Hi P,Backus,
Yea there is oil in the resivoir,
The hyd line,s go back from the pump in front
to the tank under the gas tank,
But then thier capped off from going any further,
Nothing go,s under seat, or out the back,
This is what,s funny,
I went & looked yesterday morning at tractor,
and all I saw was that capped off fitting on side of hyd tank,w/ another elbow underneath
that piece with a little threaded square plug in it.
It,s like a person undid it,and then just left it there with nothing on it.
Tractor had a loader on it,
But was using a plate with the hyd lever elbow,s
bolted to it on top,and then it was bolted to inside of left fender on a pipe,sheesh!
This loader was real crude,and the hyd line,s were just hanging along the left side of tractor
tied to the steering rod so they woudnt sway in the wind I think,or something,shoot,I dont know?
And get this,
Someone welded tab,s onto the front axle top on each side so it woudnt have any give in front on the front leaf spring,( stupid)!
Then On top of that they,(Idont know who),
welded a steering cylinder onto the right side,
On the radius rod,with the metal wound steering lines going along the side underneath the radius rod,then welded flat top tab,s onto the top of axle on end,s for something, i dont dont?
and welded a rod onto the pittman arm,that connect,s to that silly hyd cylinder,
with a power steering pump from a chevy mounted to a bar on left side of tractor behind grille,
This older guy told me that someone had tried to put power steering on it,I guess with that loader on it,and bigger front mud tire,s size 7,50,16
to handle it all,
Crappy design,crappy looking.
If you ,or anyone else see, anything like this?
Do yourself a favor,
Run like heck away from it,and dont look back,
All It does is cause grief in trying to undo someone else,s mistake,s.
so in a nutshell,that,s what ive been dealing with on this W-6,
Ohh yea, I forgot,
The person that did this to the tractor also cut a hole in the front right side of hood to make room for an alternator when they switched it from 6 to 12 volt,arghhhh!
The person that did all this junk to this W-6 should be tarred, and feathered to the max,
and then thrown in the grey bar hotel,(jail).
HAHA,,
But you know what I mean.
Stay in touch,ok,
Kirk C,
