Not sure how many tractors we owned since my dad bought the first one (an Avery)in 1951, but it's probably 30 or more. Only bad one was a 190XT; I was still working for my dad and he thought we needed another 4020-size tractor. It was practically new and we had a good relationship with the A-C dealer. (There were Ford, JD, Case, A-C and Farmall dealers in the county at the time; only JD is left). At the time, we were using twin 110 gallon saddle tanks (on the tractors) for chemicals and the ones for the JDs wouldn't fit, so I spent a couple of days making racks, plumbing a new pto pump, etc. We were used to tractors having 2 oil systems......one for engine and the other for everything else. I disremember exactly, but the the XT had 4 or 5 oil compartments and it was impossible to keep the oils separated. When a seal or gasket would fail, oil would foam out all over. In the 2 or 3 months we had the thing, it spent more time in the shop than in the field; we carried it to the dealer for the last time and he refunded all the purchase money; went and bought another 4020....

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
