Thanks Jim. I had thought of the filter way back when before i even considered taking the res cover off. Your suggestion helped to affirm my course of action. It was TOUGH finding a location for it to mount, but I think I got it squared away. The best thing about the filter setup is it has bleeders on it, so i can open them, and shoot a litile air, (probly set the regulator at like 5-15psi) into the resevoir to get the suction tube full of oil (I already filled the filter with oil) to help get the system primed as fast as possible.
Today I also addressed my lift arm hydraulic lines, welded on some mounting tabs to a pipe that goes behind the battery so its not flopping all around. I also fixed my seat, the groove most uses was broken over to another goove which slides the seat back and forth. IT could moved about 2 inch eithr way and made for a weird ride. I took it apaprt, welded it up, reground the groves and relubed it. Theres 2 big ball bearings in there on each rail, pretty cool setup, now adays, it would just ride on the rails.
I've decided not to mess with the tranny cover. I will check the plugs tomorrow and see how things look. It would be nice to get it off, but its simply too much work.
I have to say I really appreciate your input, as well as the rest of the forum members. Without you guys I would be lost. I'm failry mechanically inclined, but lack the confidence when it comes to new things, to just jump in there and "mess it up" =)
Tomorrow I hope to get her finished up so I can run her a bit and check it out. This summer I'll give her a good wipe down. In my opinion its the best way to clean it is just a crapload of dry shop rags. It gets the majority of the grime off and makes it look a little better. Power washing it would do so much wrong to it. First, it would get water in everything I'm sure. Second, it removes all of the oil and the rusty areas just continue to rust faster. My tractor is far from pretty, but I like it. My next project is the rear axles. Seem the right side grease zerk doesnt want to take any grease. I'll do some reseach first...
