Anyone have any input on a Challenger mt525b, one is up for auction close to me and wanted to know the good or bad. Is it just a Massey painted yellow or different. Thanks.

maybe hit up Doctor Allis, he's never owned a cat but has a lot of experience around the repair side of them.

Mechanically they are the same as a MF, the electronic part is just different enough that a MF dealer cant work on a Challenger and a Challenger Dealer can not work on a MF. The 600 series and larger use different cab interiors than a MF but i think MT500 are still mostly the same.

Lynn, make sure Showers is a ag dealer. Some are only construction and will not touch an ag tractor. Scott
