I have a MD that i have and i want the rear end or at least the nine speed. I'm on the fence on selling it, fixing it, and parting it. I have it on the YT adds and am asking just what i paid for it. I know alot of the parts are very spendy on this tractor and i could help save other md's that are in need of parts. I Also could just fix it and sell it or keep it. I really don't like parting out tractors as i like them alot and hate seeing them scrapped or just sitting not being used. It has alot of potential plus i have 600 gallons of diesel fuel just sitting there to for me to use. I guess i don't care about making money on the deal but if i do thats ok and if i lose a little..... i look at helping out another tractor in need. Whatwould you guys do? it just needs a new gear in the front of the engine. How are the diesels comparred to the gassers? I never drove a md before mine. thanx ahead of time.

That's totally up to you if you want to fix it or part it. If you post on this forum and ask if you should part it or fix it, most people are going to tell you that you should fix it.

I thinking their will be some upset people when the ycall you and you sya youre going to keep it. You obviously have your dughts about it and your ability to fix it, so in my honest opinion you should just sell it and be done with it.Let someone with the time,money and knowledge fix it before it ruins sitting there in your yard waiting on you to make up your mind. Not trying to be brutal or an ahole about it, just giving you my honest opinion.

I dint bother me any which way it would of went. I had it on the yt site and was asking just what i paid for it.(it is now off) its not that i don't wanna fix it but i bought another tractor and the Md is going to have to take a spot out side now. I don't let ANY of my TRACTORS just sit and rot away. I have charged the battery once as it isent the best battery but it will work for a while but i will replace it. The engine turns over nicley and i make sure it gets 10-15 seconds of cranking time to keep her limber weekly. also i have moved the tractor a few times also. it last ran april 17th 07. I have now decided since i havent had any real lookers out there that i will just fix it. I just cant work on them as long as i would like to...Due to my disiablity..... but i will get it done. I'm gonna take the front part of the tractor off to acess the front of the engine.I have a friend who can help with the hard heavy stuff. I might just put in super md parts so i could upgrade to live hydrolics. The md gears wernt desinged for live hydrolics. I'm probally gonna like it so much i will trade the front off my M with the narrow on the md. I will keep you guys posted. Oh ya its not a money thing john its just i don't know what i wanna do. I should have a 30X50 quansit within a few months so i can keep it under cover. Also the shop where i would do my work had a tree go thru the roof in a wind storm and i need to keep the aera clear so they can fix it next week. Then i will take her apart. I already have aq i.h. guy that will lone me the stands and also any "tools" that i may need. if i stumble on somthing he will walk me thru it. If i can rebuild a transmission of a ford mustang i should be able to handel this. Thanks for all the advice guys i'm gonna fix it. only 16,000 made!

Fix the MD. They are going up in price. With the nine speed it will be worth more. I can help you find a new gear if you want.

Personally I would rather spend the time and money to fix it. I've never been one to favor parting out unless there is a whole load of stuff wrong with them.
