Hi Glen,
Good to hear things are looking up.....a tough road for sure.
69J4235 would be a 1976 model. 3306T (44V) engine, powershift, Japanese built, 4,518 units produced with production ending in 1978.
A few numbers short of ROPS adaptability at 4395, ROPS became standard with next years model.
Not a whole lot different than the later 10K model as far as I know. The only thing that might be troublesome (and expensive) is the sleeve metering fuel system. Easily upset if water is involved.
D6C 69J series were/are a very common tractor in Australia, 140hp (however a serviceman told me the first few were 125hp). Very reliable, most in Australia were imported with ROPS mounts if not with ROPS. Check diagonal braces for cracks, welds and plates, possibly the weakest part of them, often welded, but not correctly ie out of alignment, wear rollers, idlers and tracks abnormally, they also suffer from the usual flat track D6 problems with the outrigger bush etc wear.
Glen,
That is really good news-glad to hear she is doing better. I have been wondering...
Glen,,
glad things are improving at home.
Good Luck
