Are they 4xxxAH or 3xxxAH? The AH units are All Hydraulic. The attachment are hydraulic motor driven. The mower decks are known to have motor failure. The tractors are known for hydraulic leaks. Post some of the ads if you can.

:106: good question :hm: they usually sell well. They are not noted to be trouble and parts are available. Most that have them like them, I sure like mine. :69:

I agree with Spike, the AH don't sell as well.

I will say that I have noticed that stuff is not selling like it had been, I think monies getting a little tight. For a few years here, other than way over priced CCI stuff, it was gone fast.

Does CCI usually sell good in your area?

Maybe post the ad so I can see for myself?

I prefer the power steering.

Yeah I'd like to buy some. Where are these? I have one 4016ps that needs a steering cylinder. My guess is they are 4100 series tractors and those have specific attachments that only can be used. Which make it harder for future hydro motor replacement issues.

@TLD89 looks like we have gone a little overboard asking for ad listing. I am lurking around for a 4120AH for parts I have one that was purchased in pieces. Intentions was to transfer the power steering over to a 646. Someone can jump in here but there were under 300 built the first year. As others have indicated the deck motors seem to fail at 1000 to 1500 hours. I have yet to hear of a replacement motor without major deck modifications.
