It started out with me buying some hiller disc from Ag-Supply to mount to an old frame I had at the farm. It worked OK and should of left it at that. But one afternoon my wife and I went for a ride with the top down on her Jeep and as we passed a large local farm I saw a guy making the best...

Went to change the oil for the 50 hr. service today. I had picked up an oil filter from the dealer (part # 72201898) yesterday. Got the old filter off with no problems but when I went to install the new filter I found that the threads were different and it would not go on. The factory filter is...

I first ran across a 5' disc Harrow on Craig's list for $400.00 and got it. I then found a tiller for $200.00 and got it. And then it was finally dry enough to use my new Brush Grubber. I finally had to stop with the Brush Grubber as I was give out, I must of got off and on the...

I bought this tiller from an old man down the road from our farm Saturday, got it for $200.00. He does not have a tractor small enough to use it any more. It had barbed wire wound up in it really bad and it took me over a hour to cut it all out. I checked the gear box and it turned smooth and...

Got to hunt at the farm today and pulled the camera cards and this is what I found. Things are starting to look up as I am seeing more bucks moving around. Jim

Been working on my $250.00 Bush Hog and my wife snapped a few pics of me inatalling a front guard I made out af some belting that was thrown away at our plant. Then a video of how I unloaded the Bush Hog off the trailer at the farm. I can't haul the tractor and Bush Hog on the trailer at the...

I picked it up and got it home, now the work begins. Not sure what model it is but it is a Bush Hog Brand and turned out to be a 6' instead of a 5'. I was planning on cutting out the rusted out sections and weld in new plate then said the heck with it. It's a $250.00 Bush Hog and started welding...

I could only dream of getting to do somthing like this, I spent the day looking for low profile 5" band clamps.

I went and looked at a 5 ft. bush hog for sale the other day, it is a Bush Hog brand. It had alot of rust on the deck with alot of rust through spots on top. The gear box turned smooth and he said it still cut very good he just needed a bigger one (10ft). I can get the metal from the scrap bin...

I was driving through the country and saw a MF 1480 backhoe setting in someone's front yard with a for sale sign on it today. Not sure if it would work on my 1532 and I have no idea what this would be worth. What do you guys think on this. Jim

Are the front axles locked like a spool or are they open diff's. The other day I was moving some old fire wood around with the FEL and was in some pretty slick mud. I noticed that the left front tire would spin and the right would not, tractor was almost stopped by the firewood at this point. I...

Found this with pine trees growing through it at the farm. My father-in-law must of set it out of the way for some reason and forgot it. It was the first use of my FEL on my new MF 1532 to get this thing out of the trees. Jim

Well I headed out to the farm for the weekend and was luckey that my new tractor fit my trailer. I was suprised that the gate would close but it did when I turned the bucket down all the way. It pulled great with no problems at all. I did stop and check the tires and bearings along the way and...
