since it is common sump and I want the power steering to work easily in winter (I am in S.E. Tn.) I use AW-46 currently, I have used UTF but in the winter the power steering acted up till it warmed. of course gear oil in the front axle.
I would say with a 5 ft. finish mower from fully up to on the ground less than 5 min., it was something I thought I would address before it got bad. When I run a tiller sometimes I do not want it to run at the full depth on the first pass so having the arms not sink is good. most when the wife is running it, if you know what I am sayin.
there is no fancy computers on these tractors so a test light can be used to look for hot or not. Also make sure the grounds are good , they can be a resistance problem creating heat that damages the hot sides. Paint under bolts have been a problem in the past.
good video the only thing I would change is your initial torque settings, I would have went more like 30- 60 -100, but that is just me. proud you got the kids involved.
one thing related to this I will mention some of these tractors will slightly grind gears when oil is cold and goes away when oil gets to operating temps as with the PTO shaft spinning in neutral when cold, the oil makes a current spinning things but as it thins becomes less. Does the first stage of the clutch seem to work ok? (PTO)
yeah if we could just talk fel-pro to make gaskets for these things, on a lighter note makes you wonder why of all the tech. that has been stolen the Chinese did not steal that fel-pro production process . shhh do not give them any ideas.
so I guess with a new set of threads the head no longer leaks. we will be here when you start the next project.
Yepp just keep a eye on the bowl that is a easy way to keep from having issues. On my tractor it came with a plastic bowl that was not clear I changed it out to glass so it is much easier to see in. And I assume you are having trouble with the front drive shaft ? The only thing I know is to avoid driving on a hard surface in 4- wheel drive, that takes any tire size difference from placing undue tension on the balls. hahhahah
