Wow! You guys are great. I told my pals at work today
about this web site and it made them all want to go out and get computers. Thanks for all the replys.

Maybe I could ask a couple more questions:

The flow diverter valve that moves the hydraulic power from the mid deck cylinder to the three point cylinder is frozen in the down position. I have'nt bought the tractor yet but if I do can I take the cover off the housing where that plunger type valve is and try to lube it up to free it? (The three point cylinder also needs some cleanup before I try to run it in.) Where does a guy go to learn what it takes to work on something like this? Can anybody reccomend a good book on the subject? This tractor is supposed to come with the original manuals but I wonder how much help they will be...

Thanks again for your time answering my questions. I have 7 acres in the foot hills of the Oregon coast range and if there was ever anybody who needed a little "power assist" it's me. This is probably more tractor than I could ever hope to afford right now.

Warm regards,

Tracy
