Serial number plate is on the seat bracket. It could have been swapped with the engine

Yes, Spotted Wing Drosophila. Agriculture B.C. is calling it a fruit fly. I cut down my cherry tree as they would infest that first then move to the berries.

I have never seen helicopters spraying blueberries just tractors, also don't know about moth. New pest? I thought you were closer to Aldergrove border crossing. I live on city lot and have 26 blueberry plants in back yard, don't spray anything but have had significant loss of berries to Asian fruit fly.

Powdery mildew doesn't affect blueberries. They spray for mummy berry and a fungus or two but mostly for bugs. My dad lived across the street from berry farm near Cloverdale BC ( maybe 12 miles from Troy) the owner was quite proud that he was spraying 16 different chemicals.

Never saw this post. Wiring diagram is in the parts book. I have one at home and I am at work.

That seal is to keep dirt etc out. If it has been pushed out by hydraulic pressure, the main pressure seal is shot.

It shipped from the factory (Hamilton Ontario, Canada) with a British built International BD154 engine. The sheet metal has not been modified so I doubt the engine has been changed.

Picking up an engine rebuild kit for a john deere at a mailbox. I work even closer to you, in Aldergrove, only 4 miles to the border.

I topped up in Sumas Wa. at $3.44.9 usd a gallon of diesel today. 20.588 gallons $71.01 usd , or $90.64 ca. Would have cost $101.23 ca.in Abbotsford @ $1.29.9 ca. I would really hate to pay $5 a gallon for diesel.

Bone Digger, I am not an expert, but I believe that the serial number plate in your photo is for the loader attachment, and not the tractor.

It's going to be the fuse in your fuse box. And I'm not being facetious. I was thinking I could provide you with a wiring diagram, but the online database that I normally use seems to be reducing the amount of available files for older vehicles. I do have a copy of the heater a/c wiring for a '95 f250, but it's PDF so I can't post it.

Are you looking for measurements? Or part numbers? Have you opened the crate?

I ran a tree mower for seven years. The cutter head design was similar to the "bush hog" style of tow behind mowers. Just a lot bigger and heavier. Most of the time our new blades were un-sharpened, just flame cut to a square edge. We tried a flame cut bevel leaving about 3/16" leading edge (sharpening). Most of the time it was unnecessary as it took away wear material and reduced the weight (momentum) of the blade. The only time I think that sharpening was a benefit was when we were cutting a large amount of big willow or other hard to cut trees.
