What is a "utility" tractor?? I farm around 300 acres, and in some folks minds, all I have are "utility" tractors. I make hay, plant corn , grow grain , do every thing you can do on a 50-60 cow dairy farm. I like tractors in the 100hp range. Because they are big and heavy enough to pull a 5 furrow plough,run a round baler, or pull a wagon load of big round bales ,without getting pushed around by the weight of the load. I bought a new Kubota tractor this summer, 135hp 4x4 with loader . And it will do every job I have , while still being the same over all size and weight of my 66hp Ford 5640. But the 5640 cannot do many of the jobs the Kubota can do, just not enough power.All new tractors under 100hp will be built some where other than USA, and any tractor I buy will come from a foreign country, as there are no tractors built in Canada. But if you want to talk old tractors, give me J.I.Case built in the good old USA.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
