  1. Gear Drive Tractors
    I've come to the realization I'll never have the time to finish the rebuild/resto of my first tractor, for the back story, see my old posts, it has some history and quite a story to tell. I have the money to just pay someone else to restore it. I don't mean repair it, or finish putting it back...
  2. Hydrostatic Drive Tractors
    The Kohler K341 that I rebuilt to put back in my nearly full restored old original 316 has a worn ring gear. Anyone know if the ring gear is reversible? I have read they are not reversible on the Onans and wondered it this was true for the Kohlers too Thanks..
  3. Hydrostatic Drive Tractors
    I have been casually looking at these tractors for the last couple of years, I had narrowed my search to the 318, 332, 420 and 430 leaning more toward the 420 and 430. My buddy Adam has a 430 and his dad has a 332 and they were searching for me too. I was patient, but the right deal at the right...
  4. Hydrostatic Drive Tractors
    Prior to the restoration project of my 317 it amazingly did not leak anything. Not a drop of oil from the engine and the transmission was dry as well. I think I got a little too aggressive on the transmission case with the hot water pressure washer and it now leaks from the round plug (looks...
  5. Hydrostatic Drive Tractors
    During the reassembly process of my winter 317 restoration project I am debating how to fasten the new engine mounts (or rubber isolators) to the frame. From the factory they are riveted. I happened to have the proper size pop rivets on hand so I installed them with a pop rivet gun and they are...
  6. General Repair
    I recently restored the dash on my 317. Below are several photos of the before, during and final product. I want to share my journey and am curious how others have done this same thing. I am pleased overall with the result with a couple minor exceptions that likely only I will know. It was...
  7. Hydrostatic Drive Tractors
    Hello all - This is my first posting to WFM after joining this wonderful site earlier this year. This is going to be the start of me sharing my restoration project for this winter: My $175 1982 John Deere 317 that I purchased at auction back in March. However, this wasn't just a random 317 that...
  8. Round Fendered Tractors
    Hello all, I am currently restoring a 1966 110 Round Fender. Picked it up for $100 because it needed a new coil pack. Got lucky I guess. So anyway I’ve noticed that one maybe two of the springs are not in the right position as one of them is connected to the rock shaft and the other two are...

    Hi all, I am a John Deere 110 Round fender owner of a '65 and '66. I believe I was a member of this site back when it was called "weekendfreedommachines.org" or something similar. Looks like the site has been renamed to "wfmachines.com" so I re-registered. I grew up with these great tractors...
  11. Gear Drive Tractors
    Longtime lurker, but recently decided to join the club and bought myself a 1982 210. I bought it off Craigslist here in NC for about $600 - I probably paid a little too much, but to be honest it was in really good mechanical condition and just needed a little TLC to get her to look good. I put...

    Hello internet people...John Deere mower lovers, antique mower aficionados? Whatever y'all would like to be called. This is my first day here and first day owning a classic JD mower. I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted an older riding mower. I started searching CL and found what looked...
