Show us your tractors

Is that a Tafe? Those were sold over here for awhile and were an MF licensee.

Former Yugoslavian "IMT", manufactured in (now) Serbia.
I think Tafe bought "IMT" , not sure though - some Indian company did.

These were fairly good tractors and served "this market" well back in the days.
They used to be cheaply fixable so premature wear and breakdowns weren't much of an issue.
There are quite old ones still zooming around, some on their second and even third generation in-family first owners.

Discovered something, the new gasket is a wee bit wide for the cover. Meaning, it is getting squeezed out when you tighten it. I carefully trimmed it and removed some material, then resealed with High Tack. I guess if that doesn't work I'll ask the dealer about it, should have done that in the first place. I keep forgetting that I can actually go visit them now that I have a day off during the week.

Are you using aftermarket gaskets?

 

[FergusonTO35]

Yes. Probably a big mistake.

Yes. Probably a big mistake.

Get a dealer gasket and go from there.

Started right up today.
I did an unwanted & unexpected wheelie stepping on the diff lock to get moving on a steep uphill area.
The attachment was raised off the ground and counterwheited the tracktors front.
Gave me a little scare suddenly seeing both tree crowns AND the tractors hood!

I am considering to get a small digger, a wheeler should be more universal than a rubber tracked one.

Wouldn't we all

I sorta would like to have a mini excavator.

I would have bought a backhoe for my tractor at a later date but for some reason you can’t have a John Deere cab and a backhoe. So heated cab won out for snow blowing in the winter

I have the same one, only with us it is called Ursus 4011, it differs in wheels and I have a shorter mask. There is a Zetor inscription on the gearbox / 55 years old

Ended up w a backhoe. For what I do the hoe is more handy. If you’re buying might be worth thinking about

 

[jakethesnake]

If you’re not “digging for hire” a good hoe can dig a lot. I use the front more than the back. Have dug ditched with it and layed irrigation pipe
I’d miss the heavy duty loader if I switched

 

[Wilhelm]

I considered a mini excavator for some earth/dirt removal in the yard, but once that'd be done I'd have little to no use for it.

Now I am thinking a mini tractor with backhoe that I can also use to pull a little trailer trough the bushes and possibly push some snow in the winter.

A used mini tractor also seems to be a little more affordable than a used mini excavator.

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap!

So, I'm still plugging various leaks on the Ferguson165. The injectors are seeping fuel right where they plug into the head. Is this just a matter of removing them and replacing the o-rings? I've heard some heard some diesel injectors are hard to pull. Done many on efi gas engines but never on a mechanical diesel.
