This looks VERY much like the John Deere 'F' series of 'f'ront mounted mowers mowers. I have the F725, which is gas powered and 52" deck. But they also had a diesel version, and other versions of varying sizes. It is possible that some of these Deere parts may fit (or be easily adaptable) to your unit, if you fall into the parts black hole. I'm pretty sure my F725 was made in 1973. And I still use it as my main mowing and snow blowing machine today.

My first career was 27.5 years at a public golf course. We bought a new Ransomes front deck mower in 1996. Yours is older but I can’t tell how much older. Ours was similar in form factor to yours but scaled up in size and a 72” deck. The best part of the whole machine was the engine. Unfortunately the transaxle was the biggest weak point and extremely expensive to repair. It was well known as “The Ran-sometimes”. They’re essentially competitors for the Toro Groundsmaster line.

When you redid the hydraulic cylinder, there were two o-rings with back ups (flat plastic washers) in one spot and one o-ring in the other spot. I believe the single o-ring needed back ups as well. You should be able to get them from any shop that has basic hydraulic parts or on line. It looks like a well built machine that you will get years of use out of. Take care.

Throw the mower deck and related bits in the scrap metal pile and mount a heavy duty garden trailer dump box on the back of the frame above the engine and radiator. If you are really industrious you could add hinges and a hydraulic cylinder to make it a dump bed. You would have to make sure the rear spindles, wheels, tires and the rest of the structure is strong enough to support more weight.

Actually considering the condition of the battery tray, I'm surprised the deck isn't in worse shape then what it is. I'm sure the battery tray was a replacement and they didn't paint it and over time the water, rodent urine, and droppings finally ate away at it. That's just my guess though. I could be very wrong. EDIT: I see what they did now. The battery tray was relocated to the outside for easy access and to fit a bigger battery maybe.

It is a one way cylinder. Only pushes out, depends on some other force to push it back in (deck weight). There is oil getting past the internal seals and getting into the space the squishes to almost nothing when cylinder is extended. So bypass oil is pushed out that little yellow breather valve to prevent the cylinder from hydrolocking before it is completely extended. P.S. Right after posting this comment you explained all this 😮

Many years ago I used to work on Ransoms combine harvesters they were made in Ipswich England. Ransoms started in the 1800s making farm equipment and garden mowers (the push type) I have no idea if they are the same company but yours looks very much like they manufactured theirs. If it is the same company you will have a great machine because of the time that they have been making them. There certainly was a load of BS being carried about by it, I wonder if they were manure spreading as they cut grass. They also had red wheels and red and black name decals. I do believe that they went out of business in the eighties if it is the same company.

Dude. I love your work and i want you to to still be able to do. As an electrician i give you an advise that saves you a lot of blood loss. Never cut a cable insulation the way you did. Blade to body and holding your hand under it. I seen terrible things like a young guy doing this and completely cut his entire palm open. On round objects you Slip away very very easy . Cut from body away and never a hand in or under the direction of the cut. Please stay safe and healthy.

I believe I've detected a theme here. You find the worst piece of crap possible because you like a challenge. Right? I never thought I would see you riding around on this thing. With all the rust falling out and the disintegrating metal I figured you would be lucky to salvage the engine. But under all the crud there was a really well built high quality machine. I bet you couldn't find something that impressive today. So great you could save this treasure which was surely headed to the trash heap. Or was in fact actually in the trash heap when you found it. Well done and amazing as always!

If you try blowing thru that brass vent, I believe they're only a one way valve, despite them looking like a two-way. Ones I've dealt with seem to only let air/pressure in and not out, but maybe with a greater pressure they'd let some leak out - unless it was the threads leaking.

Lift cylinder is internally leaking and getting to the other side of the piston and when you lift the deck up it forces out the hydraulic oil that has leaked past the piston and out the vent plug you pulled out.

Spray air into the outside of an air filter will clog it up further. I tested OEM filters for James N Kirby Products Rockdale for car makers in the 1980 here in Sydney Australia. I certified they filtered dust efficiently. Always spray air gently from the inside of the air filter. You can even wash them in petrol to remove oil and dust.
