I was told by my "Farmall" mechanic that my hydraulic unit needed a "kit" or rebuild. The rear lift wasn't working properly. It would lift a heavy disk once or twice cold, but when the fluid heated up, it wouldn't. The man came and got the tractor, calling me later to tell me that he had the unit torn down, and there were metal shavings inside, so I must need the pump, too. He quoted a fix of 500.00 for the unit, and another 500.00 for the pump. He then started trying to buy the tractor and equipment, which I sold all for 2500.00(disk, 2-bottom plow, Tillis tool(all quick-connect). This tractor was a '62 model, and in extra good condition, with very little "wear" that you see in most, but I had spent enough money that these new repair costs "were the straw that broke the camel's back. I REALLY think this guy was pulling a fast one, because he had always tried to buy my 140 when I saw him. Personally, I think the pump was still ok, and I only needed the hydro unit fixed. When I finally agreed to sell, he made a flying trip to my house with cash in hand.
