[QUOTE="rick427, post: 33437, member: 1283"] Tazza, already did the pressure wash (for a LONG time!), on top of a plastic tarp. Now have a third of a 30-gallon trash barrel filled with oil and grease-soaked dirt from 25 years of buildup with no cleaning. Your mention of seals reinforces a dim fear of mine. First thing I did to the machine after buying it was put it up on blocks to check and adjust steering and creep, as the previous owner had stated he had always had a problem with the RH drive. Lag and sometimes stuttering. After finding both mounting bolts missing for the main linkage-holding bracket and also a servo bolt/pin sheared off, with literally the whole drive linkage flopping freely (amazing it still worked half-way), I put things back together properly and tried to adjust linkages, working from Old Machinist's PDF's of the 843 service manual (thanks again, OM!). Not sure I did things right and had the leak show up right after I test-drove it. I was hoping it was just a hose, but have always had a vague worry I might have blown a seal due to too much back pressure or whatever, caused by my misadjustment of the linkages. I'm more used to hydraulics on tractors and the 843 is a definite learning experience for me, ha! Thanks, Richard [/QUOTE]
