Had a scare hauling my B2601 Monday. Construction area with concrete barriers. Traffic suddenly stopped. ABS kicked in on truck (Ram 2500). I'm sure trailer brakes probably locked up but I was able to stop in time. I count it as experience I've rarely had to emergency stop like that while towing...

Update. He's finally back to his old self and health. I visited last weekend and checked it out. Looks gtg except needs new front tires. I hope to pick it up in the next couple weeks.

That was what I was hoping. I don't see a check valve plumbed in between the tank/switch and the well.

My well is about 70' from where the main line enters my basement where the pressure tank and switch are. Can I connect a line at the well for irrigation? Or would this somehow affect how the pressure system functions?

Still considering it. I haven't gotten ahold of him lately. He's having some medical issues so it's all on his time.

Thanks for the additional input. He's looking to get around $3k for it, btw. He also has a Ford, maybe 2000? He said similar HP. But no power steering so that likely means my wife can't bush hog with it. She does most of that. If we weren't about to spend all our money building a house we'd...

Thank you. I'll talk to him this week and maybe drive over there next weekend.

Non sync is what zebrafive described? Have to stop tractor to shift? Seems weird to start in 8th gear.

Thanks. I found that and found operating manual. I've read pretty much everything I can find. It's hard searching for it since there seems to be a bigger following for the late 50s early 60s 830. Plus I don't think there were all that many produced.

A friend is thinning his herd and I need a bigger bush hog and ground engagement machine. What can y'all tell me about these tractors? Easy to work on? Parts available? Is gear tranny like a car manual tranny? Independent PTO means it's not tied to the clutch? Anything else I need to know? I...

Thanks, I didn't realize that. I found a parts diagram at messnick. It labeled it as ford/new Holland. But I think from that diagram the top plate, right above the tines might come off if I remove all the accessible nuts on the ends. I'll try that tomorrow.

No, got the ones under those holes. There are at least a dozen further it where there are no holes in that top piece.

I've got this old rake I picked up at auction years ago. It has several tines that are bent or broken. I can't figure out how to replace. It seems they have no bolts through them, they just get squeezed between 2 plates. The problem is there is no way to get to the nuts for the bolts in the...

I pull an old 5' Woods bb with mine. Occasionally lose traction but never power.

I had issues with the laptop I was running it on. They told me of a setting to change so ot would run with the built in graphics. I think it was a render setting. Check their knowledge base. I'll see if I can still open my old support ticket. Ah, I found it. See Troubleshooting 3D Camera View...
