Injector pump leak has been repaired - needed a new gasket. Was surprised to find out you can't buy the gaskets at MF dealers...has to come from a diesel shop. Gave it a quick pressure washing before the mechanic came out, plan on finishing the job when it quits raining, although he said it looked pretty good the way it was. He also said he's impressed with how solid the tractor appears to be (he isn't a MF guy personally - prefers Ford and JD), starts right up, runs strong, no smoke, no unusual or excessive leaks. I topped off the hyraulic fluid, which is what the drop under the belly is...one drop that doesn't drip when I'm staring at it!
I haven't been able to hook up the brush hog, because the ground isn't level and the darned leveling arm crank doesn't work! Have a solution, but again need the rain to stop. How long will a tractor sit before the battery runs down?
Now I see a recently-serviced 1991 Yanmar 330 for sale w/loader, brush hog and box blade for only $3,000!
