Thanks Chris! Yes, I did find some things that need attention. If this winter goes anything like the last few have, it will warm up and melt in a week or two.
Man yeah Mr Pete, I wish you had done this video before I went through all that with Dads 😁😁 Looking fwd to seeing you go back together with it!! That looks like a winter wonderland!! Be safe and stay warm my friend!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good day Pete Yea I was wondering why the late reply, remembering that u went on 2 wk vacation. Yes shaft looks pretty rough, We got it on Fri nite -Sat & then smaller one on Sunday Thanks for now
Yup. Snow over the weekend, cold this week. Supposed to be above normal again next week, will probably all melt! The older you get the more you appreciate a warm place to work.
That up and down movement operates the steering valve, a little movement is necessary, but with the thrust bearing bad it's probably extensive! Good luck
My brother and I went through my 3000 in 2021 never got new secter shafts but the steering shaft had the same problem with rust we bought a new one we used broken tractor for my parts if it's any help
Great job Pete you are definitely a perfectionist. I like it ain’t much of us old guys like that left in the world.
Thanks! We'll just keep plugging away.
Thanks for showing the breakdown. Now l know what to look at on my tear down
Thanks! I'll video more details when I put it together.
Looks like it was worth the time to take it all apart. Hopefully Spring will get here quickly!

Thanks Don! Yes, we got the snow, now we got the cold!
Hope you had a good time away with the Better Half. Nice job of troubleshooting.
Thanks!
Just did a 3000 steering box. I found a pilot bearing puller worked great for that lower bearing.
Thanks!
Looks good - that tractor will be a great addition to the fleet…👍
Thanks!
Uhhh, winter is here in spades :(. I have got to get a heated shop. Hopefully parts are available.

Yes, it did seem excessive. Thank you!
Don't remember that much snow back in June of 2020 😆
Ha! I set the correct time and date on my knock-off Go Pro once. It didn't stay, so to hell with it 🙂
Mr. Pete this is going to be your going to town tractor.
Thanks! Hoping for it to be a bush hogging tractor.

Thanks! Broken Tractor is where I'm getting my parts.
