    AG-Meier 5' Mohawk Brave mower too much vibration

    Whenever I hit a sandy bump in the terrain I'm mowing, my 5' Mohawk mower starts to vibrate like crazy. So bad that it seems to strain the PTO at that point. Typically, this vibration will not subside until I throttle down to idle, and/or disengage the PTO until the mower blades come to a full...

    Any forage cover left to plant?

    Day job and late acquisition of disc harrow caused me to miss my window of opportunity to get some winter rye or clover down this fall. Is there any forage seed worth putting down at this point? Legume, grass, clover, anything? Or am I best waiting till Spring? I'm in far North Texas...

    Holes on the front axle

    What are these pre tap'd holes for on the front axle? I'm thinking I might want to plug them with something to keep the threads in good shape, until I figure out what they're for.

    50 Hour maintenance

    I've read in this forum that the Mahindra operator's manual can be inconsistent at times so I just wanted to make sure it's really necessary to change the hydraulic filter at 50 hours. Since the maintenance interval is normally 200 hours for this filter, it just seemed a bit odd. I'm curious...

    I've purchased a cross drawbar to pull my trailer, but I'm obviously missing something to complete my setup. The drawbar spins freely. Is there a specific part I should get (name?) to stabilize this setup? Is it a stay strap, or two that tie into the top link?

    Auntie Em, It's a Lister! it's a Lister!

    Ok, so it's corny humor, but I just watched Wizard of Oz with my daughter so please forgive me. ;) So I finally identified this old plow I bought, it's stamped on the bottom with "IH LISTER 22" , so I looked up what a row lister was and discovered it's yet another type plow typically paired up...
