This week I purchased a JD 1530 from the local dealer. I'm pretty excited. The price was fair and with the exception of a small leak from one of the 3ph arms, play in the steering and worn paint, I'm hoping to have good luck this tractor. It was a one owner (college) and came with a pretty extensive service history. I can't get over how tight it shifts, the motor sounds good too. Of course always little odds and ends such as a new seat and muffler, but that will come in time.
Regarding the steering, the bellcrank seems pretty worn. Instead of replacing it, is it possible to remove it and weld a bushing on it/to it that will tighten up the pin? Also, from your experience is it much of a job to change? Regarding the small leak from the 3ph arm, there is quite a bit of play in it, can that be shimmed??
