hey guys. i finally got the hydro tranny de-gunked and it's resting comfortably in a fluid bath, so as not to rust. the differential was fun and easier to dismantel than i thought. the goo was in the bearings which hardly spun at all. i'll be replacing all the gaskets, and a few other parts that didn't meet my standards. i really would like to run a snowblower this winter, but times are tough and i need to get this running first. next up is the k241. lots of used parts out there, but still no work so i must sit on my thumbs. i can't even just sit on the tractor. i'm thinking about new/used front tires. it has nanco 16x6.5-8's on there now. i like the tire size just not the tread. goodyear terra 23x10.5-12 on the rear which is plenty beefy for what i plan on using this for. what would be an all season tread for the fronts? there's too much candy in the store nowadays. winter is going to take forever at this rate.
