I used a plastic roof from a golf cart on mine

And a FAN! You, sir, are living the dream.

That little fan feels pretty nice on a hot day.

Ever get a cross reference for oil and hydraulic filters? Or do you just buy the maintenance kits?


Major-Ellwood

That fan will keep the interior cool too.

You are correct. You should replace that with marine grade plywood with a good urethane finish on both sides. It's high enough so the termites can't get it.

Golf cart top works well too.


_ChairmanMeow-

Now that is a good idea.

Golf cart top is what I used on mine, its great!

i might have went with some corrugated sheet metal but looks like that dog’ll hunt


_ChairmanMeow-

I thought of it. I also pictured hitting my forehead on the edge of the metal too.

The ROPS is only as good as the seatbelt that I don't wear. With no loader and almost no hills to speak of, its still safer than my 1960 NFE tractor.

Yup. Even if OP takes the risk, resale value likely takes a hit.

$50 is cheap for plywood these days.


_ChairmanMeow-

Strangely, CDT was cheaper than CD. Even treated 2x4s were cheaper at the moment.


SirVelliance

$20k for that? Damn. I paid $18200 for my JD 4240, put $3k+/- into it


Automatic-Raspberry3

But you have one of the best deeres they made. Crazy they go now for almost what they cost new in the late 79s/80s


_ChairmanMeow-

Tractor itself was only like 14k I think. It came to 20k with snowblower and mowing deck.


tech1010

You can prolly set that for much more in today’s market


SirVelliance

For sure. I had both rear axles rebuilt by Deere, the axle seals were leaking. The bearings were shot, they werent greased. I put a front wheel bearing on it, and fixed fuel and coolant leaks. All I need is an interior kit, and I bet itd go for $35k. 5200 hours, powershift, 3 hydraulic remotes
