Taxpayer, send me a PM

Does anyone have any tractors in stock that are aged inventory or disabled?I know of about 5 within 50 miles of me. maybe if there are enough of these tractors out there, Textron might be willing to work with us in getting these together as a parts scource for all the dealers. the cost of recovering and disposing of these units would almost be a total loss to textron, however,properly managed and with help from the dealers, these units could generate revenue for textron and help the dealers in what is rapidly becoming a critical parts situation.it would help also in heading off unwanted end user lawsuits. Guys, we need ideas and solutions here, throw me a bone.-----Taxpayer

Taxpayer-forget about throwing you a bone-how about I throw you 12 tractors-9 of which are "due". Next month the remainder will be due so that means my entire tractor inventory is DUE! Because of that, I am offering the tractors $2,000 under invoice to just get them gone and still can't find any takers. What else can I do? I am willing to take MORE loss just to get them gone. I advertise, I have called people that have stopped in within the last year, and still no one wants one. They say call me when you get 0% finance and bigger discounts and a better warranty. Heck I am giving you a discount already out of my own pocket! I feel like mine will be permanent yard ornaments. SESS is at a loss of what to do! Any ideas, send me a PM-I am open to them all!

Just discovered a handy little bit of information concerning fuel filters:

Farmtrac fuel filter kit # ESL15357

Can use Massey Ferguson fuel filters for the new MF 2605 tractor...same exact

primary filter part # 3904889M1
secondary filter part # 3904888M1

Contact your friendly Massey Ferguson Dealer ( that would be me, of course LOL)

Everybody is slow SESS. Hang in there. I know that all brands of tractors are slow selling right now. When we finally get past this election, things should look better.

Fleetguard / Cummins shows an interchange for the spin on fuel filters for the Indian tractors (using the Mico / Bosch numbers). They interchange the pre filter ESL 15357 to Fleetguard FS1251. They interchange ESL-15354 to Fleetguard FS19599. I am going to work on a list to the other filters.
