As you know that will be a difficult find as it's probably paid for and still loved. As a SoCal boy in a previous life many of the trucks out there get tricked out with all kinds of aftermarket stuff and wouldn't resemble a plow cable truck. Try the arid side of Oregon and Washington and New...
Not sure where you are located but the folks at Paige Equipment in East Williamson, NY have been selling Deutz Fahr for awhile and sell to apple orchards in that area. To top it off they are willing to help in anyway they can.
My Landini Mistral 50 has a bad fuel shut off solenoid. The engine is a Yanmar 4TNV88 and the shut off model number is a Woodward #1503ES-12S5SUC5S. Figuring my JD dealer might have this part as many Deere tractors have Yanmar engines I gave them a call and after a bit of detective work it...
I'm looking at replacing the mower blades on my Deere 455 54" mower deck. Is the group wisdom to stay with Deere OEM (part M115496) or go with another manufacturer's equivalent blades. Use is relatively fast mowing of 4 acres(vineyard) every 2-3 weeks with side discharge. Any suggestions welcome.
I have noticed that many have complained about the cab cooling and heating in the RAM 1500/2500/3500 trucks. This includes current 2018 & 2019 trucks. Most note that when the truck has sat in the summer sun that it takes ~30min for the cab to get comfortable. Is this really the case? Are the...
With summer heat in full swing it seems to me that black truck bed liners are common. I have one in my Ford but on hot days I wish it were white or some other light color. Does anyone have a light colored, or clear, spray in bed liner? What are the options for a truck where the bed does see a...
Anyone own a Load Trail dump trailer with the king sides that go over the wheel wells? If so what do you find are the advantages? In my case I could see additional room for brush and possibly easier reach to tie downs at the corners for hauling small equipment.
Since last winter I have had an intermittent starting problem with my 7-8 year old JD5325. I can turn the key and nothing happens....sometimes a click. If I immediately tried again the tractor will start many times. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 attempts to get it to fire. The difficulty is more...
Has anyone found a reasonable, and safe, 455 service manual download website? It looks like "YouFixIt" website has it but I have never used their service.
My 1998 F150 is starting to tell me the end is near. I've had this since new and I'm up to 146K miles with it. Most recently I discovered a small leak in the coolant system, the column gear selector is off by one place.....drive is when I select 2nd, and it feels like I'm losing coolness in the...
Recently we took delivery of a low hour Deere 455 garden tractor. It came with a 54 inch mower deck and rear bagger and a 2 stage snowblower. Very nice machine and really it's my spouse's baby. I find it is slightly cramped for me(6'1") and roomy for my spouse(5'1"). She's having to stretch for...
During a visit to my Deere dealer the owner mentioned to me a new 5G series narrow configuration tractors. After taking a look online I've come to the conclusion that it appears Deere is finally making a versatile orchard/vineyard tractor that has most of the features that the European...
My Landini Mistral uses a turnbuckle and rods with a single jam nut for each of the three pt hitch stabilizer bars. The jam nut loosens as does the turnbuckle from vibration with any 3 pt attachment. I added a reverse threaded jam nut to lock in both sides but this does little to stop the...
Hydraulics are an area where I can use some ideas and feedback. I'm strongly considering purchasing an auger for planting grapevines in a vineyard where the trellis system already exists. That means I can't drive the tractor over the row where the hole is to be bored. Instead I need to maneuver...
