Do I care which one of these guys gets the office? Yeah . . . but it I don't think it will make much difference in the long run, at least I hope not. Then again, King George may succeed in turning the whole country into a Texas upsize, environment and all. Then again if George was the best candidate money could buy, Al bore was about the worst. sigh The situation kind of reminds me of Jack Nicholson in that movie Mars Attacks. "We've still got one out of three branches of government working for us and that ain't bad." Then again the court system is becoming political and your chance of getting "justice" there is as good as your pocketbook. So what's my point? Where will we be when the majority of people lose confidence in the judical branch and become as cynical of it as they are of the executive and legislative? Give me gridlock and my morning paper. Thanks, Tom.

I REMEMBER RECENTLY A QUESTION ABOUT OBTAINING FORKS WHICH COULD BE USED ON FRONT END LOADERS IN PLACE OF THE BUCKET. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE NAME OF SUPPLIERS FOR THEM AND ANY ADVICE ON THEIR USE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I INTEND TO USE THEM ON A 770 MODEL JOHN DEERE WITH A MODEL 70 LOADER. THANKS, JOHN

I have no experience with china diesel tractors, however, do own one of their 15 KW generators. This may not be a helpful comparison, as the generator is run infrequently in power outage situatuions. To this point it has performed well for my needs. It starts reliably with little problem and generates the power I need. As I said though, it is used infrequently and certainly not as frequently as I use my tractor. Keep in mind that the generators are shipped with a complete rebuild kit (rings, bearings, valves, gaskets etc.) as well as tools to do the task. I am in process of buying a used John Deere with low hrs. If the prices mentioned in the preceeding responses are in line, I believe I would (and did) stick to name brand. I've owned and tolerated a Long and before I'll do that again I'll shoot myself. My $.02. Best of luck.

KenB:
Thanks for the information. After seeing the tractor, it was as the dealer said and appears to be in excellent condition. We made a deal for $9100 and he is to deliver on monday next week. I've heard often that if something sounds to good to be true it usually is. I'll keep my fingers crossed and see what happens. Thanks again for the information and to all the others out there who are participating on this site. The information here is unbveatable!

This may not apply but doesn't cost to check. Most equipment fuel tanks are vented in some way to assure that you do not develop a vacuum in the tank as the fuel goes down. These vents are usually integral to the fuel cap. I know you mentioned the right leaning hillside which may not be coincidence. Any way give it a look. Let me know what you find. Good Luck.
