I was suggesting that if they could read THEIR serial numbers of engine and tractor…. your engines likely were made the same year as your tractors.

No, The A begins the actual serial number of the engine. The D1102 is the engine type. (The “D” is for the German word ”Drie” for the number of cylinders (3). The 1102 is the approx displacement in CCs. Your serial number precedes the change in methodology of number assignments which occurec...

Skip to 4:15 to see how Mike refers to “two sets”: Also, Messicks refers to them as “sets” of remotes:

Yes, the 9N was great at what it was designed for…. Pull a 2 bottom plow. It’s amazing the numbers of jobs for which it was repurposed and did very well….. just not many of us still need to pull 2-bottom plows anymore. :oops:

When my grandson was 5 years old I gave him a tricycle John Deere tractor for his birthday. His Mom called me that night to Thank me for that tractor….. little Chase had INSISTED that it be IN BED with him for the night. 🤣

The cost of that 9N versus what a simple tractor costs today….. and the fact that 9N had paid off it’s owner many decades-ago…. would have to be figured into the equation to compare apples to ORANGE (s). ;) My 1939 9N did its share of paying-off it’s cost over 18 years of hard mowing for me...

He didn’t ask how many “sets” of remotes… His question implied how many individual he needed… so I wanted to make that clearer. ;)

I wonder what it was that caused the design engineers of the ecoboost to create an engine that FAils to deliver full performance on the oils they ACTUALLY RECOMMEND for that engine? (they do not even mention “Royal Purple”. (I guess it’s an internal secret that they don’t want owners to get...

Actually you need two for each operation.

I didn’t mix it. Majic mixed it. It was in a rattle-can.

Do you really think the fuel consumption difference will make up for the higher costs of initial purchase price and also maintaining a turbo of the M8540? And the 7040 is NOT “under stress” when it runs at PTO speeds. It’s designed to do that.

Here’s how I added a brake warning: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/parking-brake-reminder-caution-lamp-installation.48021/

The way I read your post…. I only saw you placed a Value or Price on the topic. I was adding the LABOR also required to maintain a horse. Then there are Vet bills. Farrier bills. (and the time spent attending those appointments) Mucking out the stalls. Harness and Tack. Tractors are...

Machinery and objects have emotions..?? :rolleyes:
