This site will let you upload without registering http://tractorsearch.co.uk/images/ 640 pixels wide is a good choice. Dead simple!

Paul Apart from my non-tractor related work, I did buy a grease cartridge for the grease gun. As I put the cartridge in the gun, thought I should grease the 5000 and flail mower while I had greasy hands. Glad I did. While greaseing the front steering spindles, I noticed that my axle A frame rear piv...

Kirbust The S420376 tells us that the tractor has been fitted with a replacement engine at sometime. This number has nothing to do with your tractor. There are other numbers/letters on your tractor to tell us when she was made. This link will tell you where to find these numbers/letters combinations...
