</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Personally, I have never started a diesel tractor without a puff of smoke. )</font>

In the message I was refering to.. the poster did not preface his remark of 'blowing' smoke with 'when starting'. he just stated that it 'blew smoke' .. etc.

In any case... Like I said. The diesels that I personally run... you can barely tell there is anything comming from the stack, starting or not.. Can't speak about others equipment.

Yesterday I was at a local farm and saw a NH tractor pull up and park. I almost fell over...it looks exactly like the FarmPro 8240 from behind. Rear Axle, Cab frame and glass, 3 Pt, Hydraulics, and remotes. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to go over and look in the cab, but it appeared to be identical. This coming week I have to go back over....I'm going to see if I can get a closer look.

Didn't get any pictures but I got a closer look TL-80 looks like a dead ringer. I would assume that Foton copied this tractor to build their 800 series tractors.

I have a Fiat/Hesston 65-56 that some of the parts look alot my Uncle's Long. I had to tell my dealer what was what last time I went to get pars. I went to our Large Case dealer to order parts. This was right after NH bought Case. He told me he had never seen and can't get gray market parts for a Fiat. When I told him Fiat bought Ford Tractors changed the name to NH then NH bought Case. He told me to hit the raod they could not help. I called the small NH/Kubota dealer that lost the NH to the large Case dealer. Thae parts guy that told me to leave just needed to put the model # in with a -.
Last time I was at the dealer I could alot of my tractor in new wrapers and blue pant. I still get picked on for having a Fiat.

Small world! I haven't been able to confirm my finding, but the two tractors look almost identical. When I was looking at tractors the Massey/Case dealer showed me a Case and said they were made in Turkey. I guess just about everyone makes Utility tractors....except the USA.
