Gearbox Oil Change:
Every 100-200 operating hours or bi-annually.
Engine Oil Specification:
SAE 30 or 10W-30 (API SJ or higher) - Precise spec in engine manual.
Gearbox Oil Specification:
SAE 80W-90 GL-5 Gear Oil - Critical to verify.
Grease Type:
General purpose lithium-based grease for fittings.
Common Wear Items:
Blade wear, drive belts (engine to transmission, PTO belt), steering components (tie rods, bushings), seat wear, ignition switch failure.
Transmission Wear:
Manual transmissions are generally robust, but clutch wear (if applicable) or bearing wear in the gearbox are potential issues.
Engine Carburetion:
Carburetors can become clogged with age and ethanol fuel; periodic cleaning/rebuilding is common.
Brand Legacy:
Hayter is a well-established British brand, historically known for high-quality rotary mowers and garden machinery, often associated with robust engineering.
Heritage Line:
The 'Heritage' designation suggests this model is part of a lineage that emphasizes traditional build quality and performance characteristics.
Likely Production Era:
Likely produced in the late 1980s to early 2000s, a period when such 6-speed manual tractors were common before the widespread adoption of hydrostatic transmissions.
