Working on a dead in the water 5325. *Issue- after a pressure wash tractor will not start. I’m not necessarily convinced this caused the issue. Everything works but the N light just flashes and the power reverser malfunction indicator light is on. It thinks it’s in gear so it will not start...

Today I saw a woods BW12 and it really caught my eye. I cut at our house and neighbors, but most os all my family has a lake house on 15 acres. That ground is hilly with flat pastures also. I’m spending a lot of time on the tractor with a 6’ rotary. My tractor is a Massey Ferguson 263 (53hp pto)...

My wife’s grandfather passed and I inherited this welder. Plan on a full restore so I’m beginning my research.

Finally happened, tractor laid down on a money field. Just as my luck would have it, the area it broke down in was not really accessible to retrieve it and get it home. So in my spare time I worked on it and got it repaired in field. I got to give it to the Massey because of the ease of repair...

Had weight chained to the front. Wasn't crazy about it but couldn't find Massey weights around here. So I went a different route.

Ended up with this splitter. Bought the 6.5hp engine NIB from neighbor for a good price. Has a decent cylinder and valves. Frame will need to be widened for better engine clearance. Also resivor is getting tossed and a new one built. Pump began leaking oil from input shaft so I'm thinking a new...

Came across a two ton and a three ton Janitrol condensing unit. Conveniently my neighbor needs a two ton unit and the three ton may be shelved for a future pool heating project. As for the two ton it looks rough but in the course of its life was used a few times a year for maybe five years then...

Packed up the family and the Massey and went to the lake house in Trigg county, Ky. Mowed some big grassy hill ground, some sapling covered hill ground, some flats, hedges just a little bit of everything. Shot off fireworks played with the family. Good weekend! Returned home with a mountain of...

Neighbor has a 4520 with a leaking front axle seal. He asked me to change it because it's leaking profusely. It's the seal where it swivels for steering. Attached a picture of data plate and area where the seal is. Just wondering how involved it is, and if anyone has a schematic of it to see...

So I'm currently debating a new project that was proposed to me. Tear down a house and shove it in a dumpster. I also will take an out building, sidewalk, and large trash pile and insert it into dumpster. I'm a little apprehensive yet extremely excited about this. I checked the utilities and the...

I just couldn't wait to try the new tractor out :D

Just bought a splitter and I am curious if anyone can identify anything about the pump. I have not noticed a name or numbers on it yet. Looks to have a 4" bore cylinder and a 5hp Briggs

Its Christmas eve and I an working in the basement of our "civic center" rebuilding a pump. It has been a frustrating battle to get to the point of preparing the new bearing assembly. Well I found a fridge with a freezer to put the shaft in but needed to heat up the bearings.... well toasters...

Great story Long Road Home: The Larry Koester Story - YouTube

Came across this tractor this weekend. 2000, 2wd, 4,500hrs., two remotes, diff lock, great tires, decent looking machine. It is getting a clutch and then will be for sale. Think it will be about $6,500. That seems like a decent price for a decent 1 owner machine. I really like fords and would...

Gas saver dodge running on fumes - YouTube He seems to really think he has stumbled onto something here. I see people like this and well what I would like to say is highly offensive so I will leave it at that. If you don't see anything wrong please throw away your hammer or tape or whatever you...

Have used this wrench for years. Bacho is the maker says built in Sweden. As an adjustable it holds an edge well and does not slack off. It really takes some stuff with the jaws spread wide. When the jaw reverses it is an extremely strong narrow pipe wrench. It is a tool worthy of checking out...

Picked up a couple of AC's today! Here is a picture of one.

Anybody run one? I need a bar for mine. I would like to go 32 and I think I will have to make one fit. Any info or tips would be appreciated.

Always like to see other 7.3's, see what mods were made, wishes, wants, likes, dislikes. (don't have a pic of mine right now but will post up when home)

Recently came across full set of ford pie weights. They were $400 dollars had both plates, all the weights, and all hardware. Are there a lot of different varieties? If so what dimensions am I looking for, for a 600? I have a feeling I should impulse buy these as they look good and are complete...

Snapped the PTO off right out of tractor. I havnt pulled one out of it before. Any pointers. Looked like you just take four bolts out and pull it on out.

Just wondering if anyone has used, seen, or heard feedback of a dion f64 head on a gehl 1085 chopper. Watched videos, read literature, just would like some firsthand feedback on the dion heads. Im also looking for a PDF of a service manual for the gehl 1085 if anyone has one handy.

I caught this on it's way to a trash can. Model ega-80. Anybody have one, used one, or know about it? Having tough time finding instructions

Want your cooler to do a little better in the heat? Check to see if the lid is insulated. If it is not drill a few holes (I drill them in the bottom of the lid) fill it up with expanding foam. I go through coolers on job sites, boat, and what not. Usually take throw away ones from family and...

Anybody else have a ridiculous amount of raccoons? I think last year I caught about thirty. Just started again this year and it is a raccoon a night. I guess they don't have many predators besides me. Think I'm going to start looking to buy marshmallows in bulk. People have expressions for the...

-Having trouble finding a good power steering pump filter number. -I also need to rebuild steering cylinders. If anyone has numbers for a decent kit or know what all parts in a kit I need to look for would be great -last but not least the ball joints on the end of the cylinder (I believe...

Saw this on a boating forum thought I would share. Scroll down a bit and you will see a bad day. http://www.laketow.blogspot.com/?m=1

Have a ariens zoomxl 54" with 24hp kawasaki. I seem to be double mowing more than I would like too and I believe it's mostly because I have worn out original blades. Has anyone tried a set of high lift blades on theirs? Ground is hilly, I mow weekly so it never really gets away from me and I'm...

Brought home a ariens model 934001 for mothers day today. Couldn't beat the price of free. Hope to semi restore back to mowing service. My wife does not like the zoomxl54 and she wanted a tractor style. Cut the gas line from carb, dumped some gas down it's throat hooked some cables to it and it...

Putting equipment on roof today. Crane was in front of building reaching to back. There were lines above the roofline directly behind building. Last unit was set and operator was signaled to begin retrieving boom. I was guiding the chains away from the equipment and they started going towards...

Tractor lives in a garage basement. Engine is locked tight from sitting dormant. Today I pulled plugs filled cylinders with pb blaster. Hand crank is seized in frame and I'm not about to touch the starter. Will probably fill tires with air and try rocking it. I'm not trying to get it running...

Pretty simple questions? On the bottom of these filters there are blue plastic plugs one intact one broke off. What is their purpose. I'm use to regular spinoffs how do these change?

It's freezing I'm laying in dirt with a flashlight trying to stop the gas pouring through the carb. It's a craftsman woodchipper by the way with a HS50 Tecumseh. Put a new carb kit in it and a float. Turn gas on and it dumps straight through carb. No problem... Adjust the float... Reassemble...

Most of the time I use a hydraulic cylinder for my top link. Just about all my implements work with that. Three implements I use hook directly to the top link on the tractor(boom, cement mixer, post hole digger). We rebuilt the lift a couple of years back and it has been working great...

Went out and picked up some concrete culvert pipe the other day. It was at a large local industrial contractors yard that my father in law works at. I wandered around a bit and found a small ford tractor with duals. I asked him if they would sell it because you could tell it wasn't worked and...

I all, hope this is in the right place. I have a 640 ford and it is always worked hard and running great. It is time for a clean sweep on ignition, everything is due for replacement. The tractor is 12 volt by the way. I was reading and thinking about going all msd ignition. Has anyone done...
