State of mind is putting it kindly. A sub culture that resides within many US cities that is devoid of any value toward human life, or for that matter any values at all.

I guess that is why I like visiting Canadian cities, different atmosphere. Although I understand the outlaw biker gangs have caused problems.

I spent many a week under my family's 1955 Chris-craft Capri sanding the hull as well as hours upon hours stripping varnish, refinishing and pin-striping the deck. I attend the antique boat shows in the area as well as revel in delight at the sight of the old woodies used daily in the St Lawrence region. But as far as owning one again Art, not until I can afford to hire someone to do the maintenance. But thanks for the thought!

The best SS rifles I have seen are the New Winchester Model 70's in safari calibers.

They have a nicer walnut stock and a set of blued open sights that tone down the flashy look.

I do agree that the grey finish Ruger uses looks nice too.

4115. With the biggest tires that can be crammed into the wheel wells. I ordered it last Thursday.

I love that little BX, but between my rough land and that old back injury, something has to change.

You can pay less for a high volume dump trailer than a good chipper. I bought a Troybilt chipper a couple years ago for $1k at Lowe's. I am sure I could have bought a high sided 6x10 trailer for that price.

Then I made the same discovery that Tom spoke of: It takes all day to chip up a the same pile of stuff that would require only an hour to load up and take to the dump.

So I guess it comes down to mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.

Jeffer, I drove a 4115 with one of those fiberglass sun shades the other day and it was LOUD. Way louder sitting in the seat than standing next to the tractor.

Noticed a similar thing wearing a western hat and running one of the tractors the other day, but that was irritating. The fiberglass shade was painful on the ears.

Jim, it is hard to set a value on things with out seeing. That style of blower was used as IH didn't offer a front blower to run off the mid pto which didn't exist either at that time and they were normally only available thru after-market blower manufacturers. Is it two or four wheel drive?

I think a 1550 has around 13 pto hp and that's pretty light for whacking 1" material with a 5' rotery cutter. A 4' probably would be cheaper too, easier on the pto and weigh less. Since it's for infrequent use, an extra foot width wouldn't save much time either.

I'm making an assumption that the cutter used would shatter rather than cleanly cut saplings. Whatever cutter is used, it might be good to check what it does and assess the risk of tire punctures for driving back over cut areas. The tractor probably has turf tires, and turfs aren't very puncture resistant.

You might get an opinion for repairing the case. Specialty welding shops can do some pretty amazing repairs.

I'm not sure how much help I'm going to be with the TX since I don't know the tractor, and any TX work without a manual is tough. I'm assuming that all gears are sliding type rather than synchromesh. I don't know what was torn down to do the initial repair or it's state now. For example, was all work done with the TX in the tractor by removing the top cover? I don't know if the rail won't move by hand or from the shifting linkage. I don't know if any of the locking pins on the forks were removed or if a fork was bent when the lever broke.

I know that some TX's will lock if a worn shifter and rails allow the TX to get what I'll call out of coordination. I used to cure that problem on a '53 Cevy be grabbing the external levers and pushing them up and down until the TX freed. I suppose the same could be done to a top-shifting TX with the top cover removed. However, the Chev had synchromesh and I don't know if the same idea is even relevant to a sliding gear TX. There also is the possibility of bent of worn parts. A manual should give clearances for various TX parts.

Rails can be hard to move and sometimes they are turned to push the detent ball up so a rail can be removed. The fork locking pins have to be removed. I don't know if such a technique is possible unless the TX is removed and torn down. It would be a check to see if a ball was seized. Cripes, I don't even know if the fork locking pins can be removed from the top-cover or if it's a good idea to try.

Good luck with this. I'm not sure I've been any help.

I am interested in any infomation available for this tractor regarding reliability, parts availability etc. I am considering the tractor for snow removal as it has a front mounted snow blower with a complete carrage assembly to drive it from the rear pto, a system that I am unfamiliar with. Tractor has 550 hours, some rust but I see no major damage or leaks. Any ideas of price value or ideas for this tractor would be greatly appreciated.

Try this link for new price. Generally a 20% discount is considered a very good deal for a new tractor. With 70 hours, that is practically new tractor, you will be paying pretty near a new price. I have seen tractors like you are looking at sell for more than what you can buy for new. Just keep it mind what you can buy a new one for.

I looked at some MF's the other day. The smaller ones are made by Iseki and appear to have a lot of borrowed engineering from Kubota.

I use a 5ft MMM plus 2 5ft wing mowers for a 14 ft cut with overlap. I can drop a wing for 10ft cut or 2 and then sneak in between trees with the MMM(just as wide as my tires).No scalping, though the wings can be a handful sideways on the hills.15ft wing requires alot of pto Hp.I pull with a NH 33hp. 15ft wing is a handful to manuver in a barn. Though I have to maintain 2 more motors for the wings.Not wanting a 50hp tractor answered it for me. My wings are Acre Ease commercial units $2800 ea.

The 4 inch magnet on the stick would work fairly well for what you discribe. I have one and paid the kids a 1/2 cent per nail as they cleaned up after construction and demolision.
I made them count and calculate.
They retrieved most of the nails around the whole building site. Some could be reused so I figured I was money ahead.

Sounds like you've done about all that's possible without a manual. I guess the loader valve can't be taken out of the system with a diverter valve; that a relief open relief valve can't be heard; that the 3ph control valve arm does move when the quadrant lever is operated; and that the oil doesn't get hot or frothy.

That main candidates for a position control hitch that doesn't lift at all are the unloading valve; the poppet valve and the 3ph pressure relief valve. In practice it's common to just rebuild an entire control valve assembly rather than try to trouble-shoot it.
