"All I use it for is to mow a 4 acre paddock with a 5 ft slasher. I am trying to rewire it with a Delco Remy alt and sort the hydraulics out. The oil pump pressure is ok but when it warms up it will not life. But if I back into a bank it will hold the slasher up. I am looking for a leaking value (maybe O ring or split pipe?)"

"My old David Brown still shapes up every spring to cut, rake and bale about 600 small bales of hay. It has been amazingly reliable and still does a bit of grading and a few post holes. If you can get one in good order I would go for it. In Australia one in good working order goes for around $3,000."
