I purchased my 3165i about 4 years ago. Never knew much about tractors untill after having this one. Problem is there is very limited information about this particular model that I can find online. Mine is equipt with an origional loader, and 3 pointhitch, and PTO. But I would love if someone could show me where I can learn more on the history of this cool machine. My big question is how many were produced, and why its so hard to find parts let alone another similar 3165i. I did have to change out to an alternator and 12 volt truck battery, and got lucky and was able to rebuild the starter using a 70s gm starter. Thanks in advance for any info.
