Acquired a new project, not that I need anymore but everyone needs a Swiss Army knife!
Straight 410 Deere John, has 12" and 30" dig buckets, overall well worn and extremely farmerized, just the way I like... Pretty straight though!
Hadn't run in 12 years, all fluids look good, nothing overfull, stuck a battery in yesterday, damn thing flashed right up! Runs good, little blowby, has reverse but no forward, may be digging into the forward clutch pack, we'll see. Hyd have little flow and no pressure, pump was turning so will see what I find once I get into it.
They were using it with only reverse for years, even stuck the rear tires on backwards! The front bucket has a big piece of the bottom torched out, guessing they needed that piece of steel urgently and couldn't use the bucket anyway?? Beats me? hah!
I got it for next to nothing, traded a couple days labour repairing his other tractors and equipment.
I'll update with some pictures of the past "repairs" that have been done, quite entertaining!
Should get it home in a few weeks, but I'm not going to say anymore about that. Safety police would have a hayday.
