I'm getting to the point where I'm tired of making frequent trips to the card-lock for 5 gallons of offroad diesel at a time so I'd like to set up a fueling station, raised to a platform of between 6-10 ft where I can quickly/easily/cleanly get fuel as needed. I recently purchased two plastic...

Does anyone have the torque specs for front wheel lugs on a 2015? I've misplaced my manual. In the mean time, I'll have to stick with the German specification (Gutentheit) but if anyone has the real number, I'd really appreciate it. thx -srj

I'm wondering if it would overkill or not advisable to use larger hydraulic hoses in a compressed air situation. I know they can more than handle the pressure, but I wasn't sure about the temperature. I'm thinking of using a hose instead of copper tubing between the compressor and tank. I...

Hi all, I'm working through a design question and I'm looking for advice and input. I've got a slow speed (1800rpm) import ST Gen (12Kw) that I want to run from a 540 PTO. I've looked at both sheaves and belts as well as sprocket and chain. For sprocket/chain I'm looking at ANSI 50...

I've got about 10-15 gallons of bad gasoline in various small cans that I've collected over the years and now I'd like to get rid of it. However, it's not a good time burn, and when I've tried to burn it in past, it ended up smelling like gas for months. I thought about adding it to...

My Way News - Runway tractor carrying potatoes mashes car Sorry about the pun. Just a reminder to make sure your parking brake is functioning correctly. Runway tractor carrying potatoes mashes car Jul 2, 2:19 PM (ET) BERLIN (AP) - A farmer in Germany has learned a harsh lesson about...

I decided to plant a little (and I do mean just a little) wheat this year. Around 1 pound of some wheat that spilled on the floor on the way to the grinder. It's come up nicely, however I noticed one or two wheat heads that were covered in a fine dark powder. Does anyone know what this...

I've noticed recently it was difficult to lower without really pushing hard one the lever. Today I raised a loaded 3PT attachment, however it wouldn't lower. After tapping on lever near the pivot point, I could get it come down. The lever operated normally when raising it. I'm waiting until...

This was built from a scrap truck hitch yard and less than $10 of remnant steel. The 'riser' (center peice) is made from the arms that connect to the truck frame. The top reciever was a last minute addition inspired by a poster here on TBN. I still have more tweaking, welding, grinding...

A few months ago, I purchased a very used Rotavator which I think is a E series (E50). For anyone who owns something like this, can you tell me? 1. What are the four speeds of the Selectatilth gears? 2. Why type of gear oil should I use? 3. What (if any adjustments) do I need to make...

Is everything better now?

From the TOS... #9 "Advertise, offer to sell any goods or services,... without the permission of TractorByNet.com. So what's the deal here? There are certain dealers that routinely solicite business, often saying "I can get that...

Hi everyone, I'm not sure how far in the national news to went, but there was a pretty bad flood in Northwest Oregon, Southwest Washington over the last few days. story: http://www.kptv.com/news/14776271/detail.html video: kptv.com - Video The town up the road was at the center of the...

Well, it's that time of the year when tractor talk turns to snowplows and PTO Generators. And as luck (or misfortune) would have it, my cheapo generator is nearing its demise a mere 6 months after I bought it. Luckily, it's still under warranty, so, tomorrow I return it to Costco for a full...

After reading the many posts here on TBN about the JM-6, and then reading and thinking some more, I decided to take the plunge and get one. In all fairness, the Oregon DEQ helped me a little with my decision, in that they'll refund 35% of the purchase over 3 years in the form of a tax credit...

Hey everyone, I need your help. For the last few days, I've been driving by a fiberglass truck bed cover for sale. I stopped by and talked the seller tonight and this seems like the ultimate cheap canopy if I fab up a frame for it. The problem (which is maybe an advantage) is that this...

I'm starting to collect quite a few pins (5/8", 3/4", 7/8" & 1") for the different attachments I have and it always seems like I grab a size too small or big for what I need. So, inspired by color coded socket sets, I was wondering, is there a color standard for the various sizes of pins? For...

Okay I couldn't think of what to call these, nor do I know if they even exist, so I'll describe it and see if anyone knows. Ag tires are great for traction, but what if the ground is really soft and I want to leave very little impact? Like finish mowing, for example. The traditional answer...

I recently got a 48" Contintental belly bower and today I installed it and took for a test drive. Overall, I really like it, but I'm wondering what the right tension for the belt should be. I think may be too loose since it seems shake a lot under no load and seems to slip at other times...

Does anybody have any suggestions for matching the 'New Mahindra Red' paint color in an oil based brush-on paint? I can get the spray paint cans from my dealer but they're pretty spendy and it's...well, it's spray paint and it's not all that thick. I'd rather have a can for touchups, but for...

I'm not sure if this an attachment or customization question so I'm posting it here. Has anyone seen or used the Rezloh tooth bar? The concept seems pretty slick and I would hope that the price would be less than a 'normal' tooth bar. Rezloh hard plate cutting edge with flush mount teeth

A fun afternoon project with the kids yesterday. I don't know how much wet snow weighs, but I do know I wasn't going to lift this. :)

Before anyone asks, "Why would you put a loader bucket on the 3PH," let me give some background. Since getting my tractor a year ago and fabricating a FEL 3PH Quick hitch, I've only had the bucket on a small fraction of the time. So, the time has come for me to figure out a way that the loader...

I got good news and bad news from my local starter/alternator/batter shop. First the generator from my old Mitsi tractor (R1500 is good). However, the voltage regulator is dead. Dead, dead, dead. I don't think it's practical/possible to find the exact OEM replacement, so I would like to...

Some pretty nasty winds hit the the Oregon coast range Sunday night and made a big mess of things, including the metal framed tarp shelter that protects my tractor. I was wondering, has anybody out there had much experince with repairing tarps with either the tapes or glues that meant for...

I noticed the other day that Mahandra USA's parent company (M&M Ltd) has recently changed their logo. Either that, or it's alway been that way and I haven't noticed. http://www.mahindra.com/mahindras/mwcom_images/Mahindra_logo.gif While this is a pretty slick logo for the shiny new SUV's and...

I got these parts today, as they were going to be scrapped and I just couldn't let that happen. From reading the various posts about "cultivators" I've noticed that there as many different types of cultivators as there are spoken languages in Europe. Given that, I probably don't have the...

I'm looking for the Mitsubishi part number for a glow plug that goes into an R-1500. I don't have the manual or parts diagrams. Does anybody out there have the part number so I can maybe (hopefully) get a cross reference? Thanks, -Steve

Hi all, I'm looking for suggestions here. I don't come from a farming background, so I don't really know if this is basic stuff or not, but here goes. Is there any way to smooth out a bumpy feild without plowing and discing? In other words, smooth it out but keep enough of the grass so that...

I have a small brush hog that came without a manual. I assume it's like most other brush hogs, so I'll ask here. For the gearbox, do they use standard gear oil? 80w+? Or something else? Also, as far as how much to put in...there's a plug towards the top...that's where the oil goes in. But...

I have an older tractors where the manufacturer charges an *obscene* amount of money for the glow plug. And, unfortunatly, I haven't been able to find an after market match. So, here's my thought, find a more standard Bosch glow plug available at NAPA, and then get threaded reducer so that...

Has anyone built a PTO driven fan or blower? The main thing I'm interested is having a 'wind source' to get big brush/stump piles burning nice and hot, but a leaf blower might be a nice side benefit. It would also come in handy to get air circulating in areas that are otherwise damp. The...

Hello all, this is my first post here, so go easy on me. I've been lurking quite a while, but I thought it's probably time for me to post. I was especially inspired by the postings of RonJHall where he attaches a Speeco quick hitch adapter to his FEL, so the first purchase I made after...
