Just subscribed. Was also have a 301A. ours isnt a nice as yours. Outs is a Ex highway dept tractor. It has a mid mount Hyd lift center PTo driven sickle bar mower. no rear PTO or three point. no diff lock. no shuttle and ours is 3 cyl gas. However its a joy to use power steering runs & handles great has a factory conapy . I need to get a PTO. I could build a three point ad use a external hyd cyl.
Mine was originally a municipal machine it did NOT look anything like this when I got it I am lucky that it has pretty much all the bells and whistles. Mid mount PTO is the only thing it's missing. Well, remotes too. But that's something I can add pretty easy. I know of a loader on a burnt machine that with a little work would clean up good. Right model, so it'd bolt right on
Thank you. I'm still not quite done with it. Few minor things to do. Check my videos, I got another one a few weeks ago that I'm going to give a "refresh". My plans are to do a step by step video of everything I do to it from how it is now to looking and running good.
I just bought one several months ago at the auction. It was recently painted green, so it'll stay that way. My only issue is the 3 point is not lifting on demand (with no attachments). Sometimes it'll go up on it's own if I leave the lever to lift. My guess is the hydraulic pump. Any way to check it?
First thing I'd do is change the filter and clean the screen, or replace it. Wouldn't hurt to give it new hydraulic oil. Who knows how old the oil in it is. 2 drain plugs on the bottom. Takes approx. 10 gallons to fill.
love those gauges ...just got one and going to restore it ..thanks

Is the lever on the left of the dash shuttle shift?

btw- great walk around video on the 301A.
