<br /> <br />• Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council <br />March 17, 1982, Page 8 <br />Meza: According to the department's report, they need the <br />additional equipment to keep maintenance up. <br />Skelton: This is a budgeted item. <br />Faris: Is this the smaller tractors that will fit in the <br />alleyways? <br />G-`~: No, they already got those. <br />Faris: This doesn't have anything to do with that? <br />Westergren: Mr. Sherwood, do you have any problem getting <br />parts for this type of tractor as opposed to some of the others? <br />Sherwood: No. <br />G_~: These are handled by International? <br />Sherwood: Jim Ball International in Baytown does handle these. <br />Gay: So it's no problem at all to get parts for these. The <br />reason why T am saying this is, because I have an International <br />tractor and it costs me $900 just for a part. I had to order <br />it and it was made in Belgium. <br />Sherwood: Anything under 30 horse is made overseas. Ford is <br />made in Japan. <br />Faris: I notice you have a 19 h.p. Kubota with a 16 inch <br />bucket and a 50 inch loader for that 19 h.p, tractor. This <br />front end loader is going on the same tractor, is that correct? <br />I'm not being picky, but T used to own a Kubota tractor and <br />my father still does, and we have had nothing but maintenance <br />problems with them. <br />Sherwood; I have had two for four years and one for three <br />years and I have had no problem. <br />Faris: Do they have backhoes and front end loaders, or lawn <br />mowers? <br />Sherwood. Lawn mowers. <br />Faris: Mr. Hodge, have yours got lawn mower or backhoes on <br />them? <br />• Hodge: I've just got two small ones with mowers. <br />
