I had one of these tractors until 97, when I sold it. I purchased the tractor new in 83 with 4WD and turf tires all around. Also had a Schwartz 1200HD loader on it. Always garage kept and in immaculate condition when I sold it with only 480 hours on it. Selling price was $9200. I had all of the documentation ever available for the tractor as well. All went with the tractor. Only reason I sold it was that I used it to blow snow in the winter and could never get a cab for it, so I just got tired of being covered with the white stuff everytime I had to do this job. These are terrific tractors, with lots of power in a very compact package. Built like a little tank, too. Engine is absolutely first rate, being very smooth and powerful. I kind of regret selling this tractor as there are many times the compact size would have been very helpful, something my current larger unit will not be capable of handling without bumping into things. Although they no longer sell this line, MTI Distributing in Plymouth, MN can forward you to a parts depot if you ever need anything.

Yes, I did change filter (currently uses the exact same filter # as a Ford pickup!). To increase hydraulic speed of operation I also switched to John Deere's recommended winter hydraulic oil, which I now keep in the system year around (John Deere service advisor says this is OK as long as I don't plan to take it out in hot weather conditions and work it VERY heavily for several hours unabated). This did help increase flow somewhat. A John Deere parts department employee discovered the difference in oil manifolds between early and later models (he gave me oil an filter for a later tractor thinking it would fit, but it didn't, so he looked further into the situation and discovered the difference.) John Deere evidently discovered the problem with early production models and quickly changed manifold design and filter so as to eliminate the
