I'm thinking of getting a long 900. I know where one is at a good price.. The owner doesn't know if it is a 1000rpm pto.. or a 540 rpm pto. I'm planning on using it as a mower for a 8' or 10' mower.. and most of the ones I see in that range are 540 rpm.. plus I would want 540 so it could work...

I'm looking at a long 900, and need to get some info. First.. I'm guessing the unit is about 80ish hp.. but have a question about the pto... is it only 1000 rpm pto.. or also 540.. or only 540? I've heard conflicting stories about this... Also.. who services long? Does long agribusiness...

There is a discussion going on in another forum about using regular ATF fluid in the trannies of certain tractors. The jist of it was that the tractors ( grey units usually ) come over, and the importers overseas say that atf is fine in them.. Yet I have these following questions. The tractors...

I don't like to post the same message in two forums, so I'm taking a chance at posting this here instead of the antique tractor forum... as I feel it will get more 'traffic' passing it. I have a 46 ford 2n and am looking for a set of front and rear steel. ( I know the steel was for the 43...

I saw a story in our local paper, where a vet was making a farm call, and fell into the path of a tractor pulling a maneuer spreader. Tractor actually missed the dr.. but the maneuer spreader ran over his head/shoulders area. Dr. is still alive after surgery. No more news past that. Soundguy

Not sure of the spelling.. but what is the deal on these tractors. A couple of local and not so local dealers are carrying them.. and the price is lower than branson.. etc.. but higher than jinma.... they look neat.. and at the price are attractive.. and don't seem to have the 'chineese'...

Anyone know if the valve seats in the 1950 model JD 'B' were hardened? Was just reading an old article on tetra ethyl lead.. etc... and started to think about 'lead alternative/addatives for valve lubrication for those engines without hard seat... thanks Soundguy

I'm posting this here in the attatchments area instead of the chineese area, as this is an implement question. I just got an email advertisement from a co. that sells chinees dozers, excavators, and apparently jinma tractors. They attatched a few pics to the email, and one I noticed was a...

Well.. On all my tractors, I either repaired or added lights, including a rear work light. Never had much of a chance to use the rar lights except the other day, and last nigh.. In fact.. got a chance on 3 seperat occasions. Was moving the plow with the naa and got to use the rear lamp, same...

Some people just love to mis-represent tractor ages... considering it is so easy to 'age' these tractors by the serial number and model number.. you wonder why they even try. Course.. the newbies get taken by these conmen.. then get turned off by a specific tractor.. etc... Soundguy

I just got my JD B last week. am wanting to get a feel of prices paid for similar tractors, and what geographical area are you from / purchased itn. I'll go first. 1950 JD B, 2800$ purchase price / 50$ haul - 150mile rnd trip, central florida, 'good' condition : tractor runs, has nearly...

I love it.. hand clutch and all. PTO and powertroll work fine. I only have time for one pic right now, but more will follow. Soundguy

I've got an old tractor with a slow leak in a rear. I simply don't have the time to tear it down to re-tube.. or pay for a 'farm call' from the local tire store... At this point.. I doubt if I could get the rim off the axle judging by condition. Or that the tire would survive being remounted...

Ok, here we go. At work, we use 21 cy aluminum dump trailers to haul dirt, etc. The other day a backhoe operator loading one of our trucks knocked a hole in a non-structural piece of 'decorative' aluminum ribbing on the truck. The piece from the dealer is way expensive. The local weld shop...

Are all grey market kubotas equipped with the reverse pto? or is it only specific units. Anyone know what numbers i need to look out for? Also.. I understand that the local dealers won't seel parts for the greys. How do you tell which models are domestic and which are grey? thanks, Soundguy

Depending on work, weather, and other projects, sometimes I don't get to use the tractors much, or am using one of them to mow while the others sit for a month at a time or more. I had noticed that Tractor supply company had 6 and 12v solar chargers ( for automated deer feeding stations )...

I'll limit this post to this sub, and not post in both. Does anyone here have experience or price info covering both mahindra and jinma's? I'm guessing that mahindras are more expensive than the jinmas.. and have a better fit / finish.. but less than a domestic model.. right? Soundguy

I was taking some of my animals to the vet saturday for shots, and saw a tractor at a flea market which is situated right next to the vets office. Upon further inspection, i noticed they looked like jinmas, and then I saw the homier farm pro sticker / signs. I walked over, and started asking...
