Thanks for the input. There was a strainer screen with magnets I pulled and cleaned. It was dirty but not bad for a 21 year old tractor with 2700 hours. I have the (pricey) OEM new holland filter to install now. I have Napa "heavy duty premium" green label tractor hydraulic oil. I took the...

This machine has about 2700 hours of rough use by previous owner. I changed fluids and filters when I got it. The hydraulics are sluggish and jerky. The replacement filter I bought online showed up and was far smaller than the factory installed filter. I would like to know what filter might...

Is it possible to swap rear tires and rims between a deere 950 to a New Holland 2120?

I'm looking at one for sale. Any opinions on this model? Anything to look out for? Thanks.

So I continue looking around for a tractor with a strong loader, something that could handle a backhoe. What say you regarding this one? diesel ford 445, 4 in 1 bucket. He's asking 7,500... Thanks in advance for any helpful opinions.

Well, you guys have sort of steered me clear of that 65 for now. How about this 150?

I popped the muffler off and looked around. Seemed mostly dry. Put it back on and cranked the engine a little by hand. Fired it up, it spat a few black flecks out then idled nicely. All appears fine. Warmed it up then got it under cover. Seems like a non issue now.

OK, Where do I find the compression relief?

The muffler is vertical, makes a 90* sweep to horiz. into manifold which is on the side of the engine, not top. No goosneck or pinhole in the muffler casting I can see. There is an extension on the muffler with a little rain stopping bend at top. I had that off for getting under some low...

I have a deere 950 with a 3 cyl. yanmar diesel. A big storm blew through and caught the tractor outside with the pipe off the exhaust. Not sure how much rain got into the exhaust but a ball jar resting on a log nearby had about 3" of water in it. What should I do?

Sold before I got to it. Here is a pic of the gas 65 that's still available. I plan to go look soon.

Thanks for the input, folks. I wish it had a loader is the only thing. What are your thoughts on a Massey ferguson 175 with what looks like a strong loader. $4,000, 6,900 hrs. Perkins diesel, Looks barn kept.

Thanks for the replies. Stella looks very classy there. The 65 I am thinking about doesnt have a FEL. Ad says new brakes, pto seals, axle seals and rear hydro ports. 90% rubber. 1958 model. Asking 3,500. Been for sale about half a year.

Hi, New guy and an ex city guy with little tractor experience at that. I find myself now in a rural place with a good deal of forest land access. I built myself a mill during this covid business and now am looking to do some hobby logging for milling into lumber. I have a nice old Deere 950 with...
