After talking about it longer than some lads talk about trailers we bought a 7610 last week. Drove it home yesterday and started making a list of things that need doing.
Nothing major but lots of little things which I might need some advice on.
Have a owners manual in the post and need to pickup a workshop manual at some stage.
One of the axle kingpins has a little play, is this just a case of removing the two kingpins and pulling the hub outwards to replace the bearings or do I have to do something to disconnect the half shaft? (ZF axle)
Front axle/hub oils, I assume a good idea to change these as a matter of course?
Does this fuel filter look right? I'd have thought it should have twins or a bigger single? (Need to tidy that sh*tty wiring too)
Does the PTO have a seal or would the dry oil below it just be from changing PTO speeds?
The hand throttle is doing 200 RPM less than the foot which is a fair load on the right foot so something needs tweaking in there.
Seat is wrecked, I have a slightly better one in the shed but might go mad and get one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tractor-...SE-XL-DAVID-BROWN-J-DEERE-MASSEY/253702152942
What's the story with Beacons? Do you need one or two legally these days? (I think two might look ridiculous on it)
Longer term the interior needs a retrim but theres no mad rush on that.
