Finally!! The past month an ahalf fas been a real trying experience. I purchased a IH 444 that was in real strait shape from a notsolocal dealer...Gave 4750 for it when he wanted 5500! Then talked with my neighbor about haying together (he has all the equipment and nothing to run it) Problem was he has a roundbaler and haybine that i felt woulda really pushed the outer limits of the 444. So I got a hold of the dealer, explained my situation and he had just the thing...A JD 4020 in great shape. I kick in another 3000 and he drops it off at my place. I get home from work and sure enough this tractor was solid and clean......1 problem. Only set up for 1000 pto and after researching, it woulda cost 800 minimum to change over to 540! So back to the dealer we go(claimed he didnt realize it was only 1000 pto and had no idea how much it was going to cost) Actually he wanted me to slap an adapter on it and keep the rpms around 1000!! Yea right! Explained that wasnt an option and we need to figure out something else. I ended up in a 656 which i am VERY happy with. Unfortunately i have 8250 in it by the time it was all said and done!! I feel like that is a bit too much but really didnt have any choice since i was stuck with him after coughing up the cash for the 2 earlier tractors and he was very clear i wasnt getting my money back( i understand on the first tractor for sure!) What do you think? Thats real high for the tractor isnt it? The serial number i have is 2450028uo48689. Is the last 5 the real ser #? and its a gasser with normal tranny...no hydro or shuttle. any feedback appreciated! Sorry for the long story...just wanted to vent! Atleast we can get after some hay now!!!

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
