Hey there, neighbor. Your project looks a lot mine! Just picked up a TO 30 in June. Have it in pieces in the shed right now. My axle is leaking as well. Not sure how I'm going to get it all back together again. I've got parts from Steiner as well, but they don't seem to fit my tractor. Being old like it is--there's lots of history and previous owner's may or may not have made some modifications. I don't think mine is original. . . . Fun!

Hi James, same problem here. Some of the stuff was definitely from different tractors, and some was home-made or whatever was laying around. They do have oil seals at Steiner, and I'm going to install them when I do the brakes. I'm also on the hunt for a used OEM oil pan. Even with all of that, they are great little tractors 😊

I agree. That will be the main purpose of the tractor - to tend to the pastures. Bush hogging, spraying, and fertilizing will be it's main chores. Also, hay rides for the kids and it will go in the local parade this fall as well 😊

Great video! Thanks! I was wondering if there's any specific reasons why you use SAE30 grade in your oil bath? I'm asking because I own a little tractor and I was looking to service my oil bath air cleaner, but I don't have any SAE30. So, I'm curious to know if you think 15W40 could do the job as well?

I'm sure it would be fine. I believe they specify straight 30 in the owners manual, but that's likely because it's the same oil they specify for the tractor? At any rate, I don't think the weight is that critical unless you go too thick and it impedes air flow. I would say 10W30 would be better, but 10W40 should work in my opinion.

@@PlanetMojo Finally when I disassembled the whole filter to clean it, there was indication on the side saying "non detergent SAE20". From what I"ve read somewhere, it's because with other type of oils, those with xWxx, some sort of "chemicals particles" can get to the engine and cause a runaway... Is it true or not...? I can't tell, I'm no pro. It's just my 2 cents here... But as I've experienced what a diesel engine runaway once, I've decided to get the good oil.

I'm kind of splitting my time between the tractor and getting the barn ready for it's big move - and everything needs to be done early in the morning or later in the evening because of the heat. It's the dog days of summer right now and it's unbearably hot during mid-day!

Hello, did you ever figure out why your ammeter wasn’t working? I am having the same issue after wiring everything up. It’s not giving a reading.

Unfortunately no. I got caught up in building a post frame shop, but I will be working on the tractor again shortly.
