This tractor was purchased to maintain our steep sloping land in Yandina, Queensland. I thought the price was good considering the low hours and the attachments.
It has done no work since I bought it as the I discovered the RH brake not working when I got it home. Sloping block with one wheel braking = roll over.
I have an auto trade back ground and plenty of time so I went looking for the cause. This turned out to be a broken brake shaft that is geared to the diff. I'm still waiting on the part from China (3 weeks so far).Good thing I've learned to be patient.
Something else I will need to repair is the bent FEL 50x70 beam. This has been bent by a previous owner over clamping the the bucket on something. I intend to weld in a new beam with heavier wall thickness.
I have also replaced thermostat & coolant recovery bottle (both missing). This will ensure the engine runs in the correct temperature range. More will be revealed when I put it to work.
Australian part numbers for some items as follows:
Thermostat: DAYCO DT17a (this does leave bypass open as per original design).
Coolant recovery bottle: Burson auto parts generic item plus modify mounting bracket.
Engine oil filter: RYCO Z79a
Fuel filter: Wesfil WZ169MN
Hoping to read more Lenar spares information if from other owners.
