Chuck and Jim,No bubbles burst here,I'm not trying to get into a brand name war here,I know there is good and bad in product lines,and yes I'm sure that Deere/Dana and Jeep/Dana will resolve all their problems soon.I guess my biggest problem is the aggravation of spending $35,000-40,000 for a new vehicle that I have trouble with,and then to have a dealership tell me they just don't understand what could be wrong.I don't have time or the patience to take something to a shop every other week to have something repaired that should not be a problem to begin with.I don't think this is much different than spending $10,000-30,000 for a compact tractor and having problems with it also.

Mower Deck For A John Deere 318

i have a 970 that i am using for the third year. i like the tractor, works good but there are a few things that detract from its versatility. one is that the split in speeds between ranges is a bit too wide, the other is that being a compact it suffers from lack of traction without proper tires. traction can be improved with ballast or wider tires. i mow so i opted for the wider tires. i went aftermarket with 19.5L x 24 firestone turf and field, seems to be the ticket. the 990 is a 970 with more hp. although i have seldon been short of power. i run a 7 foot finishing mower in 4 th gear and it works like a charm. before that i ran a 5 foot brush cutter without any power shortage or problems.
if you do loader work shifting can become a chore.

the 84 inch farmking with 3 blades will mow in the rain. it has some rather unique baffles that seem to keep the underside very clean. i have owned a few mowers that take longer to clean than one spends mowing. the farmking is not one of them.

I saw a tractor at a small dealership today that I have never heard of. The initials on the front of the hood were TYM. It looked like a 4wd compact and was redish brown in color. I looked on the PIN plate and I think it said TORK YONG or something like that (didn't have my reading glasses with me). Does anyone know anything about these tractors???

I'm about to undertake the first maintenance required valve adjustment<br>on a 1725 Ford. What is the consensus on the practicality or necessity to loosen then<br>torque to specifications each of the head bolts? Or should new head bolts be installed and torqued to specifications? Your comments on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I am beginning to wonder if the problem is really the mower deck. What size mowing deck is this ? Has the tractor radiator been flow tested ? Has the cooling system been pressured checked? Has the temp gauge been tested against one of known calibration. Many temp gauges on compacts will indicate hot while in actuality the engine is still in the high end of the operating range. A mower deck poses a constant load to the tractor that is does not see when running with a loader. Run the tractor at full PTO speed leaving the tractor stationary. Does the overheating occur ? Is the fan slipping ? Is the fan installed correctly ? Does the gauge show hot or the radiator actually boiling over ? Just some questions maybe we can figure this one out.

Thanks for the prompt response, we appreciate any help you can give us. We found the Kobota engine number it is Z500-1A. Could you also check on the price of a new engine, also. We have to many options with the tractor to get rid of it, so we need to try and repair it. Thanks again for your help.

Lamborghini tractors has a web site at: http://www.lamborghini-tractors.com/lambo_ingl/Default.htm
(This is the English page, you can also read it in Italian if you prefer...)

A Lamborghini crawler was auctioned off at the Woodburn, OR, tractor auction a year or so ago. It is the only one that I have seen.

I am considering the purchase of an E14D so I will need parts info and would like to install a front loader. I am considering the CADplans 907 due to cost constraints. Any experience out there or alternate suggestions?

I had the same dilema as you are having in April, 2000. I had both dealers bring out tractors to my property to try. I tested the Kubota 3010 GST and a John Deere 4300 HST. I did some cutting with a 5' cutter on each tractor and felt the JD had more power. Let me say that both tractors are well built and ran very smooth. I also checked around on used tractors and found that the JD's at least in our area have more re-sale value than any other tractor. This was important just in case I want to move up to a bigger tractor in the future.But the main reason I bought the JD 4300 was that I had much more confidence in the JD dealer than I did the Kubota dealer. He cared about my needs and concerns and gave me much more confidence in his product and service. He showed me why his product would do the job and never put any of his competition down. The Kubota dealer did not do that. All he did was tell me why the other products are inferior without telling me why his product was better. By the way, I paid $700 more for the JD than the price I had for the Kubota. Do I feel it ws worth it? Yes, because this tractor has been one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have had no problems and I love my dealer as he has called me every month to make sure all is OK! I guess what I am telling you it is more important to have a good dealer behind you than anything else. I hope this helps you make your decision.

MFWD means mechanical front wheel drive stressing mechanical. The first front wheel drives where hydraulic 'assist' drives to the front wheels that tended to poop-out in a lugging situation (plowing) while losing traction. "Mechanical" stressed that couldn't happen.

I have a Deere 430 loader and 5 ft bucket that I use with a 970. I wouldn't get anything bigger than a 430. It is a good combination. You will need to have a dual select control valve (DSCV) installed to get the hydraulics to work the loader. The valve will cost $500-600 from Deere. Contact a Deere dealer and he can give you specifics on cost. Some 970s had the DSCV when they were delivered but it depended on how the dealer ordered it. Good luck. Frank

I have a 1225 with 60" 3pt and mow 1.5 acres takes about 1.5 hrs. I have trees and garden to mow around! The dealer talked me out of a belly mower glad he did it is easier to back into areas and cuts down on hand trimming. with the belly you have to swinge wide on corners and miss a large area. The 3 blade finish mower cuts equal to my old sears lawn mower and takes 2/3 less time. good luck dave

Your problem is probably going to require a couple of things. Adjust the valve lash. Retorque the head. Readjust the governor and governor to carburator linkage. Check point gap and time with a timing light. Your compression is alright. If you get it timed right and espesially get the governor adjustment right, that 154 should be able to climb any hill you put in front of it. I would also check the clutch brake clearance. If the last guy who worked on the clutch didn't know what he was doing he probably left the brake tightened down. The clearance should be .010.
