I bought this tractor off an old friend who had it sitting around outside for a long time. I then relaced injectors, valves and cylinder head gaskets. every thing else was working until we used it to tow the tow behind hayrake just after christmas. (yes I am in New Zealand, not raking snow). one problem we encountered was that the left side brake must have been touching and heated to a near dangerous level. the other thing i realised after was that we lost a fair ammount of gearbox oil due to old seals on the hydraulic arms of 3 point linkage. To remove the arms I have to lift the linkage at least half way. I tried but it would not lift. I checked the oil and found that it only just showed on the dip stick. I then topped the oil up to the top and tried again. it would not lift! I shifted the pump/pto in to every position but nothing would work. Not even the PTO. I checked the workshop manual which left me reasnobly clue less. I think the pto is mechanical not like on my 8011 where I believe its hydraulic.
The workshop manual mentioned that the magnetic filter has to be cleaned every 60 hours and the bottom cleaned out once in a while. This tractor probably hadn't had anything done in the last 10 years. (nor had my 8011, I possibly need to clean the gearbox and engine filters)
So by not being able to engage PTO i have a feeling that something in the gearbox might have come out of line, nothing to do with low oil level? can anyone help ?
