    Oil & Fuel  Can you hear your fuel pump?

    Usually when I start the Century 3045 (45 hp) during preheating I could hear the fuel pump making its usual noise. Early this winter one time when I went to start it during the preheat cycle the fuel pump was silent. It started right up though. Ever since then the fuel pump makes no noise but...

    Building a house with Century help.

    I have been really busy this summer building our new house and have not posted any pictures since spring so here are just a couple to catch everyone up. Here the Century was delegated to a tow vehicle. It worked great for pulling this boom which would reach 36' up and able to maneuver around...

    Twin Cubs

    I would like to thank everyone for the advise given on the Cub Site. I recently bought a Z-force 44 ZTR and couldn't be happier with it. It is all I wanted in a ZTR. I purchased it from Lowes and they gave me 10% off for it and only took 4 days to receive. I have had it for a month now. I...

    Busy day for the Century 3045

    Started digging the basement today and I was moving some round bales and thought this was a pretty neat picture. There has been some discussion on some of the boards about moving round bales with a CUT. The 3045 does a good job moving the bales and is very stable. I have mostly gentle rolling...

    Branson/Century/Zetor sales numbers?

    There have been a lot of posts lately about brand x having certain amount of percentage of U.S. sales and so many units being sold, which got me wondering. How many tractos do Branson/Century/Zetor sell approximately in the U.S. and how does their track record look in the amount of growth...

    Extra built in reverse wiring.

    On my Century 3045 I had noticed 3 wires under the fender on the "drivers side" that are in the wiring bundle for the back lights that are not used. Two of the wires have male ends and one has a female end. Curious I put a meter to these wires. Of course the two male wires were ground wires...

    What is the best way to rotary cut big stuff?

    I have some clumps of sumac bushes up to 7' high and 1 1/2 inch in diameter (most smaller though) I would like to get rid of. What is the best way? I have a Century 3045 (45 hp) tractor with a 6' rotary cutter. With the old 9n and 4 foot cutter you would run out of power so you never got...

    New Century 3045 arrived- Again

    After reading as much as I could about tractors for a long, long, long time, looking at the blue, orange and green tractors, recovering from sticker shock, then looking at Kioti and Century and reading the great comments about both. I went with the Century 3045, C-50 HL loader and R4's. The...
