    Going to buy a Yanmar from Fredricks

    Hello all, I have been scouring the net looking for tractors that I can afford (i.e. pay cash for) and in all my searching I don't really think I can go wrong with a Yanmar from Fredricks Outdoor. I'm looking at trying to buy around a 30hp with Koyker loader. Granted I will have to go all the...

    Thrust Bearing?? Ahhh Who needs it!

    I'm rebuilding the front end on the ole 641. Got the right side all fixed up. Well then I moved to the left side and thats where it got ugly. I guess someone in the past removed the spindles and did not install a thrust bearing on the left side. Man that spindle is some kind of chewed up. Looks...

    Here is my 1500 dollar Tractor

    Decision Made! I'm gonna buy the 641 or whatever it is

    Ok, I've made up my mind I'm gonna buy that 641 as I'm sure that milky gear oil is no big deal. Now on to the next few questions. Please forgive me if I sound ignorant this will be my first tractor and I'm soaking up everything I can but I'm still coming out confused. Now with that said I don't...

    Ford 641 Milky Trans Fluid

    Hello Folks, I found what I think might be a steal on a 641 Ford. The asking price is 1500. Now its not a show winner but it doesn't look bad either. Tires are in great shape. The engine runs like a sewing machine, no smoke, knocks, leaks, etc. The trans shifts good, all the gears work, and...
