Hello. I've been a longtime viewer but this will be my first post in a long time. (Since 1999-2000)
Just got this 53 Super M. First tractor I've ever bought and loaded under its own power. Has live hydraulics and a two-way valve, and a faux belly pump--that last bit threw me off for awhile, but it's all factory. The hydraulics picked up a New Holland hay conditioner easily. Transmission is nice and quiet, and the engine runs pretty well but could benefit from tuneup.
Right off the bat I have to contend with a wobbly front end, though I tightened that up quite a bit by rotating the big gear and tightening the loose castellated nut in the steering gear housing. At least now I can go down the road and not be thrown off the tractor. A rebuild for the front-end is probably in order.
Doesn't charge, but I suspect that's more a wiring issue than anything else. The real problem is the rears are loaded and that I will have to contend with down the line.
No real questions here, just giving a sort of introduction.
Thanks, Chris B.
I tried to post pics, but the software says I'm too new to do this. So, they are in the photo gallery under Chris NW Ind.
