The transmision and the reare end are the two area that have always scared me the most on these things! The engine well worse coem to wores i can always do an In Frame my self. IF I DID NOT PAY TOO MUCH TO BEGIN WITH!! But transmision work can be litterally catostrophic! I never knew of a good way to test the transmision except for this going down hill deal. I guess I will make more of an effort to try the next one down hill.

Blow by in the engine is not that big a deal, thats if the tractor is priced right. The problem I have is paying $7500.00, $8,000.00, $9,000.00 and then been told "Oh the engine is fine it just has a little blow by"....Well then if you don't want to dyno and you know it has about half the life left, cut your price $4000.00 to $5000.00 rang and I will consider it. that way I can invest $3500.00 in an over hual by either my self or a good engine shop.

My over all thing is about price, money, investment, and getting your money back when it is time to sale. This is my main reason for avoiding a new JD 6603. I had a JD dealer told me hey, "That 4020 you buy it for 8K today you might in 5 years might be able to get 9k for it or at least your money back. I can't say the same for a new machine."
It just does not make sense to me not do it. It cost almost nothing to do. You have that nice big PTO shaft to connect to, take advantage of it. I tell my self if only used cars had a PTO to connect to think of how many lemons we could avoid.
