Congratulations. For the hours and number of attachments it sounds like you did pretty good on the money.

The unlevel three point hitch is adjustable with just the one adjuster. All you do is adjust one side until its even with the other. You shouldn't need to buy the other one.

On the front axle, it sounds to me like the axle housing has some wear at it's attachment point. In the diagram, I would check:

3 CH14629 SEAT
4 CH13075 BUSHING
24 CH15350 SHIM
25 CH14535 SPACER


Again, congratulations and put up some pics when you can. :fing32:

Welcome to the 650 club!:fing32: You did very well on price, especially if it has the factory SCV hydraulics. I'd have some interest in the mower deck. Send me a PM and we'll discuss.

DJ is right about the 3 point. It came from the factory with only one. My front axle has a bit of slop in it too. I should look into shimming it, just hasn't every been a big priority.

It holds 2.6 quarts of oil. I use JD 15W-40. The JD oil filter P/N is M801002

Let's see some pic's!!!

I just checked the shim kit through JD. The old part number is CH15350 and it has been superseded with LVA802900. It retails for $5.48.

Here's a rear view of my 3pt with an old blade attached. All parts are factory (except the blade)

Your lifting link does look like this one, correct?


If so, make sure that the zerk fitting (#6) is in place and there's plenty of grease in it. Use some penetrating oil on the threads too if its seized up.

Also, check parts #9 and #14, the pins at the bottom of the lifting links. Notice the rectangular steel plates. When the plates are turned vertical, it allows the implement arms to float. Turning them horizontal locks them into position. This can make it difficult to get the implement level while in the float position.

For posting pics, try reading these threads. They're really good.

Do you have any starter/alternator rebuild shops in your area? If so, they may be able to rebuild it for you and save you some real money on this thing. About the cheapest alternators that I've seen are on Ebay, and their still in the $200 to $300 range.
