Apologies if this is already provided on another thread, but who services/sells parts for Montana tractors in north Texas, preferably near Dallas. Thanks in advance.

I don't know that much about oil..(although I know a whole lot more than I did a couple of days ago thanks to this site.) Anyway, after reading several threads on this site, I am thinking that I want to switch to synthetic oil in my Montana 4940. My manual calls for 20w40 oil, but my dealer uses...

Hello to all. First of all, I have been pulling since I was old enough to drive, with both bumper pulls, and lately with my gooseneck. I am pulling with an '05 Ford F-250 PSD. I am already setup to pull either style of trailer. I pull, on average, 5500 lbs. to 7000 lbs. of equipment, not...

I maybe should put this in the oil/lubricant forum, but thought I'd try here since there are Montana dealers here. Has anyone used Rotella 5w-40 synthetic, or the Royal Purple equivalant in the Montana tractors, particularly a 4940? Would there be any reason not to try using it, and if not...

I have always assumed I would get an airbag system similar to this LoadLIfter 5000 Air Springs. My question is, would something like this be a better way to go, or would it be better to get a weight distributing hitch instead? I haul about 7 or 8 thousand lbs. pretty consistently on a 20'...

Does anyone have a picture of a Montana 4340 or 4940 with the curved boom loader, that has a grill guard installed? I would also like to see any pics of a Montana tractor with a grill guard?

Hey guys, I'm thinking about trading my 4940 for a 5740C, and I was wondering if anyone that owns a cabbed Montana would share how well their AC system cools the cab. I am especially interested to hear how it does in extreme heat.

Does anyone know if there is a spinner for the steering wheel of Montana tractors? Particularly a 4940?

I need to replace a power steering hydraulic arm and don't really care to pay to have it done. To any one who has experience, how do I do this. I need to take off the old one and put the new one on. I don't really have any experience at this.

I put a top n tilt system on my machine, and I would like to figure out a way to extend the little levers that operates them so I can reach them better to operate it. Anybody done this before?

I was wondering if anyone has adapted the the hydraulic remote levers on a Montana 4940 or a similar model. They are a little short. I put a top n tilt system on my machine, and I would like to figure out a way to extend the little levers so I can reach them better to operate the top n tilt. -Gavin

I bought a top n tilt set up the other day. The hyd. cylinder that causes the blade to angle, say for cutting a ditch or something, is too long. However it is the shortest one made. The part of the cylinder that attaches to the lower 3pt arm( I am not sure of the name of this "part", so I took a...

I use my 4940 to mow commercially. I want to start box blading commercially as well. I am going to replace my top link with a hydraulic cylinder, as well as put one on the 3pt arm that already has a manual tilt adjustment. Anybody have any advice?? Thanks!

I recently bought a reconstructed echo ES-210 shred-n-vac. It shocks my hand when I use it. Not bad, although I can definetly feel it. I wonder if when it was reconstructed a ground wire wasn't put back on or something. I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem, and how to fix it. I'm...
