    When Shear Pins Don't - Broken Driveshaft Yoke

    I hit a rock with my Allied Buhler 60" snowblower. Not the first time, and the shear bolt has always done it's job. But not this time, even though it is the same grade of bolt. Something had to give. I guess I'm lucky It wasn't worse. Pictures are of the yoke that connects the driveshaft to...

    Which Electric Log Splitter?

    I'd like to pick up a log splitter for home use, splitting a few chords a year. Swinging a maul has lost it's luster and the years are progressing ;) All softwoods here, mostly pine and fir. I'm heavily leaning towards an electric splitter for budgetary reasons, the benefit of one less engine...

    Snow Equipment Owning/Operating  DuPont Snow & Ice Teflon Spray

    I just ran across an ad for this from the local farm supply. Says it is good to keep snow and ice from sticking to snowblower auger and chute. I'm thinking it might also work in the tractor bucket. Cost is $5.49 for a 10 oz spray can. Has anyone had experience with this product? I searched...

    Any one ever get a crack in their fuel tank? Happened to me on a former tractor. I noticed diesel smells and eventually the wet on the frame and ground. Was happening even with very low fuel levels, so figured the leak was near the bottom of the tank. From what I could see there were no...

    Snowblower  Snowblower - Allied Buhler versus Mk Martin Meteor

    I've decided it's time to get a snowblower. The last 2 years I did our 1/2 mile gravel drive with just the back blade and bucket. The drive is kinda narrow and with the heavy snows we had the last 2 seasons I ran out of room to push the snow. This year I got an old F250 with a plow to push...

    Battery Additives

    These used to be common in the auto-parts stores, but in searching around no one seems to stock them any more. However there are a number of these products available on-line. Many years ago I recall they seemed to have a poor reputation. But with the passing of time one might hope they have...

    Adjusting Backhoe Swing

    I have a woods 7500 backhoe with it's own PTO pump. When running at reasonable rpm to get decent digging power, the swing control is way too touchy. It swings so fast it is real hard to control. Is there any way to adjust only the swing control? Does the valve control block have separate...

    Fluid choice for a backhoe

    I posted this in the Attachments forum, then noticed this category so thought I'd ask this forum as well. I just picked up a used Woods 7500 backhoe. It has it's own tank and PTO pump, does not use the tractor fluids. As with all used items, I like to change the fluids along with checking the...

    Backhoe  What type of oil for a backhoe?

    I just picked up a used Woods 7500 backhoe. It has it's own tank and PTO pump, does not use the tractor fluids. As with all used items, I like to change the fluids along with checking the bolt torque, greasing, and so on. For the fluids, the manual says there are several different recommended...
