Hello from Ottawa, Ontario - "new" 4016

[DavidBarkey]

Welcome to the site and the addiction that is CCIGTs. Beatty of a machine you have there .

[FreddyFont]

Welcome Freddy. Nice looking tractor. I curious about the plastic bubble around the car. Do you have a fan in ther to circulate air every where while storing the car. ?

Noel.

Yes, has a small fan to circulate air. I have a hobby horse farm and mice tend to find their way inside the garage during the winter. Its thick bottom plastic and the clear top zips around.

I saw your extra pictures on the other forum. Look's like you also have the backhoe transaxle which is a late model orange frame 4000 series before the switch over to black frames. Mine was built around the year 2000.

Nice!
I think it's around the same year. I had looked serial numbers somewhere but they only had up to 2000 and the one I have was after that. Engine code is 01 so I'm thinking its a 2001-ish.

I'm not sure what you mean about the transaxle, I was changing the oil in it yesterday and didn't notice lol! Is it the set of holes on each side? I'll get a picture of it to show you.

It runs fine now that I have drained the fuel, changed the spark plugs and new engine oil/filter. I haven't used it much yet, I want to drain the hydraulic oil and replace the filter. Just waiting on the "oem" hydraulic oil filter to arrive i wasn't sure what to get so got that from a vendor in the states. Since I was placing an order I got a few on the way!

So Freddy. Does the top bubble have small holes to let air out. You don’t get any moisture in there ? And where did you buy it. Son has a couple of cars he stores.

Good call with the OEM hydraulic filter, they are one of the things that non-oem has not worked well. Other things there are alternatives.
We are lucky to have some great dealers for parts, it's unfortunate for those in the shipping gets so pricey.

No moisture at all. Its from CarCapsule. It wasn't much more than my factory car cover. Folds to fit in a storage bin. So far been running great, non stop from mid Sept to mid May, 2 years in a row.

[FreddyFont]

Very nice 4016. Does yours have the webbed backhoe transaxle? Does it start and run ok from sitting so long?

I scored my 4016 six years ago with 55hrs

Is that it??

[Spike188]

That is the webbing added in 1975 to support the Davis backhoe. The 2 holes are also mounting points for a sleeve hitch.

[Eugen]

The axle instead of being a cone has these plates welded along them as reinforcement. This is the type of axle that the factory backhoe equipped models came with.

Well, maybe the webbing is cast not welded but you get the idea.

Thanks for the info!!
