A few of my thoughts that you didn’t ask for. 1. 1300 hrs seems really low. But with as good of shape as it’s in and those tires, it’s possible that they are correct. 2. I also find mine is awkward to get on and off. But once I’m sitting in the seat it’s OK. 3. I’m always jealous when I watch your videos and see you still have the OEM top link! 4. A 2wd loader tractor always has traction limitations. The diff lock would help, but not enough that you wouldn’t still want a FWA. 5. The rear hydraulics being tied up with the loader would be an issue for me. I’d have to get a power beyond block or something. 6. Definitely fuel efficient machines. I’ve raked 18 acres with a bar rake and tedded another 8 with a 2 basket tedder and used 2-3 gallons. 7. I’ve found that Ward Brothers Tractor, Holtreys, and Burkholders Tractor have been good places to find the not so common parts. I can drop contact info if needed.

Great to hear from you! I'll gladly take the comments : ) I had wondered if the hours were off since they are so low, but I think it is correct mainly based on how much tread on left on the tires which still have the "Made in West Germany" on them. I can't possibly imagine someone importing those tires as replacements, but suppose it's possible. For the seat I think I'm going to mod an adapter plate to move it back another couple inches which should help. I didn't know the top link was so precious! I definitely need to get that diff. lock fixed and see how much it helps me. Right now I don't have anything needing hydraulics off the rear. If I ever get a haybine or any folding rake I'll be quickly motivated to free them up! Much appreciate the lead on the parts dealers! I'll let you know if I need info and can't find it. Take care!

@ Made in West Germany is indicative of the iron curtain. So most likely the tires were manufactured pre early 90’s. So they are likely original. And to your comment on new tires, I just recently priced some 13.6-28’s for another Ford 3600. I could get Alliance Agristar II for $530/tire. Firestone Evo’s were $755.

I have a d4006. Your diff lock may be fine. Mine will NOT go down unless one of the tires spin. When a ture spins that is when you press the diff lock. While pressing down it will not click down at first. Keep pressing down and after a second or so it will click down and engage the lock. Its like a gear has to line up while the diff is slipping and once it lines up the pedal goes on down. You have to hold the pedal down as long as you want it locked because when you lift your foot off the pedal will come up with you and inlock the diff. Hope this helps. Ive jad mine arpund 13 years. Bought it with my home at the time from the original owner. He said he bought it in 72. Id love to see the terminal that feeds the rear rem o tes. Mine came with a blank terminal so no rear remote. I have an aftermarket terminal on it now that adds a rear remote. I'd love to see the oem one and how it works. Thanks.

Very interesting tip on the diff lock. Next time it is snowy I'll give this a try and see how it goes. I've definitely stepped on it, but not sure If I've held it down for any time while tire are slipping. Very cool that you got yours from the original owner. I think mine was just a quick pass through from the original owner the way the seller described how he got ahold of it, but no way to be certain. I'll try to get some better views of the OEM terminals. Could you let me know what brand your aftermarket terminal is? Thanks!

@@Buttons_fix_it I am almost certain I ordered it from Ward Bros. I thought it was going to be a factory valve pulled form a tractor. What I received was what looks to be new machined part. It works but since I put it on I get a little hydraulic whine. I'd like to source an original.

@Fixinlikeapro very interesting that is was aftermarket! Thanks for letting me know. Been really busy here so haven't dug deeper on my OEM one but it's on my list!
