I'm sure there will be more as i dig into it. chuck [Reply]   [No Email]

The typical wear points on the frame, steering, draw bar, lift hitch and floor boards tell me that the 3600 hours on the tac is pretty accurate. If I would critique the tractor, I would upgrade the exhaust to spec asap. I believe the exhaust had a 60 degree bend to act as a rain cap and finially that corosion on the front wheel tire stem hole needs immediate attention. Other than that, I think after it is steamed and detailed, I would have a rought time justifying any re-paints. Nice looking tractor, it has a good home. [Reply]  [No Email]
