I can't say from here whether it's worth $100. I like people to come to our forum here but also recognize we're not the best in all tractors, especially some smaller vintage tractors like yours. I'd like to suggest you go to yesterdaystractors.com and look around there as they're more in line...

The steel looks straight so that's good. I have no idea what the market brings when restored. Along the same line, not sure of the market for parts.

Dug further - it was a loose connection for the headlights at the back of the fuse panel. Still might add aux lights.

Welcome Sir. No where close to what you did but I grew up on a dairy farm running Holstein/Friesian. The Deere's we ran were the 4020 and 630. Toss in a couple Ferguson TO-20's. Yep on Chevy/GMC. ;)

I've been checking everything. At this point, I think it's something behind the dash or in the wiring harness. That'll take hours to dig through. I just found some new high-end LED lights on a shelf. At this point, I may just wire those in for headlights.

Hey @HBTexas - My 770 lights are acting up. I have taillights but no dash or headlights. The gauges all work fine. What were your symptoms (and resolution)? My fuses look good but I have no power to headlights. Guessing I have no power to dash lights but I need the headlights more.

Probably don't even need a collector. I'm guessing those things made by Roper were sold by the tens of thousands (or more) under several brand names. I'd check craigslist or facebook marketplace in your area.

Welcome to the forum Charlie! Wasn't familiar with the term "leveling box". I guess that's what you call it on your side of the pond. Over here, we call it something like "3 point adjustable lift arm". If it's broken, you could try to fix it but a replacement should be cheap. Over here, you...

I can't speak specifically about this JD, but... We had a similar sized Ford of the same vintage that was propane (we converted it to gas). The history for the Ford (and probably the JD) was they were used inside factories. Being indoors, the gas engines produced too much noxious exhaust so...

Hey @Brian B You posted and never came back. What's the resolution?

I don't have those. First, and a main thing is to remove all the hydraulic pressure from the line and coupling. You then normally pull back on that coupling and the hose should come out.

When you jumped the solenoid, you're talking about the one on the side of the starter, right? On many pieces of equipment the size of your tractor, there's a second solenoid. It's between the battery and the solenoid that's on the starter. In my experience, they're what goes bad. Confirm...

Grab a copy of this while it's still out there. With 361 pages of diagnostics, it may have what you need. Here's a couple lists of Mahindra codes https://www.troublecodes.net/mahindracodes/ https://tractortroubleshooter.com/mahindra Do you have an automotive OBD reader? It may work to get...

My knowledge of hydro transmissions is very, very limited. If it's something you can tear down, identify any/all issues and rebuild it's up to you. I'd guess having a dealer rebuild or replace would be in the $4500-6000 range. Add that to your $3200, you're probably going to have $8000 into it...

If it's running bad, I could see the sweeping. Are the gauges fine when the tractor runs fine? I'd start by addressing the running bad situation.

Anyone else being overrun by poison ivy this year? It's friggin everywhere. I'm doing the neighbors acreage as a favor, just to stop the spread and to keep his perimeter safe for his kids (I kill everything with 5' of the lawn).

I like big boy toys. :) I'm only 500 miles away. A simple day drive so he can come in on a Friday afternoon, leave Sunday at midnight and nobody will notice the missing equipment. What do you say? We on?

Does your foot get tired from having to hold/push on the go-pedal all the time? "cup of coffee" - yea, right. ;)

Our little town (we have 67 miles of road, 1 traffic light) is growing in a good way! We just got a Tractor Supply & Aldi's in town. Went to Tractor Supply today. Not as big as their other stores but it does look like they'll have what I need in general. (Oh crap, I forgot to look to see if...

Can you see the VIN plate on the vehicle? It should have 17 characters. The 10th character/number denotes the year.
