, mine is ready for the scrap heap... Apparently it's all about where you are. Anywhere but here there are tons of nice tractors, cheap. People selling them as parts machines with absolutely nothing wrong except cosmetics...

gafarm49 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 It was on a online repo auction. The listing had a Pic of the dipstick with the oil barely touching. It had some good tires and a good cab. It was 30 miles from me. I bid more than parts price (5000$) but I was going to put the cab on the 1086 that's now got the yar cab. When you figure the new radials, interior and possibly an injector pump I got a pretty good bit in it but oh well, I've done worse things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've hard a hard enough time sticking just the foam pad and keeping it in place I always used the 3/M spray adhesive too all the 86 series tractor I didn't think were that bad for heat or noise but the 66 series were deafening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
