My contribution, consists of rotary mowing a field, with trees in it. I mowed up to a small crab apple tree and went under a limb. However, the "folded ROPS", caught the limb and pulled it down, between me and the ROPS. The further forward I drove, the further it engulfed me. Thinking, all...

Without reading all of the "back and forths", .... Is the belt on correctly. to spin the blades in the correct direction?

Just had a similar sounding problem. ... New fuel filter cured it.

I slit a piece of 2-1/2 inch pipe, to go over the cutting edge. It didn't push much gravel into the yard. I was very pleased with the results!

I bought a used King Kutter, 6' finish mower. I knew the right spindle was worn and would need to be repaired or replaced. While "bearing and seal kits" are available, I went for the new spindle assembly. Thereafter, the center spindle shaft, blade mounting hole stripped out, so I went with...

Since I got my M/F 1529, last fall, it has always seemed to cold start kind of dirty to me. I recently pulled the glow plugs and checked them for visual performance. They did have some carbon deposits, which led me to believe, that they weren't getting hot enough in 15 seconds. They all measured...

It's raining, so I'm playing! Did a little computer modification to tractor images, to see what I might conclude, from the addition of the 3" wheel spacers. I arbitrarily, selected the top-link point, as the center. The yellow line, is the vertical reference. The first 2 pix compare the...

If you are interested, please go to this earlier post, for more information.

Re: Bro-Tek wheel spacers for M/F 1529 I received my Bro-Tek , 3" wheel spacers, today. They were very nicely machined and fit perfectly, on my M/F 1529. These spacers were probably larger than most, with 8 X 8, 16 mm lugs ... total diameter of about 10". I never felt uncomfortable on my old...

I have my 6' LR1572 Land Pride rake for sale @ $495.00, OBO . I just repainted it .. in excellent condition.

Driveway maintenance hasn't always gone as well, as I would like, without more work, than I thought it should be. I've got a 3PTH Gannon box blade, 3PTH back blade and a 3PTH York Rake. With a rear mounted implement, when the nose of the tractor goes into lower level, the implement raises ...

Anybody have a half decent 16.9-26, R1 AG tire, for sale, relatively close to NE PA?

So, I bought this used Huskee 22 ton log splitter. It had probably spent most of it's days sitting out in the weather. However, it seemed to work fine. But, some of the powder coat was pealing off and there was rust underneath. So, I stripped off the bad spots, primed and painted. In the...

There is one aspect of my project, which i don't understand. I started with a 2" black pipe for the anode. While it worked, it didn't seem to be as effective as anodes of angle iron. At one point, I had the pipe and 2 angle irons in the bath and the pipe drew very little rust, as compared to the...

I'm not really sure, what to do with the table base. I thought, maybe, I'd place my "lye stone" on it. But, I certainly don't want to have to move it very often ... it's not like slinging an aluminum lawn chair around!
