    Draw bar hardware

    dang. I even looked first like a good forum citizen. Funny how when you search on 1.25" something different comes up than if you search 1 1/4". Thank you!

    Draw bar hardware

    I have a 45hp tractor with a drawbar. I would like to add a d-ring or similar to the drawbar. The hole in the drawbar is 1.25" in diameter. All the hardware I've found has either a 3/4" or 7/8" pin size. What am I missing?

    Is a ratchet rake redundant to a grapple?

    I ended up buying a Ratchet Rake following the responses here. I was confident that it would be great, but after using it for the first time this afternoon I can say it’s significantly better than I thought it would be.

    Traction  Tc45d FWD Lock not engaging

    Hey all. Was moving some snow today with my Tc45d super steer and noticed that I was unable to get the FWD lock to engage. It operates fine in the FWD auto position. This is the lever all the way to the left on the left side. Does it make sense to start by removing and lubricating the cable...

    Tire Selection  Tire size options

    I have a TC45d that is 4wd, and am in the market for a set of turf tires with rims. I have found a set locally that came off a TC35. There is overlap in the specs between the two machines, which are different between recommendations for tire size in 2wd and 4wd. Is there any reason to think...

    What can you guys tell me about identifying this old disc harrow? It has a ford decal on it so someone at least wanted it to look like it was a ford. It’s 6’ wide.

    Disc Harrow  Massey #25 Disc

    I found what I believe to be a Massey #25 disc. It has the round pipe frame and the twin levers for adjusting the angles. It’s 8’ approximately. It’s in need of paint, but otherwise good condition. Might need one bearing box fixed or replaced, which I think is easy done. Couple questions...

    Tc45d Questions on Quick attach and grease fittings

    I have several plugged grease fittings, wondering if anyone knows what size is used on this machine or whether they are SAE or Metric, as they all seem to be the same size. Dealer is exactly zero help. Same situation on my 758c backhoe. Has anyone ever used those grease fitting clearers that...

    Rear Blade  Back Blade

    Looking to add a back blade. I have a 45hp tractor. Found a used 8ft John deer model E0 880 for $300. Is this going to be the right size? I plan to use it for dirt leveling, light ditching, and snow. I am interested in that model, the price, and sizing. Thank you
