    Where's this oil coming from?

    I finally got around to removing the hood panels and inspecting the innards on the right-hand side of my F24. Unfortunately, I'm no closer to understanding where the dripping oil is coming from. In the attached image, I've got fluid dripping from three different places: near where the blue tube...

    Where's this oil coming from?

    That seems like kind of a hassle to get to the oil filter. Wonder if there's any reason I couldn't remove it and cut a bigger "window" in it through which the filter could be removed?

    Where's this oil coming from?

    I finally got some time to inspect this a little closer, and frankly I don't think I'm any closer to understanding where the oil is coming from. It doesn't start dripping until the tractor is good and hot, though, if that helps anybody. My best guess right now is maybe it's coming from a leaky...

    Where's this oil coming from?

    Haven't been up under there yet...I'm swamped trying to finish the barn from hell and just haven't had time to mess with it. Theoretically I'm getting a roof next week, and hopefully I'll have some time to fool around with it after that.

    Where's this oil coming from?

    Hey, folks - got a quick question. I was parked on the new workshop slab the other day unloading some material off the pallet forks on the back of the new tractor, and I noticed a small puddle of oil under the front of the tractor, just behind and inside of the right front tire (see photos...

    What did I buy?

    I'm happy with the purchase, but I've already determined that my next tractor needs automatic/hydrostatic transmission (forward pedal and backwards pedal instead of clutch and gear shift), power steering, and quite possibly air conditioning. That sucker damn near cooked me last night while...

    What did I buy?

    So it turns out, I bought an F24 with a VTeks V2 front end loader, a 5' box blade, and a post-hole digger (brand unknown). Hour meter shows about 53 hours. I'm sure that's totally accurate (can you hear my eyes rolling?). Included with purchase was the original sales receipt from the...

    What did I buy?

    Winston - I've already got your concrete rear wheel weights write-up bookmarked. That seems like a great idea. What's the difference between the FX24 and the F24 (I know it's not a "D" - ad says 2WD)? Is it the PowerShift feature, or something else?

    What did I buy?

    Thanks, California - I've already got both of those sites bookmarked. I was eyeballing Hoye's turf tire package just before lunch...

    What did I buy?

    More or less... I'm north of Houston, and the seller is near Victoria. FWIW, I'm giving $5,500 for tractor, FEL, box blade, and post-hole digger. Does that seem reasonable?

    What did I buy?

    Based on California's post with the link to pix of all the greymarket units (http://www.nettractortalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=542), I suspect the model is FX28. There's no photos of the FX28 or FX28D in that link, but it's one of the only 28HP models listed, and the other FX-series tractors...

    What did I buy?

    Hiya, folks - First-time poster here, and I wanted to get my feet wet with a general question (as opposed to a problem). We bought some acreage last summer and I've been watching tractor ads ever since. Came across what appears to be a pretty good deal on Craigslist last week, called and talked...
