That's what we are doing. If he ever gets to it. He is suppose to have a fuel guage ordered and the front hydraulic coupling. He agreed to replace them to start with, but they delivered it almost two weeks ago, and I have called twice about getting it back in and getting it fixed. The reason we were checking it out, is that if it leaking much, then we might cause more damage by running it. But, hey, the reason we bought it was to use, or we would not have bought it. We haven't done anything to it, except try to check out what's going on with it. Maybe nothing. Anyway, the dealer told me if my husband had time to do the work, that he would supply the parts. (He knows us well.) We don't want to have to tear it down if there is nothing really wrong with it. We are not trying to get to anyone, but then we don't want a bad tractor either. But from what most people say; that we need to run it some up to operating temperature to see what it is going to do. Right now, all we are doing is a few minutes here and there with the loader or bushhog. If the weather clears and it stops raining for a few days, we are going to hook up the hay mower to it. We have run it less than two hours since we got it. As I said, the main thing is when can the dealer get it in and out. We have a friend who had his tractor in the shop there for 3 months and it was still doing the same thing when it came out, so he had to send it back. The dealer means well, but he never has enough good mechanics to keep up. I understand that, as I sometimes have the same problem within my business. He will do what he says, but it is just when that concerns me. Anyway, we have decided not to just park the tractor and wait, but to use it normally, and let the chips fall where they will. We never abuse a tractor. If it fails, we will have to fix it if the dealer won't or can't get to it. We have already purchased it, so there is no turning back. Thanks for all your input and suggestions.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
