If you don't do something to keep the final on the hanger it will come off on it's own.
You can trust me on that.
Fortunately, in my case, no feet or finals were hurt during the experience.

John, Been there, done that. For my day job I have been in the heating business for 37 years. I have traveled all over North America lecturing people on how to sell, install and service all types of residential, commercial and industrial equipment. Want to guess when the boiler in my basement was la...

I think I saw one at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Canada.
It was restored but a static display at the time.

I had a diesel truck that did the same thing once.
Turns out it was sucking air not fuel.
Filled the tank, purged the air and never let the tank get that low again.
No more problem.

If memory serves, and at my age it doesn't as often, the John Deere medallions on the sides of the hood with the black background were only used for industrial machines.
Ag machinery used a yellow background.
But they could have been changed, but why?

And the ribbon is almost the right shade of yellow.
That has to be worth something!

Steven,

I'm in Columbia, up in the mountains by the Water Gap.

Here's that $16,000.00 ribbon again.

A roto tiller needs a pretty high PTO horsepower, depending on the size and soil conditions maybe more than a 40 could handle. Working a hay field with a crawler would do a pretty good amount of damage. I would in your circumstance look for a wheel tractor first. Be sure it can handle the tiller you...

Good luck with it.
Let us know how she works out, with pictures.

I saw a 440IC in PA with 831 loader, good undercarriage and tracks, everything working, nice repaint.
Had a crack in the loader frame that had been welded multiple times and was cracked again.
It sold for $7500 about 3 months ago.
Hope this helps.

My wife always says when I drag home another project:
"I know where he is and I know what he's doing."

The 440IC loader at Wengers was a gas model. It looked good, ran good but had a weld on the loader frame that had been re welded several times and was cracked again. I don't know what the problem was, the rest of the machine looked in good shape, not abused. Keep looking, what you want is out there....

Eric,

Let us know what your E.T. and top end are after the air flow upgrade.

I saw this listing and thought someone out there might want it.
It's a little rich for my budget right now.
