Looking good, hopefully the toyota steering U joints hold up. They're doing good now but we'll have to see what they do under load. Knowing Toyota they are built to last.

Been a while since an update, but I did work on it again. Got the wiring and throttle hooked up. Something is wrong with the trans, it wont pull hills under throttle at all. Tractor just stops moving. I'm thinking maybe it's the relief valves in the transmission. Haven't gotten a chance to trouble shoot them yet.
Also got the hood on and decals. I hated the factory 123 decals, so I used model 72 decals. and cut them.

Man can't believe I missed this! It looks great. If I ever blow the engine on my Massey it is getting one of these for sure. As for the hydro problem I'd check to make sure the freewheeling valves aren't stuck in the bypassed position. If they aren't stuck, the next thing to check would be the fluid level in the transmission. Good luck!

I did top off the fluid, it took about half a gallon.
