I don't remember hearing about a farmer who couldn't/wouldn't work on his own stuff. I know that like cars, farm equipment has gotten more complex, still from what your photos show, it doesn't look hard, just larger than what most mechanics would be used to working on. Have fun and stay safe!!
Hi

This unit has a fully automatic transmission. The hydraulic clutch pack that is still in the unit is a big as the Allison transmission in my 2009 Duramax.

Then on top of that they don’t have a maintenance manual. They do now at a cost of over $500.

Maintenance manuals have turned in to big buck items! When I bought our 06 Silverado, the Helms manuals were $150, which I thought was outrageous. I just priced them for our 2015 and they have jumped to $450!! Apparently the increase is because the dealers no longer buy them, just repair shops and goofy guys like me. The dealers use an online system, which I'm trying to get access to.
