Nick the first thing I go for when the flywheel is swimming in oil on highdrives, is the little strainer,suction pipe and pump set, I strip them off then strip the pump to take a peep inside, inside the roof of the cab is thread holes to stick an eye bolt into, 3 in fact these are bang on to dangle a pull lift from to aid the removing of all the pumps or the torque case, it realy is simple to pull high drive tractors to bits compared to the old style kit, I need a few easy ones to recover after all the crap jobs I manage to pick up.

The origial crank from karls tractor was sent off for a polish,only to find it was bent,cracked & scrap, so karl managed to find a s/hand standard size crank fit for its first grind at -25thou, now the hunt is on for a set of B/ings to fit the old banger, new pistons/liners + all the other usual bits will be replaced , then work will progress on the rest of the tractor.
