Most of you probably don't know me but I joined last year for help in diagnosing a PTO Problem in a '53 F-Cub. Well anyway you guys helped me figure it out (Main shaft retainer problem). Well I have not had time to split it, but just recently found someone with experience replacing shafts willing to do it. It is really more of a job than I am comfortable doing anyway.
Anyways I just bought a 1955 LoBoy with a Woods 59 mower. It has a grader blade that appears to be homade? Maybe some will know. The guy I bought it from was the third owner (same family). The engine was rebuilt at the IH dealership in 1995. It has been used to mow 1 1/4 acres for the last few years.
I changed the oil, filter, transmission and final drive fluid today. I also change the spark plugs and fuel filter. Did some grading on the driveway for about two hours todayand it seems to run great, everthing works. I will be mowing about 2 acres with it. I paid $1500 for it so I think it was a fair deal. Everthing is pretty straight on it and it is all there, just needs paint (maybe this winter). Wil be replacing rear tires this week, probably ag tread, I'm not much on turf tires.
Thank you in advance for helping me with sometimes dumb questions!!
Tell me if there is any thing else I should check on it.
