D, you also had questions about transporting.... do you plan on trailering the beast? If so, that may well be a limiting factor.

I guess everyone saw the footage of the IRL crash on the weekend. It is just incredable that the driver survived and a testiment to the crash protection that is placed into these vehicles.
I am not a big fan of making a truck into a car. Personally I miss the rubber mats.
I am not sure what the attaction to large SUV's are. I guess if I had use for one, I might look at a small Defender or Jeep. Did own one in my younger days and used it to go skiing etc. But a well balanced rear wheel drive will get you most places you need to go on the road.
Where I off roaded, size was a problem as most of the roads quckly become over grown in the north west.
When I worked for the forest service I got stuck with a long box crew cab. The number of times we had to inch the thing around to try and turn around on a tight trail, never again.

Thank you to all. He has decided to buy the tractor in
the USA. The dealer came down to just $300 more than
the canada dealer.

Thanks fo the reply TomG..I'll try to explain the mount. The hoe has a 1" thick x 4" wide x 14" or so long steel plate that attaches to tractor top link with 2 pins (upper & lower) from hoe mainframe; lower link arms ride over top of 2 1/2" diameter steel tube which is attached to hoe mainframe also. Lower link arms are then pinned to hoe mainframe. Itseems pretty strong but unless I get lower link arm check chains tight ,the hoe will flop left to right some. I have to see if I can maybe get them tight before I pin everything....close tolerance at all connections! Thanks for the safety tip... it does stress in hoe manual about keeping lower link arms down in lower position and not to treat it like a full size back hoe.( I run those at work ) Well, I hope this gives you a pretty good idea what it looks & works like. I just realized I left something out...the check chain turnbuckles practically sit right on the limiter's tube ,thus they have to be tightend before pinning everything. Mark

Thanks for your reply Willie H.! I purchased my tractor new in April of 2002 with FEL and 3pt 6ft. finish mower. Just added new 6ft hoe from same dealer in August, set up for residential use. Only have about 6 hrs on it.(the hoe)305 on the tractor. You seem pretty familiar with the limiter kit. Only once have I been able to get the check chains tight. Can't tighten them after hoe is on because check chain turnbuckles practically ride on limiter tube. Guess I need to try to tighten them before pinning lower links & toplink....more experimenting! I'm getting quicker at installing hoe, after figuring out a way to keep lower links apart when backing into hoe. It's a little tricky due to close tolerances especially at top link. I'm familiar with feathering, as I operate full size equipment at work, but thanks for the concern! Mark

The Woods 7500 and NH 757 look to be the quality hoes on the market. Anybody have recent price quotes including subframe and pump kit?

Willie, with the four point system they are using on the new Kubota tlb's it's tough for the competition to keep up with them for performance.

My machines travel a LOT because of the nature of my business, luckily, very seldom do we need warranty work performed, or dealer service at all for that matter, but when we do we have NEVER had a bad experience with a dealer other than our own dealer from whom we bought the machine. One very rare occasions we have been asked to pay, or sign promissory notes, just in case the manufacturer refused the claim, but that is just prudent business practices, I don't have a problem with that.

Maybe I've just been lucky, I prefer to think it's because of the professionalism of the dealers and their staff.

Best of luck.

What are you going to use the tractor for? I don't think the 5205 has a hydro trannie available so that may be a factor if you are doing lots of back-and-forth work (loader, etc). The SynchReverser is easy to use but not as easy as a hydro. The 5205 is a lot heavier - that is great if you need the weight, not so great if you don't (muddy conditions, turf, etc). The 5205 also has a Cat-2 hitch instead of the 4610 Cat-1 hitch. I don't know if implement prices jump a lot when going from Cat-1 to Cat-2 but it might be a consideration. The 5205 is a little beefier but may not be quite as comfortable as the 4610.

As has been mentioned previously, the factory lights, and even the wiring harness, is often lacking. Especially for tasks such as snow removal where you are often working in reduced visibility conditions, not just in darkness.

We have used almost every type of auxillary lighting known. After much experimentation we have settled on a few 'standard' choices depending on the location and light requirements.

For front lights we use either; standard pickup truck snowplow-type lights mounted on the grill guard, which gives high & low beam, plus extra marker lights and flashers for signal or 4-ways, or 'driving-type' lights for additional light at minimum cost and electrical draw.

For rear facing lights the usual choice is 'tractor-type' flood lights, several manufacturers make rubber mounted flood lights specifically for such task, the ones we use even have a weather-proof switch mounted in the back of the housing. This is very handy since you can choose what lights to turn on and off while not affecting the tractors basic light package, REALLY handy for snowblowing since you can light up the 'up wind' side of your work while not lighting up the plume of snow itself.

Most aftermarket light kits are available now as 'minimum wiring' kits, they are complete with relay, wiring, etc., but require NO SWITCH, they are controlled by a wireless remote keyfob, just like the keyless entry systems widely available today. Not only does this make for a really easy install, but it is really handy.

Regardless of the type of lights selected, the most convenient way to hook them up is to use a light wire to a new switch which controls a relay and run new wire, nice heavy stuff so there is no loiss or heat problems, as long as it is fused properly there is no risk.

If you get into big light systems you may find you will need to upgrade your alternator, in most cases the easiest way to do this is to see if there is a larger aternator available for your machine such as if it had a factory cab on it. If this is not the case check with a local alternator & starter shop, in a lot of cases they will have a larger aftermarket unit available, or one from a larger 'industrial' engine of the same brand as your tractor. We do this with the 'Bota's all the time.

Best of luck.

Like to help but it's likely going to take somebody with a manual. Since you've torn down the engine you no doubt know that usually there's a mark on the crank gear. The engine is placed on a compression stroke and the marks on the crank and cam gear are lined up and both gears are keyed onto their shafts.

I'm thinking 'What else could it be?' Maybe a mark on a flywheel or water pump pulley used for ignition that marks TDC and there's a reference mark for the cam gear someplace on the block. Don't know, I'm just poking around in the dark.
