    Case Farmall 75A review

    My 65A is now 3 years old. Suddenly the PTO would not engage. I looked around and under the tractor just behind the fuel tank is a part called an adjusting sleeve. it had slipped off and was hanging on the cable. I loosened the allen screw, pushed it back on, tightened the allen screw and...

    Case Farmall 75A review

    Aggie83, At the 50 hour oil change for a new tractor I found that their was no way to get any of the filters off. They are on very tight and I have suspected that they are put on in the factory with out lubrication of the oil seal. Fortunately after several calls to my dealer they informed...

    Backhoe WEAK

    Just had my Kubota BH77 repaired. It would not swing to the right and came back very slowly to the left. Also there was no strength when going to the right, I could push the boom by hand, that's how weak it was. My dealer fixed the problem in one day. The explanation was "dirt in the...

    Well chlorinators

    Our water has iron and that sulfur smell in it when untreated. What I found out is that the sulfur smell is gas from Bacteria. The bacteria feeds and rides on the iron in the water. Which to me meant no Iron no bacteria. So I installed a water softener and put "Iron out" powder in the...

    Caught by the inflation demon

    We had our house built in 2019. Just a short 44 years from the day we were married and planning a house. We found a good builder and are satisfied with the house, but I must say the BS these contractors have is difficult to deal with. I would not want a disgruntled contractor any where near...

    Lawn Sweeper

    I'm on my second Agri-fab sweeper. The first one I destroyed the wheel gears so that I learned to set the depth of sweeper just enough to lightly whisk the top of the fresh cut grass. Also wait until the grass has dried out some (just a couple of hours) as a bag of wet grass is HEAVY, when you...

    Case 65A - Cab air conditioning

    I also heard about running the A/C during winter months to keep seals lubricated. I do that about twice a winter for autos and now the tractor. I cannot find the evap pan but there are two hoses over the rear tires that drip water after using the A/C. I expect that means that there is no...

    Lawn Roller fill

    I've had my roller for several years now. It is made of steel, the largest one that TS sells. First thing that happened was the pot metal bearings broke. Next the cold pressed 90 degree angles broke and then the seam on the roller itself leaks. This year the two angles where the metal...

    Kubota BH70 vs. BH77

    I own a BH77 that fits on my L3800. I would not like the limited swing ability. That's just for digging. There has been times when I needed a little more room in the barn so that by swinging the boom to the side I can make room for me or the utv. I take the seat of in the winter as rain...

    Kubota M62 No Swing force after Hoe Reattachment

    Just had a similar problem with my Kubota BH77. The bucket would not swing to the left but would with pushing on it and then slowly come back to center. Also it would drift all the way to the right when left alone with running engine. Took it to my dealer, who was very busy, and told it...

    Case 65A - Cab air conditioning

    I have had success with my air conditioner in the Case 65A. I read the manual and found that it clearly states "Not to wash the cabin filters". So I washed the filters, figuring what difference does it make if I need new filters. I washed off very fine carcinogenic particles with no...

    Troubleshoot Belly Mower Issues

    I rebuilt the two outboard rotors on my 2001 BX2200 60" deck. The arbors have a hex shape on top to accept the hex shaped pulleys. I found that those parts were enlarged causing a lot of slop between parts. When tightening things up it appeared all was running smoothly again, but not for...
