      Removed the “parking brake” then tried to follow the brake adjustment protocol but someone had screwed the bottom bolt and lock nut all the way in on the right side.  After adjusting the top bolt and tightening up the right linkage both brakes are responsive and work great.

      Replaced almost every zerk on the undercarriage with HF metric and ran out of grease.  Seems like the frequent greasing per the previous owner was scant at best.

      Can’t find one on the water pump TY395E3 as per the engine manual and both side top rollers have an opening on the inside track that looks like a zerk fits there but isn’t threaded.

      Started pushing some dirt today after changing the final drive fluid, tranny, motor oil etc.

      Pretty sweet machine👍

      Plan on changing out the water temp gauge this weekend and finding the gremlin than shut both the headlights and rear lites off👹

        Bob:

        Thanks for the warm welcome.

        I will remove the “parking brake” as I am in preparation now for the “brake adjustment process”,  it should make things easier.

        Also, what is the real meaning of the grease nipple warning of the blue plate on the transmission

        CAUTION!

        “To avoid calcium-grease escaping from the clutch contaminate and skid the clutch rubbing piece, add exact quantity 2# calcium-grease to the nib every 50 hours of operation, otherwise may cause serious damage!”

        I would like to grease it but am fearful of the “serious damage” warning!
