Thats the same year I have, can't justify buying the 2002 book for only a few changes. Figure I will wait till next year then update. Later

Interesting that the most recent model with more horsepower is about a third less expensive. Perhaps this implies that people are treating these tractors more as antiques than tractors?

The T0-30 has both cat. 1 3PH and a PTO as standard equipment. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure if the hydraulics on the TO-30 are "live" but on the TO-20 they are not. That just means you can't use the lift with the clutch pedal depressed. Both of them had standard 6-volt positive ground systems, so that can also be factor. You would probably be much better off converting to 12 volt neg. ground for starting and more reliable ignition system. I believe both draft control and position control are standard on the 3PH. As a kid, I used a hand crank to start our old TO-20 many times, but if yours comes with a hand crank, I suggest you carry it out to the middle of the neareast lake and "float test" it. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Or maybe you should use it once just to get the "feel" of what it's like to crank one of these little beasts./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
