I bought a used 7240 a few years ago. The previous owner must've been hard on the row marker arms. I believe he ended up replacing them with some custom welded extended jd7000 straight arms. So currently they stick straight up in the air and I've had to reweld them a couple times to keep them...

I've never done much side dressing of corn, but always been curious. I see guys drilling anhydrous in corn that is a foot high already. For the most part, it appears they're driving between the rows and running the knives between the rows. But what happens at the end of the row? Or if they...

I was running my Massey in the mud the other day moving some trees that fell in my fields. I noticed when I hit mud that the front tires weren't really turning when the back was slipping. I had the button for the mfwd engaged. How can you tell if this is working? Is there some sort of...

I've been reading a few forums lately about what people use to pull tractors out of the mud. So, the question is: chain, cable, nylon tow strap, or polyester tow strap? Most of what I'm reading talks about how much safer the top straps are compared to chains/cable as they won't fire a chunk...

I recently purchased a 10' all hydraulic rear blade. It's used... When moving with the blade angled, it appears the hydraulic cylinder gives slowly letting the blade turn with the dirt. Is this normal operation? Or could the cylinder be wearing out? When I hit the control for the...

Due to the recent flash floods, I have a bottomland field that is starting to turn rocky! Every time the creek gets out of it's bank, more and more river rock is washed into the field. Is there an implement that I could drag or something through the field sifting out the rocks? Thanks

Recently I went to start the tractor and noticed the tachometer and temperature gauge wasn't registering. Any tips of troubleshooting this issue? I'm fairly novice in these types of issues but I'd love to learn and have no problem getting my hands dirty... What does the tachometer and...

I have an old Bush Hog 16/18' disk. It's wing fold. It had a bearing go out on one of the wings but I've been unable to find a replacement bearing. Appears Bush Hog no longer supports parts for these disks. In my opinion, that gives the company a bad name having a product out there that they...

Hello. I have a Massey Ferguson 3660 with 3 sets of hydraulic remotes. I recently aquired a John Deere 7200 series planter. The planter requires a continuous hyrdaulic flow to run the blower motor. With that being said, I was told awhile back by a Massey dealer how to crank down the...

Purchased a user TB100 last year. Was under the impression it had the thermostart feature. I know they're plugs in the manifold, but I'm not 100% sure how to tell if they work. I purchased a manual for this tractor as it did not come with one from the dealer. In the manual, it mentioned the...
