Well, it was final yesterday.......my trouble with allis wd-45 is now over. But I still have the need to find a good...make that great, wd-45. I traded this one for a 610 bobcat. For now it was the thing that needed to be done. I needed a small unit, but will still need a hay tractor. So the search continues. For now I am busy "playing" with the new toy. It was delivered yesterday morning and I have already put 10 hours on it. So if your looking for a set of rear wheel weights, I may part with these I have. Keep me in mind if you have a "good deal" for a nice well maintained tractor. You can take the orange off the farm, but it still runs in your blood.

well, a variety of things made me decide to sell her. The major thing was the once in a while "death" knock she would get once she warmed up. I let the loader go with her and that leaked on the cylinders, which is no big deal. She used oil and her clutch wasn't as tight as it should be. Nothing major for an expert to handle, but with my limited means and shop availablity, it was a better choice to send her down the road and find one later. I know there are better ones out there and better suited for me.

I think you'll find you can do an awful lot with that bobcat. Maybe not lift as much, but you'll run circles around a tractor and loader of the about the same era/caliber. -Wes
