If it's as reliable (and I think it will be more so) as the iseki I'll be totally happy. The iseki, patched and pieced together, Starts everytime, (it's a pain, she only has one glow plug and the other is Teflon taped heavy so contact is not being made but mess with her for 5 min or so and she'll start) runs pulling my big disc (a 1/2 section of a 5' 24 tandum)) and runs at 160-180 degrees. It never has not done what I've asked it to do. The ford on the other hand, well heck I get it fixed and something else breaks or stops working, I have not even got it out of the yard (and I do think when I get the new starter on it will be fixed for now. But dang it all I'm tired of fixing tractors so the iseki and ford are for sale and I'm going to run the deere and continue life with an upside down frown
