Thanks Frank. The quote on this unit is from a local John Deere dealer.

Does the 7.3 not have the manifold heater like the Cummins? When I first got my truck the lights flickering would bother me as the electric heater cut in. I searched the Cummins sites and finally figured out what is was. <br>
<br>
If there was a problem with the manifold heaters or heat riser on the Ford it might give similar problems. I am sure my Cummins would have similar problems on a cold day with out the manifold heaters.

To everyone on the board, "Merry Christmas" and "Best Wishes" for the new year.

Thanks to everyone for all the information and advice posted on the board this past year as well as in previous years.

I have not been a big contributor but I sure have been a big receiver of a lot of information. Tractorpoint is a gift I appreciate almost every day of the year.

Also thanks to you Dennis for all your hard work.

Oneace, Sorry I was trying to make him feel better. I am sure the NH is better than a 45 year old design. Like EW said maybe 1.5 hours max for the NH. <br>

Yes I had to dismantle the front end of the tractor and remove the front and lower end of the motor to get the gear pieces out of the pan. About 10 hours of work.

My BX does the same thing , the 3pt. has to be half way or down to lift properly, the loader on your tractor is stronger than mine , mine is rated at 460 lbs ,but it will lift 11 80lbs bags of salt but it won't lift 12 , Craig.

I realize a lot of changes have happened, the only dry brakes I have had experience with never lasted nor seemed to fully release. Could have been due to being old and springs loosing tension.

Interesting point on the diff. not being centered possibly affecting wear.

Like EW we always had IH equipment when I was small and on the farm in ONT. Most of the farms around either had IH or MF equipment. Massey had bought our family farms in Canton so he had more than a little influence in the area. There were not many tractors in northern B.C. Not much farming. I never really got a look at the old JD equipment until I moved to KY and a friend had a barn full to tinker with. Like Art said they seem dated even for the era. My Oliver Super 55 with a Perkins engine and 3pt hitch was closer to a modern tractor than many of the same era Deere.

EW I can also remember riding the tow bar when disking and plowing. I was less than 6 at the time. Not something I would recommend today.

I had a 750 as my first compact, but 30 acres. It was not really big enough for some of the tasks. I traded it for the 955. I would think it would be a fairly good deal and able to do most tasks on 5 acres. A couple of HP would be better.

I would make sure you are not leaving any money on the table. Personally I have always been able to get my money back out of the tractor and if you decide to trade up it is nice to recoup all your money.

I use a 61" bucket and I have had much more than that in my 2520 and my older 4100. Up and over it went into my mason dump truck at max height...

I have a vertical exhaust for a 4310 in the box that i never installed. If someone on theis list would like to buy it i would make them a good price for it. I was going to get one for my 3520 but it takes a large hole in the top of the hood and the best i can tell you have to remove the exhause somehow just to raise the hood so i never bought one for it. Anyone have this onn their 3520?

Markpe; I think it depends a lot on tread preference of an ariea or the most intended use. If you have lots of mowing as being the biggest use for tractors sold from a dealership the likely the Turfs will be more costly than around here where mowing is a not a top priority with the larger compacts, in fact the local JD dealer will hardly trade in a tractor with turf because so few folks want them. I really don't have a figure for you, but I do think a set of used turfs would cost a lot less around here than maybe where you are, so check around a bit before you buy. Happy hunting. Frank.

Try checking the neutral switch by the hydro pedal. Worked on one that it whould stick and run but then after you got off or shut the tractor down and try to restart it wouldn't.

My TC40 pulls a 2 bottom 16 with absolutely no burbs in my heavy clay type soil. Can till right down to the bottom depths. I feel very confident it could handle a 3 bottom with no problem. The 4wd IMO makes the difference in adding 1 to 1 1/2 more bottoms.

Capturing the heat is a good idea but might be sort of difficult. The generator is in a shed about 100 feet from the house. It's an open frame generator with the exhaust piped to the outdoors. But the heat isn't totally wasted. We keep firewood in that shed and the shed gets to be about 80 degrees with the genset running which helps dry out wet wood :)

Hoped but did not solve my Zone Alarm issue, still causes some problems. Hoped the new server might solve it. The problem seems to be Zone Alarm and can not get it set to like TP all the time or some other sites. The new server does seem slightly faster.

Per my companies they (junk faxes) are illegal. You don't have to OPT out, rather you have to OPT in. You are not to fax soliciting business to a non customer without a signed authorization. I think some companies play with the law by writing the fax trying to make it look like it is being sent to their branches and somehow it just hit your fax number. I do think sending faxes that provide info and no solicitation for business may be legal.

Talked with a company who tried to sell us using them to send faxes. Said they were in another state and you had to sue in the state it was faxed from, so they did not send within their state. We would be safe since we contracted for the end result and the action was theirs. Did not feel comfortable with that.

Sort of think some of this is done to try and boost the Post Office income.

I need to replace the black plastic dash surround on my G1900. Actual part to be replaced is called a "visor". Question: How do I remove the ignition switch? It has to come off before the visor can be removed. Will I need to use a steering wheel puller to remove the steering wheel, which must be removed also. Thanks for any assistance anyone may be able to offer.

Rankin, don't let 'em kid you about scratching their heads about $500 under dealer cost. "Dealer cost" can be any number the dealer wants to make up---like dealer cost for $1000 "custom" pinstripe job that they paid $85 for, or a $2000 sunroof they paid $800 for.

"Factory Invoice" is what the dealer pays for it--- on paper---- when they borrow money for it. However, they get what's called "hold backs" which is like a commission. If they thought they were going to lose one cent they would have recinded the transaction pronto! Holdbacks for Ford products were in the 5-6% range. Then the salesman also sometimes get a kickback from lending institutions for referring the business on your loan---which may not be the BEST loan value out there for them to choose from.
