jdc Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 If my memory is correct the first ones had 'power assisted' steering and there was a tiny screw to adjust centering on top of the valve block......1/8th turn could spell disaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 as you say these young lads have it too easy with these fancy tractors with climate control, mp3 players, axle/cab suspension, 40/50k auto gear boxes etc im only 27 but when i was riches age a 690 was a great tractor to drive and still are. i admit if i had the money i would have a nice shinney new tractor but i dont and have the 1981 jd 3040, great to drive, comfortable does the job i want and is worth a fraction of a new tractor BUT does just the same job and the repair bills are much less due to less electrics to go wrong i think there is more driver skill to driving the older tractors, anyone can drive a new one (within reason) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
