Here's how I do mine.

Yes!

LOL, you learn to do wit You learn to do what you have! I have a VERY old Miller 120V 135 MIG, I use the piss out of it for a lot of things, usually 12 gauge metal and lower. But in a "pinch" I've been know to heat some "real steel" with a torch to red hot, turn the amps and wire feed up and...

Good advice here. Learn to "stick weld" first, a Lincoln "tombstone" 225 AC/DC is what I'd recommend or a similar welder. MIG is great, but they don't like dirty metal, but If I had to pick a single good all round welder it'd be a "Stick" welder for general farm use. I've know several guys that...

After reading several of these post, some crack me up. The deer jumping the 20ft fence was the best. From personal experience, an 8ft fence is a great deterrent. Deer do not like trying to focus on two things at once. Try it, you can't. It's like skydiving, when the door opens, you only do one...

I've built a couple on F-350 Fords with used scissor lifts from various sources. before installing them, I consulted and old friend that used to build truck bodies. His advice was "ALWAYS have at least a minimum of a 50° tilt angle." Then he offered some suggestions depending on what I planned...

If it's a dry sleeved block, and the drilled hole isn't through an oil galley or water jacket, I'd take it to a machine shop. Machine a long cast iron "pin" and have them machine the end of it for the same diameter of the cylinder, heat the block, chill the pin and slide it in with red Loctite...

I have flow and pressure. What I don't have is the flow going to the right place when the hydraulics are switched from the remotes, back to the tractor for operating the 3pt lift. I need to know the how and where the hydraulics are supposed to work when the lift is operated. Lift lever will be...

Yeah, I was wondering if some cold weather might get it down...

Yes, I checked them. One controls speed. I'm not sure what the other one does. I may take another look at them today.

G/F's MF 383 won't crank. I thought maybe the battery was dead, it's charged. I've washed the "dirt and mud" from the dash. The Ignition switch appears to be a 4 pole switch, turn it to crank and it looks like it's sending voltage out. At least it goes into the harness. I then started checking...

OK, I'm back to working on this again. I've drained, flushed and changed the hydraulic system now. It has clean fluid and I've located where the water got in the system, gear shift lever. I have hydraulic pressure/flow for operating the FEL and post driver. When I move the hydraulics back to...

I'm trying to help a good friend out. He has a JD1435 I think it's what he calls a series 1. The GPs do not work, no power to them. He's been throwing parts at it. New timer, I think that's what it is. Right side of mower beside three relays. If You unplug it, the GP light on the dash will not...

A warm body that works for me part-time got on my 5600 and moved it. Later he told me he couldn't get the lift to go down. It has a post driver mounted on it. My tractor has a FEL and post driver mounted. I have one side of the remote plumbed in a loop so I can use both devices. With the...
