Because our governments and big oil are shady and the biggest criminals there are. LOL

Up until 2005 diesel engine manufacturers made great strides in increasing the fuel economy and exhaust emissions of their engines. Unmodified diesel engines no longer made smoke like the old mechanically injected engines. Manufacturers could have kept perfecting that even more, until the EPA...

My body is already full of toxins after 40 years of running trucks and spraying the dump boxes with diesel fuel in the wind every day loading asphalt. And tearing strips of real asbestos my dad brought home to his welding shop from the steel mill, and lining the doors of the all the wood stoves...

Like I said before, every time I start my old diesels and they fill the barn with smoke that burns my eyes, it brings me tears of joy. LOL

Don't want to cut off my nose, then I wouldn't be able to smell all my wonderful diesel fuel and diesel exhaust fumes.

Just a thought since I saw the title of this thread again. We could EASILY have 58 MPG diesel vehicles right now if the government didn't hamper manufacturers with problematic emissions systems.

Lots of Allis knowledge there. And sources for parts. JUST DO IT!! That's what I do, LOL

Have you been here Arly? https://www.allischalmers.com/forum/forums.html

One thing I should have added. If you register and use Mecum's site to search past sale prices on tractors, it gives you as good "real" value before all these covid pricing dreamers came into the picture. Today people tend to pic the highest sale price they have ever seen on a museum piece and...

Ya, couldn't use that method there. Unless I removed the injection pump, LOL But I have made gaskets in the past for bigger stuff.

Yes, I've done that also. I just tried to get one quick. Was right between tractor shows and I had taken the inspection cover off the Simms pump to inspect and clean the vent and then had a slight drip overnight after that. So had to redo it again. It's like a square rubber gasket.

Yes that is correct also. Ford wanted out of tractor business so sold New Holland, which kept Ford designs and products to Fiat. Did I word it right that time? LOL Or basically Ford bought New Holland, then eventually merged all their stuff under the NH name and sold to Fiat. Something like...

There are no 175 diesels listed on Machinery Pete, but 3 170's and they range from $5900 to one that doesn't look any nicer than the ones you showed Arly and they want $12,500 for it. I also like to use Mecum Gone Farming auctions web site and see what auction prices ranged over the years.

Mostly China on EVERYTHING you buy. Even out Cat equipment at the mine....you look all over it and all kinds of parts and all hydraulic fittings have "made in China" stamped on them.

Just check where the valve stem is in the rear rims and make sure they are not starting to rot. The rear rims are about the most expensive pieces you would ever have to replace on those tractors.

Grab them both now!!

Other than the whole tractor is in it's work clothes but it will have two shiny rims, LOL Saving that restoration for my retirement project so I can take my time and go right through it. Motor is already rebuilt.

I can't remember, but are they like Kubota where they make their loaders and backhoes in the USA, and the tractor is just assembled here?

Just to expand on that, Ford used Shibaura to build their small compacts. Then Ford bought New Holland (and Versatile) but ended up selling both and New Holland went to Fix It Again Tony (Fiat) where it was merged with Case IH. I "think" you should be okay with parts for that for now? But...

In a way, I wish it did work. I love diesel, but compared to a new diesel with a DPF muffler and regens, I's rather have a tractor I can start to move with something with the forks or very low load chores and then just shut it off and no worries. Oh wait......I do have that! A 55, a 67 and two...

Their hydrostatic transmissions are Danfoss.

LOL Originally I was just replacing rims because the originals finally started to crumble from the calcium but the tires still had lots of tread. But once I started to dismount the old ones I realized how rotten they were too. These are sure a lot nicer to handle now though with no calcium in...

Got some new rears tires mounted on my new rims for the 55 Allis CA. Now just have to get the time to put everything back together. They are Alliance, whom are Yokohama, who just bought Trelleborg/Mitas. I wanted to get Firestone but my tire guy dropped them because he said during covid they...

I have 2 acres of finished lawn around my house. For years I used an MTD 824 Classic and 2 newer Craftsman lawn tractors to mow. For the same gallons of gas those 3 used to mow my lawn once, my Kubota B2620 diesel mows it 13 times.

Just some advice for next time.....I put small zip ties around my pins so they can't slide up and out of the retainer holes. Unfortunately this is not the first time I heard of this happening so that's why I followed advice and put the ties on mine.

Yep, manufacturers way of upcharging you. Because they know most peoples mentality is "bigger is better"

I thought there was a law that protects you against that? I know in Canada here is some law about how you can't tamper with the hours or mileage.

Really happy now that I don't need any more new vehicles in my lifetime. I hate to see what the prices are going to do now.

I love the one on my 67 Ford. Just crank right from the seat. Way nicer than the turnbuckles on my newer tractors.

Starts at $87,103 in Canada for the base model. LOL

I've read those were made in the USA by Erickson. They are the same as a model White sold too.

Cool. Just found out today. I hadn't seen anything mentioned until now.

I see Deere just introduced a 75 horsepower 4R. They also switched to all LED headlights, worklights and beacon light. And electronic 3 point hitch control.

Built in liquor cabinet.

Hard for me to do because I NEVER go to town. I send the wife with my list of stuff I need done. LOL

Could be. But you can get the same from anywhere, so as has been said...it's a crap shoot.

Too bad you don't have a dealer like my Kubota/Deere dealer. He would haul both to my place for me to demo. Then you'd know for sure what works for you.

I don't even think about brand. I've heard all this great stuff about Interstate so put two of those in my last diesel and I had to have them replaced under warranty. I didn't find them any better than the cheap batteries I get from Parts Source. Those ones are made by Johnson Controls though...

Ford blue. All my atv's were blue, and I always wanted a New Holland but none of the dealers seemed interested in selling me one.

Just like watching some of the other operators at the mine spinning the tires off the Cat wheel loaders. They just can't get it in their head that you can actually work the bucket and the throttle, LOL

Yes, you have a point. But if it's ballasted good on the rear and you just need to use some technique running the loader. Best way i can say it is 4WD lets you be a bad operator and get away with it, LOL 2WD you just need a little more finesse.

Looks like he kept his stuff pretty nice. Your Deere looks good, especially considering it's in it's work clothes and hasn't been painted for sale. Can't go wrong anyway.....Deere's always bring good money at auction.

I wouldn't mind having that Ford F600 that is behind it either!

I don't think you are crazy. Looks like it's in good shape, good parts support, easy to work on and reliable. Funny how everyone today thinks you need 4WD. Farmers seemed to survive doing everything for 100 years with 2WD. It's all about ballast. And I'm sure you're up there with those wheel...

Almost makes the new electric CNH's look good. LOL As long as they don't burn your house and yard down. LOL

That's a nice looking tractor too Rockstar21. You say you are selling everything? I'd hate to get rid of that stuff. Are you in the States?

I've had two experiences with unions in my life. Many years ago I worked for the MTO (Ministry of Transportation) in Ontario. They used to do all the highway plowing, sanding and maintenance. Just like the DOT in the States. Was a great place to work. Government job. Nobody worked hard. All...

Don't see many of those around. Got any pics? One of my old Honda CR250's was like that. As soon as it got hot, it would die. It was also the coil. It was only a few years ago I found out Honda actually offered compact tractors at one time.

Loader and box blade would be my first two add on's. And if you're not counting the loader as an implement then it would be pallet forks and box balde.

When I talked to Kubota Canada begging them for at least 30 MPH they said it will never happen and if I need that speed by a Sidekick. They told me the diesel RTV will stay limited to 25 MPH because that is the cutoff point that keeps it qualified as an off road vehicle that only requires an...

If I bought a new tractor that regen'd every two hours, I'd make sure it regen'd right to the ground. LOL

Just saw on tv they are striking for 46% pay increase, a 3 day work week but paid for 40 hours. So I guess by next year a base F150 will start at $200,000. LOL

Good choice!!

You may already know this but all I can tell you is Dearborn was Ford's implement business. I have seen harrows but nothing like that style with the blade on the back. That looks like it would be awesome for levelling lawns before you seed them. wanna sell it and deliver to Canada? LOL Found...

No. But now I want one!

There's always at least one in the crowd. Only their stuff is the best. Anyway, nice tractor CTC. I always liked those model Deere's.

Looks like your set up pretty good for any task PJRAM! I remember when those prices would have been Canadian dollars for all that stuff. How times have changed.

My combined Deere and Kubota dealer is about an hour and a half away from me. That is where I buy all my new stuff and implements and maintenance parts. For my antiques I usually use Steiners and amazon. Used to have a Massey Ferguson dealer a half hour away but unfortunately they sold out in...

If you get any info keep us posted. I love internal combustion, but those are cool looking tractors with nice features. I'd actually like to see them work out. I'm not giving up my antiques but I would probably take an electric tractor over a diesel that has a DPF and/or SCR.

History of International Harvester, History of IH Canada, two history of Allis Chalmers, Minneapolis Moline Tractors, The Complete Book Of Ford Tractors, Hobby Farms Magazine, and years and years worth of Antique Power and Vintage Truck magazines. Not to mention all my Kubota brochures and...

Also dirt bike dealers/aftermarket parts places have big sheets of very durable clear adhesive film for using to put over your number plates and decals to protect them.

Cool! If you don't get an answer here, maybe ask in the Ford forum on Yesterdays Tractors forum. They are more in to the antique stuff.

Goes the other way too. The guy I bought my Ford 3000 from had a mansion and owned a diesel repair shop. And he still half a$$ed a bunch of stuff I had to fix.

Just asked a friend to float me a Ford 5610 home last week from 427 miles away. Seven hour trip and the fuel alone was $1500.

Sounds like the mine I work at. Went to the Kenworth dealer to order a new float tractor and said "we have a $200,000 budget." Salesman was all smiles as he announced "We just met your budget!!" So they got a $190,000 bare day cab. No sunvisor on cab, no radio, only 5 basic gauges in dash, etc...

Who knows. I just know that when I ask Kubota Canada or Massey Ferguson a question I get detailed answers.

There is a farmer by me I see all the time on the highway with a Kubota that is probably a 9000 like yours 5030.....it's an older pre-emission model and I laugh because he pulls a small semi-truck type tandem dump trailer with it, with an equipment float behind that and his min-excavator on it! LOL

Well, CNH customer service actually answered this time. She was very helpful. She gave me the name of my local dealer (who was not even remotely my closest dealer) and said they could probably tell me more. Then she gave me a link to the parts look-up site so that maybe, I guess I can look up...

Luckily mine is still good, but how are those ebay clusters Texasmark? I've heard some people say they are not weathertight and fail almost immediately?? Did yours work out good?

I did a test. I never could get New Holland to ever reply to a message or a phone call when I tried buying a new Boomer years ago, but I messaged them today and asked if they are going to publish the replacement cost of the batteries and their expected life span. I explained for a potential...

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I heard that too, with a new 16 litre Deere engine.

That would be impressive if it wasn't for the return of Big Bud with C18 Caterpillar power. But the new Steigers do look really good.

I would also want to see replacement cost for batteries before I purchased. With only a 3 year warranty doesn't seem like they have much faith in them.

Haven't seen pricing yet, but bet it will scare you. Says they will run 4 hours and they have a 3 year battery warranty. I find it odd though, that they come with more lights and heated seats (where you'd want to be saving your battery) yet the diesels don't have them, LOL

There's a new Farmall 25 compact also. I wonder if that is LS based also? It looks different.

Just watching coverage from the Farm Progress Show since I decided on attending local tractor shows instead of going. Lots of new releases from the CNH twins. 75 horse electric tractors. (No, I don't want one but they look really nice. I love the work light setup on them.) They also...

Well once you get it all straightened out I hope you enjoy it as much as I like my 3000. I got one more fall agricultural fair to attend with it, then I will also be pulling off the lift cover to change my filter and put new gasket and o-rings as my rear remote valve is leaking at the base.

Yep. More and more I am getting into my old tractors. My newer ones just sit. I don't mind working on old tractors I buy, I just get frustrated when the sellers just can't be honest. But more and more I am preferring the looks, the sound, the feel of the old iron. Admittedly, I like the...

I can't help you with yours, but my 3000 diesel makes no noise in low or high range. So you definitely got something going on. I would really try and find where that piece of tooth or metal came from.

I keep hearing conflicting winter forecasts for here. But it really feels like late fall up here already. Getting depressing too because it's now already getting dark again by 8:30 PM until around 7 am.

Can someone send more diesel emissions and "global warming" my way? It's been only 7 degrees Celcius above freezing every night and morning where I am.

And I LOT of extra money still left in your pocket over new junk.

I don't know......corona virus ranks right up there too. It sure worked to change the world's economy.

I work at a mine and it is a 70 KM trip into it on gravel bush road. A bunch of miners got their big new diesel pickups and put those rubber band wheels on them that stick out past the body of the truck. Only took a couple weeks before they showed up with giant mudflaps wrapped all the way...

Yes, antique tractors are still more of a buyers market. You can go to auctions and buy them fully restored cheaper than you can ever have one restored for. Only problem there, is you are not always guaranteed to win the bid on a tractor you want. Just like my 55 Allis. I want to have it...

List them in Canada. Even complete junk I see for sale......nothing is under a thousand up here. And if it has a rattle can paint job, then they want 8 to 10 thousand. Meanwhile you see same model tractors fully restored at Mecum for $1500 USD.

That's what I always used to use on my dirt bikes. Maxima Chain Wax. But then I watched some you tube tests like the one Fort Nine did testing chain lubes and I fell on the side of no lube at all on o-ring chains. They last longer with no dirt stuck to them.

I put a radio in my Kubota but I rarely turn it on. Those factory speakers are so tinny, it sounds like crap. It's okay to listen to Rural Radio on Sirius though. Just music sucks with no bass.

There's why you and I have never had a problem in all these years.....we both have a brand new spare chain on the shelf. LOL

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just put it on and lube it. My blower has the exposed chain, I bought it new in 2013. It is used almost daily with the snow we get here in the winter and I have never had to adjust or replace yet. All I have ever done is spray it with motorcycle chain lube...

I've used it for same purpose, LOL I get it cheap from my local Freightliner/Western Star dealer now that I don't need it for trucks any more.

Gotta love these multi-million dollar companies that can't even proof read their web sites and owners manuals, LOL

Wow! It even now has "Clutchless LED Headlights" that you turn on to engage the PTO. :ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO:

I went on the Canadian site last night to look up a spec and saw they finally posted the new LX. So yes, by the time you add a loader to the 40 horse, you're at 60 grand. No thanks. LOL

Possibly the bolts came loose in the bell housing to cause that. I had a couple old 8V71 Detroits with 13 speed Road Rangers and the bell housing bolts always came loose. That would break that bellhousing.

I have a CA, but the D series AC's were one of my favorite tractors as far as styling. I'd love to have a D14. The AC's are such good tractors, easy to work on because they are simple, very good parts availability, and they usually sell cheap compared to JD or IH. It's a good thing the green...

I walked away from buying a new M7060 cab January first. No way I was paying the increase they put on a tractor that has been mass-produced and unchanged since 2013. But no loss. My two Kubota's I previously bought new now sit because I discovered using my old antiques brings a bigger smile to...

Ya, I just meant I don't have a shop in my closest town any more. I know the oil level is correct because because I changed the oil and only filled until it was seen at check plug. I'm not home right now, so I will have a look again and search those part numbers. Thanks.

No, but I'll have a look. Thanks to you and thepumpguysc!

No, I'm in Canada. But if I end up needing one I'll let you know. I can buy and pay shipping.

Spare better quality wheel bearings and shocks and springs. You will need them soon.

I don't have any fuel pump shops around me, But if I ever need pump work, I will be sure to contact you pumpguy I did ask Anglo in the UK also, and they don't have them either. Luckily mines not trashed.....I just have to fiddle with it a few times to get it to stop leaving a drip overnight.

That is sweet! Enjoy!

Hahahaha I know why now too.....my bad judgement cost me two days on the toilet, LOL Breaded rat....that's a good one. Don't forget Kentucky Fried Seagull.

My friend bought a new M5-111 with a loader last winter. $111,000 here.

21 bucks here gets you a McChicken with a medium fry and small shake. LOL I remember when I used to go to McDonalds or Wendy's with 5 bucks and get change.

So 80 grand in Canada. LOL

So what did price come out to with loader and a mower? I can't see very good on my phone. Are they creeping up to Grand L prices yet?

Ya, that's so much easier to understand than pounds per square inch. LOL

Only reference I have is we have a Kubota R630 wheel loader at the mine and they overheated it many times and the motor finally went. A brand new crate engine for it was $12,000 Canadian and no core charge. Our shop said not even worth rebuilding the old one for that.

You were right Tinhack...no longer available. I had Don at Smith's Farm Equipment, a New Holland dealer, try his best. Luckily mine is not damaged, I just have to play around and re-adjust a few times to get it where it doesn't leave a drip down the side of the block overnight. But he did...

I'm kinda OCD when it comes to that. Even one of my dump trucks had white leather seats. You could eat off the floor if you wanted to.

That's so they can get on here when they have issues and start posting "Brand X is junk!" :ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL:

The transmission lift cover is like that. Has all kinds of o-rings and I ordered a re-seal kit from Steiner, but some people say only the original Ford ones seal? Guess I'll find out next time I service internal hydraulic filter. Apparently they are all more of an "x" ring or something like that?

Here's what I was looking for. What does that mean "No longer serviced"? No longer available? I called a New Holland dealer but he said he was swamped so will look and call me back.

In Canada you will be fined if your chains and binders do not have the working load limit clearly stamped on them. All securement devices must have the WLL clearly visible.

Yes, and making sure nothing goes into the pump while trying to clean it off. That's the bad part.

Thanks for the second opinion. I'll try and call some New Holland dealers but if I can't find a gasket, I'll try a tiny bit of RTV on it. I hate leaks and drips.

Either that or how about putting a thin layer of Permatex Ultra Blue RTV gasket maker on it?? The cover only has to come off to clean the vent filter, which I have never seen it dirty or gummed up. The oil has it's own drain, check and fill plugs.

So my Ford 3000 has a Simms inline injection pump. They have their own oil reservoir. Every time I replace the oil and remove the side cover that has the breather filter in it, I have to keep fiddling with it to get it to quit having a drip of oil always coming out of it. The rubber gasket isn't...

Think I'll be switching back to chains and binders. Don't buy these Erickson brand: https://www.princessauto.com/en/2-in-x-15-ft-5000-lb-ratchet-tie-down-strap/product/PA0008204232 I used them with my Ford 3000. Four of those, plus same brand over-the-wheel straps. Tractor has never moved in...

Guess that's why I don't complain about my RTV being slow, LOL I trail ride tractors, LOL

After I gave her some new engine oil and Motorcraft filter. And flushed the cooling system. The stuff I drained looks green but it didn't test much better than water. And changed the oil in the injection pump again.

I didn't have any work to do today, my bush roads and trails didn't need any box blading, so I just took the Ford out for a ride around property.

Yes sir. I wish Agco would have kept that name or Allis Chalmers on orange tractors instead of pushing Fendt here. There were a lot of Massey's and AGCO's in this area because we have Skinners in Pickford Michigan that sold both, and we used to have Vivian's MF on this side of the border.

Don't see many Agco's any more. There used to be lots on the American side of the border here.

Hahahahaha

What the heck is a kilopascal? LOL

My dealer, whether they should be or not, sells more green and orange tractors to the US than they do here. Closest town to me is a border town and all the used pickups the dealers get go stateside too. They all have a waiting list.

No offense at all my friend!! I joke about our worthless money all the time.

It's REALLY not funny when I see the price you American's pay for a Grand L6060 then price one here with a loader and a snow blower and it is $90,000. Even the Pound Sterling is worth way more than Canadian. I just paid $107.66 to have two fuel filters sent from England for my Ford 3000. They...

I can't believe the price of some of those slide in campers now! My friend and his wife were looking for an 8 foot for his new GM dually. They are $100,000 here in Canada! They ended up buying a travel trailer instead.

I saw those two adds I posted last night while looking at Kijiji in Canada to see what there was for old Ford's for sale. There were also several adds for totally restored, stored inside tractors but the only pic they had was the cover of the sales brochure. And saw a few of the old Shibaura...

Well that's good to hear. I have always been scared of the new Case IH and New Hollands because all I ever see on forums and you tube is problems after problems with them. I never see anyone praising them. So maybe just the complainers post about them? A good friend of mine with a cattle ranch...

I see posts like this and all I have to say is why harm a poor animal. man up and go to the owners house and have a "talk" with him. That's how I handle things.

Most every one, including the owners manual will tell you DO NOT shift while moving. They say the clutch is designed to be slipped and handle the abuse. But I do know how you feel. I have successfully shifted gears on my 3000's 8 speed while moving (trying to match everyone's speed in a...

I just saw one of "those" adds again yesterday......some tool had something for sale for a specific price and then it says in add....."must sell this week or it's going to scrap yard."

That and so many of these tractor manufacturers make models for other manufacturers......you can't keep track any more.

Sorry, couldn't resist, LOL Funny how EVERY manufacturer says they are the biggest in the world, LOL

I contacted Anglo Agriparts in the UK to order more fuel filters for my Ford 3000 diesel and have them shipped to me. Thought it was cool to keep filters that say "made in England" on my Basildon, England build tractor. I did go with Motorcraft for the engine oil though.

Kubota USA site has shown them since January. Just too bad they are now the same price as a cabbed Grand L was before covid pricing took effect.

Best selling tractor in the THIRD world. LOL

Strange thing is I see a lot of this junk sell. So do they eventually drop price big time or is it just that there are many other stupid people out there?

Is it just that Kubota Canada never updates their web site or are these not available in Canada yet? I have yet to hear about or see an LX35 or 40 here yet.

Do I have a deal for you all!! One set of rear rims for an Allis Chalmers CA. Mint shape, just needs some paint. Tires still inflated with tubes full of calcium Asking $5000.00 They don't make these every day you know. I know what I got! Bahahahahaha

Hahahahaha. They're just looking for a nice tractor in someones yard to take a pic of, LOL

Only because you said the guy isn't very mechanical, I have to ask, did anyone fill the fuel recently? I just found out the gasket on my 3000 diesel's filler cap doesn't seal very well any more. I filled my tank right up before the last tractor parades I went in, and by the time I trailered it...

You know, I see the same thing with dealers even on Marketbook/Tractorhouse, etc. I've been looking at Ford cab tractors and the older Boomer 3045/3050 tractors on there. You find ones that are all painted up and look brand new on the outside, then you get to the interior pics and they are...

Glad it worked out sd455dan. Here's a story from the other side.....selling. I once put a 1984 Ford F150 for sale at the end of my driveway. Only about 300 feet from the house, but in plain view. We were all home. I saw a guy stop to look at it and he was spending a strange amount of time...

Hahahaha

So take those and add 10 grand for your backhoe and implements.

It really depends on how well you like your neighbor and if you WANT to give him a deal, LOL.

You can get exactly what you paid for it new. I was going to trade in my 2020 Kubota and the DEALER was going to give me what I paid new for it. Only the implements depreciated a bit. And a dealer still has to make money reselling it. So that shows you what strange times we are in.

Is the 6060 really on back order or is that dealer just trying to sell you the 5460 they have sitting there? Play like it's really not what you want but you can live with it if they sweeten the deal even more.

I'll be back to work. I had to choose between Prince and Laird and I chose Prince because I'd rather drive my tractor than sit around with a bunch of car guys. They aren't having the tractor pulls this year at Laird?? I never saw any mention of that this year. I'm going to try and get to Bruce...

It has brakes now, new return springs, new 3 point levelling box/lift arm, I fixed all the oil leaks, has a working light switch, new fluids and filters. Relatively minor stuff and not a big deal, except for when the seller tells you over and over "totally restored, all new parts. All new...

And I wasn't the only blue Ford. A 2000 gasser. And a David Brown.

And because I also like and own Massey's here are some I saw at the show.

Very nice looking Case.

Well no, I just made this post because I'm sick of 80% of humanity nowadays. That's my only point. I still wanted the tractor and it's 100% better now that I went through it. I realize everyone wants to make a buck, but it's just disheartening how dishonest everyone is today.

Well, I've always been in the trucking business, so I have been in some bad financial times in the past. So what I learned to do is save a payment every month, then when I have the cash, go buy it. Makes it a bit easier to swallow. And don't have to worry about interest rates.

Ya, like I said, I wanted it anyway so I didn't bother checking too much. After driving nine hours I wasn't coming home empty. He seemed trustable and he owns a diesel repair shop so I thought I could take his word for it all being serviced. I had another tractor lined up from another tractor...

So I keep watching the Mecum Gone Farming auctions on RFD and keep trying to get the time to go to one. Anyone ever go to one? Is it safer buying a tractor from there, seeing as how they are mostly all restored from private collections? Or is there a lot of painted up junk you have to watch for...

I have a friend looking for a GM/Chev 2500. One was on my road for sale. So he asked me to go look. Here where I am, you cannot get a safety if the rocked panels are rotten. Well the whole bottom of this thing was rotten, the frame was rotten and it said "certified" so obviously he has a...

Maybe Roustabout is not being ignorant.....might have just come off that way in writing?? But the main points here are just because they are slow and heavy, doesn't make them junk or a failure. It's all about picking the right machine for the right application. When I go on 100 mile rides with...

For the record, I only buy new stuff when it comes to vehicles and new tractors, etc. Because I don't trust people. But unfortunately when you like 40 plus year old tractor collecting, you have no choice but to buy used. I bought a tractor off a facebook antique tractor site. Talked to the...

Yes, M7 made in France. Kubota engines. I think only vendor part is the CVT transmission in them, I think it is ZF? Yes, Buhler Versatile never gave any reasons for this decision, but I would think it is to try and distance themselves from being all Russian to stay neutral? To date they haven't...

The Cummins powered M8 is made by Versatile in Winnipeg Canada. Interestingly Versatile was just in the news, looking for someone to buy them. No real details, but they were bought years ago by Russia and they made some board changes after the war in Ukraine started. Wonder if Kubota will step...

Canadian site is just as bad. They never update it. Still doesn't even have the new LX models on there. Only thing they ever seem to update is the constantly rising prices.

Try Stufff, it smells better than them all AND you can eat it, LOL It's food grade canola spray. I'm giving it another vote now that I had a chance to actually use it to get the rusted seized power adjust rims off my Allis. Then I had some duct tape I had to remove so I sprayed it with Stufff...

That is absolutely awesome!!!!

Bummer your well cprapped out and you gotta sell stuff. I hadn't heard of those before. Only the Sherman over/under. Your lucky you can get someone to drill your well. Up here where I live there are only two well drilling companies left and they are booking 6 to 8 months out. Leaving lots of...

Holy! Ya, I bet those can be pretty dangerous. Was just reading that even our mountain lions will stay away from large boars.

Thanks for the offer, but I never seem to get away very far from here. I have heard the FPT engines are pretty solid. I know their 6.7 is pretty much on par with the ISB 6.7 Cummins. Those wild hogs are a big problem. I even heard they are spreading up this way in my neck of the woods now...

The way it should be. I've always said.....how many of these mass killings you think there would be if all the good, sane people carried. Situations would be ended quick. Sure is a good looking tractor. Hope it serves you well. I guess that would be an FPT engine?

They are the answer if you own a crane company.....they have a full time job around here at our couple year old wind farm that already has them failing and falling from the sky on a weekly basis, LOL

H Here in Can'tada I'd have to use the bucket to kill things, LOL Very nice looking tractor! That would look sweet with my old blue Ford.

I went to my local trading post to get gas and the young girl that was attending the gas pump was actually one of the smartest teens I have talked to. And I'm equally as proud of our local school that is apparently not pushing the brainwashing agenda. We were making small talk about the price...

I'm with some of the others here. The old design looks better.

I haven't tried the latest STIHL's, but my mechanic friend told me "don't ever get rid of your old STIHL's"

Mine "looked" the same, just rotted around the stems. But then a couple weeks ago the one rim just fell apart and crushed while driving it, LOL Tires are still full of calcium though, must be tubed. I did find all my answers thanks to some members on the Allis Chalmers Forum. Even linked me to...

I have heard that too, that some ferries and tunnels are already banning electric vehicles. Other one I just heard the other day for the first time on Real Ag Radio, was that Ford had stopped producing the F150 Lightning for a while, because they admitted problems with the battery. Apparently...

Just do like me, write your own name on the ballot and drop it in. LOL

I have and swore by STIHL. But my Kubota dealer got me to try Echo and so far they have been great. Same reliability as my STIHL's. When I first saw Echo, I thought they were some "cheapy" brand. But they are quality made in Japan. My small engine mechanic is telling me the new emission...

This is the worst part of my CA. The calcium just killed those rims. I have been using it like that ever since I got it, just because I knew it wasn't going to be a fun job, but they finally started to crumble a couple weeks ago while I was driving it, LOL

I want to ask some advice as maybe someone will have better ideas. I need to get these apart as I have brand new power adjust rims for it. I got everything lose, except the locks. I currently have them soaked in Shop Stufff (a canola based penetrating fluid) and Krown penetrating fluid. I don't...

Hopefully he won't be around much longer.
