JCB dilemma

Tractorcedric · Jan 23, 2020

So the neighbor dairy farm milks 675 cows. They have several JCB loaders. The 540-70 now has a locked up motor. I would like to be a good neighbor and help by doing the engine exchange for them. But I need help finding the correct replacement engine. I think it is a 1104C-44T. Can any of you guys help me with that? Also I am now concerned about what I saw on TV today. New research shows that if a human drinks whole milk he will die FIVE years earlier than if he drinks the watered down stuff. So now I wonder that if I help my neighbor dairy farmer by getting his loader up and running. Could I then be charged for assisting a murder??? My Mom just told me that milked the cows when she was a kid and drank lots of it fresh. She is going on 94!!! What do you all think?

The dairy industry (my gramp was one wit 25 cows hand milked) is suffering from BTO dairies that can squeeze a dollar a cow into a profit. When smaller ones cannot make ends meet. As people age they drink less milk, and should. Calcium needs should be addressed by being tested and given a recommended amount (not the casual recommendation from one of us) Butter fat, and HDL issues are not to be guessed at, again tests. You are innocent in helping the neighbor produce milk. Jim

Innocent sounds good! I sure like a good cold glass of whole milk though.

My studies show people who drank pure milk right from the cow lived longer than they do now. Just saying.

I was a premie. 2.8# at birth. They sent me home 3 months later. We had Brown Swiss. Milk high in butter fat. Pulled milk out of the bulk tank with 1 gallon Karo syrup pails daily. I grew up to be a ?big dumb farm kid? drinking natural milk. I?ll draw my conclusion from that.

Both my grandparents lived to 93 drinking whole milk straight from the cow.

I would question who did the research. Sounds a bit fishy.

When you say locked up does that mean seized up while
running?
