Hello, I'm envious of your property. Some folks I know with split location have a tractor at each location. So used might be the option.. Here in NE Ohio, I've seen a good number of used, but need patience in getting what you want. I am a chart guy and as said in a previous post can, and for...

well, wow, I never would have guessed a farmall cub? would fit. This is the way I've been transporting my two smaller tractor, my F150 bed is 6.5 feet, tail gate up. I have some good questions now from everyone to pose to my club and insurance agent. I have pulled a camper trailer in the...

Hello, I have a brand new tractor and an antique tractor that I will in the near future participate in parades or displaying at the local county fair. My tractor club fees include coverage while at the fair or in a parade, but not the in-transit time, either driving on the road or trailering...

Thank you Doorman for posting. I'll have to look for your barn thread too. I never thought to look at this forum for projects. I'll be looking now. I'd like to see more pix of how the tubes are laid out. I built a similar size bridge myself. It was one of my most fun projects ever. Hope...

Hello Sea2Summit, I'll comment to our original poster, but first, your comment here quoted caught my eye as I was considering the BX series, but now leaning to the B2601 or Deere 2025R. Would you expound a bit on the poor handling you experience. What tires do you have? Does it slip? or...

soo very sorry for the delay in responding to you all. Mid stream here this spring took an unusual turn for my family, but sort of back on a schedule now. This Ford I have is the LGT 16 diesel. It is 30 years old now. I have been much impressed with this tractor as I plow, mow and rototill...

Hello, I've not heard of reverse tiller direction until I started looking for a sub-compact. At least in the Kubota make, I'm uncertain between the BX2380 and B2301. This is what I've read here and/or heard by Messick's and others: a. a reverse direction takes more HP b. a reverse is better...

Hello All, I pulled out my Duralast battery for replacement. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the date of 10/08. This was in my Ingersoll 448. I've not been so fortunate with my 16HP Ford diesel garden tractor. Seems like the batteries are only going a few years. It started today fine...

Hello All: December 4, 2017 was a great day. I just replace the fuel assembly and line to the carb, rebuilt the carb, and put fresh gas in the tank and primed with heavy lube the oil pump through that plunger port in front of the engine. With barely a pull of the choke and one push of the...

Hello, after the first winter or two of hard starting, I had the dealer install an engine block heater to my Ford 16HP diesel. One of my better decisions. That was about 25 years ago. It went well below freezing the other day so I plugged in the tractor. Was hard the next day but started...

Hello All, I was happy to get spark in all four plugs. Then went to the fuel. No fuel was going from the sediment bowl assembly into the fuel line. I took it out and drained the old gas. I guess it had that dreaded kerosene small I read others having. I took the bowl and filter off and the...

Hi Friends, when we ended some time ago, I primed the pump like advised via that relief valve and had good pressure quite promptly. I replaced a few plug wires and the tractor faithfully started and still does start. But after about 8 months, after starting every month or so and having...

Ford garden 16hp 3cyl diesel. aftermarket filters available? Hi, Tractors is about 25 years old. I use 134 hydraulic or transmission fluid which operates forward, reverse and all lift mechanisms. I have two filters for this system, one called a line filter and the other a suction filter. Each...

Hi, Tractors about 25 years old. I use 134 hydraulic or transmission fluid which operates forward, reverse and all lift mechanisms. I have two filters for this system, one called a line filter and the other a suction filter. Each, from Ford, costs around $33. I wonder if there are cheaper...

Hi, well, I'm very pleased to report back that I got prime back to my oil pump, but then it would not start until I put a little gas in three cylinders. What is not working? I took #2, #3 &#4 plugs out one at a time unserted back into the plug wire and touched the end to the block while...
