    Handle removal

    It just snaps off, the nut is underneath.

    Help! Can't decide which trailer, LOL

    The mega ramps sit flat on the ground under compression, this keeps the rear of the trailer from squatting and lifting the front of the trailer/rear of the truck... much safer, and no need for rear jacks. If the ramps are hard to lift up after loaded, just drive forward a few inches. All of my...

    Need 7-16 r 1 tire the right size.

    You can't tell by comparing unmounted and mounted tires. My guess is they would be fairly close in size after mounting.

    Seven tractors, skid steer, combine, etc.

    What is it worth

    I've brazed or soldered holes in brass radiators on three different occasions, and all held for many years. Or a good radiator shop can boil it out and repair it for you.

    What is it worth

    I would start at the dealer, and google from there. I'm sure there are some around if the OP looks hard enough.

    What is it worth

    AR 36816 is the 5020 front frame plate, not a radiator part number. AR 36814 is the radiator if I'm not mistaken.

    Loader 5103 512 Loader mounting frames

    Or go with an aftermarket loader. I have a Koyker 185 on one of my 5403, and it has been a good loader. Their website shows the same loader for the 5103, since it has the same frame size. It has been in use for over 15 years without problems. My other two loaders are JD.

    5115M open station quit taking gear now unless I use clutch pedal every shift.

    I had the same issue twice on my 2021 6105E. Both times I could still drive the tractor by using the clutch to operate the reverser, but still had no PTO operation. Both times the JD tech was there within 30 minutes and adjusted the bracket for the magnetic seat switch, but said the seat...

    M5-111 and ripping

    I don't know what type of soil you have or what you are calling a ripper, but I've been ripping corn and bean ground all day with this Tufline 2 shank (28" x 1 1/4" shanks) ripper behind my JD 6105E ( not the 6115D pictured), and can tell you that 3 shanks is doubtful/ 5 is impossible with your...

    What have i got?

    Both boxes are for seed, not fertilizer. One metered for large seed like fescue, rye, wheat... the other metered for small seed such as clover, etc. It's an overseeder, no idea on make/model.

    The most dangerous trimming of the tree branch with a John Deere backhoe in my life..

    Just a little friendly advice, if you will undercut the limb slightly, it will fall straight down, rather than hinge down and bounce back. It's always dangerous, but you're making it much worse than need be.

    Off-road tires for your car

    My wife's farm car. We hit a deer with it, still drive able but not worth fixing. 300000 miles.

    No tornados here, thankfully

    No structure damage here. Just north of us had a bad tornado, in Taylor Co.
