Visited an old friend this weekend and noticed he was still using the same Kubota tractor I had used nearly 25 years ago! It looked pretty bad, but still ran great. I couldn't even get the model number off the side as it was long gone. He said he lost the front driveshaft (splines wore) so he just welded it solid. Other than that, it just keeps on ticking. Even stays outside, uncovered year 'round (it's no showpiece for sure).
We got to talking tractors a bit and he asked why I bought a John Deere after my favorable experiences with his Kubota. Gotta say, I really didn't have a good answer for that question.
It sure did point out how long these things can last, even with next to no care taken /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
