Thanks guys , and Tazza it's good to know your still around ... I havnt been on since my last project the T180 , which btw I've put over 500 more hours on and it's a champion of a machine thanks to you guys ! So back to the 863.... I ordered the parts from the only dealer i trust , two new bearings , two bushings , and the triangular aluminum piece , it should be in by 2-3 days , cost about 100 bucks total so not too bad . This is a classic example of making a mess trying to do something simple like adjusting the creep and breaking something in the process ... totally unnecessary but it's all a learning process . This is my 3rd machine I've refurbished and I learn more each time . My first with the air cooled deutz. Only found one rats best inside so that's a record ! Lol , I probably should start a new thread but , the parking break doesn't work , the foot pedal does nothing .... any simple fixes for This? Never is ...
