Classics Earning their keep.

[david]

They're trying to stop it but they'll have their work cut out, it's like a religion here.

Probably fly over to Ireland on an aeroplane to tell you !

But what the hell is going on, can't harvest peat in ireland but will be ok to import it from eastern Europe or wherever.

Now I’m interested. What is the little button on the side of the front cowl? I seem to remember JD tractors of the 70s and 80s having that.

And where is the air intake stack?

Sorry cant help you with the info that you are looking for.
I is a Belgium spec tractor so maybe different than the UK ones. It on arrived in from an other farm a few days ago not driven it yet. It is on log splitting duty's at the minute.
Will ask the boss about the button in the morning

 

[Soon_60]

The button is for opening up the hood to be able to service air filter.
Some of the bigger ones like 3650 have the same button (might be grey) but some have a rubbers straps behind the removable black side screens.

Just a reminder 20 years ago yesterday the final tractor was produced at Banner Lane Coventry. I wonder how many of the 3.3 million Banner Lane tractors are still earning their keep?

There are three here, but they don’t really earn their keep. My neighbour has a late one (4000 series ??) still putting in some good shifts.

Don’t think I’ve ever driven one with the buttons. All those I’ve had were fitted with the rubber straps.

Are you sure? I didn’t think hydrostatic steering came in until the 10 series in 1981. We had 6600’s without power steering and a steering wheel that filled the cab.
