2004 Branson 3510
New to tractors…im wanting to purchase a 2004 Branson 3510. It had 300 hours and is in good shape. My hang up is that i was told by a dealer that parts for that model arent made anymore and if something major went wrong i couldnt get it repaired. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to TBN - James. If this parts availability is an actual fact - I would suggest looking for a unit where parts ARE available. You don't want to get stuck with a tractor that can not be repaired.

Other may have more detailed info on parts availability.

I would suggest calling a couple of TYM dealers in your area and pose that question to their service manager before dismissing it.

TYM acquired Branson.

Big 10-4. A few weeks ago I replaced a seal on the 3PH cylinder on my 1983-ish Ford 1210. Messick had it in stock. A few years ago I replaced some steering linkage on the 1210 and it was here in a few days.

In today's world it could be that parts are scarce for a 20 year old tractor. One of my John Deere buds takes pleasure in saying that parts are available for any JD ever made. Not sure if it's true, but he finds it comforting.
