Roy, We had ours for 25 years, never had a problem with it. The fella that bought it new had a leaky top radiator tank, decided to remove it himself and get it soldered and shoved a piece of rag in the intake manifold, then assembled it and put hose back on. Started engine and it missed and he thought he cooked it or had blown a head gasket, he was planting his sugar cane crop and needed a tractor fast, so traded it in on a new 1105. I was serving my apprenticeship at the time and had the job of dismantling the engine, found the rag wedged tight in the manifold starving the engine for air. The boss said we may as well replace rings and bearings while were at it, told dad and we purchased a 4 year old 1100 with 800 genuine hours for $8750. Best investment ever, as it was as honest as the day is long. We only ever put an 80" Howard hoe on it @ 1000 rpm. It was a Western model, 18.4.x 38 tyres on the rear, and 7.50x18 on the front(it was a row crop model), all the others in the district were a lot wider and wouldnt fit in the cane rows as good. It did not have a diff lock, the others in the district did, anyway, cheers for now from down under, Roy, sibby.
