Seems like the only thing they have in common is they are both Massey Ferguson Tractors.

One the 1525 is much smaller at 25 HP while the 1747 is 47HP and much much larger.

I know someone once said if you can turn it around on your property it is not too big, but you do need to look at what you are doing with it to make this decisiion, so please tell us what your tasks for the machine are.

Hi Roggie,

No such thing as a bad question.

But since you are asking this one it may be sign that you would be wise to have an advisor that can guide you in this very significant undertaking.

I rebuilt an engine with no guidance, and it ran after the rebuild, but no better than before.

Careful what you fix

Best of luck.

It sure is rough trying to find a diamond in the rough for a fair price.

800 hours on the meter says the machine was coddled with loving care and only used for 30 minutes a week.

Hmmm more probable that it has rotated around through 9999 hours at least once and now is showing 800 but really at least 10800.

Does the condition match up ?

Best of luck huntng!

[QUOTE=dave5000;200114] I'll guess I can just buy a roll of line and cut to length? Thoughts/concerns? [/QUOTE]

Yeah just buy what you need, depending where you buy could be a precut length, but as Murf said the stuff dries out and you rarely need it.

How are you making out with this has the warm weather helped any?

The oribital valve has many many parts to it. Without a manual and full parts list and access to a reliable source for any parts aside from the bearings could be a challenge.

With so many parts to deal with you have your hands full.

Best of luck

How long are you letting the Glow plugs heat up before cranking the starter?

[QUOTE=BeenThere;199635].... The ones in the #6284 probably are okay,But,due to the 534 hours on these original glow plug,I feel they need changing before winter gets here.....[/QUOTE]

I think your are conflating the way gasoline engine maintenance was on a 1970's car where you would tune up every 20,000 or even more often, change points condenser and plugs.

A spark plug in a gas engine is constantly sparking. A glow plug is just for starting, it just needs to get hot once for each session, very simple.

With just 534 hours your Tractor is still in the diaper stage of its life, many many years are left.

That said I am more of the leave well enough alone mentality.

If you want to tinker, tinker away, but like you said you may fall into a bonanza of opportunities to tinker more if you snap the head off one of those fully functioning glow plugs.

But please enjoy your self Best of Luck.

Is this a New to you tractor?

Did you just connect the loader?

Since all quick connects are leaking did you relieve the pressure in the system before disconnecting reconnecting?

Are the quick connections clean ?

I guess you have a new rear mower? Did the you ever use the rear PTO for anything else like a brush hog? Does any rear PTO attachment work but not the new mower?The 955 last ones are from the late 1990 s so your tractor is at least 22 years old , original owner ?<br>

Sounds like you could have a PTO Clutch issue.

I hear what you are saying.

You could put the loader in position so that all pistons are retracted, turn engine off release pressure in Control, and disconnect the quick connects from the loader, now whatever you drain can be from the tractor only. Measure and put same amount in.

Flaw with that is the last time I did hydro fluid it went allover the place :-( so measuring no so good.

Best of luck .

I would check for current between both sides of the starter relay.

I cut my lawn super short fall in hopes of making leaf work easier and getting rid of some weeds by making them unhappy.<br>
<br>
Well both of those objectives sorta worked.<br>
<br>
Except the close mowing gave me my first crop of Hairy Bittersweet.<br>
<br>
So to counter that they do no like tall mowing of 3.5 to 4 inches, so I set my deck at 3.5 . After first mow looks good.<br>

Thoughts?

If you have not done it yet I would clean up the battery terminals. By full charge you mean voltmeter shows more than 12 volts?

While showing more than 12 volts is a good sign it does not mean the battery is up to the task of cranking the motor. The have battery testers that assess that in theory.

If you put the lights on while starting do they dim much, may be a short in the starter motor.

I think he means that buying tire at a Kubota Dealer vs a tire seller will be the same price more or less. NOT that a Kubota Dealer will sell you a tire mounted on a rim for the same price as Only a tire at a tire dealer. That would be way to good to be True !

That tractor with a Kubota Loader cost about 12500 with HSD 4WD when new in 2004.

On the hours, was it a one owner machine? You could probably find one that had 600 or so hours, but the one you are looking at was run 2.5 hours a week, not bad.

It is a very nice machine, when you say firewood, do you mean tossing some already split stuff in the bucket? Log Rolls? or skidding?

Too small for heavy logging. If just hauling split stuff around property you will need a trailer to tow around to be faster.
