west central Iowa | I've been running a 1486 since it was new. Don't know how many hours (digital tach), but I imagine it is well over 10,000 if not 15000. It is still main tillage, silage chopping, baling, and grain hauling tractor. It has been overhauled once, ta once, and 2 clutches. Total cost of repairs in 33 years probably less than $10000. If you do a little maintemnace on the shift linkage and cab mounts and have a little sense they are not that hard to shift, better yet if you eliminate the torque. I would rather get in and out thru the backwards door(s) than crawl in a soundguard cab and at least I can see when I get in an 86 cab. My neighbor that had a 4240 had to get rid of it because afford the repair bills. | |
