Gentleman, I'm going to copy an urgent request from one of our soldiers at the front line in Afghanistan! I will include his email at end. Posted by: GunSlngr201 Original Content: Quote: Gentlemen, I am currently deployed forward (very forward) in Afghanistan. The team got on site three days...

Does anyone have an accurate and up to date list of John Deere tractors powered by Yanmar? This is what I have but know it isn't complete: 650, 750, 770, 870, 950, 955, 970, 990, 1250, 1450, 1650, 4010, 4110, 4115 Trying to keep my notes and information current and I'm sure I've got some...

Hi Folks, I am trying to verify if the JD790 production run was actually from 2000-2005? I've also recently read the next years lineup will include the 790 once again. Although certainly not infallible, tractordata.com also lists the JD790 manufactured dates from 2000 to 2005. My sources...

I've checked the archives and found several conversations that generalize paint, primers, tricks and tips (and oh..yeah guns too) but nothing about individuals with spectacular results (or failures). I'm asking for purely selfish reasons too. I touted the BPS paint line for a long while but...

Hello, and I hope this is the correct forum. Is anyone interested in a FREE 1981 AC 5020 (1/2) tractor? Well, less engine and front axle? Less than 600 hours. My salvage recycler guy has been eyeballing this thing for six months, and before I let it go, just thought I'd try one last time to...

O.K. Folks...I should probably know this, but only think it's true. Are all Yanmar engines #1 cylinder at the back (flywheel side) ? Everything I've read, worked on and seen, including a few 3 digit made for America Yanmars indicates the #1 cylinder at the rear. I have just been into a 3T75U...

I put this link in the Yanmar forum...but thought it really should be here, as it is not model or manufacturer specific. I think it's interesting enough for all people considering the purchase of a Grey Market Tractor. Seems to me that there's no shameless plug or specific model and more for...

Has anyone taken the new survey concerning grey market tractors and a proposed organization that supports the tractor and the buyer?? I found it very interesting as the survey highlights areas about safety equipment, support for buyers between dealers and the significance of the term "Grey...

Hey everyone, On my YM1610D - I was experiencing "White Smoke"...and it wasn't water. It was a hydraulic pump seal that blew and dumped 3+ quarts of hydraulic fluid in the crank case, hence the white smoke, as the tractor was trying to burn the combination of fluid, fuel and diluted engine...

Re: New Agco Sub-Compact and \"B\" Versions are out now Model for model, are they cheaper, or more expensive?? I mean surely they wouldn't be cheaper as they would be cutting their nose off....?? What about after the sale? Are warranties, maintenance and service techs the same? How about the...

Sorry, It really isn't a 210, but rather an Allis 5020 with a Toyosha 2 cylinder engine. Because of the similarities it was suggested I post here. This thing will not electrical start. This is an '80 model sat outside for over a year (muffler covered). At that time it stalled and would not...

Hello and help if you can?? A friend has ask me to help with his Allis Chalmers 5020 that won't start....and that is an understatement. A little history indicates that it stalled outside, in the elements and sat for a year. but does have an exhaust cap on the muffler. Since I have trailered it...

I own a '93 MF 1020 Standard in very good condition except the decals... Does anyone know where I can find a complete set of decals for this tractor?? And maybe the approximate costs? Thanks for any help. Regards, Mark

This is actually from last summer at Lake Conroe, TX. Heard a blurb on the news, but a buddy sent me these to put it into perspective. Been there a few times and fished, boating and swimming were part of my visit....now...hmmmm. Never heard if they caught the critter either. I'am thinking that...

I have been looking at this tractor for over two years. I have talked to neighbors, left messages taped to mailbox and cruised the strip trying to catch someone home. No success. Does anyone recognize the year, model?? And I know that the pictures are poor (telephoto lens through a 6' cyclone...
