I'm new here so, G'day All.
I've recently acquired my first Chamberlain, a C670, circa 1975 from it's late serial number. It's generally in good condition with 1880 hours on the meter (tho' who knows how many years the tacho cable has been broken...) For the last decade it's been used only for slashing but maintenance seems to have been a bit sparse - it got a hell of a shock when I got a grease gun put of the shed and headed towards it!
However the bodywork has a bit of rust in it that I'll be trying to repair and then paint. So can any of you learned gurus of matters tractor related tell me the correct paint code for the
yellow Chamberlain paint used in the 1970s, please?
The other concern is a alarmingly loud noise/vibration in the drive line. It's worse in intermediate range than high range at the same ground speed. So it's worse when the prop shaft is spinning faster. I'm hoping it may be only crappy uni joints but then it could be in the secondary gearbox (high range is direct, intermediate is through the gear train...) Are there any known weaknesses in the secondary 'boxes on these tractors?
Thanks in advance.
Ian
