How has the tractor treated you? Hours?
i use it to plow snow , but do use it in the summer too , its been a good tractor , i have only about 305 Hr on it , i did have the ball bearings come out of the drive shift , of the 4X4 , but that was not hard to fix , the front shaft has some ware on the front shat , some day i may have to get one and change that , if the ball bearings come out , but over all its been Great !

My Nortrac 254 battery is 11 years old and still cranking, I took it out once to do some repairs man it's heavy, no American made is that heavy at that size. At 360 hours no major problems yet. Had a return hydraulic hose from the diverter valve go bad and no one local could match the fittings, Ronald from Ranch Hand Supply had the adapter to solve that problem now it's the standard Jic fitting.
