Daniel, what brand hardener did you use? What brand paint do you prefer?

Ok, so by now you all know I'm not so good at waiting.
So Teresa is helping evenings at Bible School, so I made it "tire night. The 620 got new shoes!

And late this afternoon, Josh ran too tight against the feeders dragging out old silage with the Massey 175. The tire caught a 2x10, split it, then the piece ran through the tire sidewall. A great tire ruined. Oh well, crap happens. I went ahead & took that tire off tonight too so I could clean all the fluid off the rim & entire tractor for that matter. No need letting it sit all night & start the rusting. Around $500 for a new tire. Just 2 days ago, a large front tire on one of our Massey 2745's blew out from old age. That replacement tire is coming in tomorrow at $323.
Been a 15hr day, and vet check in the morning, so I have to start earlier so the cows won't be headlocked too long in the heat. Time for a shower!![]()

I was looking over some of your first pictures in this thread, where you pulled the engine to fix the starter. It looks to me like the drive shaft isn't connected directly to the engine, but uses a 2-sheave pulley that runs off the engine's 2 sheave pulleys next to the starter ring gear.
Is that right?
Thanks,
Steve

Yes, that is correct. The clutch pedal disengages these belts, but I hardly ever use the pedal unless in cases where I need to operate a hydraulic lever while steering...kinda short on hands to operate the hydro control arm.
With 3 point hitch, a darn good price at $1500! Does it also have rear pto? If so, then a real darn good price! Nothing jumps out in my mind for you to check, other than everything! LOL The belts are cheap if needing replaced. Check for vibrations that seem out of normal. Of course check engine for weird sounds & smoke. The rear end is a 3 speed, so be sure they all operate smooth. And check both pto clutches if so equipped to see that they come on. OH.....the ONE thing that does jump out at me to check is that the charge system is charging the battery. Factory components are high. If the stator & both the regulator & rectifier (separate on these) are bad, it can run around $300 or more. Any pics of it?

The pto clutch should be under that hump in the tunnel cover, just under the front of the seat.I'll have to check out the shaft to the rear PTO--I could just see it was on the tractor but didn't trace it down.
