What about a pump for a 35x /65 @REStracTORATION am led to believe they are unobtainable ? having said that saw what I recond was one on E bay just recently http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152544296049?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Hmm you know i can not picture what the pump looks like although it does look like the same type if not slightly different

We bought 4 or 6 from usa a few year ago not seen anymore since

A bit of an update on the 550 got the @multi power in bits
All in quite good order plate thickness is within tolerance so just 2 new piston rings for the pack new input shaft seals too and that will do.
Pics in depth for @multi power incase he wants to do his

Remove selector rails

Pull hi/lo off back and knock bearing off and pull shaft out

Remove the input houseing, take the shim washer out od center support and pish the input shaft out of pack then lift pack out

Above pic you dont have to remove lower house i did to reseal as gasket was leaking.
End up with a couple of parts

The pack

Put it back together hopefully in morning when rings turn up i used last ones up and forgot to reorder

Thankyou yes it is nice its just as nice in the flesh too this would be better than any new Chinese indian import at least it wouldn't depreciate like one thats for sure.

Yes but owner didnt want it

Got the 398 practically finished, been an on going project from November, still few things I'd want to do if I decide to keep it, eg front mudguards, new rubber around nose cone and Id like to fit the other roof top with the lights built in front and back.

What price is the rubber? I saw one advertised for £60. I've a notion of selling it but I've a ts115 and I've considered selling it and keeping the 398, there such a simple tractor with not a lot to go wrong and lively too as they don't have clutch packs etc to fill for every gear.

Takes time and money, although the 398 was actually a pleasure to do, I tidied up my 7610, it's can didn't seem too bad but once I started stripping it down the rot was everywhere, stood a lot of welding and grinding and then filling! The Massey needed very little that way, bottom of door and a little on the cab floor where you'd be climbing in. I really enjoy this kind of work, would struggle with the internal mechenics but, eg gear boxes, engine re builds etc, don't know how you do it yourself and with such a wide variety of tractors.

Thankyou im not that good with modern stuff to be honest we try not to do tractors after late 90s just because the electric can take a fair chunk of a budget with very little show for cost.
Its all about learning if you get a workshop manual and follow it there just abig mechano set really just rust thats the killer and timely but has to be right to acheive a perfect end result
