We are very busy beating the Textron giant down to size! We will be back when the stone hits him between the eyes! Listen for the thud. I think I heard his knee hit the ground already(just check their stock price) and to think they could have fixed this problem long ago.........

PS A skunk missed my dog and hit my farmtrac, and it smelled good! Now that's a good tractor.

Hey Case-how's that Farmtrac doing for you!? Starting moving any snow this year or is it still too early for you up there!?

Here is some very interesting reading that ALL dealers for ANY manufacturer should read, digest, and live by. I personally wish that I had known this information years ago. Some of it seems like just common sense, but these articles are written with very good advise. Part #1 of the article was published in September, Part #2 is out now.

The author of the articles has been EXTREMELY helpful to the Farmtrac dealers through our fiasco!!! He knows his business and what he is talking about! We dealers are grateful to him beyond the words that we can express!

Any dealers out there want to sell me a Repair Manual and a parts list for the 555 2wd and 555DTC ? Just like to be able to see what makes my tractors work and for down the road repairs.

I have the service manual and parts manual for farmtrac 50/55/60. same as 535/545/555 if i'm not mistaken. i'm sure one of the dealers can confirm that. I have scanned it and have it on a CD if any one is interested i can make copies for for $40. it in cludes both parts and service manuals. let me know if anyone is interested.

555 and 60 service manuals and parts manuals different.

555 has wet brakes and Bosch injection pump. Also, head gasket and some internal engine parts are different than the 60.

It has been a long time since we have any actual news on Farmtrac.
Anyone knows something.
I heard that all efforts have failed and the financers will have to take a decision.The stocks will not be worth much anyways now.
