Congrats on the 4000 I had a 70 model 2000 loved that tractor I think you will be very pleased with yours. The only reason I don't still have mine is my land requires 4 wd
Thanks for the welcome. It actually had to go in for some work just about a month ago. I was having some problems with it losing power. Thought it was a fuel issue so went through 3-4 fuel filters along with a tank drain and cleaning. That didn't work so off to the shop it went. They found that when it was rebuilt about 10 yrs ago they used the wrong head gasket which left the head to close to the #1 piston causing to strike the bottom of the head when it got warmed up.
Now repaired, I have been running the fire out of it lately mowing grass. So far so good with the motor. Now I have to deal with a broke steering actuator bracket. If it is not one thing it is another....
