Thanks! Pretty much what I was thinking.... adding a second set of outside brackets, replacing the existing pins with a set of longer, larger lift pins that run from both the existing bracket through the new brackets. While not 100% exactly like this attached picture, I think this is the...

How did you widen the lift pins? Add another bracket? Longer pins? etc?

The tractor lift arms are adjustable by themselves, but not if you're using a quick-attach like I show in the picture. They basically make two sizes... the 36" wide, and the 30" wide.

I have a 5' LandPride mower (pic attached), and the lower lift pins are the narrower 30" spacing. All of my other implements are the wider 36" spacing (box blade, plows, etc). I'd love to use a 36" quick-attach on the tractor to make life easier, but this one implement (mower) is the issue...

Hi all, the Zetor we have has two positions on the PTO (not counting Neutral). One position is - Ground speed of PTO shaft (through gearbox) - PTO shaft speed depends upon the engaged gear speed The other position is - Independent speed of PTO shaft - PTO shaft speed depends upon the engine...

I've got a matching Oliver Superior grain drill to go with it. While a mechanical resto would be good, I'm considering a paint resto on both for a (mostly) static display. Oliver Superior Grain Drill (Donkey won't be part of the restoration... :laughing: ) I've had a couple of pictures...

Pulled my grandfather's old Oliver 70 out of the barn. Think it's about time for a resto.

We've used 55 gallon food-grade plastic drums for years for our diesel, with a hand-crank transfer pump for filling our tractors. When Northern Tool finally offered an affordable 12V version, I jumped on it. It's back in a tractor shed, out of the weather, and we keep a small solar panel to...

I've used these. Fits any typical plastic gas can. Flo ’N Go Maxflo Siphon and Pump — With 60In. Hose, Model# 06799 | Fuel Nozzles| Northern Tool + Equipment

Thanks again JJ, worked like a charm! :) PS.... I figured I had a 50/50 chance of hooking it up right the first time, in terms of which direction the auger would turn when I pushed the lever forwards or backwards, and got it right. :)

Finally got the our new Belltec H-200 hydraulic auger with at 9" RAD (rock and dirt) auger bit set up for our tractor. Uses the optional bracket attached to the loader bucket, and I added a couple of 20' hoses to connect to an open set of remotes on the rear. Turns about 60 RPM and just chews...

More grease, WD-40 and just about any other rust breaking lubricant I can find, and I hope to get her working again. Mostly all works, with the exception of the "flip over" gear that raises and lowers it. May have to pull the main wheel to get it unfrozen. It's an old Case. Not sure of the...

In an old machine shop in Abilene, TX, the fourth generation of machinists are still working on the same tools brought in by the first generation.... and three of the generations still work in the shop.

Hi all, I have Zetor FEL on our Zetor 6441 tractor, and the loader front has the "quick-attach" setup for the bucket, etc. Aside from the Zetor-specific quick attach items (other than the bucket) like the pallet forks and hay spear, has anyone seen any kind of adapter to use something...

Hi all, just picked up a hydraulic auger that will be bucket-mounted on our front end loader. We'll be running it from the set of remotes we have on the back of the tractor. My question is: Each remote "set" has three connections, labeled 0, 1 and 2. The owner's manual says: "Basic type...
