Hi bill I grew up, working around heavy equipment and doing a lot of maintenance on tractors and trucks and machinery and a little tip. An older gentleman taught me was getting a heavy duty magnet and sticking it to the bottom of the transmission where the oil collects so that way any part of Metal that is too big that clog up oil passages or get ground up in the gears or cause problems in the future would stick to the magnet at the bottom of the transmission

As usual I enjoyed your latest video But I had to comment on the fact that weighted tires add no additional stress to the axles or bearings unlike suitcase/3 point weight

It looks like all the ball bearings are still in housing just that the cage got shredded recently KZfaq here added a zoom feature that lets you zoom 8 times on mobile devices

threaded rod would help line it up and take some of the weight

Might be tough finding the right pitch of metric rod.... An easier solution is get two shoulder bolts at the hardware store, cut the heads off and round off the end with a grinder. Thread them in and you have two perfect alignment studs. I made a pair for my front and rear wheels.

With all the maintenance and repairs you do yourself I can't believe that you have never bought the shop manual for your 2032R. It contains a lot of critical information. Those rear axle housing to center case cap screws are only to be torqued to 30 FT-LB (it's just aluminum). The rear wheel bolts are to be torqued to 85 FT-LB. The Operator's Manual also contains the front and rear wheel lug bolt torque specs.

I agree with the torque specs.. But my dealer printed that off.. Seemed way to high
@eosjoe56511 ай бұрын
@@billstmaxxIt wouldn't be the first time a dealer gave a customer the wrong torque specs. I don't even rely on them for part numbers. I look up my own part numbers in JD Parts. Then when I get to the dealer if the parts guy comes up with the same number I figure we're good. If he tries to sell me something different then I start asking questions. :-)

You've never changed the transmission fluid? The fluid and filter were supposed to be first changed at 50 hrs and then every 200 hrs afterwards. The red dye you add back in yourself. It is P/N MT3668.

Since the cemetery owns the tractor, I'd be letting the dealer repair it unless it is your job description.

He uses it on his own property also.

Dealer labor is going to be stupid expensive. It's already bad enough with the parts. I'm sure the cemetery board would rather have Bill fix it if possible. He does a ton of maintenance/repairs on all the equipment. With the dealer you'd have to worry about extended down time too which is not good with a tractor that gets used pretty much daily.

It is double edged sword. At that point in the video he was tightening a bolt with a torque wrench and was concerned that the specification was too high. My concern was who’s liability is it if things go south and the fragile aluminum threads fail. Who will for new parts that probably cost an arm and a leg?
@jcorbett6311 ай бұрын
@@deathk26 In the video I became concerned when Bill was tightening down the bolts in the aluminum and started questioning the 65 fp of torque spec. He also sounded like he didn't have a firm grip if that was the right force and indicated he was going to leave it at 50fp. I was looking at the liability aspect and would the cemetery board be ok with buying a new rear end. I don't perceive there is any CYA documentation and knowing how they acted a number of years ago about Bill's KZfaq videos I just felt it could go south real quick.
