I've been slowly reconditioning this tractor step by step. The only thing left to fix is the front trans seal is leaking. Once I get the time to tear it down and resolve this seizing issue, I'll paint.
The Hydraulic pump has been rebuilt and works perfect. Touch control screen has been cleaned and fresh hydraulic fluid added. It's full now. Could something in the touch control plug causing the pump to stall and lock up the motor?
The brakes have been reworked including milling the brake drums, new pads, springs, and balls. Also installed new seals in the bull pinion retainers. They work perfect.
Starter has been rebuilt with new clutch type bendix. I doubt this would have cause it to seize as I was running down the road when all this happened. Ring gear is in perfect shape.
Fuel tank was pressure washed and cleaned, it's spotless. Carb has been rebuilt. Fuel delivery system from tank to carb is all new and upgraded to 3/8" fuel line with a ball valve. If it was a fuel problem it wouldn't have seized the motor.
Pilot bearing in flywheel is dry, it grinds when going into gear unless I idle it way down and wait a few seconds. I'll fix that when I tear it down to replace trans seal. Trans shaft should have been spinning the same speed as the flywheel so that shouldn't have been the cause.
I'll replace the head gasket. I hope this was a one time deal. I'd hate to damage the motor over something simple.
