I just took the bottom of the pump off, and everything looked good. I checked the clearances and the idler gear was .002 and the drive gear was .004 to .005 . The book calls for between .002 to .006 for the clearance between the teeth and pump wall. So it looks like the pump is not my problem.
I also plastic gauged the rod bearings and they come in at .003 , well with in spec.
If I took it to a tractor mechanic, what would it likely cost to replace the main bearings, verses buying another good working JD 60. I only paid $800 for it in 1993.
What is a 60 worth to sell with low oil pressure, but with good compression, good working PTO clutch, no leaks, straight metal, 70% tread on rears, new fronts, no power steering , no 3 pnt what is is worth?
