One thing not mentioned is whether you have draft control on the tractor. That makes a real difference in how the tractor performs when plowing. Also what type of soil do you have? Sandy versus a hard clay? Many factors to consider when evaluating plowing performance. I know from experience...

Years ago we had a Ford 3000 that was seldom pulled extremely hard except when it was hooked up to a silage blower to fill silos. Each year it was part of the farm routine to run the first load into the silo at night to watch the excess carbon in the exhaust stem go up the exhaust pipe as...

I have plowed hundreds of acres with a 2 bottom ford roll over plow pulled by a Ford 3000. Weight on rear tires was critical. Ours were filled and we had wheel weights also since that tractor was a 2wd with a front loader. We were plowing heavy sod in late fall/early winter when there was...

We had one years ago on the farm. Wish I had kept it. But it was sold when my dad stopped farming. I like it better than a hydraulic model. The biggest maintenance issue is the drive wheel and I do not know if parts are available for it. We never had problems and drove a pile of posts with...

Good comment about the aviation rusting. My friend actually used the term "cold weld" to describe bonding of the metals that occurred. All I can say is I have had good luck with the product. W Jones

Any of you ever hear of a product called Mouse Milk? ( Real name of product) It is as effective or better than acetone and ATF and was developed for aeronautic industry. It is the best penetrating oil I have ever used on rusted bolts and nuts. It is expensive but you can buy it online. Rusted...

Great news indeed. Glad you are back in business!

With the number I gave you they should be able to reference a current number. Hope you can resolve this. W. Jones

That is great. Keep us posted as to how this turns out. The packing is a piece that fits between the starter and block and has the same number. Thanks for the update.

Eddie, I have a parts manual for my Century 2535. I also includes part numbers for the 2028, 3035,3040, and 3045 models. For the starter it has the part number HA 15010000B1. That starter fit all of the three cylinder models for that year (2004). This parts list was published by American...

In thinking about the route the twine took between the twine box and the needles on the underside of the baler, I seem to remember some tubing guides and tension plates on the side of the baler. As ZZ points out if there is no tension coming from the twine box the twine could flop around and be...

Southernspeed, what type of hay are you baling. Often first cutting grass hay will be on the soft side if it does not have a lot of stems. We had the same baler and the first cutting hay was never as tight as later cuttings. But that was due to the nature of the hay and not the baler. I see...

Just another comment, I have the Euro connector loader on a 2004 Century 2535 (Branson 3510) and a couple of Kubota's with the SSQA. I have already straightened and reworked the front loader SSQA frame on one of the Kubotas. Give me a Euro hitch any day. W. Jones

All he has to do is rotate the starter cord frame so it pulls in a different direction.:unsure:

Ditto on rear remotes!! If you ever get a hydraulic top link you will wonder why you waited! W. Jones
