I have searched this question in a dozen different search engines with no real help at all. Hopefully, some of you guys will know. Considering the 1962-1965 Ford 2000, what does one look for to determine whether a tractor is a "Utility" or a Wide-Front Row-Crop ? >>: On EDIT: I was looking at...

I have a Harbor Freight crane, the bigger/taller one with a hand-cranked winch. My son got it for me several years ago and it has been used almost daily. Lately, the hydraulic jack has started leaking fluid. First, it started dripping around the little "ON/OFF" screw-thingie whenever the...

Hi. Tractor is a 1972 Mitsubishi R2500 2-cylinder diesel. It has a previous-owner installed front-end loader that has a belt-driven pump. The 4-bolt mounting bolt-pattern is 2-inches square. The top pressure fitting that connects to the control-valves is 3/8-NPT. The bottom low-pressure...

I have been carrying around a set of Harbor Freight 96933 magnetic towing lights for a few years, un-used, and still in the package, just in case I should ever have reason to tow something that did not have decent lights. I did cut a hole in the package, fish out the pig-tail, plug it in, and...

I thought there were a couple threads around here to discuss H-F stuff, what is good and what sometimes is not. I did a few searches and could not find those threads. I keep two grease-guns, always loaded with Kendall Super-Blu L-427; one is a pistol-grip with a longish flexible hose for...

Is the big 206-3/4-inch-long belt on my old Woods belly-mower a standard "B" width; or, if not, what is it ?? Thank you.:)

Please share your experiences with this or similar welding helmets : http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=91214 I have never used an automatic helmet and am not sure that I trust them. Please enlighten me. Thank you.:)

I have had one of those generic "made in Taiwan" 64-1/2 x 1/2 metal-cutting band-saws for over thirty years. It has served me well on countless projects, some quite intensive, such as building a deluxe fully-equipped 20-foot goose-neck live-stock trailer. I have never used one of those H-F...

Has anyone had any experience with this particular chipper/shredder ?? - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices I need it for getting rid of such assorted brush as black-berry briars, wild roses, and small limbs. Thanks.:)

I borrowed this picture from another thread. That is a very nice piece of equipment; my question is not about the nice rake; but, instead, it is about the draw-pins. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/build-yourself/73386d1175605404-quick-attached-landscape-rake-top-p4020055.jpg...

Does anyone know anything about cartridge respirators, such as which cartridges protect from what ?? I would like to protect myself from stick welding fumes and painting fumes. Also, I have an abundance of galvanized steel; is there a cartridge that would protect from welding that ?? I found...

Well, it finally quit pouring the rain long enough for me to run a little test on my shiny new H-F quick-hitch. In the mean time, I have reamed out every other hole for the J-hook to 5/8 and re-drilled the J-hook holes 11/16, such that instead of the supplied metric bolts, I now use 5/8...

I have no notion of the make/manufacturer of my loader. It does have it's own pump and reservoir, independent of the tractor hydraulics. A few weeks ago, I was moving several buckets of #5 stone and the bucket tilt cylinders seemed to perform strongly. This was the day that I had a hose...

When I got my tractor, the shifter-knob for the PTO was missing in action, with only a threaded stub sticking up. This was actually a blessing, as I made it ever so much better; whereas, had the knob have been there, I probably wouldn't ever have taken time to improve it. Being metric, a...

I have searched and read until my head hurts and I am more :confused: confused now, than before I started. I have gathered up steel and intend to set in on building a multi-purpose 3-PT-hitch trailer-receiver/pallet-fork/carry-all/boom-pole/ballast-carriage gizmo. I intend to get a HF...
