    Case IH discount for Chrysler Group LLC employees - Who has done this?

    I searched the forum and I surprisingly can't find anything on this. Here is a link to the flyer. I called one dealer and left a message but never got an answer back. Its my understanding that most of the compact diesel tractor dealers don't really make money off of any transactions anyways so...

    Jinma 254 Front 4x4 drive gear re-seal / oil seal direction?

    I am in the process of fixing a nasty leak coming from the driver's side front wheel area. I didn't even see a felt gasket. Fluid would drip out of there like made. I have everything apart and cleaned up. I noticed out the oil seals came out - the top was facing down and the bottom was facing...

    Clutch Removed. All mushy?!?!?!... (photos)

    Well I finally got it separated. Just as I suspected, the clutch was worthless. One side was worn down almost all the way and the other side was "mushy -- like some sort of thick grease. I measured it and yep - its an 8 incher. I'm getting ready to do a large parts order but I'm having...

    Steering Wheel Removal

    After searching the threads, I can't find anything on this subject. I have used 2-jaw and 3-jaw pullers before but I cant figure out how to get this thing off of the steering wheel shaft. I went to Autozone's website and found a steering wheel remover kit which is inexpensive. Will this...

    I'll be looking at buying a used Ditch Witch 1230 in the next couple days. It is setup for 4". How hard is it to convert it to dig 6"? Is it as simple as changing the entire chain or just the cutting edges?

    LS Dealers in Michigan? Northern Indiana or Northern Ohio?

    The closest dealer I could find is in Upper Sandusky, OH which is over 2hrs away. I'm curious if anyone knows of one in Michigan as I read in a recent thread post here that LS' database of dealers wasn't accurate and/or up to date. I'm just looking for a S3010 or i3030 with FEL. If possible...

    Jinma 254 fit on a U-Haul auto transport???

    This is driving me nuts - does anyone know the minimum width of a U-Haul Auto Transport? I have used them before but I can't find any data on the spacing of the ramps. I suppose I'm looking for "what is the track width of a Jinma 254" I see that U-Haul advertises that their haulers can't take...

    Jinma 254 for $3500 with FEL?

    I found a Agracat 2940Super (Jinma 254) with an asking price of $3500. It looks like its in decent shape but there is one problem -- the owner says that the clutch is acting wierd. He says that it can't be shifted when the engine is running; it makes a grinding noise. He said that if you start...

    Warning lights on the fenders not working - what turns them on?

    I noticed that when I turn on the hazard lights the ambers flash that are next the brake lights. Nothing else blinks. Are the lollipop lights on the fenders supposed to blink too? Also, are the red brake lights supposed to turn on when I hit the brakes?

    27HP CK27 or go for the larger framed 34HP DK35se?

    This is killing me. I've selected Kioti to be in my future but I'm loosing sleep over whether or not I get the bigger or smaller one. I have about 12 acres to manage.

    Buying a "new" tractor that has been sitting for a long time...

    I'm looking at a new "lot rat" tractor that the dealer has had since 2009. How concerned should I be with the condition? I noticed that the hydraulic connectors are corroded and there is a lot of rust on the bottom. The seat bellows is even cracked and the oil dipstick's have been discolored...
