Re: Power Major gearboxproblem

Hallo Brian, hallo Adrian, I think I take option two, removing the handbrake, since I will not find the parts i will need here in my area. The tractor has no roadlicense and I don´t need it on the road. Lawn mowing, driving a pto generator and pretty soon operating a square baller will work out ok, ...

Re: Ford 8000 4 wd

County made equal wheeled versions of both the 8600 and the 9600 but not many 8000 made it across to this side of the pond.
