I tried removing the Jesus nuts with a huge 3/4" impact wrench. No go! There are 4 bolts that hold the gear box on. If I remove the 4 nuts on them, will the entire stump jumper/blade assembly fall free? Another option is flipping the entire deck upside down, but I would have to find a helper...

I think ATV's are rapidly morphing into tractors. Am I wrong? If you think about how ATV's started out as sqirrely 3 wheelers, to 4WD, to side-by-sides with canopies, to power steering, to the proliferation of small implements, it looks like the classic 80 year old cast iron tractor...

Any creative ways to keep the little tool box quiet? I don't like to whine and complain, but it vibrates so loudly it drives me nuts. The only things I have thought of so far are removing it, or pouring it full of molten lead. :eek: I need better options, because I like to store my PTO cover...

Got a call from my dealer today saying I need to bring my L4400 (geared) in. The recall is for the PTO. My tractor was purchased in June 08, and wasn't on the lot more than a week or 2, so it undoubtedly has a pretty high serial number. I did a lot of bush hogging, and never noticed any...

Either my L4400 3 point hitch is too dinky, or my SQ172 is too robust. I only have about 1/2" clearence per side to fit my hitch arms on to the hitch pins. Needless to say, it has to be perfectly aligned to hitch it up. There's no sense in that. Wonder who messed up, Kubota, or Bush hog? (I'm...

Just got a SQ172, and really like it so far. (Mowed 1 time with it) The top link attachment is different than I'm used to. My previous RC (Woods BB72) had a flexible link to attach the top link to. That way, you could keep the top link slack while mowing, and keep unnecessary strain and shock...

How about rubbing that for me... just about there! :D Seriously, I really do have a bad neck. Instead of giving up my tractoring, I'm thinking of adding a large mirror or mirrors to the ROPS bar and/or rear fender. I need to see behind, up close, to keep an eye on the 3 point and implements...

What's a brush hauler? Dunno, never heard of one! ;) All seriousness aside, I need a very low wagon to haul brush. I trim my fence rows 1-2 times a year, and have the darndest time hauling and piling up the brush. What does everyone use to haul brush? I don't have a flatbed trailer, and...

EDIT: Sorry, wrong forum! Please see a duplicate post in the "Build it Yourself" forum. :D

Me and a friend went shopping for a used 6' finish mower. Stopped at a used implement dealer, and he had none in the yard. He did have new Howse finish mowers. On close inspection, I wasn't real impressed with the design. Then I spied what I thought was a Bush Hog finish mower. It turned out to...

Well, I said goodbye to my TC35a/16LA a few days ago. Some nice fellow wanted it more than me, and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I've owned a TC29 too, and both tractors served me very well. I really abused the loaders and the clutches, and they held up good considering. My NH dealer...

With loader and standard 72" bucket. Plane jane, no extras. I was quoted $20,325 plus tax. Seems awfully high for a plain gear tractor. Dealer has a store in 3 closest towns, so he has me by the short and curly's. :( I would hate to drive 60mi to the only other store in the area not...

Looks like I'm selling my NH TC35a. Someone fell in love with it and made me an offer I couldn't possibly refuse. It was a pretty good tractor for 5 years, but alas, my NH dealer closed down. My choices now are green and orange, and I'm looking for a machine in the 40-45hp range. Orange...

Found a used Bush Hog FTH 600 (6') finishing mower that was used less than 1 summer. It has been sitting for 2 years, and has considerable rust under the deck. Wheels, belts, drive shaft, guards, all appear mechanically sound. Is anyone familiar with this unit? Is it decent? The guy wants...

I've been using a friend's Kubota M125X, and both front wheels sprung a leak. They both leak where one of the "spokes" are riveted or spot welded on. (can't really tell which). Nothing in the documantation says, but the dealer says the big ag tires are tubeless. The valve stem doesn't tell me...

I've spent a good part of the last 3 days digging my 1.5a pond with a JD650H. Like any other machine or implement, I'm finding the digging part is easy, and the carrying part is s-l-o-w! I am used to the machine, and I can handle it just fine, but I'm at a loss as to what the most efficient way...

Did anyone ever find a common filter substitute for a TC35? I usually support my dealer by buying expendables from them, but I need one today! Thanks,,,

A friend is coming next week to get some dirt for a big church project, and help me dig my pond in the process. He is bringing his brand new M125X and a 25,000 pound tandem dualie dump trailer. Guess what? I don't know how to drive a stick shift truck, so my partner will have to drive it while I...

OK, this is a long shot, but has anyone used, eyeballed, or researched the Woods 1020 loader? I am particularly interested in the 66" or the 72". It looks awfully good, but I'm afraid it is too much for my little TC35, which only has a 9GPM pump.

Oh where, oh where did it go? Find out HERE (you will need a Power Point viewer) http://webpages.charter.net/bobad/where.pps

My neghbor just built a .75 acre pond in a week, and now my buddy is building a 1.25 acre pond. Looks like he is using the heavy artillery! He started yesterday (Saturday) and is almost as far along as me already. I've been chipping away at mine for 2 years. Once again, I get left in the dust...

After investigating a lot of whanging and banging noise, I discovered a loose cutter on my disk harrow. The harrow is a light duty King Kutter 66" model with 4 groups of 4 cutters. The cutters are 16", and scalloped. The loose one is held on by a large flange at the end of the shaft. At the...

Been looking for a high volume vacuum pump. It doesn't need to pull a real high vacuum. My budget is $1, but if the pump is nice enough, I may be willing to go over budget by $100 or so. All I need to do is pull a 4" column of water about 4-5 feet upward. I need to slightly evacuate a 50'...

72\" Box Blade Opinions I'm in the market for a 72" box blade. Nothing fancy, just heavy duty, and as indestructable as possible. I have no roots or rocks, but I do have a lot of heavy work to do. My only experience with a box blade is with my neighbors Bush Hog SBX 720. It is constructed like...

Here's a rainy day project that solved my chain attachment frustrations. The NH TC35 has a drawbar with a large (1-1/4") hole in it. I couldn't find any way to adapt a grab hook to it, so I made my own. The final straw was when I noticed my chain links were getting deformed and my drawbar hole...

I have a lot of deep topsoil to move from a large area, and my FEL or a box blade would take forever. I don't have access to a dump truck either. Since I need to move the dirt several hundred feet, I would like to move at least a couple of yards per trip to avoid wearing me and my tractor out...

Soundguy, You asked how my 35HP tractor pulled my BB72. I finally mowed my field with 6-8" grass and chest-high weeds. Well, it did fine. I used 7th gear, which is a pretty good clip. I ran at 2000 RPM, which is well below 540 PTO RPM. I was pleasntly surprised at how effortlessly it cut...

I found this in my driveway. Since it's NH blue, I assume it fell off my Boomer. Problem is, I can't find where it came from. It's obviously a rubber plug. Can anyone identify it? Many thanks!

Don't recall who asked me for pics of my BB72 on which I added casters to conveniently roll it around the barn. Here's one...

A while back someone mentioned (maybe on my X forum?) a brush hog with a nice chain instead of the steel straps to brace the A frame on a brush hog he saw. I have a brand new 6' brush hog, and the first time I used it I ran the wheel up on a levee. Well, it bent the 2 big straps that brace the...

I am looking for a quick and easy way to hook my chain to the draw bar. I have been simply choking a chain around a big bolt in the drawbar, which is not easy or reliable. I looked, and found a nice clevis hook purpose made for that. The clevis is wide and deep enough to simply pin the hook to...

Filled tires are new to me. I used my old TC29 and Woods 1009 FEL for 525 hours with no water. Everything worked great. Because of confusion, my dealer filled the tires on my new tractor against my wishes. Fine, I love the ballast. <font color="red"> BUT! </font> And it's a big but... My16LA...

I just came from my barn, which is nothing more than a 20x30 metal building. Well, I have been keeping my brush hog in one back corner, and my small plow in the other. To hitch up, I have to back up into the corner with some precision while my front loader points menacingly at my building and...

My dealer is supposed to deliver my stuff (see sig below) at 10am. Well, I got up at 3am and checked, and it's stll not here! I checked several times after that...still not here. I even looked down the road, and listened. Nothing. When will it be here? WHEN?? In my experience, men never get...

Troube in paradise. Dealer is having trouble getting a new Woods FEL for me, so I am considering the 16LA and taking a serious price hit. Can anyone anyone point me to specs on this loader? The NH web site has almost nothing. Thanks in advance.

Hi, My dealer just called. He is having trouble getting me a Woods 1012 FEL, and has a Bush Hog M-246 in the yard. Looks like th especs are near identical, and perhaps even shaded toward Bush Hog. Question is, will I be happy with the Bush Hog? I owned a Woods 1009 on my TC29 for 2 years...

I have a Woods 1012 66" FEL on my new CUT which is going to be delivered soon. Does anyone have good or bad experience with this unit or similar Woods FEL's? Any tips on use and maintenance? Thanks!

I have always wondered (and never ran across it in my manual) whether to run the balls in the hitch dry or to grease them. "Conventional wisdom" I have picked up over the years say if fairly clean, grease. If really dusty, leave them dry. I have been spraying white grease on them every time I...
