I bought the tractor from WCT in Strafford. A few years ago when I started looking for a replacement tractor I stopped in there to take a peek at the bright blue tractors they had lined up out front. They were really busy that day. The sales guy came out and welcome me. Told him it was going...

I'm highly anticipating the new MT 242. Once my dealer gets one in stock I'm going to look at it. They said late July would probably be when they will see them. Things I'm excited for: 4cyl non-turbo engine. Bosch injection. 11 gallon fuel tank. Substantial loader lift increase. Offering R14...

Gregg Abbott in Jackson. What area of MO are you headed?

Ok fellas, so it's a long story over 18 months in the making but I wanted to have all the facts straight before I posted anything else on the squealing noise on startup. About a week after my previous post on 10/10/22 the tractor was right back to squealing on startup again. Contacted the...

I'll have to ask him.

Thanks for the replies guys! Gives me some things to check before I let it sit on the dealers lot.

My FIL was using my tractor moving some hay around and he said it lost throttle (went to idle) and no matter where he put the throttle it had no response. He shut it off and started it back up and everything was fine. He states there where no warning lights on the dash during any of it. I...

I got lucky on eBay a few years ago.

Got my tractor back! The two sealing washers on suction line for the hydro unit were leaking air. Did not have to split the tractor. Just pulled the floorpan off for access. So far I haven't heard the noise. Noise only happens when it's warm ambient outside. Supposed to be about 80 today so...

Update on my tractor. The dealership has been able to duplicate the noise several times. All their testing shows the next step is to split the tractor and check inside. Dealer has a few big jobs a head of me still so 2-3 weeks till it's split and we'll go from there.

Id say 1200-1500 for the lot in my area. Its an old unit with the ACME engine. The ACME engine is not easy to get parts for or find someone that is willing to repair it The problem you have with the 725 is the spline pto, No differential, and no steering brakes. They switched to a 3 jaw pto...

That's great to hear! I'm going to let them know how yours was fixed just as a friendly fyi.

Update on my tractor. It goes to the shop Monday!

I have the same tractor as you and did not use the vacuum trick durring the 50hr service. I did not read up on it either. I lost about 1.5 gallons of oil in the drain pan total after I figured out it's not going to stop untill I put the new filters on. Topped it off with new oil. I bet I'd...

Does yours have a standard 16 pin OBD2 connector under the column shrouds? My MT240 does and a cheap code reader for a car works great for reading/clearing codes. Has a lot of pids in the live data menu too.
