The FE35 got the Perkins in late 1959, my Dad's was an early 1959 model with the Standard 23c.

Amsoil, M12 grease gun.

I run Howes or Amsoil year round. It also contains a lubricant, ULSD is dry, lubricity is a good thing.

If You need to buy tracks specific to your atv, they are gearedfor each application.

I use Howes, and also Amsoil.

Change yearly. Filters are far cheaper than an injector pump.

The only difference between the 2,990 and 3,500 pounds is brakes. None on the 2,990 trailer.

This will be reversed once we vote out the WEF puppet Little Castro.

The EPA is nothing more than a greedy out of control terrorist organization.

Quit obsessing with horsepower, look at the entire tractor, what specs do you need? Compare weight, hydraulic flow, what pto options do they have? The engines are built at the Max, then de-rated for lower numbers. Those 4 Pot SISU (AGCO) diesels really crank out the hp/torque. Do not...

Avoid if it has etorque, its flawed, problematic.

Heavy trucks here in Ontario are goverened to 105km/65mph. They may need to increase it to 110km since our 400 series highway have been increasedto 110km.

Is it the 4th Gen DS (Classic) or the 5th Gen DT? What engine? The 8 speed auto is a rock solid dependible transmission. I had a 4th Gen 17 Ram hemi, loved it, but was bitten by the Jeep bug.

Lower speed limits across the board to 65mph. There is a huge saving to be had everywhere.

Do you idle your tractor a lot? Not good for thrm. Keep pto rpm exactly where it should be, avoid idling. keep us posted.

I would not touch R4's with a 10 foot pole. Had Carlisle tuefs on our 1635, were excellent year round. Needed new wheels due to rust issues, bought wheels and R1's. Those look like an excellent tire.

Going to do some trailer maintenance on my Dad's tandem axle trailer. Wondering if USA made bearings still exist?

All new fluids in my shop, none of which are going in that tractor.

Black soot when? Its a 3 cylinder Perkins diesel.

Looking good Shawn, glad its home.

One in the transmission behind the round cover, under the left side of the cab/platform. and a spin on above the front axle on the right side.

I have an Echo PAS 2620 - absolutely love it. The Speed feed head is the best on the market. My Dad's 20 year old Echo GT200R is running great for its age. Straight shaft is the only way to go.

Yes, the M specs are Massey specs. Are you a long distance from your dealer? Avoid any of those off brand oils that you find at farm stores. If you cant get Agco oil, check out shell.

Following.

2004 GMC 1500 Crew Cab 5.3 4x4, 2017 Ram 1500 Hemi crew cab, 2017 Silverado 1500 Quad cab 5.3.

I'm looking for input on the 4540 2wd Mahindra? what are your likes and dislikes? I love the simplicity of it, would suit my needs perfectly. Just tractor, no loader needed.

We had a block heater in Dad's MF35. We also sat an insulaated blanket over the hood, to help keep the heat in. Started every time.

Any transmission shop that has a clue will replace the flexplate when rebuilding the transmission. Glad to hear they fixed it.

His is outside the specified models, he has already gone above the dealer to corporate. Not all 2019's are covered. The blame goes on the EPA/CARB, the CP4 was not designed to run on our ULSD. The models affected are… 2019 to 2020 Ram 2500 (DJ) – 113,720 units built between October 11th...

GM completely abandoned Bosch, went with Denso. Bosch is part of the problem, zero help from them. Ram is far from perfect, a friend has 2 19 Ram hd with the CP4, but because they are not listed in that, they are Customer Pay.

Been a lifelong GM owner, needless to say I am shocked at these seats. Going back fullsize.

I have always done a spill/filter & fill every other year. I have never had a trans issue. Traded off an 04 GMC 1500 crew with 217,000 miles on it, original drivetrain. Fluids are cheap insurance. Brake fluid, coolant, all oils are done on a schedule.

The seats in this Colorado are horrible, by far the worst ever that I have sat on. Mechanically the truck has been flawless, happy with it. I had the dealer do a trans service May 2021, will do it again next summer. The M1 fluid (8L45) is not cheap at $33/L, but still cheaper than the Mopar...

I will add a tonneau cover, and lay a 2x10 behind the wheel wells in the box. Groceries go in the box, always have.

Im not buying new, hsve no issues with getting a 6.2. Far more choices with the 6.2 compared to the 7.3. I do not want a Crew cab, super cab is what I am looking for.

The 6.8 is now the base engine, the 6.2 is gonw. The 7.3 is optional.

That is one advantage to me, the aluminum body. The chassis will get sprayed with Black fluid film.

The Ford coil packs are super dependable, avoid aftermarket garbage. Thats why I am staying 2017 and newer.

Thank you.

My post has been edited, can you answer my otiginal question? Nothing older than MY2017.

The FSuperduty refers to the F250 and bigger. That truck is super clean though, but looking newer.

Curious about the 6.2 Gasser in the Ford Superduty trucks. Don't hear too many complaints on reliability of them, which is a good thing. Next truck will be getting back in to a fullsize, would like a gas HD 4x4. For those that run an F Superduty with the 6,2, would love to hear your review on...

DPF came out 2007.5.

I agree!

Awesome job.

Crawl under and drain it, best way to get everything out. i do my oil changes when the engine is hot.

Nice job.

They are fine for on highway pulling, but not for any off highway work or snow removal. I'd go Ram 2500 Hemi, or F250 7.3.

I agree, its bad enough they yuppied up the 1500/150 trucks with ifs and small turbo engines, dont ruin the HD trucks, Leave the Solid front axles and big V8's alone. the Ecoboosts are a light duty engine, were never designed for heavy truck use. One thing to add, the 6.4 Hemi may be...

Yeah, the 1500 6 speed had torque converter issues. Get your fluid changed, keep it on a regular schedule.

Deletes violate Federal law regardless of what state you live in. https://driving.ca/auto-news/crashes/epa-fines-michigan-diesel-truck-tuning-companies-10-million-dollars

As is the 8 speed in my Colorado. The 6 speed was severely problematic.

Power steering fluid - great air tool oil.

The 150,000 miles is when the wet belt needs replacing, not the life of the engine. I would not have an issue owning one.

I run synthetic grease like shell, Amsoil or the like.

You are getting worn out scrap for $10,000.

No doubt it is made by Unverferth. Good price too.

Check with Unverferth. https://www.umequip.com/wheels/

You wont regret that purchase - awesome tractor.

Congrats. I priced out a 2wd 5045E tractor, could be a purchase in the new future. Here is a 5055E service video, shows grease points too.

Amsoil is another excellent option. https://www.amsoil.com/p/heavy-duty-synthetic-diesel-oil-5w-40-ado/

Price injectors and injector pump, dirty oil will cost more...

Time for new shocks...

Kubota!

You have a 7.3 Powerstroke, awesome engine. But the 7.3 I am referring to is the new pushrod gas V8, named Godzilla.

Thanks for posting these. Miss my Jk, looking at getting a JL in the near future. And yes, it will see trails.

Looking for info from those who have owned ir own both engines. How do they compare on mpg? Would love a regular cab F250 4x4.

At the start of the day, along with every other fluid on it.

I agree completely. We need to add the terms motor when talking about the internal combustion engine, and chip when talking about programmers/tunes to the list.

Here is a link... https://www.deere.com/assets/pdfs/common/parts-and-service/parts/Plus50IISAE5W_40.pdf

Exactly!

No, Amsoil is 3.76L vs A 5L jug of Rotella - 3.76L = 1 USA gallon. I can buy 2 jugs of Amsoil for less. Tractor holds 5.7L, so $59.99 for 5L of Rotella and $15.99 for 1L of 5W40. I will not be buying any Shell products, they recently tried apolpgizing for buying Russian oil - no thanks...

Being a preferred customer, i get it for $8.70 cheaper than retail. That is $37.79 per jug. A jug of T6 $5w40 is $59.99. Amsoil for me, far better oil at a better price.

As Robin mentioned, go to Amsoil.com and look it up. Here is what I use in the tractor - ADO1GC-EA

No, not even close. It is less than buying from a store, with a prefered customer membership.

I switched to Amsoil, it is easy to get, readily available.

That is absolute hogwash, ignore that bs.

I have not bought a drop of dino oil in years, have no intentions of buying anything but synthetics,

Been running 5w40 syn in the engine since first oil change. Here is what we run In our MF1635 Powershuttle.

Stay off the ground if it is that wet.

Dad's 1635 came with Radial turf tires, absolutely amazing in snow. Bought a new set of Unverferth wheels and R1 tires last fall, they arrived and were installed in July. It is an entirely different tractor, sits up higher too. In all honesty, I would get both sets of tires again, nice having...

Exactly, pay for a plug & play controller.

No biggie if no stock, will order Amsoil come spring.

Whenever I need filters or such, if I wait for a stock order, it does not cost any extra. They are a busy dealer, so stock orders are done regularly.

Most if not all dealers will ship, call/email them, they will set you up. My MF dealer is 30 minutes away, I enjoy going out, lots of nice tractors to look at. Up until this dealer took the MF line on, I had things shipped from the next dealer an hour away.

That's why it pays to support your local dealer, I am sure they would offer discounts the more you support them.

I too just got back on a mountain bike, after a 30 year hiatus. Orderd a Norco Fluid HT2 early last June, but lucked out and was able to pick up a Norco Fluid HT1 in August. I absolutely love it, it is laid up for the winter, getting ready for next spring. I have a few upgrades plans for...

I think that is why Shell removed the SI certification from T6, ZDDP will harm catalytic converters. Amsoil also has an oil for that too.

Amsoil.

L A major advantage to radials is less soil compaction. https://yohta-blog.yokohama-oht.com/should-i-buy-a-radial-farm-tire?__hstc=209128269.c6506dd71a748d9cd7ed7d492b3871b2.1640723073715.1640723073715.1640723073715.1&__hssc=209128269.1.1640723073715&__hsfp=4223876597

More pressure is not always better, you are doing more damage via soil compaction. This is why the majority of AG tractors come with Radial R1 which are not loaded. They add wheel weights, leave the tires unloaded so the air pressure can be adjusted as soil conditions require.

I bought a zero turn last year, can get the grass done faster than with the tractor/rear finish mower. The tractor/RFM are great in tall grass, such as a first ever cut.

That is why the loader mounts are bolted on to the center of the tractor, the center bears the weight. It is not a teeter totter. Don't lift more than the loader is rated for, you will never have an issue. If I need weight, cast iron wheel weights will be added, tires will never be loaded.

No weight here, nor are tires loaded. The 1635 seems to do the job nicely, especially on new R1 Tires.

A 5L jug is $60 up here, has been that way for a while. I won't cheap out on oil, not worth it.

Make sure you check the axle ratings of your tractor, you dont want to overload it.

Amsoil makes an excellent diesel 5W40, you wont go wrong using it.

Forget liquid ballast, bolt on cast iron wheel weights.

Buy from a local tireshop, when you have an issue that warranty may cover, it will be take care of immediately.

Welcome to the tractor/zero turn forum. I say go with a bigger L4701 and a loader. Price out a rear finish mower, then price a commercial zero turn mower, then decide. We mowed with Dad's MF1635/RF500 60" rear finish mower, bought a Big Dog Zero turn 2 years ago. Can get more done with the...

We have been using 5W40 since our tractors first oil change, not one issue. Go with your engine manufacturers OCI.

You can buy a handheld programmer and turn it off, but only up to a certain model year. The newer GM ECM's are locked, same with Ram. https://superchips.com/shop/f5-gm-flashpaq

Go LT - P rated tires have no business on light duty trucks. The only reason they are installed from the factory is to meet CAFE ratings. Many truck manufacturers have an LT option when being ordered. Toyo Open Country AT 3 are excellent tires.

So its their fault that you bought a Lada thinking you were getting a Rolls Royce? How long were the tires sitting in a warehouse before you bought them? So many factors to consider before bashing an entire company. Camoplast makes some excellent products, they have a budget line like anyone...

Following.

Yeah, the Kioti would not of survived either.

That is a death sentence - always buckle up with any ROPS equipped vehicle.

The Michelin Tweel has been on the market for at least 10 years, quite common on skid steers, zero turn mowers and such.

Exactly! Not worth the hassle.

Chryslers coolant is propreitary dealer only overpriced garbage, meaning it can only be bought at a dealership. They cannot void your warranty for not running their coolant, that violates Magnusson-Moss warranty Act. Prestone makes an excellent coolant that is equal to the overpriced Mopar...

The first mod to any new or used Jeep is flushing out the overpriced dealer only garbage coolant and replacing with Prestone. That was the next mod for my JK had I of kept it.

The JT(Gladiator) is far from a 'wannabe retro' model - it is a legit real deal. The Chassis will be used under the upcoming Dakota, but with IFS. i owned a 2016 JKU, loved it but needed a truck, so I traded it. I'm thinking my next truck will be a JT with the 6 speed manual.

Yupp, edited it.

Just run 75W90, you will be fine.

The front axle takes Permatran or an equivelent.

Thats the handwarmer switch, if it has a second switch, it will have a thumb warmer. Time to do a full service on it, especially the front diff.

I have 8 jugs here for 1635 spring service, have been running it since first service on the 1635. Not one issue with it.

If you are talking gasser GM, forget the 6.0. It is a gutless fuel hog, get a 6.6 gasser.

The gas Ram HD now has the ZF 8HP70 8 speed auto, won't be long before the Cummins has at least two more speeds.

I was deleting it mechanically, cam & hellcat lifters, mds solonoid plugs, timing chain, locking out the cam phazer, head gaskets, studs, shorty headers as oem manifolds are crap, and the tune which included unlocking the PCM. Add labor and taxes, $7,000 A software delete does not solve the...

As of 2021, the 5.0;Coyote will run a form of AFM. So the only way to avoid it is to go GM or Ford HD/SD. I looked at deleting the MDS on my 17 Ram 1500, was going to cost just over $7,000. Good luck doing this now, the PCM are so secure that doing this delete is nearly impossible.

Glad to hear it, I would love another Ram, want a gas Hd.

Do you still have the Ram 6.4? Any issues with it?

Thanks for the info on the Ford 6.2, glad it takes after the V10, that is a solid engine. I wonder if anyone has done an mpg comparison between the 6.2 and 7.3?

I ran a few tanks of 87 in my 17 Ram hemi, I started running 89 and it made a huge difference. They recommended 89 for the Hemi.

No, $1.583/L which is $7.20/Imperial gallon, $5.95/US gallon. Even so, I have no need/use for the 6.2. I'm looking at a gas HD/SD truck next.

In my original post I was refering to the Ford 6.2, I will not own one, not a fan of their Triton engines In a HD application. I would take an F250 7.3 Godzilla in a heartbeat. In a truck application, I will never own a GM 6.2, no need nor use for a truck engine that requires premium fuel...

No AFM/DFM or start/stop. https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/l8t/

It is a light duty engine, it is not designed for heavy duty work. The new 6.6 gasser has 401 HP/464 torque.

GM 6.6 is a huge improvement over the 6.0. The 7.3 is the Godzilla Pushrod big block, I would not touch a 6.2 with a 10 foot pole. The 6.4 Hemi is a great option if you do not want or need a Cummins.

Toyo Open Country AT3.

The Kohler 300 oil change kit is Amsoil - great to see Amsoil connecting with OEM manufacturers.

It's not the same engine, just the same displacement. The 5.3 in that Yukon is direct injected, excellent smooth runner with loads of torque. check it over, and buy with confidence.

Live in the past, get left behind fast. The Fram Premium oil filters are some of the best on the market!

You bid far too low on that 1635. Check the front axle portal seals, and check wiring harnessthat runs along left side of engine to battery. we have 1,100 hours on Dad's 1635 12x12 Powershuttle, did both portal seals and a block heater.

We have been running Shell Rotella T6 5w40 since the first oil change on our MF 1635. Buy and use with confidence.

Thanks For the info, was not aware of that. Definetly not buying a PW, it is a Ram 2500 Base Bighorn.

How is the ride?

Thanks. I really like the Ram HD, don't need a Diesel. And now with the 8 speed auto, mpg should be decent.

Would anyone on here own a new Ram HD with the 6.4 Hemi? How are you liking it? Any issues?

The bigger question, was it brought in for it's first service?

Gorgeous Massey's Shawn

Thanks for the input, have decided on an L2501 HST.

For those who own a Kubota L3301/3901/4701, have you had any emissions issues? I'm pondering an L3301, want to make sure I am not getting in to a headache.

Great info for sure.

Does anyone on here have a 2wd L01? Gear or hydro, let's see what you have.

Congrats and wrlcone to Club MF.

Love the sound of this, that 4707 is a sweet tractor.

The L3901 is a sweet tractor. Would love a 2wd L3901 gear.

Same here!

ST tires have a stiffer sidewall than LT tires, this reduces flexing under load.

Listen to you, the keyboard warrior. You ever get nailed in an inspection running LT tires on a trailer, you will be sorry. KO2 are over rated garbage, absolutely horrible in snow and slush. Check with your insurance company, you will find out real fast that you are wrong.

No, you do not run LT tires on a trailer, that is what ST tires are for.

Go Cab - love our 1635 Cab.

You will have to deal with the owner and KCC.

On the rare occasion that I pay for an oil change, I check it in the parking lot before I leave.

Congrats! I bought a footshift Rancher last fall, love it. Check out Jason Dimmick's channel, you will find tons of mods. Loook in his playlist under 'Pioneer 500' and 'Mighty Mouse' playlists. He added all kinds of goodies. https://youtube.com/c/AppalachianMountainRiders

Kohler now has a new 300 hour oil change kit. It's 10w50 that kohler worked on with Amsoil. The kit includes oil and a filter, both need to be used together to reach the 300 hour rating.

Premium Blue Extreme meets SN spec, as does Amsoil https://sharena21.springcm.com/Public/Document/18452/5a457451-fe75-e711-9c10-ac162d889bd3/b240026d-0abd-e711-9c12-ac162d889bd1 Shell removed the SN spec when they launched the gas truck oil line, it was all about sales, nothing more.

Id do more research on that, many diesels have a catalytic converter, a DOC - Diesel Oxidizing Catalyst.

Tractor, pushmower, roto tiller, pressure washer get T6 5w40, zero turn (kawi) gets M1 15W50.

It goes flat, even with stabilizer. 6 weeks max and it is worthless.

That engineered fuel does not contain benzene, which does far more damage than ethanol. Unlike pumpgas, it is good for 2 years once opened. I lay all of my equipment up on it, and keep some on hand. Even with stabilizer, gas is only good for 30 days.

The 8 speed shuddering issues have been solved - Mobil 1™ Synthetic LV ATF HP | Mobil™ Automatic Transmission Fluid GM did flushes and replaced the 8 speed with M1 LV HP ATF. Not touching a 6.2 - I'd buy an HD with the 6.6 gasser before getting a 6.2. No interest in a Custom or WT, RST...

It is auto 4x4, not AWD. Only one wheel up front grabs, the rear has the G80 Locker which only locks when needed. There are clutch packs in the transfer case that lock when a when needed. And 4Lo is optional, only standard on certain models, such as the Trailboss.

I thought about it, but the emissions equipment scares me.

This is year 3 for it...

They rate it to tow 7,000 pounds - that's all I need.

Our speed limits are lower up here than USA - 62mph/100 km on highway and 80km/ 50mph, 50km/31mph. It's 4x4, NOT AWD, its car and driver, some anti gas yuppy...

Been liking at a new Silverado 1500 4x4 with the new 2.7 Turbo I-4 gas engine. Really impressed with the low end torque, it's all that I would need. Does anyone on here have one?

Came across the 2604H on youtube, very simple, reminds me of my Dad's MF35. Does anyone on here have one?

You can buy a Honda Rancher 420 footshift, a Honda Foreman 520 footshift, or a Rubicon 520 footshift. Of the three, only the Rubicon is IRS. I sold my 2012 Polaris Sportsman 400HO (6,400km, 4,000 miles trail riding, snow plowing), which I bought new, and bought a 2021 Honda Rancher 420...

Do we have any new Canyon oeners on here? Looking for input on it, with the 3.6 and towing package.

Been trying different brands of synthetics in my Ram, thinking about giving PUP a try. Who has used it? Whats the concensus? https://www.pennzoil.com/en_ca/products/full-synthetic-motor-oils/pennzoil-ultra-platinum.html

Hey, What’s the opinion on Amsoil HD 5W40? Local Hardware store carries it. Can be had cheaper than Rotella T6 5W40. AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Synthetic Diesel Oil 5W-4

Yupp - started after the Ford Navistar Divorce. Here it is - will be released at Indy Work Truck Show.

I just traded my 11 Sierra SL 1500 Crew 4.8 4x4 for a 17 Ram 1500 SXT Crew Cab 5.7 Hemi 6 speed 4x4. What a serious step up in quality, smoother ride, comfort and power. Absolutely happy with it. It will get a Krown de-salt come spring and a full krown rust proof next summer.

For those that own or use at work, how have they been? Any emissions related issues? Seeing plenty of low mile trades coming in at good prices, interested in 2500 crew cab 4x4's. The 2014 - present have a new front suspension and frame, plus are def trucks, so that is my point of interest.

After price shopping, decided that my 2012 400HO is not leaving the property. After some research, I discovered bearing greasers for the wheel bearings. Ordered a set, 35mm for the front and 40mm for the rears. These are made in BC, and there are companies in USA that make them too. 35mm...

Ok, looking for info/experiences with both. Love the 2.7EB - has more torque than any LS that I have owned. The empty mpg, cgi block yet gobs of torque. The 3.5EB has more of both, but not as good empty mpg. Built a SCrew 4x4 2.7 EB with towing package which specs 3:73 gears. How is empty...

For those with the 3.5EB, looking at an SCrew 6 1/2 bed 4x4 (I need a 6 1/2 bed) how is your empty mpg? Do you notice a difference between 3:55 vs 3:73?

How many members have one? How many miles do you have on it? What is your average mpg? Have you had any issues with the engine or transmission?

Oil and fuel from Carquest. Powershuttle filter and air filter from dealer, I call and they ship what we need.

Are there any Honda Pioneer 500 owners on here? Would love to hear how you like them.

Ok Tundra owners, looking for reviews on the 2014 to present Tundra Double Cab 5.7 4x4. Love my 2011 Sierra 4.8 but will not be buying another 1500 from the General. I want nothing to do with AFM or EPS and don't need a 2500HD. Toyota does not use either AFM or EPS, and that is huge in my...

Looking at getting a set of AG tires for our MF 1635. Are we married to the dealer for the wheels? Or can Unverferth or the like get them? Unless the parts guy entered the number wrong, the price he gave me for the wheels is insane. Below are the tire sizes. AG R1 Front 8-16 6PR R1 HTL AG...

Spray in (line x) or drop in?

With Ford's annual Employee Pricing, I looking at getting an F250 Crew Cab 6.2 4x4. What kind of mpg are the 6.2 engines giving? These can be had for the same, or less than a new GMC 1500 Crew Cab.

Bought a Kolpin trail box and a set of the Kolpin Lock and Ride mounts. Very satisfied with it, loads of room for my needs.

Looking at getting a Truxedo Lo Pro QT, anyone on here have one? Likjesd ? Dislikes? Pics? TruXedo Lo Pro QT - #1 Selling Soft Roll-up Tonneau Cover

In the market for a Trailer Brake Controller for my 2011 GMC 1500. Which kind/brand and why?

Came across this thread on another forum... What is the Easiest way to move 330 yards of pit run gravel? Well, its easier than you think, especially when a tight area is the destination. A B2620, a Polaris Sportsman 500HO and a Polaris trailer, some time and you are all set. Enjoy. :)

Ok, who on here is running it? Going to do the diffs in my truck, looks like it is the best stuff out there, and actually costs a lot less than Royal Purple.

Has or is anyone here running Amsoil OE in a newer vehicle? I have two major stores (Canadian Tire & Home Hardware) that now sell Amsoil, priced pretty good too. My 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 calls for 5W30 Dexos licensed, only if it can be found. After some reading, sounds like Dexos carries an...

Both 5W40, prices being equal, which one would you buy?

An interesting and informative read for sure. http://www.wranglerforum.com/f5/eating-crow-fram-oil-filters-and-my-visit-to-frams-r-and-d-facility-in-dayton-ohio-111282.html I'd give them another chance.
