About Arnie Jossie
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
Engines, drivetrain, hydraulic, electrical. Farm tractors only, please. NO LAWN AND GARDEN EQUIP. QUESTIONS. I AM NOT A LAWN AND GARDEN EXPERT, SO DON'T ASK! THERE ARE EXPERTS ON THIS SITE THAT ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS UNDER THE CATEGORY OF SMALL ENGINE AND LAWN MOWER REPAIR. No skidsteers, windrowers, combines, construction equip., trucks, etc. No European or Asian tractors. I simply don't have the time to answer questions on all machines, so I have to limit what I will answer. I am not a Massey Ferguson expert. I also specialize in New Holland rectangular balers.

Experience
Worked in Case IH dealerships for 20 years. Old IH to new Case IH. Case 70 series thru 96 series, and McCormick. Experience in older Ford, JD, Oliver, AC. Collecting and restoring old Cockshutt, Co-op, and IH tractors.

Organizations
International Cockshutt Club

Education/Credentials
Mechanic all my life. Too many Case IH service schools to list. 7100 all the way up to MX Magnums. 5100 to MX Maxxums. Some New Holland training. NO LAWN AND GARDEN EQUIP.
