New To AC G tractors and Forum

 

Both G's have new batteries, relatively new rear tires, decent enough front tires and both run very well with excellent oil pressure. Both need work on the brakes and I think one has a slightly warped pressure plate (shudders when releasing the clutch) 

One is a relatively early model, and one is a late model (according to the p.o.)

 

The p.o. (previous owner) just tinkered on these and drove the one in the local parades. The one has hydraulic lift and belt drive setup.  Today I put a hose on the hydraulics, the p.o. had just put a plug in each due to a hole in the original hose, and the fact that he didn't use them for work...

 

Here's what I need, any info would be greatly appreciated: I tried the search function, but you need at least 3 characters for it to work and searching for a "G" tractor is not enough ;)

Any info on the hyrdaulics, the owners manual I have is from the non hydraulic tractor.

Does it just run off of the tranny oil? I didn't see a seperate reservoir....

Where do I find G specific parts for this tractor?

Common problems?

Thanks

Do any of the manuals have drawings/diagrams on how the plow and cultivators etc hook up?

I am sure I can figure it out, but if anyone has good close up pics of the implements attached it would help me out!
Thanks!

Kip: I am a member of the Branchport-Keuka park FD, so you've probably been right past my farm... I spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening at trees down on power line calls..

Then I was up all night baby sitting the generator that was keeping power to the heater in our greenhouse so the tomatoes and egg plants don't freeze! Anyone else hate Techumseh's as much as I do???

 

ToddS: I am about 20 minutes West of Rt 14. Do you go to the Walgreens in Penn Yan NY?

I am about 8 miles from there... I have been in contact with a bunch of people on Clist around the state over the last year... So probably Yes. :) Which one are you??

 

OK So I bought the two G's from a local retired grape farmer, I believe they came from the Potter muck in Potter NY... the grape farmer originally bought 4 of them, but sold the others off over the years... Well his son is running the farm and needed the barn space, and he needed money for medical bills.. So I heard from someone that he was looking to sell his G's (I told him he can come play with them whenever he wants to).  I told him I'd give him his asking price for one, but if he wanted to sell both as a package deal let me know, and we came to an agreement that was very fair to both of us.

The implements were sitting in a hedge row and need some work.. but the tractors are both in good running condition as stated in the O.P.

 

I was turned on to G's by my father in law who has a produce farm in Orgeon.. He doesn't own one, but has been wanting one for years... They are VERY hard to find out that way.. He does have two All Crop 60's with the gas engines.. Both were stored in barns, but both engines are siezed... He does alot of very small scale speciality grains and wants to get them fixed up to use on a (relatively) larger scale. 

 

Thanks for the replies and the info on manuals.. How hard is it to get the brakes working correctly on these things??

Also is anyone looking for a 5' woods belly mower? The P.O. included one in the deal, but he hadn't had time to hook it up to the G, so I assume it would be a custom install..
