I have a ford 851.
This year, I have fixed a broken spindle. Then fixed it again when the bushing failed.
I"ve broken two hydrolic hoses.
The power steering hydrolic cylinder came loose and then bent. After getting it repaired, I broke the hydrolic line going to the cylinder trying to straighten it out.
I have a diesel line leak that I can"t quite get stopped.
The tractor mows fine but requires ether to start and I just found oil in the radiator.
I"m not sure I am up to owning an antique tractor.
I don"t make any money from my tractor, I"m just trying to keep 60 acres of grass and trees at bay. I can"t justify spending alot of money on a tractor but on the other hand, I"m spending a lot of money keeping my old tractor running.
I"ve been watching the paper for tractors but any thing that looks like it would fit the bill is too expensive or to far to actually go look at.
I"m not much of a mechanic, fixing up the old tractor would be expensive but much less than another tractor. I"m just afraid that no matter how much I spend, there will be another part that will break.
Where does one find decent iron? Auctions seem to be a way of replacing your problem with someone else"s. The local dealers don"t have much of a selection and the prices are very high.
