Not my tractor, but I have put a lot of hours on it. It belongs to the owner of a farm where I rent the hayfields. Part of the arrangement is that the owner makes the tractor available to me if I need it. It is a gas job, which would probably be hotter than a diesel. It is also a utility, flanged rear axles, sweptback front axle, and underslung exhaust. When I use it, it is either for the loader, or it is an emergency, and I don't have time to remove the loader. I have unpinned the bucket itself a couple of times when I had it for more than one day and the owner didn't need it. This has an IH 2050? loader on it, which I think is overkill for that size machine. The whole machine has been rode hard and put away wet, and I am always nervous when I use it. The lights don't work the gage faces are scratched and yellowed to where you can't read them. All the warning lights are hanging down somewhere behind the dash, and the hood and grill are all smashed in from loading trucks with it before he got it. The exhaust manifold is cracked and has been welded over and over, because he bashes the muffler and pipe repeatedly while brush-hogging on rough ground. I did replace the parking brake when I had the trans open three years ago, but I don't think he uses it.I have given up fixing small annoyances on it because the repairs get torn up as soon as the owner uses it. He spent too many years on a timberjack skidder when he was younger, and hasn't gotten over it.
