Hi Something you have to remember with tractors is the clock resets at 10.000 hrs on most. you have to start looking a ware on linkages clutch and brake pedals to see how warn dimples are on them and other general stuff like tires being original or half worn replacements.
I have personally seen some that the only way a guy new it was 16.000 hrs not 6000, was the guy was honest and told me. The tractors had high standards of maintenance/service and 1 or 2 drivers assigned to them from new with the farm they were on.
Just had to tell a guy thats had a 1830 Deere from new it's mechanically worn out at 16000 hrs, only thing appearance wise wrong was 1 odd tire and some rot in the rear fenders on an early 70's. tractor. I know another guy got a 5000 hr 4010 clock works but when you look at gear shift linkage and other ware its closer to 15.000 hrs and worn out to.
Older low hour tractors can be a pain just the same as low mile vehicles. A guy babied it the next guy puts hard work on it then everything that fell off the rest of them under warranty falls off when you own it, and have to pay to fix it. There is no real easy answer to it. I would rather have higher hours well maintained/ all updates/ warranty work done. than low hours never greased or serviced, updated personally. Some of this stuff out there is 1 careful lady owner and 99 idiot drivers from what I see round L.O.l. That can be on 2 year old expensive stuff, which gets real worrying, when dealers clean it up and fix the damage. Regards Robert

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
