Man I hate this tractor... I've never had anything work worse...
Got around another 25acres left of heavy subsoiling to do - Was working it real hard Wednesday - I blew oil out a hole immediately forward of the Starter motor - there are two holes there just behind the engine block...assumed it was engine oil - perhaps a relief valve - besides smoke - thats all I saw.
I generated a new hydraulic leak out the rear hydr spool valve - facing the two valves - the one to the left - It was leaking like a stream so I turned it about 5 full turns it stopped - but the 3pt lowered really slow - this made it harder to rip as the draft control would lift it up but it was VERY slow to go back down - I took back the 5 turns but the 3pt remained slow to lower.
The next day it was clear hyd fluid had come out from under the seat...don't know why or how - but it did...
Started the tractor up and had intermittent steering, clutch and brake - better a real low RPM than high - But - continued to rip - used the ripper as my brake and the clutch was hard - but worked.
As the oil gets hot - the clutch begins to try and work on its own...same with brake same w steering - could feel the tractor lunge and stop and then made some louder terrible screetching sound - like clutch automaticall depressing and or brake automically depressing -could see the gear levers shaking and once they popped out of gear.
So Out to the edge of the field we went - if I lowered rmps to drive out - seemed to get massively better and had part clutch and brake and steering back...higher RPM's wreck all that...
I don't know what I'm gonna do with this thing...its been a money pit all fall....
Any ideas? I really need to finish the last 25 acres...is this off the table...winters comin...
I run it about 5 gallons over for hyd fluid and put in some more hoping that would solve my ailments...but no - no diff...couldn't rip yest doesn't seem like I can today either..

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
