Might not be the Duetz 3006 you want, after all. I was box blading a pile of dirt with it and it broke in half between the motor and tranny. Parts of it were welded back together and a little bubble gum, and it is still running today. It is currently owned by my wife's uncle, and he recently had it painted. Not a show paint job, but it does look better. There were no signs that the tractor ever had a loader on it, so that makes it strange for it to have broken in half. I think someone might have used the wrong bolts or something like that, to cause it to break in half.
I prefer my Jd2555, as it has a lot more power than the Duetz. Not that it isn't a good tractor, I just like my JD more. I always forgot to check the antifreeze on the Duetz.

That was a great pair of dogs by the way!
