I have a lot of transmission work going on in here right now, a 4440 PS, a 4440 Quad, and a 4040 Quad, just finished a 4960 PS, and another 4960 coming in next week for a transmission,,got all my splitting stands tyed up..

And of course he didn't mention what the work is, besides being transmission work, which could mean anything. Skimp on maintenance, use cheap oil, abuse the tractor or simply wear it out and they all need work sooner or later. [Reply]  [No Email]
