pictures what pictures? like you say at this point what difference does it make ? or was that someone else that said that?
to save you a few bucks take the loader off before taking it to a mech. I am not sure about this but I think Northern Tool might be able to be a parts source for you, also price a flywheel just in case yours in heat checked badly and turning it wont get it corrected. It is a shame that a simple adjustment was not done earlier by the other owners ,this could have been most likely avoided.
As to setting the gap on the clutch I would use a piece of hardwood( like oak)to what ever length you think you need and rip on table saw to the width you want and check with a good measuring device. If I remember right some have had issues with the springs failing in the pressure plate, I hope this is not the issue, that is a tractor split. Get your clearances and try adjusting the clutch first but I do not know if it will help I keep going back to you stating there was a lot of pedal travel, that would indicate the clutch was engaging the flywheel whereas if there was no pedal travel the clutch was slightly held off the flywheel. good luck
I would get another person to push the clutch pedal in and out as you look at the linkages, maybe you can see a lack of movement giving you a idea of there is a pin failure. As I remember people in the past were using split pins and inserting one inside the other to give them a little more metal to help prevent breakage. where are you located? As I think about this if , as you mentioned you had a lot of play maybe that pin was cracked giving the excess play and then completely gave out. When you figure this out I would make sure that the clutch play is correct to make sure wear is made normal.
free play should be around one inch , with that try to adjust in some free play hopefully you will get some if not it is clutch time.
I assume your brake drums are external next to the rims and the oil seals have leaked . since I know nothing about your tractor this is just a guess ,look at the pedals and follow the linkages to the brakes would be my best guess, some of these chinese tractors use a band brake system they should be on the rear end housing.
I do not have a clue but you can try to assume that if around the oil filter housing if there is a oil line that goes to the injector pump it gets oil from the engine, no line it uses its own built in reservoir. I use 15/40 engine oil in those. they do not use much oil and are slow to fill.
yeah I have left it alone I took the mower off the tractor (bought new zero turn) and put a tiller on it so it does not get the use that it was getting.
there is nothing wrong with going old school, but a good quality joystick vs the chinese ones would have fixed it too. I have a joystick in a 2001 backhoe with over 4000 hrs and never touched it.
