I just picked up a McCormick International “10” seed drill for $400. It’s not rusty, but does need new tires. The owner said it worked when used last but has been under cover for a few years. Bargain or bust? Any tips about this unit? Approximate age? Places to get parts and manuals?
Can anyone recommend an aftermarket pulley to replace a drive pulley on a Mott 72" flail mower? I am having a hard time finding one. It needs to fit 1 1/8" keyed shaft.
I thought I'd post this as a reminder that when you have an electrical issue with your tractor, always start with cleaning the the battery posts and terminals. Always.
My 4410 started having intermittent electrical issues. It would start and run just fine, but occasionally after shutting it...
Good afternoon,
One of the rear draft arms on my 4410 broke right across the attachment point for the lifting arm. It was a clean break. The tractor is 16 years old. I priced out a replacement and it was around $250 bucks. Ouch! I decided to take it to my local welding shop instead. They...
I am having problems with the bearing clamp bolt for the main shaft on my Mott 72. It wants to loosen up and has actually fallen out once. I tried blue thread locker, but it did not work. Maybe I didn't use enough. There are no unexpected vibrations at 540 operating speed. Any suggestions?
A few days ago my son filled up the fuel tank quite full with diesel. After returning from some bumpy back-blading, he noticed that the needle on the fuel gauge had somehow jumped to the wrong side of the stop pin so it no longer registers. I've tried using a strong magnet to move it into the...
I recently came into possession of some long, heavy galvanized steel tubing. One is 6 in diameter and one is 4 in diameter; both 20 long. I was hoping to make a field leveler/smoother/drag out of them. My tractor is 35hp 4WD and I have sandy soil. I was thinking 10 wide so I could get four...
I have been troubleshooting an intermittent rear PTO issue. It randomly stops and may or may not start again. Sometimes tapping gently on the PTO solenoid does the trick, but this is becoming hit and miss also. I have a tech manual and have attached a diagram. I have several questions.

I have been looking for one of these for my 35HP JD 4410. I found one near me. They want $700.
Is this a fair price?
Seems like it is a good size for my tractor. Any reason I should be worried because it is 9'?
Any idea what this size unit weighs? Would I be able to convert it to a 3Pt...
I recently acquired 50 acres of abandoned cherry and apple orchard that has had the trees removed. The south field is part flat, but has some rolling hills on it. The north field is much flatter overall but also has some hills.
Years of driving the tractor\discing between the rows by the...
What would you recommend to buy to plant a wide variety of seeds, everything from grass to cover crops to larger seeds such as beans; and in a variety of conditions (no-till, partial till & full till). Any suggestions or helpful tips are welcome since I have never used one before.
