I have a 1999 model Dr. Field and brush mower which was in excellent shape until a friend overfilled it with oil and it either bent the crankshaft or foamed the oil and wore out the crankshaft bearings. Anyway, it knocks when it runs, so I'm not going to run it anymore. It has a Tecumseh 12.5...

I assumed the ignition switch was bad because all the idiot lights--temperature, air filter, tranny, etc. came on at the same time, while the engine was still cool, and I could wiggle the key and get them to go off. After installing the new switch I am getting a different problem. When I start...

While I await the arrival of my owners manual and service manual I want to check the hydraulic fluid level in my L4310. I can't find a sight glass or a dipstick. I ran a clean rod down in the hole where the fluid is added and don't get anything on the rod. The hydraulics/hydrostatics work fine...

OK, I took the plunge and bought an 8 year old L4310 with 1137 hours on it. after running the new Land's Pride mower for a couple of hours I have some questions. First, any suggestions on reasonably priced bumpers/grill guards. I do a lot of mowing where the grass and weeds are as tall as the...

I'm thinking seriously about driving 200 miles to buy a Kubota L4310 today. It is 8 years old and has 1110 hours. It has R4 tires I think he said, Industrial instead of agricultural tires which he says are a heavier duty tire. They want $$9,850 for it. He says it came of a plantation and was...

Hi everyone and thanks for such awesome feedback and experience. I sold my 69 model IH 444 Monday and I'm ready to buy another tractor but my plans keep falling apart. I had planned to buy a reconditioned Yanmar 38-50 HP 4wd right away from Best-Used-Tractors-LLC but it turns out they won't sell...

I've done a lot of research on the Yanmar tractors and have decided that is the route I probably want to go, but I want a 45-50 HP 4 wheel drive. There are only a few choices in my area right now; FX42D $9425, YM4220D $9275, 3810D $8825. Does anyone know anything about these models? There is a...

I have an IH 444 diesel with 3164 hours. I bought it 4 years ago with 3000 hours . The clutch has always slipped when pulling hard in any high range gear. It will spin the tires without slipping in the lower 4 gears but has always slipped under a heavy load in upper gears. It has not been a...

Hi, I'm thinking about selling my IH 444 and buying a neighbor's IH 464. I'm pretty sure it is around a 1972-73 model, diesel, with onl 1300 hours. Good tires, ROPC and nice front bumper. Kept in shed, paint is good. I've known the owner all my life. He has a rusty but good condition 5' heavy...
