that man has helped a lot of old cows find their resting place! 

Sounds like Washington State may get a few people in the cabinet, rumor of Cathy McMorris Rodgers being viewed for Interior sectary. Would be a good fit! she represents my district and has been a good rep. 

Mike, thanks.....already tried them, my tractor is "too new" for them to help me

that fits great ...just sent it to one of the wife's old school mates who drives one, ........cant wait to see  what his reply will be 

Little feller looks to be handier than a lunch box! Does it have a hydrostatic trans? I have looked at a few of the Cub Cadets and tried to justify having one of the little critters around, but either my lawn mower, 4 wheeler, or the bobcat will do for the smaller jobs.

its a wonder that they are not arrested for flag burning in public under "inciting a riot" or "perpetrating violence"  or other similar charge. 

also check all the charge air couplers and after cooler, how's is your manifold pressure ?

Hey, I can do that any day I want in a Porsche instead of a truck!

Who in the hell wants to drive a Porsche?.........It would take me 10 min. to get into it and half a day to get out of the damn sardine can!............just my .02

wish I could send them people some of our weather! we are forecasted for snow by the a.m. and by this time next week they say a high of 22 degrees, after two years of wild fires my heart goes out to all involved may God be with you......and the government type I teams be far away!!!!  they will keep the fires burning. Be vigilant ! but be safe!!!

After 6 years of living in the country I'm still shopping for my first tractor. My favorite is the N series Fords, but they're too heavy for my Ranger pickup with it's 3500 pound tow rating to haul around. Then I saw the little Japanese built Ford 1100s and 1200s that Ford sold during the 80s and 90s,  and fell in love- Lighter than an 8N, diesel power, and all wheel drive wrapped in Ford blue! Then I saw the prices... Half the price of a new Kubota or Yanmar powered Deere for a quarter century old tractor? I'm running into the same outrageous pricing for most all the old tractors, other than the really too big tractors or the 8Ns- Heck, I've seen a ratty Kubota that wouldn't even start go for $2K! The IH Cubs are light enough for my pickup to haul, but the implement options are limited. So looks like I'll finally have to break down and buy new, hard to justify spending $5k on a two or three decade old Ford, Kubota, or Yanmar/Deere when I can get a new BX18 Kubota for $9k or a Deere/Yanmar 1 series for not much more.

what I cant figure out is a side by side UTV costs more than a compact tractor, a whole lot more machining goes into a tractor! I guess UTV's are for play and there for worth more.......I don't get it!

I can see both points here, flag burning is freedom of speech or expression however you want to say it! But my answer to flag burning would be .....you had better not be receiving any benefits from the government, and if you are, they are revoked! And then secondly, any us military personal who likes to fight or any citizen for that matter should kick their ass! Then maybe they will have some respect and learn that if you disagree with what's going on, you can fly your flag upside down as a symbol of distress.

in the early 90's Boeings machinist union went on strike , I was working on Boeing property doing site work (moving 3.5 million yards) for a new 747-400 prep pad.  One afternoon when returning to the site, one of the union goons threw a rock at my pick up.....boy did his eyes get big when I slid to a stop and then opened the 4 barrels in reverse. I stopped about 3 feet from him and exited the cab with a 3/4 drive breaker bar in hand.....at the same time a Wash. State trooper also showed up! I received a stern warning from the trooper, the goon was relieved of the picket line as well as his strike pay!

I dunno about in the States, but farm tractors hold their value real good here. Even ones 30 years old are still worth good money. This will change as all the electronics on them will become the thing that fails, and we will end up with tractors parked because you can't get boards for them anymore. Sad but true I feel.

Paul 

Paul, the 125 hp. and less tractors are holding their value well here the larger hp. tractors drop pretty good after 10,000 hours or 20 years.  A good case Ih Magnum 7130 mfd  with 7-8000 hours is worth around 30-35k a newer mx255 with duals front and rear with 4-5000 hours will bring around 50-55k ,  a 300 + hp  steiger  like a 9150 can be had for 30k, some times less, combines seam to face plant rather quickly what was a 170k machine will be a 30k machine in 10 years or less and only have 3-4k hours on the machine.

1 man or woman= 1 vote.

I understand this concept just fine! what you are not hearing is, a  small  geographic  area should not be able to control a whole state or country. Rules or laws that make since in a urban area don't always work for rural populations, that's why we have local laws and protocol's, to  best fit  your immediate area,  but when a large group dictates to a smaller  group in a different area, it don't work well.    case in point how is it fair that a bunch of wolf loving liberals  in Seattle can tell me how to farm 250 miles away, where if I kill a wolf eating my livestock I go to jail !  but if I lived another 20 miles east of where I do I wouldn't go to jail ! because they are no longer protected on the other side of the river!  that's why we need the electoral collage to protect the  whole country from the small population centers, so that things are fair to all.

Funny when you lose the election you want to change the rules, Trump did not bother to waste his time in states like CA. WA or OR. he played his cards right and won, long before the election I saw all the liberal news showing their electoral vote maps with all the states Clinton was going to carry, she didn't, if she won then the system would have worked, she didn't and it still works. getting a bunch of uneducated people to go along for the free lunch program is easy, getting elected with out the free lunch program is not. The Democrat party is the party of mindless minnions for the most part. you cannot stand that us deplorable clinkers won, and we did not have to bribe anyone.  

six county's in Wa. voted for her! the rest of the state voted against her! much like the popular vote verses the electoral collage , 6 county's  should not be able to dictate how the whole state is run, (or country)  a hundred mile strip of the I-5 corridor  should not be able to control the whole show !  our state needs to amend its constitution  and use the electoral collage approach for a fair representation in "state" government . I'm sure that eastern Ore. feels the same.

there are bunches of guys around here that are deep into older tractors  and most of our local farmers still use older stuff so there seems to be lots of parts around. just have to find them. pa. has lots  western md. as well as va .and wva.  bet we can find that stuff some where.        how about red power?

I love my red power! even if part of it is yellow (2410b) the red is two hydro 84's  I have a new Kubota and an 09 case ih 105u, but my favorite is the hydro, having the orchard I spend a lot of hours spraying and that is the most comfortable tractor to spend the day on! after 4-5 hours on the kubota  I have to get off of it for a while  (feel like a monkey riding a football) but they are the most dependable "new" tractor for the orchard application.  

I'm sure its out there ..........just might be in a landfill I would be a pack rat if I worked at dpn. I know every so often they would dump excessive  old stock that didn't sell, the problem is some of the stuff you don't need for 20+ years after it was built.

wiring harness  # 3125849r92   dash panel  #3121701r3  l.h. panel 3121711r4 and r.h. panel 3121712r3 ....the tractor is a  international harvester 84 hydro ser# 005019

I used to work for the dealership I use. We sourced Case IH parts, Case IH vintage parts and dealer parts network (dpn). I found they must have parts thru several sources but I can't get a replacement wiring harness, dash plate or the dash side cowling (plastic crap the sun has killed).

mehhhh. that would wear you guys out too quick, and then you would not be able to do anything for the rest of the day!!

I typically don't do anything after snow all day any ways .....and that looks to be a more enjoyable ride than a tractor or dozer 

the problem is manufactures don't want you to fix any thing anymore, spent 2/3 of the day on the puter trying to find parts for a 30 year old tractor. Its too old for the dealer to supply parts and too new for the vintage or classic guys to carry them. never thought a 70 hp. international tractor that sold in the tens of thousands would be obsolete!

how much blow by does this engine have while running? if there is a lot you may need to replace some worn rings, how did the liners feel at the top when you had the heads off? could this engine have been dusted? the blow by will tell if it has.
