I have a Hesston 100 90 DT and I have worked it hard. It was built in '89 and has near 3,000 hours on it.

I have put a water pump on it and rebuilt the alternator.

Great, brawny beast........ been a very loyal and reliable worker!

'58 520 JD Dad bought it new and it was our main tractor until 68. Never had a valve cover off of it when we sold it 72. If the fan blade would move it would start even in the coldest weather. Pulled 3-14 plow, 2 row gehl or papec choppers. It worked for a living and never complained. When I went back to MN in 06, guy that bought was still using it as his daily chore tractor and still had never removed the valve covers.
