Reliability and parts for a Fiat Allis FD175

[Toreq]

I can buy one of these machines much cheaper than the major brands. I will only put 200-700 hours a year on a machine for the next 3 or 4 years and then sell it.

Are parts still available for these mid 90's machines?

You can still get parts for these dozers through New Holland dealers and Quick Parts in Fulton Missouri. I had one for a couple years and about 1800hrs I had some problems but, the machine had damn near 20000 hours on it. It was a powerful tractor. Where are you located in Missouri?

Where the Grand meets the Missouri River. I farm in the Triplett area and have a business in Brunswick. Water was at the top of the levees last week and on the week end, but it's receding now. Some of the levee systems failed.

C130, as in Turbo prop?

The sight of those big girls in a steep climbing turn is pretty exciting. I lost my medical as a result of a bad spinal block. My life is very different than it use to be, but I have so much to be thankful for. I am able to walk short distances and operate equipment. After being told that I would never walk again, that I would not leave my home except for medical emergencies, God intervened. The med's fool my brain so it doesn't recieve all of the pain signals, but they also change my life in many other ways. Soooo, no more piloting for me.
