Hi, I have a 1986 Ford 1510 tractor and the right brake pedal just pushes to the floor with no resistance and no braking. I figure that it's one (or more) of the springs have broken, but I'm in the middle of getting my house ready to move and I don't have time to dig into it. Plus, I have it...

I have a 2010 JDZ920A0 turn and I am sitting here at my work bench testing the 2nd starter that I have put in it since I've owned it. It's bad. (Applying power to the starter via the ignition terminal, the bendix jumps up but doesn't spin.) I bought this mower used in 2013 so I've had it about...

This past weekend I found out that the guy that rents our farm from us has an old goose neck trailer that they haven't used for at least 15 years sitting in the weeds at the farm headquarters. It's 21' long and has 3.tandem axles tandem on it with 6 tires total. It needs new tires and new...

I blew the top seal on my bush hog out last weekend so this morning I dug into it to fix it. A buddy of mine told me that most likely the reason that it failed was because the vent hole got clogged creating pressure until it failed. Sounded reasonable so I started looking around the gear box for...

I finally got it running. I took the control panel off today and there was a lot of dirt up inside that cavity so I cleaned it all out then took each harness off its plug and sprayed electronics cleaner on both sides. Put it all back together and tried it. Nothing. So I got back down at the...

Last Wednesday my wife offered to cut the back yard while I took our son to football practice. I told her that she would have to add gas to the mower before mowing and that when she finished she could just park the mower on a concrete pad I have behind our fence and I would clean it off the next...

Used my tractor a couple of weeks ago and parked it and last week I went out on that side of the shop and found a large wet spot. The fuel line was leaking as it went into the fuel filter. I had known that the fuel lines needed to be changed so I went to Auto Zone and got the line and had to go...

We got invited back up to my wife's boss's cabin again this weekend and I made my little photography trek around the Chickasaw NWR just to see what I could see. Here's a few pictures I got from Chisolm Lake and the adjacent NWR. Enjoy

Is there anyone on here from the Batesville, MS area that knows if Delta Tractor is still open? I've been trying to get in touch with them, but the phone just keeps ringing and ringing and the website (http://www.deltatractor.com) is not up either. I sure hope that nothing's happened to them...

While cutting food plots at our hunting property a couple of weeks ago I came around the bend and almost ran over my tail wheel which had broken the pin holding it on and was laying on the ground. We didn't have much left to do so I picked it up and kept on cutting. I also broke off the rusted...

This past weekend we went to my wife's boss's cabin. I went for a drive Sunday morning and this is a documentary of what happened on it. LINK REMOVED Let me know if it doesn't play or there's some other problem! Thanks, Mike

Pic of the car that burned up. My son didn't send me a picture of the side with the tire and rim that blew off... Didn't mean to hijack this thread but I figured this was related to the conversation. The boys said when that tire blew it really smacked the other card hard.

This week I'm buying a 2010 JD Z920A 54" cut, with a Kaw 26 hp mower to replace my 2000 Great Dane Surfer 52" cut with an 18 hp Kohler. I really love the compactness and maneuverability of the Dane, but the only blade adjustment is by adjusting washers on the blades, Also, the engine is now...

Drove back from Dallas yesterday along I30 and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. You guys 'n gals in East Texas definitely have some pretty areas. There were a number of places I saw that I would loved to have had the time to just pull of the interstate and drive around and explore.

Has anyone used this product? I've got a privacy fence around part of my property and it has 2 2 panel gates on it, one on each side of the house. I had to do an emergency replacement on one of the panels a few weeks ago and purchased one of the 2 rail systems. It went up great, is very sturdy...
