    If this investment saves me from a "hospital trip" trying to lift something, :whistle: It already has paid for itself! :rofl: :lol::) My back isn't 20 years old anymore. :picard:o_O

    If this turns out to be as useful as when I got my lil forklift (and this should be MUCH more useful than a forklift!) you will wonder how you ever did without one!

    WeldrDave FWIW, around here that's a $7000.00 machine in working condition. New tires pretty much add their value to the price. IMHO Ya did real gooder!

    That's reassuring!!! :yes: :cool: The man I bought it from told me he paid 5K when he bought it. He put on the new front tires last year and he told me it "always" needed rears. He has put a few lines on it and some minor other things.

    You'll do fine with that machine. Good solid workhorse. Hydraulic lines are 1/2" I think & can actually be bought at farm supply stores. Tires I might wait till you get out of the socialist state you're in & try a local ag tire dealer. My M has 12.4 38" tires. I bought a good used set & had them put on on sight for about $ 600.00 total. Don't wrestle those wheels yourself. Tire guy will do it right on the tractor.

    That machine should serve you well. I had a 13.4 x 24 tire replaced on my Kubota 10 years ago I purchased the tire from a local JD dealer and they gave me the name of a guy that would change it. He did it on site at my house drained CC pulled old tire off rim replaced with new tire and refilled with CC $80.00 I gave him $100.00.
    My point is ask around at local dealer they may have subs that do that sort of thing.

    Done, I'll get'm tomorrow, I'm gonna run it well then change the oil and filter. "God knows" when it was changed last? The guy I bought it from said he hasn't changed it but he said he only ran it maybe 100 or so hours. Considering this, the oil felt ok, wasn't diluted, didn't smell of diesel and really didn't look bad.

    Ok, here's some good stuff! here's pics of tires and you'll see why I want new tread! "AND" a new seat!!! :p I got a bolt mark in my @$$ from sitting on the driver seat! The backhoe seat was better than the drivers seat. You all will get it now! It had an oil change today and it runs so well! Kinda tickled with that.
    Enjoy the pics!

    I don’t think any tire has ever needed to be replaced more than those:). The machine is looking great WeldrDave !
