I inherited a bunch of rusty old farm collectibles from a recently deceased uncle. This is the only thing I can identify. The oval shaped gray piece is some sort of stone so I thought maybe a sharpener of some kind? I can make out "McCormick-dee....chica" but the plate is covered by some sort...

Arrived today! Can't wait to play/work with it this weekend.

Is this a cistern? (And what to do with I might add.) A little background. Property is in rural MO. I didn't receive any previous owners records but I have records from online searches that my land was owned by a local pastor around 1900. When we bought our property the PO told us this was...

Wow it's been a long time since I've posted! So I've got my better half on board with the idea of upgrading from our x300 for mowing - all the way to a subcompact. I like the idea of having a diesel, 4wd, rops mower that can do other tasks around the house and garden like a smaller loader than...

Wow I haven't posted on TBN in forever! Noticed we're on Tapatalk now. This is my first post using that ap so I hope it works. Got a new toy yesterday!

Hello everyone. It's been a while since my last post. And even longer since I posted about building a barn. I guess the name of this thread might not technically be appropriate, since I'm not sure what defines a barn verus a shop/workshop versus a "barndominium". Back in March/April I...

Need some help from the diesel fuel gurus. I went out this am to drive my tractor to the dealer for the AC fix. While it was idling and warming up, I started the process if taking the loader off. After running for a few minutes it died. Back story: After I finished mowing last week, I filled...

The instructions in the manual make this sound simple, which it probably is. Here's the link to what I'm trying to do: OMSJ290166 I can't get the retaining ring "A" to turn more than 1/4". Even tried a strap wrench but apparently it is supposed to be hand tight. It doesn't seem to be enough but...

Got 40 acres mowed over the weekend! Had to do it in the early morning due to the AC not working. I first noticed this in June a couple months ago but regrettably didn't do anything about it then. I'm not certain if it was working and then stopped or if it hasn't worked at all this summer...

Sweet. I'm very pleased with my initial impression. Wouldn't you know the first thing that came on was the cards giants game getting ready to start. I guess I don't have any reason to put off bush hogging now. I ended up just putting the blue tooth microphone on the side of the console...

After testing, I think the left was reversed. Now to button everything up.

So I just finished doing the wiring of the harness and preliminary install of the stereo. This is the schematic from the stereo installation instructions. Referring to the schematic from pclausen, here is how I ended up with the adapter from metra. I ended up removing the wires not used...

Thanks again dishpointer. The schematics that pclausen posted in the thread linked above for a 5085m illustrate what I'm seeing in my 5083e. One thing I don't understand from the schematics is which wires are positive vs negative to the speakers. Sorry to be dense maybe it's on the schematic...

I figure some close ups are in order. The first two pics are of the harness made by metra. It's model number 70-1784. It says "Audi 88-99/Volkswagen 80-2011. Despite the wire colors, it mates perfectly with the Deere connector. For some reason blue and blue/white were disconnected. The...

I had planned to use today to install a radio in my 5083e. Not only would it be nice to have music, but it would be very handy to have Bluetooth hands free calling to my phone. With my job I'm tied to my phone. I've run into a hurdle, but I'm persistent and will see this through to the end...
