would the driveshaft have to be lengthend or is it just made different? Would a clutch setup from an IH 582 work? but will i find one? thats the thing. I dont want to spend $400 on the tractor thennot be able to get all the parts although it wouldnt be the end of the world to leave it the way it is...

On my 100, serial #66945. On the left side there is a revit tag with the numbers 8-7-00. Any ideas? Also want to get a long tiller belt. If I recall correctly, 2 different size belts for a 100.

Any one????? Library of no help.

Josh-

Yes, a 582 clutch should work. However, don't buy a used clutch unless it's cheap. They tend to go for about 70-80% of what it costs to buy all the parts new. Any used clutch you buy would need rebuilding anyway, so if you buy one, don't pay too much. It depends on how patient you are. There's a clutch on epay right now...if it goes cheap, that would give you most of the parts.

Thats ironic- I just found one.
it looks like it might need a rag joint but thats minor. So a NF 3 forward, 1 reverse transmission would fit right in, right?
can i put a NF creeper in it? Or would I need a WF creeper?

I have the high bid at $355 and I think its going to greatly exceed my limit, but we will see.

Any 70-582 gear drive rear will work. External brake will take a bit more work to hook up. WF creeper will fit with no mods, or you can use a NF one with the extension and a bit of a bend in the handle.

First real day to relax in a month. Just have a lot going on. So I thought I'd check in. This is my front blade/snow removal tractor for this year. The Keepsake 1650 is one heck of a powerhouse. I turned the 125 and snowthrower over to Zack Zeroth for the winter. My work schedule doesn't allow much playing in the snow time.

Pull the tunnel cover and switch the relief valves,(make sure you clean things up around them first) and see if you go forward and not go in reverse. If you can, then it's time to replace the relief valve.

PS,
If your a SUPER LUCKY guy, cleaning the bad one up MIGHT just work, but the odds are slim to none on that deal. But it's worth a shot.
