I thought about that. Don't see many of those places anymore. I will need to dig a little.

Hello all. Have not posted in a while. Been struggling trying to find a starter for my tractor. Solenoid is clicking but no start at 30 degree or below. The OEM starter is $500 from tym. Will any starter that fits a d1503 diesel work? I have seen as low as $89.00 on ebay. They look...

I got in some rough stuff and sheared the bolt. Done this before a couple times. For the life of me I cannot find the hole when rotating. Either the shaft has moved or it is such a clean shear that I cannot see it. Any ideas? It appears it should have a snapring on the end of shaft . Does...

I have found myself welding alot lately. I have pushed my hh135 to the limits. I can stick weld but that machine is in my barn. I do not have the power in my garage to support that tank. So I have relied on my trusted 110 volt system. Don't get me wrong, I can do alot with this thing...

I am looking for the plastic spindle bushings that fit a GM-84 First Choice finish mower. I can find the ones I need for the 72" model but not the 84". Anyone know of a source? This is Italian built I think.

I was using my boxblade and notice a crack on the blade. Decided to back into the garage and close it up with a weld, still attached to tractor. Stupid me, I did not disconnect the battery on my tractor. May have been a fluke, but when I tryed to start my tractor I heard a small...

My t330 has been difficult in the pass few months shifting from 4wd to 2wd and vise versa. Today I cannot get it back in 4wd. Any Ideas? I hate to drag it in to the dealer. It is about 150 miles round trip. I am not even sure if I am covered under warranty. I have had it over 3 years.

I have a homemade 10k tandem that has troubled me for some time trying to safely distribute my load. The builder put the axles right in the middle of the trailer. Fine when I back my tractor into the trailer, otherwise I cannot get the tongue weight needed to safely tow down the road...

Has anybody buildt one one of these? I am considering it. Ubuilditplans.com I think in some cases it would be more versatile then a 3-point mount hoe.

My wife has been wanting an inground swimming pool for some time. I look at it as a way to get my backhoe attachment for my Tractor. Will a back hoe get this done? I was thinking about a 14x28 rectangle at 6ft in the deep end. Has anybody put their own pool in?

I just picked up 3 old honda lawn mowers. None of them run. All seemed to have carb issues. HR214, HRA214, and HR215. All for $75.00. All the parts are there, as well as bags and chutes. I heard they were great mowers, and they do not build them like they used to. Think I have...

I was towing my tractor over the weekend for the first time on my home-made trailer. All was good all the way down to my property. I kept it at 60 mph on the highway. On the way back it was raining. I was competing with the holiday traffic so I increased my speed to about 68 mph. I was...

Ok...we heard about the fords, now lets have some opinions on Dodges, with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation motors. I own one.

Found this weedeater at a garage sale saturday. It was like new for $25.00. She said it was hard to start. Got it home, pulled the spark plug, checked compression. 150 psi told me that was good. Spark seemed ok because it was trying to run when I tried to start. It sounded as it...

Be careful greasing your tractor. In the steering knuckles be careful not to balloon the boots to much. My boots on both sides blew out after greasing. I understand if you overfill and it sets out in heat it expands and blows out. Well I get the experience of changing as soon as I get...
