Project MTX codename - Don't tell the wife

[Oh Deere]

Gave here a quick wash this morning. Removed the damaged gearbox section to reveal the 4wd clutch pack and handbrake. Took the 4wd pack out and run it up in the lathe to make sure its still true and not bent.
forward / reverse clutch packs out tomorrow if we have time to check clutch plates.

Diff housing has been refurbished with new forward and reverse clutch plates.
Bearings replaced on shuttle shaft and new hand brake discs fitted.
Had to take the Manitou for a little road trip today to collect the replacement gearbox.

Powershift housing removed from donor gearbox and stripped down to check clutch plates in powershift packs.
All plates where in good condition and reused .
Have been sorting out pipe work and swapping hydraulic pump , priority valve and powershift valves over from the donor to the new gearbox.
Hopefully new front plate seal will turn up in morning ready to put box back into tractor

Sorry not many pictures from yesterday. Was on my own untill lunch time and managed to replace gearbox front cover and seal. Bolted the backend back onto the engine which was a bit of a handfull by myself.
Put the cab back on yesterday afternoon..
Hopefully she will move under here own steam today. Batteries are on charge - air con needs regassing .
Need to find the clevis pin for the clutch cable as its grown legs and done a runner.

Very impressive workshop skills, you self taught or trained?

Well she's up and running . Had to dig the workshop manual out to calibrate the cab suspension. Other than putting the steering pipes on the wrong way round everything looks good. Prop guard and recharge the aircon left.

Lovely Tractor, how much do these sell for these days? You'll surely get a tidy (and well deserved) profit out of this one!

My winter projects are a bit like chocolate oranges - once unwrapped there's no stopping.
Sold Missy McCormick this morning looks like I need a new project.
She should be worth £25,000
