thing is...I do full service on each implement before storing. so that pin had to fall out over the course of 5 minutes and a 150' trip up to the shed door. I literally went out with a dewalt 24v light looking for the clip. no luck.whatever got spares now.just pissed me off how it happened...

i've tilled with the stand down. bent the hell out of it. my bad. took 2 minutes to fix it. but when stand up it will ALWAYS vibrate and wear paint. when up and locked it still has lot of play, and thats actually not a bad thing. that stand is not a precision piece of machinery. its there to...

throughout that whole diatribe you missed one salient point. I don;t give a sh*t what you think. every time you reply to me I will say I don't give a sh*t what you think. you could save yourself a lot of strife realizing this...but you won't.

well if my type of thinking (anyone should be allowed to buy diagnostic equipment) is that detrimental....I guess I am more powerful than people realize. BOW DOWN TO ME PEASANTS!! good thing I don't give a sh*t what you think of me. I've dealt with this crap on the auto and ag side. but...

actually ag equip (sadly) was not even a secondary concern (edit:in Maine, clarify crap) here. at best it was a tertiary concern. I have no issues with each manufacturer, auto or ag, having proprietary standards.that forces all to step up their game for a better product. what I have an issue...

thought about that but...one branch on ground tears pin off. I would not notice. I lift deck and lose a 350$ axle/wheel assy. my plan was, if dealer did not have them (and they did), was to insert a clevis pin into the retaining pin (lot of pins LOL ) and safety wire it. I got at least 150ft of...

those that want to trace stuff on their own... buy an autel unit. this is automotive and not tractor. unsure how the topic went that way but whatever. https://www.auteltech.com/ I have an 808 unit as well as tpms unit. money well spent. whenever I take a vehicle to a garage I tell them...

woods manual states every 10 machine hours. however I can say with a degree of certainty after 3 years of usage once done PROPERLY at beginning of tilling season you will only have to spend 20 minutes every 10 machine hours. in the field and no good tq wrench around just reef on the bolts (3/4"...

well, after a YADA (old people will get this...Yet Another Doctor Appointment) I called dealer and he said system shows 40 in stock. then he said I do not trust it, how many do you need (4.48 with tax) I said 4. if one fell off the other three ain't long for the world. he said hold on Dave (they...

here in maine last year right to repair seemed to only go towards autos and the legislator weakened part of it in Feb 2024. whatever.

yeah lot of shipping for a 5$ part. lindstroms was 25$ cheapest ship. already gone thru that google search which is why I asked if anyone knew an aftermarket/other brand number. will call dealer tomorrow and order 2. then 30 mile round trip to grab. there are technically only 2 MF dealers in...

doing my pre-season service notice I am missing one 4260289M1 (agco part number) clip. look like this been unable to find xover number to other brands.

bunch of states have had citizen referendums pass for right to repair, tries to force manufacturers to allow non-dealers repair ecm related stuff.

I lock pto into 540 on and do what I can, mark what I've done with paint pen, slide the 540 to neutral rotate tines until I...
