I snapped the rubber drive coupling pulling an ancient small onions scraper leveling some ground that was fairly hard. Hardly surprising really.Could `literally` run rings round County`s ect. Turn round with stone cart on, inbetween 10yd apart drains without touching them, Need half a field to turn with any of the others, especialy the big Dutra`s.
Were actualy good for ploughing,used a 4furrow revesible on mine, setting in at the ends you could turn the steering and set the plough down in the right place. When I got mine the first thing to do was replace the rubber bobbins in the drive shaft from the engine, Got new swivel bushes and pivot parts from America, new steering ram ( was worn in the middle of the cylinder and needed constant turning of steering wheel to go straight). Mostly good after that apart from small oil leaks everywhere. and the yoke for the auxilary cylinder on top of the backend snapped and kapputed the cylinder.
Was a brilliant tractor for gripping, Wish I could of afforded to keep it all those years ago
Was that the next one up from the 1505?
Think its 8 cylinder but wont know until I see it.
nothing like a 1200 totally different drive train just looks the same
Yes pivot steer.
I am sure some very colourful words were used when it happened... do you know how the two halves were recovered?
Fasten a 2wd axle on and drove them out?
