Always a day late -

Been there did that. I wanted another M9 with hydraulic shuttle (no dry clutch) to go with my other M9 (same setup with a cab) and was perusing the for sale tractors on some website and saw an M9 open station, hydraulic shuttle with loader, 3 sets of remotes and front wheel assist 300 miles from here, so the next day I jumped in my buggy, went up and bought it from a JD dealer.

It's a 2004 with 3500 hours. Nice thing is the loaders on both of them will interchange, they both have the same size tires, hold the same amount of oil and hydraulic fluid and both have cast center wheels.

3500 hours is nothing on the turbocharged inline 4. They even delivered it no charge. I gave 18 for it which is real fair for a 90 horse front wheel assist tractor.

Now I have 2, matching bookends, one with a cab and one without. The 2004 and my 2006 cab unit.

Been looking for a while. Sometimes finding what you want with certain specs can be difficult.
