Righthand drives are ag machines the last pass you made and the furrow you need to fallow is always on the right so you gotta be over there to see. and the are pretty rare and most were sold in the Centeral Valley of Calif

Bullcrk,6 that sure sounds to good to use for parts, sure hope you change yur mind.
Willie, now don't get all out of shape😄 I know you been around, but I don't quite follow "the last past you made and the furrow you need to follow" Is this plowing, discing chiselling that would benefit from the right hand drive?
Save that tractor if you can Bullcrk,6

Lots of work switching rollers and sprockets, can you just put your dozer blade and CCU on the ag tractor since it's in such good shape?

We ride over to your coastal area often. We were just in Cuyucas the other weekend.... been nice to see it.

If you want to PM or leave me your phone number I'll give you a call next time that way. I'll take some pics too 😄

you guys are making feel worse than i already did for wanting parts off the ag 8
but for the most part im only swaping my fuel tank hood and sprocket covers
my engine and undercariage are new so the ag 8 will still be complete and running,
just not as pretty as she was. providing nothing breaks in the backend on my
dozer when i lower the rippers down in my hard adobe hay fields to break in
the engine i will prob get rid of the ag 8 down the road a bit
