    Finding a good 6.9 or 7.3 L engine to swap

    You quoted a shipped used engine for $2,400, and its going into the same 86". I think I would just have my engine rebuilt. Sure its costing your more but how much is piece of mind worth to ya?

    John Deere 5310 fuel pump leak?

    Guys I could'nt get enough info on the fuel pump issue to make me feel better about the tractor. Even if the stealership agreed to fix it I'm not certain that I could have know if they did or did'nt. So I decided to pass on this tractor and am settling for the 5300. It will go to work as soon as...

    John Deere 5310 fuel pump leak?

    Thats the thing that gets me. I myself cant understand why they wont fix it. So it must be a costly repair and the bought the tractor right and just want to pass it on. More than likely a saleman traded for it and did'nt even know it had a leak untell after. But I dont know about that.

    John Deere 5310 fuel pump leak?

    Is this for a 5310? I've looked all day at john deere.com and several part houses and could'nt find one for a 5310. Getting the leak fixed was the first thing that came out my mouth when the salesman told me about it. They are'nt going to fix it. They going to sale it as is. I dont know how...

    o.k. i'm lazy, but I need to know Ford diesel 7.3

    cypressfarms, I'm just wondering when you say hard to start what do you mean. Does it turn and turn and no fire or is it hard to turn or turn slow and dragging. Slow or dragging turns has nothing to do with the plugs but rather the battery. However if your starter is turning pretty good but you...

    John Deere 5310 fuel pump leak?

    I cant answer that. I sorta think that is what he said, but then again I know he said fuel pump I just cant remember if injection was mentioned or not. Do this tractors have 2 fuel pumps? I believe this tractor is direct injected. Its a 2000 model so theres no more warranty left on it. This will...

    o.k. i'm lazy, but I need to know Ford diesel 7.3

    You can leave it plugged up as long as you like. I dont think an hour or 2 is really helping. Just my opinion on that one. I'm in north Al and I had a couple rough mornings this year with my batteries. I have an 04 w/ a 6.0L. As far as the electricy goes on another forum this topic came up...

    John Deere 5310 fuel pump leak?

    I'm In the process of buying a john deere. I'm torn between 2 machines. A 5300 w/ a 520 loader and a 5310 w/ a 540 loader. The stealer is only asking $100 more for the 5310 and it's 3 years newer but has the nearly the same hours on each machine. The problem? I hooked up on the 5300 yesterday...

    '08 Ford F250

    I did buy a real truck. An 04 F250 Fx4 6.0L. As of yet it has'nt been out pulled by any measure. Its not fast so its not going to win any races but what ever you buckle it up to its going to move it.

    1/2 or 3/4 ton?

    A 300 six, 5.0L, or 5.4L will handle anything under 5 ton. Once your over 10,000lbs skill comes a major factor in your towing. I know cause I did for so long. Last year I traded my 04 fx4 F150 for a F250 Fx4 and havent looked back. I noticed some remarks that the diesel doesnt make much more...

    1/2 tons and goosenecks

    i've always used f150s. i could never put out the extra $10000 for a 250. a f150 with a 351 or 5.4L will handle up to say 10000lbs. theres servaul factors here to think about example : axles etc etc. BUT....... a f250 is better suited to handle the loads. i have a 24' flatbed trailer that i...

    Front Rotors on Ford Trucks.

    J.T i am a Ford fan but ......... go to any of your parts websites and look up rotors for your 250 and you'll see there is only 1 replacement. there may be different brands but 1 "size". and i think aroud 97 or 98 the brakes got beefed up. the 150's got the brakes of the 250's and so on. that...

    Ok...Don't laugh..........

    My best friend has a Belarus. i tell you that thing is a work horse for sure. it doesnt complain about anything. i'm like the others you cant go wrong with any tractor that works for $1100. you cant buy a tractor to restore around here for a $1000. i would jump all over it.
