Got a 90 series....

Neighbor bought this tractor a year ago. Put a cab kit in and changed all filters, including transmission. Put new inside rear tires on last fall at over $1300 a piece plus $100 a hour to mount. Front tires are 95%. Runs and shifts great! My son fiberglassed the bottom of the front grill as it was in three pieces, held there by a 2x4. I painted the grill screens and planetary hubs and dual rims. Needed it like a hole in the head, but didn't want to see a cowboy destroy it. Wasn't quite good enough for the neighbor as he wanted something bigger and newer. He bought a NH 9482 bareback. This 4690 has 3 point and pto and a trans. heater. It is a beast with 30' equipment behind it. 2470 will get demoted to pull the GP drill, overkill on that job. Not fond of the electronic steering. Have to look at a service manual and see if it can be adjusted. Sorry to ramble...

Sure a nice looking 4690 ! I'm sure it will be a nice addition to your line up.

That's nice hope you like it as well as I do my 4490.

Looks like a nice rig Steve. You will like the steering when it is operating correctly. Those aspirated straight pipes were really popular around here on all the turboed CASE models. Rod.

Steve, It sure looks sharp. Hope it runs as good as it looks. As Rod said, mufflers seamed to get removed and straight pipe added. I guess operators didn't like looking at those big ugly mufflers. HeHe.

The straight pipes were a lot cheaper than the original muffler. Wish I could find a curved pipe to get the noise away from the cab, it is louder than the 2470. I was told the 504 on the bigger tractors runs cooler with a straight pipe. Those 504s run so sweet.

The electronic steering is my only gripe. I knew they had problems before I bought. The steering on the 2470 never has given trouble. Never saw a transmission heater on one of these before, although the ops manual tells of them. Have to plug it in some cool nite to see if it smooths the shifting on a cool spring morning.

Congrat the best looking and the best beast in this world, Why would anyone on this planet ship these to china just frigging crazy farmer with too much money .Anyone problem on this model of tractor is like stupid compare to the 1 problem a STX 450 with a broken bearing in the transmision housing.

 

[1370rod]

I have never seen one, where on the tranny is it installed? Rod.

 

[Don Rudolph]

Steve,

That is one clean looking machine. Good for you for finding it and putting it to use. Don

The heater is opposite side from the site glasses, bottom corner.
