I don't have tire chains for my tractor. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried 'studding' their tires? Would it be possible to screw in small (1/4") lag screws into the lugs on my rear ag type tires leaving the head exposed to work as studs? As long as the lag screws weren't long enough to...

The oil pressure is about 35+ lbs on my MF 230 when the engine is cold. But as the engine warms the oil pressure goes down to 5 lbs. It's a 4 cylinder gas continental engine. What are the reasons this could happen. Bad main bearings? Bad oil pump? Bad rod bearings? Are the rod bearings...

I was visiting with a friend today and he was telling me about his new (used) tractor. I'm almost sure that he said it was a 'Larinda' but I don't see any mention of it on these boards. He said that it might be Italian and that it had some kind of relationship with MasseyFerguson. Does anyone...

I currently have a Massey Ferguson 50. It's an old tractor. Made in 1958 I think. I few years ago I took it apart, cleaned it, painted it and put on new tires $$$. Now I am thinking of modernizing a bit. I found a Massey 135 with less than 1000 hours. Also nearby I found a L3130 Kubota. The...
