I have a MF1010 4WD Hydro. The tractor is kinda beat up looking-the rops was cut off, probably rolled once and bent. One problem I have is that it has chains to stabilize the side to side lower links and they attach to the tractor(weld to whats left of the rops) at a point that higher than pivot point of the links(they loosen up when raised). I can't figure out if replacing the rops will provide the proper mounting points or if there is something else missing for them to mount to. Anyone with a MF1010 out there mind taking a look for me?

Thanks -- I had read that article on the FAQ page several months ago but couldn't <br>remember where I had seen it! It definitely clarifies the issue.<br>ScottC

The long lead times are mostly on the HST models. Gear models are still available in some dealers stock as of now.<br>But if you want to get an HST model -- you better act fast.<br>PS - 420 and 430 loaders are also a hot item right now. I ordered a JD4300 HST with 420 loader in Feb -- I got the 4300 in May, but the 420 <br>warehouse date has moved from April to May to June.... I've arranged a deal with my dealer and his Deere rep to get a 430 (at a discount) before<br>ther're all taken.<br>ScottC

Just a footnote to the JD4300 HST delivery -- I ordered one the first week of March.<br>I finally recieved it this past weekend (May 15 -- thats about 70 days). To add to my misery<br>the the 420 loader I ordered with it is not in yet. And my dealer cannot locate either a 420<br>or a 430 loader anywhere for me.

I'm in west-central Indiana -- dealer is in Terre Haute.<br>Now that the brush is starting to grow and the ground is somewhat dry -- I intend to <br>go ahead and take the 4300 w/ bush hog and box scraper this week whether the loader shows up<br>or not. I will suggest a 1:1 trade-up from the 420 to the 430 if he can get those!<br>ScottC

I ordered a JD4300, 4WD, hydro on 3/1/99 -- was told 3 to 4 weeks maximum delivery at that time. Now - 6 weeks later - I'm told it will be at least another 2 to 3 weeks. Dealer really had no explanation other than JD is falling behind on delivery of hydro units. Anyone else have this problem?<br>Frankly, I'm a little mad -- I could have driven home an orange tractor the same day I ordered this one but the JD dealer insited he could deliver in under a month. Certainly not a cardinal sin to miss a delivery date -- but also not a good way to start a long term dealer-customer relationship either.<br>
