And I guess the British can't build a decent tractor...or we don't get them. I'm sure mostly Perkins related. Not exactly the Jaguars of tractordom...

Interesting looking at what's popular there.

The 50 series tractors were some of their best built stuff in my mind and it is most unfortunate JD made the decision to diminish part support on these machines. I remember when looking for a steering yoke for my 750 in case mine broke as the steering knuckle did, It was no longer available. I found one on ebay for $400. This was about an 8" piece of cast metal.
This lack of parts support only 20-25 years down the line, was key in making my decision to purchase a new tractor. Since Mahindra is using 3 different companies to build their stuff, no doubt 20 years down the line, I may find myself in the same boat (either that or a coffin as then the issue becomes moot to me)

we have pretty good parts support with these tractors.. If there were a yanmar mod to match up to your tractor, you could most likely have bought the part from Fredricks, or Hoye.. these are 2 main parts suppliers for yanmars..... Fredricks still imports yanmar tractors,, He also is 1 of the largest Mahindra dealers around here
