I found a Ford 1300 with a loader for sale the has engine problems. It has been looked at by the dealer and it needs the crankshaft turned and oversized bearings. I don't have any experience going this deep into the engine and was wondering if these parts are still available and if worse comes...

I'm hoping to do a major change in what I own tractor-wise. I want to sell my two tractors and buy a different one, but cannot find a way to come up with a fair price. I actually want to downsize in tractor as I got a lot of the heavy work done on my property and now I'm hoping to get a...

A neighbor has a Ford 1100 that hasn't been used in years. It has a FEL, bush hog, finish mower and snowblower. I'm interested in making a fair offer for it, but am concerned because it hasn't been run in maybe 10 years. I suspect it will not start without some work, so I will not be able to...

Hello, I have a '64 4000 row crop tractor. A friend of mine has a 2000 (regular non row crop) that he took a loader off of. Is there any chance of putting the loader on my 4000? I know I need to go out and get the model number of the loader, but wanted to ask first. Also what should I look...

My wifes aunt is downsizing her farming operation and is looking to sell 5 small tractors (two International Cubs, an IH 274, Farmall C & H). My question to you all, have you sold tractors on eBay and if so was it a good experence. Or what do you think of buying from eBay? She's not looking...

Looks like John Deere green. Has 4 plows with disc's in front of them. I'm not a farmer as you can tell. My wifes Aunt has some attachments to get rid of after her husband died and I'm trying to find out what I can about it.

I got a 274 (Offset diesel row crop) running last night for the first time in almost a year. Nothing really wrong, some kind of fuel restriction in the valve coming out of the tank. So I drained out all the old diesel, cleaned out the valve, changed the filter and after several almost starts...

I have found a welder in the back of a friend’s barn. It is about as big as a medium suitcase painted red and the brand was something like Oakley. It has the plugs in for different current amounts, that is not infinitely variable, you pick 40, 50 60 and so on by plugging the stick cord in the...

My wife's aunt has a pair of International 274 Diesel tractors and asked me to look at them and I don't know anything about them. She is looking to sell one of them. She hasn't tried to start it in over a year and now it won’t start. I'm going to drain all the fuel and flush with kerosene...

I'm looking for information on how to build a bridge over a creek. The creek is about 20' wide and I have a Ford 8N tractor that I will driving across it.

I have a Ford 9N and need to do some grading, therefore am looking at a box blade. There is a TSC near me and they sell the King Kutter brand, which means I can go pick it up, shipping one in would cost big $$$. Is there anything I need to know before buying one? I would like to get one at...

I have a question a driving on the road. My understanding is that if you have a slow moving vehicle you could drive on the street. I currently have my tractor at my house in town and I drove 6 blocks to a self-serve car wash. This is a 5 lane road (2 lanes each way & a left turn) with a speed...

I'm going tonight to look at a 9N with a brush hog. Can someone give me some pointers on what to look for? The guy said he didn't even start it all last year because he got another tractor. He is having trouble getting it started now, the plugs stay dry (no gas to them, carb blocked?).

A friend of mine has a Ford 1600 for sale with FEL. Has anybody had experence with this model? I can't find much information about it, are parts easy to find?

I'm looking at buying a tractor that currently has turf tires on it. This will do me fine for a while, but in the future I will need to do some grading and I don't think they will provide the traction I need. What does it cost to get other tires and is it something I can change myself or do I...
