The driveshaft on my post hole digger is twisted (to say the least). Does anyone know of a company that sells PTO driveshafts and components on the internet and/or by catalog? There isn't much selection where I am at the local tractor dealer (and he's very high priced.)

I am wondering if anyone out there is familiar with Rudolph Gunnerman? About 12 yrs. ago he came up with a way to convert gasoline and diesel engines to instantaneously change a mixture of up to 80% water and 20% naptha plus some detergent into hydrogen fuel. He actually had a bus run in Reno...

I remember years ago some of the old gas tractors had another fuel tank for kerosene. You would start the tractor on gasoline and then after it warmed up you would open the spigot on the kerosene tank and close the spigot on the gasoline tank. I am wondering, if anyone remembers how well those...

The seat cushions (not the whole seat) on my Ford 3930 are deteriorating rapidly. I checked with the NH dealer and for just the little seat cushion held on with a few screws they wanted over $200. The seat uses two separate cushions, a bottom cushion and a back cushion. These things look like...

I was wondering...my neighbor brags on Amsoil Syn. all the time. I have used it and it is expensive. I was wondering if there was some rating system for determining which synthetic is of a higher quality than other synthetics? Someone on the board mentioned a group 3, 4 and 5.Is there a website...

I was getting Pyroil Diesel fuel treatment from the TSC store for years. They stopped selling it last year. It was the best stuff I ever used, seemed to quiet the engine way down. I've used that Power Service brand and it just seemed to not do anything. Anyway, wonder if anyone knows where...

They had a sale this past weekend on Wal-Mart beand full synthetic motor oil 10-30. I was wondering if anyone knows who actually makes this stuff? On the back of the container it says "produced for Wal-Mart" but it doesn't say by who. Is the quality comparable to other synthetics, anybody know?

The starter stopped working on my 3930 Ford. I pulled it out and tried testing it with a battery cable and the solenoid works fine and the four brushes are not broken. When I opened up the back cover of the starter pieces of what looks like a round graphite ring fell out. I'm not sure what this...

The starter went out on my 3930 tractor, I see on eBay they sell brand new replacement starters complete for $109. Just wonder if anyone has any experience with them and knows if they are any good or are junk or what? Thanks

I have a 1999 New Holland/Ford 3930 which uses that new-type New Holland proprietary fuel filter, part #87801434,with the plastic retaining ring, which I think New Holland started using in the late 90's. Is there some kind of after market replacement filter or some kind of after market filter...

Hello. I have a Ford New Holland 1999 model 3930. It started sputtering and I thought the external fuel filter was clogged. I took the fuel line off from the fuel tank to the filter and fuel still won't come out of the fuel tank. Is there a filter in the fuel tank??? Do I need to unscrew that...
