I have a 986 (late 1978) tractor that has a major problem and I need some advice and or opinions from anyone. It has worn out bearings in the Range Transmission and a gear that is missing 2 teeth. Mechanic says that it will cost 4 - 5 thousand to overhaul. However, if some of the problems in the range transmission have caused damage in the Speed transmission, then that too will need to be overhauled. Total cost of about 10 thousand.
Should I junk it or do the overhauls.
I like the tractor, engine starts and runs great with plenty of power. Has a new water pump, alternator, gauges. Cab and air are not functional - windows need to come out. The tractor is not very pretty because it has quite a bit of rusted out sheet metal. Rear tires in bad shape but front ones excellent
