I want to buy a 1973-74 Case W14 wheel loader ($8500) It's supposed to have a new engine and break job in last 2 years with little use since the repairs but the guy moved his office and can't find the receipts. He says everything works, good tires, just a little rusty (could use a paint job)...

I've been looking for a used 555 and noticed that a lot of them have rebuilt motors with only around 3000 hours on the machines. Seems like the engines didn't last too long before needing a rebuild. Any inside info on those motors? Thanks.

I was reading an article in the Irish Farmers Journal about a Landini tractor and they said: "The Perkins AT 4.236 engine, producing 93hp in the original 9880s, is about as reliable as they come. Everyone in the know says this will go for at least 10,000hrs without any attention, provided it is...

I was speaking to the U.S. importer for Deutz-Fahr tractors and he told me they will be phasing out the importation of tractors with Deutz air-cooled engines. This is due to emission and noise regulations coming into effect for tractors. The air-cooled engine doesn't do well. They will still...

Re: AGCO\'s new site is up....... I was researching the Valtra tractors and noticed they use Sisu diesel engines. I went to their website and saw some engine features that might interest TBN'ers. http://www.sisudiesel.com/products/agricultural/fortius_series_info/ From the webpage: "Engines...

I got a catalog on the new Zetor Proxima and they changed the color from red (Range 1 Super) to a shade of orange. You can see the new color at zetor.com also.

Here's the new Zetor website for Zetor North America: zetor.com http://24.104.29.38/ or skip the intro: http://24.104.29.38/modules.php?name=Intro&op=SkipIntro

Sorry the Challenger MT425 is 6,520 lbs. for 4wd platform.

the Perkins engine in the Massey 4300 series (4325) is a 244 CID with 65 engine hp and 55 pto hp. The engine in the Challenger MT425B is 268 CID with 60 pto hp.The engine is called the Caterpillar 3054 (may be a perkins like stated) The Callenger specs out a little better than the Massey but I...

The Challenger is now MT425B with a 3pt hitch lift of 6,600 lbs. It also has hydraulic flow of 34.8 gpm with 26.4 gpm at the remotes. Good size engine of 268 CID (4cyl) with 60 pto hp. I'm renting the Challenger compact MT295 for the month for loading stone. The engine seems pretty quiet and...

Are the Case JX & JXC the same tractor as New Holland models? Are they made in the same factory with similar engines and parts? Thanks.

The Zetor Range 1 tractors (4341) seem to be a good solid tractor and a good buy. I'm sorry they will be dropping this model for the Forterra series. Are they similar tractors? Will the Forterra be open platform? Any spec's would be appreciated. The Zetor 3pt hitch lifts double what most...

I came across this Michelin tire pressure calculator at the Michelin website. Sorry, but it's only good for Michelin tires. Hope it helps somebody. http://www.michelinag.com/agx/en-US/htbuyt/electronic_calculator/electronic_calculator.jsp?mspn=EmptyMSPN&Units=English&flag=false

Any idea why the different designations for 4WD tractors at this link: http://www.michelinag.com/agx/en-US/products/products_application_grid.jsp or what do they mean by MFWA? Thanks.

no more Zetor 4341 till Spring \'05 My local dealer said there's no more Zetor 4341 models in the USA till Spring '05. I'm waiting cause they'll offer R4 industrial tires and hopefully tilt/telescoping steering when they arrive. The new 102Sl loader is self leveling and a strong loader. All...
