It must vary by location and dealer.... I had a VW Golf 1.8tdi once....VW had a very generous rust repair warranty on that model. Mine developed the "rust" damage that was common defect of that model (Rusting from the inside out-apparently the sound padding they used caused paint wear and rust...

Rollover fear is always in my mind lol When I was a teenager my dad tipped an H over that had a "defective' loader on it. He had borrowed it to load round bales on a truck. Worked fine until we had a bale up and the loader decided to swing about 18" to the left. The whole tractor went on...

Thanks for the reply DJ54. I actually have a 2-14 plow and heavy 6' (Notched) disc for a 140.....Shame (in a way) the Case 265 cant take them. I put them on Facebook a couple days ago for sale as I don't need them.... I think the 265 cultivator looks similar, but I have no way to tell other...

I think the copper shortage was after 41. Probably more like 42-43. It was Dec 41 when we went to War.

Thanks for the reply Farmer495. I am looking to use it as a cultivator, but could be an odd job here or there. Never been on RedPower, I might have to check that out.

I've recently acquired a Case 265 offset tractor. It's the standard height 265, not the extra high version. I'd say similar to a Farmall 140. Does anyone know what cultivators fit this tractor? I would like to cultivate sweet corn/vegtables of various types with it. Is it compatible in any...

Thanks for the replies gents. I am somewhat stumped still.... Actually this tractor has done this for a few years now. When I take off the inspection plate and look down in there, everything looks for lack of a better word, new. Nothing is rusted anywhere I can see. I've always kept it...

Ok, I am a little puzzled here.... I have a Zetor 5211, one of the last commie built tractors. Runs great. Very low hours. I replaced all the brake/clutch/master cylinders etc when I bought it 10 years ago. Now, lately it's acting up and I'm puzzled. The Clutch works then doesn't work...
