Lord Ferguson Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm with Colm on that.. she's too far gone.... what if a bit is missing.... which I bet it is \ From what I re-call... the slewing motor on the backactor arm were a problem... and HUGE bucks to repair/replace.. \ - I could be wrong... I wonder why it's been stripped down to that part \ My vote is on leave it SADLY :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why it's been stripped down to that part \ My vote is on leave it SADLY :'( I knew there was a reason why i asked you guys about this, i was half wonderig whay also, just looks like its been done for new pins and bushes, in the last pic, the black pipe going to the front with the rag in it, what would that be for? Would it be any good as a loader tractor just dont but the hoe back on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 It's a low pressure feed pipe for the hydraulic pump I believe Nick... they run outside the bonnet and then through it to the front... there should be the main pressure pipe just above it \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pudding Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 ya, its just steel........slew motors etc give trouble on every thing that swivels adventually hydraulic rams, pipes, are all rebuildable i would like one too, but to me they are just to useless unless they are loading or digging, great for gravel work, stockpiling...... there is a nice JD3130 on trademe too.......... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Business-farming-industry/Farming/Tractors/auction-135979140.htm the buy now price is about right...........its a straight runner, about 86hp i think, great ole duck, if the money is burning a whole in ya pocket, buy that, porbably add 1000 bucks frieght............. i not a green man, and hate recomending it......ha ha!.....but those ole tractors are nice, and restore well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudding Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Business-farming-industry/Farming/Tractors/auction-135312951.htm or that one, the 2030 wasn't a bad machine either, i drove a 2130 for a bit, understand they are a little different i saw a 2010 yesterday mowing a paddock, just about drove in the ditch when i saw it, they are tidy wee machines too further up the road i saw a fiat 612.....poor thing looked sad........
