Well,the decision is made. JD Farmer and I can compare notes as we go along. I bought the new model 2860. I went and looked at the 283. It just looked light and cheap next to the 2860. The impellers were nylon instead of steel,belt drive instead of gear drive,songle speed impellers,the suspension was totally different. On the 2860,the header kind of comes back and up at the same time,where the 283 looked like it just bounced up. It just looked like 1970's technology next to the 2860. The knives were bolt on with the 283,the 2860 has spring steel on the bottom of the disc and there's a tool that you slide in,then pull down and it opens it up so you just pull the old one out,slide a new one in and you're back in the seat,ready to go. From the look of it,there's no real danger that they're going anywhere unless you want them to. There was $1500 difference in price,the 283 was cheaper,but most of that was due to the difference in the rebate. $500 rebate on the 2860,$1500 on the 283. Must be they want to get rid of the remaining 283s.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
