    L2501 Hydraulics - How far is too far?

    Hi all.......I have a 2 year-old L2501D with a LA525 FEL. I serviced it today and just for "HA-HA's" I threw a pressure gauge on the hydraulics. According to Kubota, The L2501 hydraulics operate at 2205PSI. Mine was 2057PSI. No big deal, I understand this kind of thing happens over time and I...

    Which Old Ford Tractor??

    That's what I understand. There are quite a few vintage Fords on my local Craigslist but no Ferguson's yet. I think I'm going to expand my search into the 600 and 800 series too.....

    Which Old Ford Tractor??

    I was with a friend last week at an equipment auction and saw an old Ford 8N go for $900.00. The price didn't capture my attention at all. It was the lines on the sheet metal and the sound of that gasoline engine. That night, I was looking at YouTube and saw the 2N, 8N, 9N and the '53 NAA Golden...
