Deeredriver Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 A little while back i put up a post about i was thinking about buying this tractor It is a Deutz Allis 7145 its the US version of a DX 7.10 The tractor had a problem with the 3 point not lifting so the price was reduced by $4500 i took a gamble and bought the tractor hoping that it wouldn't cost more than the $4500 to fix well after having it in the workshop at work and tinkering with it in my spare time I took the control valve apart cleaned it all up polished the valve and honed the casting that it sits in re drilled some orifices out to 28 thousands of an inch( that drill bit is tiny) and put it all back together the 3 point still didn't work so i was depressed I came up with the idea to take off the cover plate off the hydraulics and run the tractor to see if i had missed a broken linkage or something Come to find out that there was a loose coupling on a small hydraulic line that tells the hydraulics to stop lifting the arms when they reach the top of there lift I tightened up this coupling and hey presto the arms work as good as new man im over the moon now all it cost was $30 for the tiny drill bits ( that to be honest i really didn't need) if i had ran the tractor with the top plate off in the first place it would have been a 5 min fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 For 145hp and 2wd it looks psitively huge! Bet it pulls like a shire horse on a dray run. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 That's a fair old beast in 2wd form you've aquired there Nick, looks very smart and purposeful, i'll admit I do like the DX styling more than the newer "curvey" ones.

Deeredriver Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 thanks Marcus yea shes a bit of a beast it sounds well Well what it will be doing actually not too much to be honest I Did get some land leased 25 acres of arable ground so one of its jobs will be on a 30ft field cultivator ( see how she likes that ) hehehe Also i have about 80 acres of grass for hay so i will use her on a 16ft mower conditioner raking the hay and also on a round baler All these machines are owned by my boss who said i could use anytime So in return i will him use her on a 13'' 90ft grain auger at harvest time to fill the grain bins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeredriver Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 well took the old girl out for a real workout pulling a 30ft field cultivator i know the grass got a bit too long but my boss's crops come first so getting the wheat cut was number 1 job then it rained 5 inches over 2 weeks so i had to wait for it too dry up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickheff89 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 now theres a great example of good old fashioned horse power. At the moment where im working we have a deutz agrostar 6.31 which is rated at around 145hp and it frove a 4m one pass combination till about 4 years ago, class considering she is 1992. We also had 2 dx90 and 120. Ridiculous machines. The 120 drove the drill before the 6.31 and the dx 90 used to pull a 2000gl abbey without a sweat!! Looking at yours i would say she is a weapon!! Well you may ware!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 she's a stunner... and you had a lucky break with the drybollics by the sounds of things Nick... fair play... I hope you have plenty of fun with her... she looks like a real sturdy lady as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeredriver Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Thank you Mr Ferguson :) I have been using her a bit as of late in my spare time after work I got my hay mowed with her a 16ft New Holland moco that was good fun did about 30 acres for my boss for letting me use the mower and about 30 for myself I have also had her on the cultivator again and got the last pass on my fallow ground ready for wheat to be planted in about a month if any weeds grow between then and now i will spray them off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash 600 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 lovely tractor nice sound of those air cooled engines we still run agrostar models great tractors alot better than the agrotrons .just keep the engine blow down closest to the cab as dirt gathers in the fins along the engine and can cause number six pot to go you will know when it goes as when you start it there will be a serious bang at the start and when the tractor comes under perssure it will make the same noise once its kept blowen down it will be ok you can drive it like that for weeks but it will only do more harm .best of luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeredriver Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks fellas She will be going on a 13'' 90ft auger for a while now so that will keep her busy for a month or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
