Bought a Massey-Ferguson 175Diesel, do-it-yourself kit. The motor was apart because it had run out of oil and spun a rod bearing.

Crank turned, bearings, gaskets, and put it to work.

Pushed the throw out bearing through the clutch,new bearing, new fingers, new disk.

PTO quit, new PTO clutch, new PTO brake disk, new auxiliary hydraulic pump, gaskets, etc.

PTO brake disk broke, disk, gaskets, oil, etc.

Head gasket.

Head gasket again, gasket, new valves, head surfaced, new head bolts @$10 EACH.

~!!@#$Head gasket again!!!! Bad injector= partial hydraulic lock= blown head gasket. Rebuild injectors, pistons, sleeves, bearings, gaskets, etc.,etc.

Discouraged and depressed, bought the parts and then let it all sit for five years, got it back together last fall, and now it needs a power steering pump, and brakes, and there i9s a bad oil leak from the front of the transmission.

I have spent more money in repairs on this tractor than on all seven of my others, not counting the two that went swimming last fall, and have gotten a lot less use out of it.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
