Thanks. I tried the a can of gasket seal and it has worked so far. Of course it is still cold so I don't know if it will hold this summer in the heat. It was blowing blue and white smoke (oil and water) but now it has stopped.

There is a grease nipple under the footboard. I had tried greasing it before but I guess it needed more. After the second session in which the grease oozed out, it freed up and started working.

Good point on the backhoe, especially if you are acting as the GC or have a contractual relationship with the GC that allows you to help reduce costs by doing some of the work on your own. One thing to think about is that a tractor with a backhoe (construction type) usually does not have a PTO and comes with AG style tires. If you have a farm and plan to use a rotary mower or post hole digger, you will need a PTO. If you want to use the tractor for mowing near your house, you may want turf style sires rather than AG tires. I actually made money buying a bulldozer, using it during construction (which saved the subcontractor cost), and then selling it for more than I paid for it. I also bought a front end loader with a land leveler at the end but lost a little money on it. In the long run, however, I saved a lot of money by owning my equipment.

You may want to think about your tractor in this fashion--buy a larger one you need for construction, complete your house, and then sell or trade it in on a smaller tractor you need for your finished place.

My LB1914 came with Goodyear Soft Trac Terra Tires 36x13.5x15NHS. They must not make them any more because I am having a tough time finding them. Anyone had to replace yours and if so, what did you use? Thanks.
