I'm still a tractor newbie. We cut with our Land Pride 72" mower deck for the first time this weekend. How hot should the gearboxes get? The mowing deck gear box was hot after mowing, but touchable, though I wouldn't want to leave my hand there too long. The tractor PTO housing was hotter...

I don't know much about Massey Ferguson's, but have been looking for a 50-65 hp, 4WD, tractor w/loader for awhile. Found a 375, not in perfect condition. How much should one of these run? I see at tractordata.com that there are several transmissions. Any I should avoid? Have these been...

I'm looking at a MF 451 4WD w/loader. I don't know that much about them, and can't find many threads on them. Is this a good choice in the 45-60 hp range? Are there other models I should consider. How much should one of these go for with about 1500 hours? Thanks for the help.

I've been looking at mainly other brands, but found a Case IH 4210 in the local area with 4WD and a Woods 215 Loader with over 2000hrs. Can anyone tell me what I might look for concerning reliability of this tractor, or specific things I might check. Is this an older Case IH you'd choose to...

Well, I've been looking around in circles for the last year, older tractor, newer tractor, bigger, smaller, and have come to something in the middle. I've decided I want 4x4, at least a shuttle shift for loader work, and about 50hp (about 2000lb lift with loader). It seems the most reasonable...

The F915 project is coming along, if I could get the tires to hold air. Does anyone know how to adjust the forward and reverse pedals? When you let go of the pedals, the tractor wants to slowly roll forward. I know it's a simple adjustment to re-center the control for the hydrostatic trans...

I have a JD F915, and have been able to change the main tires, 8" and 10" rims, with conventional tire irons and techniques. However, I'm having trouble with the 5" ones on the front of the mower. Can anyone give me some tips on removing and installing tubeless tires (11 x 4.00 - 5) on these...

Hi All, I've just purchased a used John Deere F915 that wasn't very well taken care of and trying to get it operating again. On the hydraulic overflow tank under the seat, there are 3 lines coming off the tank. Where do they go? The bottom one looks like it goes to the top of the transmission...

Hey All, I've been looking for about 6 months and have found an M5700 with Cab, and Loader, and an L5030 HST with Cab and Loader. They both have ~500 hours and are similar in price ~23K, the L5030 HST a little higher. What are the main differences between these tractors, besides the obvious...

Is there an easy way to make sure 4WD is working during a test drive? I'm looking at older models that have a pull knob on the floor to the left of the seat.

Hey all, I've been browsing tractors for the last several months, learning a ton right here, now very intimate with tractordata.com and had my eyes spinning on tractorhouse.com and machinefinder. Didn't know whether to post this in the "MF" section but I just chose to put it out in the "All...

Hey All, I'm looking at a 1995 Ford 5640SL, Cab w A/C, with Buhler/Allied 595 Loader, 2900 hours, 66hp @ PTO. Is $19.5K a good price? Front tires look about 20% remaining, Rears about 30%. It should be a 12 spd. Does anyone know if this is synchro or has a power reverser? Adrian

I'm kinda new to the tractor world, but have been learning a lot from this forum over the last few months. I've retired from the military after 24 years and my wife wanted horses, so now we have 5 on 17 acres. Here's my question: If you were looking for an older Ford tractor in the 40-80hp...

I'm looking at a John Deere 2140, 4WD, (82hp), Cab, Koyker 400 front end loader, hay spear & bucket. It is about 24 yrs old, no hour meter (one owner he claims 40hrs/yr on average), A/C hasn't been charged for years. Not sure whether or not it has turbo yet, will find out. What would be a...

I'm looking at this online. It's a 1987 CASE IH 1896 that runs but won't move. Asking price is $4000. Is this worth looking at. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.
