I'm anxious to know too. He indicated that one or more parts were in the wrong order or backwards. He said he had it apart about 15 times, following the manual (as did I at least 5 times). I had difficulty interpreting some of those pictures in the manual. I even tried following
this depiction assuming the ordering was correct since it matched what I thought I saw in the manual.
I'll try to get more info when I pick it up.

4/10/2025 Status: Former AGCO dealer called and said the CA is done and ready to be picked up. MY brother will go get it soon (TBD). I had 5 repairs done (hydraulic pump, front wheel bearings, PTO shaft seal, diagnose random misfire (fix if easy), can't remember. For the misfire, it purrs along nicely then there's a single pop...more purring, pop pop, etc. My next trip home begins Saturday (12th).

4/20/2025 Status: Got the tractor back from former AGCO dealer. Repairs appear successful. 1) Hydraulic pump fixed (4 different people apparently made the same mistake repeatedly, including me)...cause: valve sections reversed...simple, obvious, embarrassing, expected that it was something dumb. 2) front wheel bearings, 3) repacked hydraulic cylinders which were leaking. 4) PTO shaft seal, 5) ran out of time to diagnose misfire problem. Resumed some minor repair work outlined in following posts.

The throttle control was so worn that it would not hold an RPM greater than about 1/2 throttle. So, I welded a new surface and filed the landing slots to alleviate the slippage. I'm not too hot of a welder, but the tiny off brand wirefeed welder barely has enough current draw 400 foot to the barn on 12 gauge house circuit wire to tack two pieces together). I did the same to the bottom slide surface. It was worn about 1/2 way through. I guess I could have turned off the LED lights in the barn :(

In preparation for attaching the first 3pt implement, I attached the new front wheel weights. It probably wasn't necessary. The finish mower is 524 lbs.
Because the right side rim was damaged (calcium chloride damage) and welded all the way back in the 60s, the wheel weight isn't sitting flat on the right side. I'm probably going to have to grind the weld down more to get the weight to sit flat and reduce wheel wobble and then see if I can balance it better. If I have to get a new rim, I will.

On the February and March trips I partially designed the frame wraparound section that extends toward the rear wheels. This month, I finished, painted, and installed the complete frame and the new weight brackets. Because I didn't originally plan to extend the frame, I placed the rear mounting point for the heavy hitch a couple of inches too far aft (for the frame extension to clear the brake pedals and tires). So I had to cut a small notch out of the heavy hitch to clear the frame. This doesn't impact the heavy hitch capacity in any significant way. On the left side of the tractor, I intend to mount my new step. It will perfectly clear the heavy hitch weight bracket and weights when mounted in the aft location. I decided that this wraparound section is beneficial to counter the twisting of the frame from heavy weights on the weight bracket.
Actually, weights fit perfectly directly on the frame itself, if needed. I believe this frame contributes significantly to the strength of the tractor frame and lessens any concerns with adding a light duty front end loader as discussed previously. Whether I will ever do that is undetermined.
I also prototyped some mounts for the auxiliary hydraulic fluid tank you can see on the floor below. That's kind of a low priority task.

First attempt connecting a 3pt attachment. It worked fairly well although the rockshaft mounted top link bracket makes for an extremely short top link requirement. I have some improvements in work (including for improved safety). The CA PTO shaft is a bit too high and too close to the top link bracket. I have some design tweaks to make to eliminate any potential collisions when the top link angle declines.
The tractor picked the mower up with not even a hint of complaint (524lbs).
The remote is still leaking. The pipe extension was pretty rusted, I'll probably have to change it out. I think I have some spare stainless pipe extensions.
I also installed an overrunning clutch.
Another repair was to fix the rear tail light. It turned out that the entire fender was not grounded. I had added some largish flat washers to distribute the load on the thin fender metal. I guess grounding was previously via the lock washers digging through the paint.

I worked to get some additional basket case implements out of the dirt and up on blocks. The more I look at this twisted heap (Krause), the sadder I get :( The rear disk sections are a few hundred feet behind. I'll have to cut them out of the saplings. The disk sections and the wheels turn fine. Most of the disks seem like they might be cleaned up. I only saw one that was severely disintegrated along the bottom (and one broke in half). Straightening out some of those major frame twists might be difficult. Local body shop perhaps (if I proceed, probably not this year). I guess somebody used it to try to disk down large trees :(

:) Thanks, I wish I had more time to work on it. Traveling to my parents a week here and a week there makes for slow going. Part of the reason I get frustrated when I'm wasting too much time on one thing (like the hydraulic pump). But I am inching closer to having it functional and useful again.

I'm guessing that the generator may have stopped charging for the same reason as the tail light stopped working, lack of ground. Seems less likely, but all the brackets were painted and I also used flat washers in places because the lock washers I had were not quite large enough for the slide section to clamp down properly. The last thing I remember doing was tightening the belt that had come loose, I may have changed the washers at that time and didn't notice it stopped charging until later. Its always something...
