Well gang, I went and test drove a 1086 today, so I have some
questions.
He had just replaced the clutch and TA and hydraulic pump and
cab interior (he bought it to fix and sell). It"s a "77 model.
Good points:
Looks pretty good
engine popped right off and ran beautifully (although the engine
block was still warm when I got there), turbo sounds good
shifted smoothly, not sloppy or noisy in any gear
nice 20.8 tires
good interior
complete, straight, doesn"t look abused, has 3 point, DH, 540/
1000
Questions and concerns:
TA freewheels on low side backlash- I thought they didn"t
freewheel anymore after they went to the hydraulic TA??? My 706
doesn"t.
the bit of blow by that there was came in rythmic puffs, making
me think that one cylinder had an "issue"- again, it ran great
with no ticking and pulled strongly in high gear
front spindle arms were loose on both sides
when I drove it I listened for rear end noise, but I"m not familiar
enough with these to know what is normal (it sounded better
than my 4166 gears, but what wouldn"t?) When in high range,
high gear (with windows open, T-Vet), I could hear a bit of a
whine that would let up when you backed off the throttle, of
course. Didn"t seem to be an abnormal amount of lash when
backing off the throttle (or vice versa), but there was some there.
When I let it slow down in high gear until the engine was just
about 800 RPM, and then give "er, you could hear the gears
grumble, but then a lot of tractors will in that situation (you
should hear my Magnum if I lug it a bit like that). I never could
"feel" the gears rattle or whine, so are those normal sounds?
I"m hoping to drive a different one early this next week and that
should give me a point of comparison.
No duals, no weights, offered to me for $11,700
Dunno- whadaya think?
Paul
