    Thinking about getting a farm pickup

    I've got a 2003 Chev 2500, with about 220,000 miles on it. So far, I've changed a wheel bearing, the starter, and 2 fuel pumps. It just keeps running

    Mf 265 steering issue turning right

    I have picked up a shop manual, but it says there were 3 types of pumps used. I don't find it helpful except to show how to remove and repair the pumps. No filter numbers to order parts, etc. As I live 2 hrs away from the nearest dealer supplier (and its not a MF dealer). I'll look for another...

    Mf 265 steering issue turning right

    So I finished haying. There is just one cylinder in the center. I grease the spindles on occasion throughout the year (as I don't use the tractor very often). In low 3rd gear on high idle (14-1500 rpms.), it turns fairly easy. On low idle and high gear, I can barely turn. Blocking it up off the...

    Mf 265 steering issue turning right

    Thanx, I'm right in the middle of baling my hay, but should be done today. I'll check the cylinder and get back to you, (hopefully tomorrow)

    Mf 265 steering issue turning right

    Hey all, I have an older MF 265 that is very hard to turn a tight right, but will turn to the left reasonably easy. I have added fluid to the pump a few times in the past. Often it steers okay turning in either direction when I first start the tractor up. Makes me wonder why I can turn left so...

    Dynesco diaphragm pumps

    Hopefully these pics show what the pump looks like. My finger is pointing at where the slight leak is. I can't find any other markings on the pump, except the attached metal tag in the original post.

    Dynesco diaphragm pumps

    Looking up what you said about it being a Hypro pump, it does resemble one of them. I've got to go to a family 90th birthday for the next couple days, but when I get back I will take/attach some more pics. (It's about a 5 hr drive away)

    Dynesco diaphragm pumps

    Hey all Not sure where to post this question, but here goes anyways. I'm trying to locate a manual for a Dynesco P15 diaphragm pump we use when we burn our fence line. (My dad used to spray his fruit trees with it until he moved). Anyways, it has developed a very small leak, on what looks like...

    Horse manure as a good garden compost?.🤔🤔🤔

    All my dad ever used for his garden was aged horse manure, that he dug out from the bottom from the barn, (well compacted and almost black), roto tilled it in. He grew a large garden, with huge tomatoes, corn, and 8 ft corn stocks. As kids, we were the shovel operators, and he was the...

    Male Square Head Pipe Plug with starting to round off - What to do?

    I've been collecting tools for over 40 years. Bolt taps and dies from 1/4" to 1", pipe hand threaders 1/4" to 2", wrenches up to 2" and a 3/4" drive socket set. I have more bolts than I'll ever use in this lifetime, (with nary a nut that will fit ANY of the afore mentioned bolts, buckets of...

    Height of 3 point hitch

    Thanx bhdshfz6 Problem is my Massey is a 1976(?) model, long before 'them there fancy tractors' all you guys got now. I'm happy it has a cab type r.o.p.s., with a heater for the -30 winter snow plowing days (and the windows open for the +90 deg. haying days) lol. The rear remotes are used for...

    Height of 3 point hitch

    As I understand it, the bottom pin hole should be used when hooking up to ground contact implements (plows, rotovators, disc's, etc) The middle pin hole is for things like Bush hogs or fertilizer spreaders, etc. Offhand, I can't remember what implements the top pin should be used for. Of course...

    Any you girls ever see this type PTO connection

    The guys building their equipment in this video makes me think of how all our farm implements were made, back in the day, before everything was being mass produced. (Sorry guys, didn't realize the video would be copied again in my reply)

    Buying crushed rock -- new MSHA rules?

    We have a fairly large shale slide area on our property. If we need a load, I just go over and get a load. If we need a lot, we have a friend with backhoe and dump truck. There is a deal with him that we get the driveway done every couple of years, and he has access to it anytime he wants it

    Shipping Tractors

    A hot shot is when you have an ordered part/tractor/hose, (whatever), picked up and delivered to the requested destination, often for a raised fee, for instant delivery to said destination
