It wasn't until 2 years ago that a CIH dealer opened within 40 miles of my parent's house, so parts availability was the biggest factor. He did consider a CIH when shopping for a replacement for one of his JDs this fall though.

I was just being cheeky Nick. I love old JD iron (and AC, and Ford, and Case, and Cat, and...) like I do IHC. What JD did for their struggling debtors during the depression (not forclosing loans and reposessing the equipment) was fantastic. The same thing won't happen now methinks. Different world. Anywho, Jeff's the guy with the unnatural prejudice against the Red. We go back and forth about it from time to time...:potstir:
 

Wifey got one free at a garage sale. Brody (3) loves it because it's like Pop-Oh's.

Hauls it around the back yard in the Truckmaster Express wagon with a chunk of maple for a 'log'.

That's allright, he just hasn't seen the light...... :) I like red the best.


At our farm we have:
IH 584, Super H, Cub lo boy, TD9 diesel w/drott loader.
Oliver Super 88, AG6 dozer, OC6 crawler.
Ford 1520 compact, FEL & Bhoe & an 8n

I have helped on a local dairy farm since I was about 13. Here's his lineup....
7030 Allis,(130hp) 7050 Allis, (150hp) 684 IH(60hp)
He has also had a 2594 Case IH (180 hp)
and a Ford TW-20 4wd (135 hp)

I have spent ALOT of seat time in the 7030, and 7050 allis (probably close to 1,000 hrs). Dollar per HP Allis has it. (Mark should smile at that one)

My favorite thing is chopping corn.....get 3 trucks runnin, you can chop alot of tons per day My favorite combo is the 7050, gehl 1060 automax chopper and richardton dump wagon.

I noticed that when it's time to get the work done.............you turn to the ALLIS!!!
Smart man!:cheers:

My mentor from long ago told me "An Allis-Chalmers WD, WD-45, or D-17 is the most horsepower you will ever buy for the money!"
So far that has been an absolute truth.
If I keep my eyes open I can buy 2 SLICK WD-45s for what a TO-20 Ferguson or 8N Ford will bring. There is no comparison between the two for work produced.
Kinda like Poulan saws and "those other guys".

Here is the lesson I learned with Hp for the money....
Ben bought the 7050 sight-unseen for $5300, DELIVERED. 2years ago
Since purchase date it has went down 1 time, alternator.
There has been scheduled maintainance of course, but The first job the 7050
did was put 1,000 tons of corn in the silos. It is a bad-a** machine for that money.
Now why does a 4440 cost 20k ? calm down, I'm just stirrin a little.....:potstir:

KJC
 
I'll stick with green saws and green tractors. If I have a job that requires more than a garden tractor and a large wagon, I will fall back on a 4020.

Nick
 
And you don't have to be lucky to get parts tomorrow. Just sayin.
Now I can't do anything about the price, but working for a guy that has CIH I'm told thats no longer a JD exclusive.

Yeah I smiled at that one. I was working at a Allis dealer around the time the 7000 and 7020 etc were just coming around. Seemed to be good units. Took alot to sell em new ones though when there 190XT were not wearing out though.

I see your 1510 listed, great little tractors, I had mine for 25 years around the house and finally just sold it because I came to the point I need/wanted a 4wd with a loader. I replaced it with a 2000 model NH TC-29.

Hows the cleaning up at grand dads coming, any new finds? How about all that IPLs etc?

I agree 100%, no wonder AC chose Poulan to build there chainsaws for them. :)


What plug should I be running in my 3400?

You sir, need a Champion CJ8 spark plug for the ole war horse 3400.


BTW I just got in from picking up a nice Poulan Pro. Might get a picture up after dinner. Lets just say I'm happy right now.

Hey all
I was wondering If anybody has any spare parts for a 3500. I mainly need an air filter. Mine went missing after I pulled it to clean it and the kids got a hold of it. I would gladly pay for it. Or does anyone know where I could find one. I tried some dealers and they say it's. I longer available. Is there a filter from another maker I could use. Any suggestions will help

William
 
It's probably not a 5020, so I'm guessing its a 655.

Nick

No the 655's seem to be more common than this one.

Sorry, I'm not sure where to find one, I dont have any but I do see them pop up on ebay from time to time.
 
Ok this is why I took a 40 mile detour on the way home from work. She aint been babied and it shows but the shop who had it had the muffler cover off when I got there so I could look at it. The P/C are mint! It pulls like it has super compression.

Started it right up and all it seemed to need at this point was a little carb tuning. I will tear it apart for a good cleaning and inspection though.

My dad ran JD's in high school thru early 20's.(4020, 4030,3010) I know full well they are top shelf equipment.

All in fun,

Nice saw Mark! I have its little brother the 375 and I am really attached to it even though it is yella. I notice your trigger kind of droops like mine. Must be normal.
