I am in Iowa, but I don't have a picture I could post. The tractor does look good, (not just my opinion) and is probably one that someone who is into restoring would like to get their hands on.

Today I located an 855 with 72" deck, cab,4wd with turf tires, 1998 with 451 hours. Appears to be a better fit for my mowing needs. Dealer is asking $10,500. I would need to buy a loader, dealer says I can get an Allied for about $2000. Does this sound reasonable?? Any thoughts are appreciated.

heh heh ted,

what work are they not designed to do? this summer I have knocked over and piled up a building, dredged a stream, dug a fish pond, dug sewers, backfilled, cut away earthen banks, mowed fields and woods, tipped over a large shed, moved an engine/tranmission, hauled firewood, lifted shingles to a roof, rolled huge tree trunks into fires.....its almost like the ginsu knife of tractors.....

I agree that the right oil should be used, but thats the problem - its almost impossible to find the correct data os you have to be creative! For example, my 7275 is a HST drive, which uses a different oil than say a 7270 gear drive, or a JD4300 with gear drive - both in terms of the transmission and hydraulics.

since we have determined it IS a common sump, I have to use those 'tractor transmission/hydraulic oils' Does ANYONE know what API or ISO rating cub wabts the oils to meet?

Cub itself does not have a published std like Case, JD or Kubota. And if cub was not so damn busy trying to rape us on filter/oil prices, we would not be looking elsewhere.

BTW - from an earlier post, that gave wix numbers, I worked backwards and got baldwin numbers:

B227 or B421 for oil

BT260 for HST filter

Its a start, as the hst filter is what I need.....hi ho hi ho off to central tractor I go....

There have to be 3 lines running to the loader - fluid out, open center return, cylinder return. This open center return is what powers the 3ph. Also, to lower the 3ph, dont forget the valve under the seat - its sets the return rate.

I believe this is a common problem, I have used my buddy's 4400 - and each time, he or I need to check the left rear for loose lugs.

Like to see it for 1000-1500 less, although, that is a low number of hours. Make sure its mint. Great tractor. Use mine for all sorts of bizarre stuff beyond the usual....

I know this is an old thread, but the 3ph mount depends on the oem....woods hoes use 1/2 thick steel bars at each 3ph lift corner and run up to the toplink. Therefore, the backhoe could never be lifted - it would only move as much play was in the top link pin.

Also, I have a woods on my cub tractor, it uses the return line from the loader to supply hyd oil, when the return line from the loader is unplugged, there is no oil going to the 3ph lift...weird huh?

What lubricant should I use in the gearbox of my hog? Whats in there looks like it is a mix of #2 grease and gearbox oil - both of which I have scads of, what should I use and how full should I fill it? Hogging 2 acres of HEAVY growth today my gearbox was warm to the touch - not hot, just warmthanks!

Last weekend I was hogging a field of 3' high 'crap' that was pretty thick, and at the time I had the loader still on. About halfway thru I noticed my temp gauge had moved a bit higher than I had ever seen it (still well below half) and I noticed when done that leaves, chaff, bits and pieces were sucked up against the front and side panels. I figure this is probably normal SOP.

However, do NOT take off the side panels, the cowl is built to channel air in a certain path - across the hyd oil cooler, thru a protection screen, then thru the rad, past the engine and out the bottom. You open up the sides, well first off you defeat the removable screen in front of the radiator that keeps crap out of the fins, and second, no more cooling air past the oil cooler.

I have an early 98 7275 (production stopped feb 98) with the 417 loader w/teeth and a woods 7500 hoe that I got feb 99 for 20K even with 150 hrs, it still has less hours than the one you are looking at, 1 year newer and is worth 17-18, so he wants a high end, come at him with 16 and see where you get.

I dont know where you buy hogs, but my 'squealer' is 7' 6" long and is mounted on links that are never lower than 6" above the ground, hence my wheel would be 8' above the ground should it ever get flipped up (more on that later), the top of my rops is about the same height as competing kub and jd models at 7'6" and my head is lower than that. Plus, rotarly cutters typically have the wheel on the ground side of the cutter, not air side, so in your example, the operator got hit in the head with something else - it was not the wheel.

Now lets go back to flipping up, maybe on an 8n or something similar you can flip one up, but verily I say unto you, if the bottom links remain attached, the tower , when using a chain top link) will strike the tractor about 2.5 ft before it can even attempt to hit you.

this would have to happen: mower flips up, tower hits tractor, bends and fails, mower continues thru vertical, striking rops, rops fails and then the mower gets ya, at a minimum of 30* past the vertical. In other words, the force required to do such feat would kill you from the dissipated energy long before the mower got to you (to lift a 500lb implement with such force that it bends itself and the rops, the shockwave would likely break your neck and or back)

Engineering. Pure and simple.

and furthermore, I dont know what you are using for solid toplinks, probably 'unobtanium', because the force required to stand up a mower will ALSO bend the toplink like the will of a slut.

What probably happened was thus: the mower struck a stump, the stump hopper (at most a 45* sheild, rode up the stump and the implement hopped, made a loud noise and some shredded bark ricocheted from the front. The loud noise was scary.

And since the shield is 45*, the power, which is ONLY supplied by the motor, at the blades is cut in half in terms of its vertical deflective strength. If you have a 500 pto hp tractor, mebbe, 50, no way.

No more wives tales on this subject. This weekend I reassembled my hog and performed the test that convinces me, it cannot stand anywhere NEAR straight up.

checked my 'hog'...the words 'Bush Hog' are cast onto the right side of the gearcase. On the left is 'GS' and lower on the left is the number sequence 1 128 070 100 (I may have a zero missing)

What is prolly the model plate (1x2") is painted over.

Hey guys thanks again and I hate to keep asking but - help me here - 24" (low profile tires?) What would be the tire size of these low profile tires on 4900? What type tred? R4 or are they the super turf tires. I would think the 4900 with low profile tires would have to be more stable than 3710 with R4 tires? Suggestions on who might be able to answer question? What is the lowest profile tire for each tractor with at least r4 type tred? I will definitely fill either tractor's tires.

Again can't thank you enough. If the 3710 would be as stable, I sure would like to have that confirmed. Otherwise, I would consider the 4700.

New to tractors never owned one - have been borrowing friend's 4400 4wd with sync shift for work at house site, hate to keep borrowing, but it's amazing how much work can be accomplished. At house site, I have 3 wooded acres on lake. Need tractor for some lite clearing + moving rock to seawall + putting up fence + moving multch, gravel and for generally helping to build house. Lot has some is somewhat steep grade. Idea is to buy tractor and use for a year+ while building home then decide if should keep. Want to make sure what I buy has low center of gravity for work on grade (JD vs NH?). Hard to find good used tractor? Suggestions? Plan on post hole and box scrape later or borrow friends.If I purchased new, what would be projected loss after 1 to 2 years putting about 200 hours on tractor with tractor garaged unless in use? given following prices for JD4400 or TC33D w/supersteer with 60" HD loader & forks (Woods bucket & forks) Price on JD with sync reverse 4wd indust. tires ($19500). Price on TC33D 4wd with same indust. tires loader & forks $18755. Can I get a lower price, been checking need suggestions and pricing info. Both can be serviced locally, willing to travel to pick up in TN, NC, SC. Thanks
