    Barring Rows

    Long ago, I heard of barring rows by turning the hillers around on a Farmall 140, 100, Super A, and similar tractors so that they pull the dirt in the opposite direction, away from the rows. I'm not familiar with barring rows and was just curious when would you ever need to do it. Thanks!

    3-Point Hitch  MF 245 Lift Levers

    Can someone tell me the difference between the two lift levers on the MF 245 (or I suppose on any similar models)? Someone once told me, that the lever on the left (next to the seat) is mainly used for attachments that ride above the ground and the lever on the right (next to the fender) is...

    I'm looking for a plow light for a MF 245 with rounded fenders. My local MF dealer says they have been discontinued. Does anyone know where these still may be purchased?

    Tires  MF245 Wheels Wobble At High Speed

    I recently purchased a 1979 MF245. The front wheels wobble when I run it at high speed on asphalt surfaces (highway). The front tires are fully inflated. If I deflated them some, would that solve the problem? If so, how much should I deflate them? I just don't want to under-deflate. Thank you!

    MF245 Owner

    Hello All, My father was a lifetime farmer and gardener until he passed away last July. He bequeathed to me a MF135 a couple years before he passed. I was disking with it last spring, when the engine died on me. I sold it for parts and used the money towards a MF245. According to the serial...
