Again thanks for the great feedback. You guys certainly did work those MF's hard but you got to do what is needed to get the job done. I've worked a lot of John Deere and International tractors hard but never had to replace any head gaskets but most are not turned up on the pump. Did have to replace a couple of clutches and T/A on the IH-3588 but that is not uncommon. Only head gasket problem was with a NorthStar engine in my Cadillac and they were notorious for the head bolts stretching in the aluminum heads. The MF 698 has a front end loader and only 1100 hrs and looks great but I haven't talked to the owner yet. He wants 18k for it but I was thinking of offering him something in the 15K arena if all systems check out good.

Not in a hurry, so I will keep looking and checking out local farm sales.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
