I bought my 400 from a guy who got it an estate sale to resell it. I am the third owner. The original owner must have been superannuated (old) because the tractor had antique tranny oil in it. Similar to the rear end in oil in my '24 Graham Bros Truck that was speced for 600W. This oil is so thick that it won't drain below freezing. I had to heat my shop to 90 degrees and place four infrared heating lamps around the rear frame to remove it. I couldn't get it all out because the Hy-Tran in it now is very dark.
Although it is a low hour tractor, it spent most of its working life running with a tar like oil.
The original owner never used the TA because it wouldn't work with the owner supplied oil. The Hy- Tran fixed that problem.
I'll bet that the first thing the owner did to the tractor was to get rid of that "cheap" factory oil. The next thing he did was to buy an Electrall kit. He must have been a character.
