Thanks for the pdf's the spec sheet with the RPMS information. This is just what I was looking for. With that I can do the calculations to see what it would take to make a gear reduction.
Thanks for the contribution to the thread Sonny.
Thank you for your feedback. I Did consider this back in the Spring I checked with my local place that I rent from and found out that they got a Burr up their butt and decided They were not going to Rent their equipment any longer. It's a local Ace Hardware . They get attitudes about things from time to time. The rental rates are about the same if it's near or far in this area so the $150 tractor plus trailer rental of $75.00 to $100.00 plus the rental of the attachments. So to rent the equipment and get it to my property is a bit expensive. They have this outlandish thing called half a rental but they set there half day at 3.5 hours. So by the time I would get things put in the condition that I would like them I would have at least 1.5 days if not 2 whole days invested so this could be close to $500 or more by the time I was done. As far as using this little tractor, I do Intend to use it extensively. Moving trailers and other things around. Dragging my drive way maybe pulling a sprayer. Also with the included mower I was going to use it to mow my property from time to time. Last but not least I do like the the fact that it is a peice of history and I like to fix and restore old equipment. In my youth I used to fix up old IH Farmalls and thank them to shows. So this would be.my first IH I have bought in 25 years so it's more than just making a working tractor. It getting back to something I wish I hadn't stoped doing in the first place.
Go for it! That's all the reasons that we do this sort of thing!!! Stan
JD made/had a gearbox that bolted to the rear of the differental and over the pto shaft that was used for powering a belly mower. This was on the 50 series yanmar made tractors that were sold in the 1980's. I can get a picture of one from my 850 if you're interested but since it's part of the 72 inch belly mower I don't want to part with it. Stan
The valve I was referring to is a diverter valve that is installed in the mid section of the tractor in place of the flare T fitting. It was, on some models I guess bit not all. It was used to divert hydrolic pressure from the deck lift cylinder to the 3pt cylinder. In my research I have noticed that this valve wasn't on every unit or model. I have looked at a lot of pictures of these tractors and I didn't see to many with the diverter valve. So its probably a rare item.
It might be in the parts manual............. Stan
I think this might be what you're looking for: (from the 154 parts manual TC 131, Rev 8, 1-72). All the details about what models, SN, etc are there.
Also I highly recommend that if you are going to do any disassembly/repair/etc get a copy of the service manual GSS 1408--208 pages of total information on the subject.
Thank you.
Thank you.
