good evening farmall, IMO you have 2 dependable tractors that will get the job done as long as you need them. all you have to do is your routine maintenance, when you see or hear an issue starting, get it fixed before it do's any damage. no one knows those 2 farmalls better than you and you know what you have. a comment was made that going new would give you dependability, i'm not so sure on that one, I watched 2 neighbors both with brand new tractors, one sitting in the field hooked to his new jd baler with a j.d. mechanics truck parked beside it with the laptop plugged in FOR 3 DAYS, in the middle of haying, the other neighbors tractor was winched onto the dealerships semi off the middle of the road, I went over to help we unhooked his haybine (hooked it up to my 1961 mm m5) and took it home to his yard. buying new in my experience doesn't guarantee you dependability. there have been more than a few posts on here about j.d. and others not allowing access to their computer software to diagnose and repair your new tractor. my question is what good is a new tractor that you have no hope of fixing or getting it going in the middle of harvest if it has a computer glitch and shutsdown? I won't buy a piece of equipment newer than 1995 before the "new technolodgy"

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
