Fat guy on a little tractor

[Pozzman]

I may look at a 997 tomorrow. Do they have a standard pto and 3pt hitch that will take any cat 1 accessory (brush hog, tiller, post hole digger, etc.)or do you need special equipment built specifically for Pasqualis?

Thanks

Pasquali tractors most of them have a standard PTO. I think the 997 has the standard, Dad bought the 986 im on in the pic and a Pasquali dealer told me they had a non standard pto but they did have an optional change over box which ours luckliy had. The 986 has got power steering and is kinda akward with a big disk it wants to wag it around. Jack speak is the US dealer for parts. His number is 608 429 2774. He s glad to tell you their specs.

I've done a lot of work to get the 997 up and running. Rebuilding the engine, transmission and the front end loader took all winter. What really remains is to hook up some electrical components and paint it to make it look presentable, not pretty or show quality but presentable.

JoeZZ, I recently aquired a 997 (I believe it is a 1979/80). I also need to do a lot of TLC on it. I need to do some front trans/differential work and engine work. Do you have or have a contact for manuals in English for both the engine and tractor? Also where did you find the replacement parts? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to restore this tractor. It was my fathers before he passed away, I still remember the day it was delivered new. I can't wait to get it back to full running strength again. These are sure one tuff little tractor.

Jack Speak in NH is the only dealer. Dad just bought a loader and a clutch for the 991. The loader came pretty quick but he had to order the CLutch straight from Italy. Hes morethan helpful on the the phoe with part descriptions and tech. his number is 608 429 2774.

I see one on Ventura Craigslist. (north of Los Angeles).

It is a 988 for $5k. Claimed good condition.

That is an old listing, so this link will likely go nowhere after a few more days.

I had an air cooled, 4wd w/ps 35 hp. It was my first tractor back in 1982 I believe. I don't remeber the model number. The dealer could not get oil filters for it back then. This was pre-internet days and I was out of luck getting one in the USA. I traded it off for a Bolen 21HP.
A local radio garden talk show host, Dewey Compton talked these up back then. My dad listened to this fella everyday and said I HAD to get the Pasquali! They are truely a unique little beast for a machine this size.
