nate Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 a little more progress today. Ran over to my friends house that I had bought service tools from and picked up the rest of the stuff. Adapters for the IH splitting stands and other misc in the pile. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 The front end got torn down. I can’t even believe we got it apart without assistance of the torch! Brother ordered the parts he needed for it today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall1066 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Front axle pivot holes worn out? I was going to buy a square axle for our 5488 a few years ago, but it needed work, and after talking with Mike Links, said every one he gets, needs work!

There was play in the big pivot bushing and the rear wishbone bushing. The steering cylinder pivots had some wear also. The pins will be reused and just get rebushed. Spindles seemed good. Normal wear for 7000 hours I guess… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to paint it while everything is getting refreshed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaFarmall Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Dang, I know the feeling. Just went through our 1586 mfwd. New constant mesh gear... Chipped a tooth off. Fixed a couple of hydraulic leaks. Tons of fun.... Old man is talking how we should upgrade now to newer tractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think I should upgrade to something newer and then the feeling goes away after I look at something newer and think about working on it. Maybe I shouldn't be nervous but it sure looks complicated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use a drill pump, pulling oil out of the oil pan, feeding it into an oil galley. Did that with a tractor that sat for a few years, and the 706W after the engine was put back together. You’ll know it’s working on a 66-88 by flicking the oil filters as you are using the drill pump, you’ll go from an empty tinny sound to the full, thump sound. I can take a picture of my setup if you want a reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former partner was great about dumping a bunch of money in something, using it one season, and wanting to trade it off the next. Yeah great, then we can buy some other P.O.S. and have to dump a bunch of funds and time into that! Once I've got things fixed, I like to keep them around and use them! Tractor is looking good Nate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
