Great video, thank you for sharing. You are a great teacher and explain step by step. Easy to follow narration and camera work. Love your attention to detail. We all learned something we can use. This tractor should run many years !
Awesome video. It was refreshing to see you take the time to redo the wiring harness instead of a hack job. I would get a operator's manual so you know the proper fluids, grease points, and maintenance intervals. The manual should also have the exact procedure for checking fluid levels and if there are internal filters for the hydraulic system. It might be a good idea to change the hydraulic oil filter and grease the fittings after sitting for so long. Another tip is to make sure filter gaskets come off with the old filter or the new filter wont seal properly.
When you started redoing the entire wiring harness, due to what looked like mouse damage, I thought (why not just buy a new one). Quick search found that they want over $1100 for the harness. And I'm pretty sure your family would not have been as involved if you had just purchased a new one. Well done. Oh, quick suggestion to help prevent / discourage mouse damage.... Peppermint oil. Just spray it on the wiring. I've used it for a few years on equipment stored covered but outside and no other damages... Enjoy your tractor 'for the next 20 years'.
You almost lost me at 1:10 with the diagnosis of locked up because you could not turn Fan. The machine looked in very good shape to begin with:)). Possibly Try the Crank bolt a couple wiggles. Battery directly to Starter for turn over confirmation. Very good attention to rewiring detail:)) Best; Tom

redoing the wiring harness, nice touch!

What’d you pay for it? Just curious because I paid $1500 for my little thing
