I thought about finding someone who speaks Polish to help me find a solenoid for my Polish made MF.

Parts for all Farmtrac Tractors Models
This guy can get any part, just call. I have ordered TONS of parts. He has most stuff in stock. I ordered the brake boots a few years ago, were at my house in 2 days (still have not put them on as I just used silicone and an innertube to patch and it has held ). Just ordered 2 keys for 8$ to my door in 2 days. Rebuilt and replaced all the gears in the 4*4 box , got them in less than a week. He even called the factory (famtrac is still produced in india) and got me rear end parts a few years ago. Those took about 2 weeks IIRC. Some people still hold a grudge against him as he was on of the higher up in Farmtrac when it went under. Never been anything , but courteous and went out of his way to help.

The guys at ITP are great as well. Parts are out there for the Farmtrac machines and I would not hesitate to buy another one comes available that we could use on the farm

Here a update as of today 7/21 no call he ordered the parts from the guy in West Hempstead no call back yet. I took my tractor in 7/11 so as of now it does not look good for me. I gave he the phone # to the guy in NC. Hope he call him!!!.

Sounds like you need to tell the guy you will supply the parts and make a few phone calls to the provided numbers. Exactly what I would do.

Oh belive me I have been involved in trying to get the parts I need. I made calls and left a message to call me back well he didn't so I told the parts guy to forget the guy in NJ and buy them OK. that's shorter distance then NY! so I hope he ordered the parts Friday.

Well my nightmare will be over some time today when I pick up my tractor today. The woman in Oklahoma thought she had the parts but didn't when she looked? The man in NY came thru!!! He just didn't overnight them like he said he would.

hope you got your tractor back.

jack707 · Jul 29, 2016

I got it back wed. Am. Al lest it don't leak anymore.

jack707 · Aug 5, 2016

Now it's leaking the same side it like the guy knew he told me get a hose clamp.

Do you have part number? I am about 10 miles from farmtrac dealer in Oklahoma. I have found many times you have to go out there and help them find the part.
