Fairly easy in most cases. There are at least 10 different parts places that we buy from located in the US. We have found that the easiest brands to obtain parts for are Yanmar and Hinomoto (usually within 4 days or less). We have also found that some Ford/New Holland parts are interchangeable with Shibaura parts, as with Yanmar/John-Deere, Iseki/Bolens, and Kubota, of course. For example, the Yanmar YM-2500 has the exact same engine as the John-Deere 850.

Soft parts include clutches, bands, overhaul kit, filter, internal sealing rings, bushings, external seals and gaskets. These are the parts, along with a torque converter, that are always replaced during an overhaul of a transmission. Upon internal inspection, some major component parts may also need to be replaced such as the pump, a clutch drum, or a planetary gear set. See similar questions...

Honestly? Listening to tons and tons of horrible, awful, terrible music to try and find the needles in the big-ass haystack to expose to our readers. You'd be absolutely stunned at the volume of mail I receive in a week-everything from jazz to bluegrass to country to dance. Obviously, we don't cover every genre in the world, so I focus my listening more on punk/rock/indie/emo/hardcore, trying to find the gems (and it's not as easy as you think).

We can help you with engine parts for most Sears equipment, but chassis parts are another story. Some people are surprised to learn that Sears does not make the products it sells. Since it can be difficult to get parts through Sears, sometimes your best option is to go to someone who carries parts for the original equipment manufacturer. Many of those manufacturers are no longer in business, but some are still around. See similar questions...

That will depend on you and what you're used to. It's generally reckoned to be a strenuous hike, but there's no rock-climbing or glacier-walking involved, so no technical expertise is required. The difficulty comes largely from the repeated steep ascents and descents, and from the high altitude. The climb to the first pass takes you up from around 2000m (6500ft) to more than 4000m (13000ft) in a relatively short space, followed by a descent of around 1500m (5000ft). See similar questions...

It has been my experience that almost any diesel mechanic can work on these tractors. It is, of course, best to find someone who is familiar with tractors. Many small engine repair shops and local diesel mechanics will be happy to help you with any maintenance or repair work you might have need of. If you are in the Central Texas area, I know a few mechanics who will work on these tractors at a reasonable rate. See similar questions...
