That is true, repairs can be costlier on any diesel. If the pump needs to be rebuilt, your talking big bucks. BUT, it's pretty rare you have to do anything with the pump unless your putting tons of hours on the tractor. Other than the engine, the rest of the tractor is basically the same as the gas powered machine so any repairs should be the same cost. Mine has been basically repair free other than the 3 point wouldn't lift when I bought it but with the help of a manual that I bought and the guys help on the Ford forum I got it working perfectly for less than 50 bucks. I did have to buy a battery after a few years and since they are big (if you buy the correct one) they run about 100 bucks, but that was a bargain to me as I got tired of jumping it off when I needed it. Good part with a diesel, it will run without a battery so once it was jumped off I could go all day as long as I didn't kill it. Oh yea, I have run it out of fuel a few times and priming it can be sort of a pain, but I've gotten it running again within 5 minutes each time. Here is mine the day I got her home, Februry '05. Notice the seat and you will understand why I found it necesarry to put an aftermarket seat on. Oh, and this was a one owner tractor when I bought it. 1971 model.
