The Latest project - A John Deere 2240

[Bob_VT]

I have a functional clutch after breaking the tractor apart TWICE (yeah I had to do some major adjustments) and I have been painting, and tightening lines.

I even have a real smooth throwout bearing that is now greasable

The plan was to move forward to the bellcrank - well, the water pump is leaking and that is next.

I pray everyone is healthy

Tore out the water (thingy) Can't call it a pump because ALL the vanes are broken. Glad I did not play with the tractor or it would have been death to the motor.

I have a rebuild kit coming for the water pump.

In the mean time I have been painting parts and wheels - It is looking good and I feel accomplished.

Just about to a usable status......... Clutch done, water pump done, bell crank done, better tires mounted and filled with Rim Guard on the rear, cracks in left arms welded, new seat, new starter now time to play with it - even found a set of tire chains for the winter.

So what to dig up? Buried treasure? :smile:

Very nice! - I wonder if we can cheat you in on the "Splash of the Year" competition

A splash though a mud puddle might work.
