Spring is here, maybe? Weather has been up and down, kinda damp, but not flooding, not overly dry. It is dry enough to chisel plow, so lets find all the lube points and get to turning dirt.
My dad told me that you always check the hydraulic oil with the tractor idling because the level will drop a bit. But none the less you have a very pretty t dub!
This front axle looks smaller than my one in tw-25. I have a ZF-apl365, and it has not problems with heavy pulling with big front weights. It pulls ripper, chicelplow, harrow etc. With 1000kg /2200lbs front weights and oil is always crystal clear. My ford is also tuned +200hp.
This is a 345. The first year of 25s got the small axle. 7710s got 345 axles too. Really would like the heavier axle, but so far so good watching the front weight. I didn't know about the axle differences until after we bought it.
A more serious question, how do you deal with the coolant level on your Fords? Mine don't have overflow tanks so they always seem low after a few days of running them. This year I'm buying new caps so they get fresh spring pressure.
Hey Jacob just something that happened to a neighbor. He had a tw 10 that lost the oil pump twice and on his current tw 20 he had it go too. Just thought it would be something to be mindful of, maybe they fixed the problem on the late tws.
Risk mitigation. Local guy died a few years back because his Deere had the hydraulics quit on the road. No steering, no breaks, went down into a ravine. ☠️
