Looking for parts for Long 310

[lwalper]

I've just acquired a FREE new-to-me Long 310 with about 2800 hours on the clock. I really don't know anything about tractors, but needed something to haul firewood and stuff around the property, and you don't look a gift horse in the mouth. It does have a Woods loader on the front. All hydraulics seem to work. The only thing I'm really looking for at the moment is tie rod ends that need to be replaced. Are they sort of universal for this size tractor (25hp)? It looks like a blue/white Ford clone.

Welcome to the forums.

No, the tie rod ends are not universal for tractors of a given size, such as the 25HP brands and models. You will find some will work across some brands and models but it is far from a given.

Below is a link to what I found which a quick search at PartsASAP (YT's parent company). It is generally best to search by part numbers, rather than application, if you can get the numbers. If you don't have them, you should get the Operator's Manual, Service Manual, and Parts Book for your tractor. They may have the manuals if you call and ask. eBay has some, as do other places.

Thanks, I'll check em out. I've got a service manual, but there don't seem to be any part numbers listed.

Service manuals seldom, if ever, list part numbers; that is why you need a parts book. You need an Operator's Manual (aka Owner's Manual) because service manuals seldom list the details of maintenance that the manufacturer expects will be done by the owners and/or operators, like oil and filter changes, lubrication, and general maintenance/adjustments. Some manufacturers put the wiring diagrams in the Operator's Manual.
