Heli-coils should not be needed. The holes that are worn oversize are not tapped. they are the drilled ones that go through the frame, not the tapped ones in the block. The top two holes in the front of the engine still look good, just no studs in them. I'll know more a little later. I hope to get the rods cut off the bolts heads tonight so I can back them out to remove the frame. Yoop, I found a pic of one of those brackets on line. I still would like to see how you modded yours though. Denny

Subject: Loose front end.

Description: <br>Here is a shot inside the frame from the front :-0 ! The front has nothing holding it together! Top two studs are missing, bottom two are junk and no nuts on them. The two welds just under those studs are broken as well. All the bolt holes in the front and the eight on the sides are worn elongated. I plan to weld them up and redrill to the correct size before I put new hardware.

Those car-b-q jobs are meant to be used with engines and trans ect removed. I looked at them a while back.

Also the "tall" jack stands I've seen are not rated to hold a car. A buddy of mine has a two post hoist and uses those stands to hold up exhaust pipes and gas tanks ect. That's all they are intended for. BE CAREFUL!

I'd watch Craigslist and e-pay for a used hoist. Folks are hurtin fer cash nowadays. Once you use one, you'll find it was way worth the investment. Don't be afraid to post a wanted ad either. Good luck, Denny

Subject: 7235 The day we hauled her home..

Description: <br>This is a shot of the 7235 still on the trailer when we got it home. We drove from Warren (eastern) Ohio to home (just north of Green Bay Wisconsin) only stopping for fuel and food. We left Warren at 1:30pm Saturday, and were home by 2:30am Sunday. BONZI!

Description: <br>This is another shot of the 154 when we were hanging trusses. The counter weights are from the front of a 970 Case. This tractor was sooo handy, but I just outgrew it. Hated to see it go.

Ok folks. It's been about a year since I used that cheap off the shelf parts store fuel pump for my tractor, and it is still working perfect! If anybody needs a lift pump, I would recomend the Mr Gasket. I moved snow all last winter (and a lot of it), and mowed all summer, and everything else in between without trouble. Saved a wad of cash ta boot too! Denny

I just did this using the diagram I found here. Starts every time without fail. I used a $5.00 relay from Fleet&Farm. It came with instructions for hook up on the package. If you're super tight, a relay from a car with an electric fan works too and could be pulled from a junk yard for a buck er 2. Horn relay ect all the same. Take a few inches of wire with the plug when you snip it out and you only have to crimp a few ends on. I zip-tied mine to the wire harness inches from the starter and grounded it to the screw that holds the side cover for the dash. Done! Good Luck. Denny

Can anyone tell me where the valve is located and hooked up to for the hydraulic deck lift on a 7235? I do not have aux hydraulics on the rear. I do have a valve body on the right side near the brake pedals. This is where the loader lines attach. Rear aux would be great too. For things like rotating the chute on a snowblower. Any info would be great. I have two dealers within 6 miles. If I'm not buying a new tractor from them, they won't help me. I'm hoping one of you folks will. Thanks, Denny

No rear port on the tractor now. all of the hydraulics for the 3pt are internal. nothing to tap into there. It seems as though it would have plenty of flow if you look at the speed that the loader goes up and down. I know that the volume of 2 2" cylinders is not that of a 4", but I'm running the splitter off of my 154 loboy with no trouble. Maybe a power beyond at the loader line? I've seen the exploded view of the aux valve assy, and it has 3 ports built into the system. If I knew which of the three ports was supply, return, etc, I would tap into the side of the rear end where the aux valve mounts and plumb to a valve like they carry at surpluscenter or the local supply house.
Being a machinist by trade I'm not afraid to build my own or adapt something. I just thought that the salvage yard has been a cheap out for parts in the past. None of them in my area carry compact tractors though. Where do these things go when they poop out? Thanks for the replies. Denny

Hi All,
New to the group and saw this post. Whew! Could someone send me a diagram for the poor start condition? My 7235 has been clicking to start nearly every time since I bought it in May. Thanks. Hope to spend time here because I want to, not need to. Denny
