Been using tractor sites for years, lots of good info. Some offer replacement parts for relics, like Yesterday's Tractor. I've ordered parts from them for my Ford Jubilee a few times.
One thing that always makes me chuckle, is when guys say they've had some "seat time". I've never heard anyone say that, who has been "runnin' tractor" for a living, or by necessity, for most of their lives.
We had some problems early on with the club Kubota, with guys stalling it. HST is fine, just gotta pick the proper range for the chore, keep the RPMs up and not worry about the ground speed. We now limit the number of people that are allowed to use it. One guy thought it was a D9 CAT years ago, tore the hydraulic filter/base off while pushing brush with the loader.
They aren't toys, stay safe.
