I have burned down a patch of lawn with roundup and am getting read to put in some fescue at the end of September. There are several Gill pulverizers for sale in the $400.00 range nearby. I was thinking I could use it to prepare the seed bed. Will this be a worthwhile purchase? Will I be...

The blue one is the Mitsubishi FD1450D. Its older brother is the Satoh S-470 Buck.

Charlotte NC Craigslist has sheet metal, tires, 2wd front axle and other stuff for sale.

Here is mine on the S-470 Buck

A friend's tractor ran out of fuel. Pretty sure he's bled it right but still won't fire up. Any hints?

I just saw Jay Leno's TC34D sell on Barrett-Jackson sell for $535,000!!!!!!! Proceeds were for Fisher House, a charity that helps veterans.

My welder is just inside an open barn. Welded fine yesterday but today after a good rain I was getting set up to weld outside again. Started getting a tingle from the ground clamp after I turned on the welder. It is an old AC welder. How can I check my receptacle to see if it is wired...

The mighty Buck has been on loan to my brother pulling mostly cedar logs out of the woods for a new equipment shed. Thery were sawed into poles. Also, pine and poplar sawed up too by a Yanmar powered Wodd mizer.

Every now and then somebody asks about a screen for the radiator. I just had mine rebuilt on the 1450 FD. It was stopped up inside and out and the two side frames where it mounts to the tractor were loose at the bottom. Glad I did this when I didn't have to. This is my dedicated mowing...

My brother just bought a lightly used JX85 with 384 hours. It sat in a building without being started for a year or so. It has a new battery and spins the motor over seemingly fast enough but it takes 45 seconds or so to start it. Even when the engine is warm it is slow to catch. I'm going...

Hinges are short angle iron bolted to a creosote post with a short pipe welded on. The bottom one failed when the short pipe broke off after probably 30 years. Welded new short piece on today. Will put the hay forks on the Satoh Buck tomorrow to lift the gate into place so I can put it on the...

I'm in the process of fabbing a hitch for a friend. Brand is not important because the answer should be the same regardless. Doesn't the center of the hole for the hitch pin need to be in the center of the PTO U-joint?

I got one of these for Christmas to mount on my club car carryall. I will make mounting brackets and need a measurement please. What size outside diameter is the tubing for the front and rear racks on most four wheelers?

I need wheel bearings for a small trailer. Can buy a bearing kit for $12.99 at Northern Tool or a hub with pregreased bearings installed for $30. Are these bearings OK? The kit at NAPA is $32, just the bearing kit. What do yaw think?

I helped my brother make hay last Friday. It was some pretty good fescue and I was raking with a Kuhn speed rake and a Case-IH 485. This tractor is a diesel but has the exhaust and muffler under the tractor. I was making a turn in a tight corner and crossed a windrow. A big wad of hay...
