Why would the rods "go"? The engine never over revved and is governed.

I dont think you could blow that engine up if you wanted to. Those french engines in those tractors are bulletproof. I do suspect the oil pressure gauge isnt working right though as they usually run higher than that.

Clearly the guy doesn't really understand much on that tractor, nor does he know how to treat one right, but I don't really think it was in any danger of rods coming loose. :-) At least not today. I looks like that video was shot to sell the tractor to a particular person over the internet, and if I were the buyer I would be running!!!! While trying to check out his girlfriend, there is a huge root or stump or something jammed up between the rim and tire on the right rear, high RPM while changing gears, and lack of maintenance, "I just never got around to taking 2 seconds to put in a keeper pin"

He won't even fix the simple stuff so you can expect that he neglected everything else. Lights are not hooked up. Rear tail light housing broken and rear lens cover broken. I noticed he didn't clean off the mower deck or tractor after bush hogging the day before. I always grab the blower and blow mine off after each use. Simple inexpensive stuff. I'd run.

anybody who's used a bush hog for what they're intended, will tell you they don't last very long. we get 1-2 years out of one. Get cut up on every branch they hit, rub the deck and chunk apart, pretty expensive to replace. Mine doesn't have one any more either.

We have a guy at work that every day he climbs in the semi starts it up, as soon as the engine fires up he floors and holds there for at least 45-60 secounds. He has done this for years no matter what truck or how long the truck sat. Must be a habit when he was bus driver for Greyhound.

It is not a four banger Allis engine so it don't sound like one. I could not see one single thing that looked like he wasn't treating the engine correctly. Looks like a good tractor to me. If I were to want a a a a Shudder Ja Ja Ja John Du Du Du Deere I would go for it. He wasn't trying to hide anything unlike a lot of the fellers I bought tractors from in the past. I give him four thumbs up.

You are in the minority. I have cleaned the top of mine of maybe two times in 20 years. I only have lights hooked up on two tractors. At least six I don't have battersy in. I use a jump start battery. Bad guy aint I ??

You are a very, very bad guy Dick but I'd still let you turn a wrench on any of my stuff. LOL
