Eldridge Landleveler:
Mr. Eldridge is changing his operation. He is the second owner of this machine and has an excellent reputation for maintaining his equipment. Serial #262 and was built in the mid- to late 1970's. It is an 18', 15 1/2', and 13' cut leveler x 80' leveler with a large runner pipe.Last year, Mr. Eldridge replaced the large wheel assembly shafts and brass bushings that the wheel assemblies pivot on and replaced the 1/2 x 6 cutting edges. The machine was pulled over approximately 500 acres, so there is very little wear on the edges. They can also be flipped over.
Click on the thumbnails above to see a larger picture.The machine has the original 16.9 x 26 R3 tires which have approximately 80 to 85% rubber left with moderate cracking around some of the lugs and on the side walls. When a tires goes out, they will have to replaced two at a time with 16.9 x 26 RI .
Paint covers approximately 85 to 90%. There are two cables that will need replacing and the turnbuckles are rusty but adjustable and shouldn't need replacing. There are 4 oak boards that will need to be replaced.
The tongue at one time was cracked but was plated, and it has been in the field for several years afterward. The steering arm was replaced new in 1997, and there is no noticable wear.
As to the hub and spindles there is the left front hub that the seal is slightly loose , which we will take off and do what ever is necessary to correct that problem.
The 6 x 16 lift cylinder has some mild rust coating on the shaft. The depth control stops are okay.
On the discharge end of the #3 blade the rear blade pipe frame has a bend in it. We will cut that part out and replace it. We see no damage at all to the the moldboard unit. The shear bolts on the sub frame hanger on the discharge end will need to be replaced. The blades are trip blades but they are currently locked down . Personally, I don't recommend this practice.
Other than the above structural damage on the blade the machine is very solid. Any of the few, older fractures have been repaired and are holding after being in the field for several years.
