It is a Ford 4000 Industrial tractor if the paint scheme is correct. Could also be an 18xx with the xx being dependent on the transmission and PTO. The most common was a 4 speed that would make it an 1841. Ford or a dealer may have installed an optional Sherman combination transmission providing...

I've encouraged the OP more than once to get his dealer involved just as others have.

11.00-16's are paired with 20.8-38 rears. The 4430 parts catalog lists 9 or 10 different front tire sizes for 2WD tractors. https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/83395/referrer/navigation/pgId/267511

You will have everything you need unless there’s a shortage in a kit. No “extras” to buy.

Hoses from the couplers to the implement are never included. Some applications use hoses from the valve to the couplers, that's the only time you will get hoses with a tractor remote valve kit. How would anyone know the length of the implement hoses you might need, or what style and size fitting...

Frequency and voltage are linear when discussing conventional PTO generators. An inexpensive Kit-O-Watt will verify that. They are a very useful tool. https://www.harborfreight.com/kill-a-watt-electric-monitor-93519.html

A good shop will make new rods if the old ones are too bad to fix.

And that at 100% mechanical efficiency which is unattainable. There is always some level of parasitic power loss.

It's a safe bet that you do doubt me. It depends entirely on the application. Your response only addresses half of my comment.

Any competent New Holland parts counter person can give you the final build date of your tractor if you give them the complete serial number. Yes, you need the serial number to have any chance of getting the correct parts, even filters. When I worked at the dealership I wouldn't look up parts...

Me too.

Time you dick around cobbling an in-line filter in the system you could have changed the OEM filter 3 times. You'll have to remove the plugged filter and bleed the system either way.

I think 12K is a stretch, even a 12K intermittent load. Without any doubt I'd run that combination at the standard 540 RPM speed.

Anti-seize on the threads and shank of the blade bolts is an excellent preventative. Properly tightened they will not come loose.

It's more about the speed at which thick gear lube passes through a roller bearing if there is no other path.

Be sure to go back later and check the gearbox oil level. Depending on the design it can take a while to fill the void below the upper output shaft bearing.

Are there any active old timers?

I hope it's ready when you get back!

A surcharge.

Judging by the rear axle I'd guess 3 speed.

The length of the float valve slice detent housing can and does dictate positions where that slice cannot be installed. The location of the lever gates can be limiting factors as well. There are instances where there simply is not room to lengthen the gate enough to accommodate the required...

If it's a 46 it's a 2N.

I get all that. The discharge could also be moved to whatever side of the fan made sense from a driveline perspective when reversing the rotation of the fan would add complexity and cost. My point is the use of right/left has to be (and is) standardized in order to have consistent and useful...

Left and right are determined by standing behind the tractor and looking forward. Anyone who has ever sold parts for tractors and equipment has to explain that quite often. All 4 machines pictured in the two previous posts discharge to the left of the fan.

Looks to me as if despite the Erskine's convoluted drive the fan still turns clockwise when viewed from behind the tractor looking forward and the discharge is to the left of the fan. Snow enters the fan from the front rather than the rear.

Why would the fan need to turn opposite of a conventional rear mount blower?

In simplistic terms your disbelief of a single failure while calling the same type of failure rare tells me you don't understand the difference between something that happens rarely and something that never happens. Ignorance is the lack of knowledge. Stupidity is the rejection of knowledge.

It helps to under the difference between rare and never.

That's the difference between wanting to buy a truck and wanting to talk about buying a truck.

Apparently never misspelled a word either. Must be tough living among all the imperfect.

Removing the plugs didn't make any sense to me either, I kind of shrugged my shoulders and scrolled on, Tractor has been sitting 10 years he might as well split it and be done with it. It's an 8N, not a 30,000 lb machine.

11.00-16 fronts on a 4430 means it is 2wd. https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/0/8/81-john-deere-4430.html

Any F2 or F2M you find in that size would be designed for 'field work'. If you think the service life of whatever you have was too short, get a tire with a higher ply rating.

I'm not much for opening links from unknown folks. With 20 posts here I have no idea who you are or what your motives are. Take that however you wish.

You pinned the cost of the US farm bill at $42 billion. That wasn't a misunderstanding on my part, it was a large error on yours.

F-2 is the tread style without regard to ply rating for a 2wd tractor steer tire. Specifically F-2M for a 4 rib tire. F-2 would actually be a 3 rib style.

PTO clutch service on a powershift is a big job.

As I said, Firestone makes excellent F-2 tires.

The OP has a Grand L. Posting info that relates to M series tractors will have limited value and may lead to misunderstandings and confusion on the part of a Grand L owner. It is a new tractor, the dealer should be consulted immediately.

Probably not. No.

No. But that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Push-pull are common in 1/2" size. I'm not sure who makes them in 3/8". I've been around this junk all my life and spent much of it at tractor dealership parts and service departments. Can't say I've ever seen 3/8" push pulls. They do have advantages, I wish you luck.

The Mack E9 V8 was a hoss, but it was another love/hate deal too. 400-525 hp in trucks, more in marine and military configs.

Kind of contradictory. You might have meant 34k rears carrying 46k won't hold up as well as 46k rears carrying 46k.

Trans type and drive ratios have more to do with snapping axles and shelling out differentials than axle weight ratings so long as load limits are observed.

Never having used both designs I can't answer.

What is the point of having the tiller body 6-8" wider than the working width of the machine? Shielding the bearings from wrapping trash is not rocket science. Half the blades on each rotor flange should face each way.

Any engine branded as Maxxforce has earned the reputation as being the most hated and universally least desirable engine family in recent memory.

While probably not crowd favorites here you can be sure those options will sell and sell briskly with great margins.

Butbutbutbutbut all you gotta do is change that diluted oil 2-3 times more often than the manufacturer calls for.

The vast majority of the US Farm Bill appropriation goes directly to the non-farm public in the form of EBT, SNAP and other nutritional assistance. Surely you don't believe the value of the entire bill is $42 Billion?

Debating the relative corrosiveness of common salt and calcium chloride is the very definition of splitting hairs. Calcium works at much colder temps, salt is cheap. You pays your money and takes your choices.

As far as this discussion with you goes the conclusion is right here.

I'm not making a claim I can't back up. You did and thought it would just slide on by. I owned a Dodge truck once a long time ago, for a year. I admitted my error and got rid of it. There are a ton of Ram trucks on the road now both gas and diesel. So they have more going on than the Cummins option.

So now you admit being FOS about routine maintenance costs. Understanding the problem is always the first step.

Debt is a tool used by the vast majority of successful businesses. Why would anyone think being debt free would be a requirement for owning equipment of any kind?

Deere takes a lot of heat over this issue probably because of their stature in the market. Truth is as you say, a much wider issue that many, if not most manufacturers hold very similar positions on.

Exactly.

Same crap goes on at another forum I've been active on for more than 20 years. Their posting policies are rigidly enforced on just about exactly half of the spectrum. Calling them out or complaining works about as well there as it does here.

We spread 80 lbs of barn lime on the litter alley of the dairy barn every day for decades by hand out of a 5 gallon pail. 8' wide by 120' long. With a little practice a near perfect spread pattern is easy. It kinda depends on how often 'often' is and how able and ambitious you are.

The sales department is where you go to buy a tractor. Get with your parts or service department and tell them what you want.

Rated PTO speed for your 1066 is either 2400 or 2600 depending on build date. So using the 4x speed increaser would require an input RPM of either 600 or 650 ERPM. Both are below the factory low idle setting for your tractor. The 4x speed increaser is not suitable for use with a generator...

Second most likely possibly for that particular model would be a suction leak via a broken hydraulic filter support. Most likely caused by the hydraulic filter being struck by a fixed object.

Funny how some people buy a tractor and instantly know everything there is to know about dealerships.

Independent PTO (1949) and power steering (early 1950's) were way ahead of MFD and ROPS. The first hydrostatic transmission tractor I am aware of was the IH 656 introduced in 1967. The John Deere M had live hydraulics in 1947 IDK if any others predated it. All these and other aforementioned...

Not so. The AGCO dealer in our area lost his contract two years ago over dealer standards requirements. Large, well established and well funded dealer with multiple brands that is still going full bore. Poof! No more Massey. New Holland has been known to do the same thing.

Kubota M8 series tractors are manufactured by Versatile in Winnipeg. I had to be reminded of that. Nobody has come up with any others sold in North America.

My comments are strictly related to the warranty side. He does seem to be refusing customer paid repairs as well which is certainly his right however we view that policy.

Every dealer has a binding contract with each manufacturer whose wholegoods they sell. Choosing when to do warranty work is the dealer's prerogative. Choosing whether to do it is almost universally not. That is my point, no more no less.

Nobody said anything about being at the top of the list. It's about getting ON the list.

Actually he is very likely in violation of his dealer contract if he in fact is refusing to perform warranty repairs.

Manufacturers generally require dealers to perform warranty repairs regardless of the point of purchase, I don't expect Kioti is any different. Dealers can and do prioritize repairs at their discretion and that can make a difference. When I worked for a Kioti dealer we did repairs on many...

It's a pretty safe bet this guy wasn't in business in 2008-2009 when well established successful dealerships were struggling to generate enough cash flow to keep the lights on. He will change his tune if/when those economic conditions return.

Based on the info in post #8 I would agree.

"Some of the best deals are the ones you don't make". I've said that here before.

Thinking this through a bit more the M8's are Versatiles. They are the only Kubotas rebadged from another manufacturer that I am aware of. But again, I'm willing to be educated.

I'm willing to be educated. What models from what manufacturer has Kubota sold in the US as their own?

Hoober is hands down the most customer oriented dealer I have ever encountered.

That's always been the point I try to make, usually with varying results. 'At the pin' is a great spec for comparing loaders but a terrible reference point for what a particular loader will or will not do.

Firestone in the highest ply rating available. Best F-2 tire on the market for several decades.

If you had to make a puller, that's the unload valve. A stuck unload valve can cause the lift not to work at all without affecting the remotes.

A couple thoughts. Did you change the seal on the unload valve? Did the unload valve get reinstalled backwards? When stroking a remote valve without a cylinder connected can you hear the engine labor a bit when the pump deadheads and flow is forced over relief?

An EI conversion of a 6 volt system is less than ideal. It can be difficult to maintain sufficient voltage while cranking for the EI unit to function. I used to discourage sales of 6V EI units in favor of an EI install combined with a 12V conversion. That gets spendy and if the cost isn't...

Also had one experience with a fault in the shifter mechanism itself that inhibited proper shifting. As suggested, let the dealer fix it under warranty.

Wor Workmasters and Powerstars are different tractors built on different continents. One is not a version of the other.

Junk shift cable.

I'd run it at 1500 minimum. You need to get the coolant temp up enough to open the thermostat and get the gauge (if it has one) into the operating range.

So now with the credibility of the entire "article" tainted just go back and delete the entire thread. It is just a load of unnecessary pot stirring anyway.

Easiest way to accomplish that would be to mount a generic power beyond capable valve rated for about 8 gpm in a convenient location and connect it to your distribution block below and in front of the brake pedals. This assumes your avatar accurately depicts your tractor as not having a loader...

Some early CJ-4 oils were not backwards compatible. I remember that was an issue with New Holland Ambra 15w-40 when their CJ-4 was introduced. What we have here I believe is another case of oil technology outrunning published info in operators manuals. Clearly Kubota 15w-40 is now rated to...

Item 16 is a 3/8" pipe plug that can be removed. You can use a street ell, nipple and either a 3/8" quick coupler or a reducing bushing and a 1/2" quick coupler to connect your return line. This location is used for OEM backhoe installs among other zero pressure return needs.

The accessories are already 12 volt and it has a generator, not an alternator. Part of the benefit of the conversion is upgrading to an alternator.

There is. Not being able to initiate movement with the shuttle control is a clear indication of a fault in the seat switch circuit. The OP's loose control lever could be a result of loose mounting screws.

No, I'm sorry, I don't. I owned a 4010 diesel for a while years ago and it started and charged on 24 volts every day I owned it. The rest of the Deere tractors I owned were all 1969 and newer models.

Spark ignition tractors of the same models and timeframes were 12v positive ground. All had Delco generators.

If you know, you know. All 3010, 4010 diesels and 3020 and 4020 diesels until the 1969 model year had 24 volt starting and charging systems. .

Giving blanket financial advise without regard for geography, age or circumstances is a fool's errand. There are locales where real estate is a chronically poor investment for a variety of reasons. There are times when holding cash is either prudent or counterproductive depending on other factors.

Exactly. The transmission defaults to park when not running. Right side of the rear axle housing above the running board.

An LT tire with a C load rating should ride better than an E load rated tire but have a more durable casing than the stock P metric tires.

There's no point in that.

That's a generalization based on a single opinion. My opinion is that your generalization is absurd.

I'd be seeking Blue Streak or Echlin. But any are a crapshoot. The best condensers are the ones still working in distributors or ones in a drawer that were taken out of service "because". When I was still wrenching on tractors I got in the habit of NOT changing condensers in running engines.
