Why not ask woody to get the agco part numbers for the 24 & 34" rims. You can then price it up from kramp ?. Then atleast you'll know if the dealers are on par price wise.
-
The ratio will be fine as the 24 & 34" rims are listed as standard spec sizes from what you've said. If you want to thumb through your book, they'll be a page on tyres with MFD, I have a vague recollection of a ratio of something like 1.4

Just be prepared for around a 3k bill for rims & tyres, but it's an expense that will be worth it and make a usable tractor. Annoyingly, I sold my old front W10x24 rims last year for £200 without tyres. Best also measuring the centre hub sizes and between bolts. Rears 150 & 205 bolt, front 220 & 275 bolt are mine and exactly the same as the link previously.

Aren't the magnets normally embedded into the flywheel casting ?. Just looking at a 60year old Kohler on my scrap pile, it's bolted inside the rear of the flywheel. Would have assumed that the design had improved since ?.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.agrisparestrading.co.uk/complete-assemblies/trelleborg-420-85-x-34-on-mf-ringa-wheels&ved=2ahUKEwiX0ZeloZb-AhWCScAKHeHzBQIQFnoECAoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3YVrW18uKKANOw3_RvuCOD This might be the complete solution, you're pictures show 8 stud rims. The tractor axles aren't valtra, all brands buy in axles mostly ZF.

So what's fitted on the front ?
-
The 15 L x 24 is the front rim.
-
Possibly 250 rectangular idiot blocks or even a dozen round shapes ?.

Plus said something about encouraging wild flowers for making hay, mowing regularly won't help those if anything the opposite and create monoculture. Grazing wildflowers over winter definitely would, as it gives a bit of free fertiliser and moves the seeds around the field.

I don't judge colour, not really into the whole bleeding green, red, blue etc.

Why have I got a mental image of us all gathered around singing an ammended platoon song in my head ?. This is my tractor. There are many like it, but this one is mine.My tractor is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life

For a father in law who lives on the opposite sides of the country, in a care home up three flights of stairs in the middle of a major city centre ?.
-
Have to see what metric sized tyres are fitted at the moment as I have a feeling they're just low profile tyres on the standard rims.
-
Do I have to stand up when we introduce ourselves to the tractor addiction club ?.

Self confessed tractor tart ?

If it was me, I've had faulty coils on old tractors I would replace the valve & coil. If it's not moving completely it will get hot and burnout the coil again, the max current draw is during the initial moving the thing, the holding it open uses very little. If it's getting hot it's not moving fully, be that physically or a fault elsewhere on the electrics, but as it's burning out it could be an under voltage when everything else is in use.
-
Did you replace the whole solenoid valve or just the coil ?.
-
Think I'd rather the Aldi special than buy anything off Facebook. Vintage doesn't mean it's better, collectable maybe but a definite it's going in the collectable scrapman pile when it breaks. Buy once, cry once as the saying goes.

Whilst never as good as a oil stained phone directory of paper, digital ones on eBay aren't bad. www.Agrimanuals.com do paper ones. That and finding a decent website for part code searching, makes ordering easier.

I upgraded my McCormick front rims years back to help with loader work. When I checked the manuals there was a table showing what combination was possible I could only fit wider as they were 24" max. W10x24 > W12x24 increased the load by 150kg a tyre and they don't squash down as much. Daft question but are those tyres currently fitted 420/70R34 & 340/70R24 ?. As they're lower profile, mine are 420/85R34 & 340/85R24, mine sit 44" & 60" tall
-
That's the front 🙂, W15L X 24" You might even be able to just update the tyre instead of changing the rims.
-
A picture of the inner dish might be good, a lot of tractors used UK made GKN rims. That and find the manual to see what the combinations of rim & tyre, there should be a W number also which helps fit uprated tyres sometimes.
-
True, I've gone soft in my old age. It takes me long enough to flail off 40acres several times a year to demand the creature comforts of a seat, radio and a cab to keep away the bugs of late night mowing.
-
2.5 acres in my book is sheep territory, but small diesels are pretty bomb proof providing you do your basic maintenance. In all honesty it's more the low down grunt factor Vs the noise of a petrol. Something like a stand on might be more suitable, plenty of USA types on YouTube flying around on them.
-
Probably best looking for a ex council diesel Kubota, four hours of petrol mowing on a 24hp must be best part of £20 Vs £5 on diesel.
