    Allis Chalmers AC5050 PTO lever will not engage after PTO pump tether broke.

    I was spraying today. I finished about the 4th row, turned right to turn around and hit the next row, and the 3pt pto pump tether popped off as I was turning and hit a rut that jarred the tractor back and forth (obviously needed a little more slack in the tether). I pulled the lever up to...

    FORD 555 (B?) Loader/Backhoe drive issues.. Takes a long time to get moving. What is causing this?

    Is all of this necessary to fix it, that seems like a lot of extra stuff. Is it possible the seals that are old and stiff are reasonably easy to access behind the control box up top? Or is that just wishful, lazy, hopeful thinking, and everything needs to be done once something needs to be done...

    What model is this Case planter?

    Someone on another forum said it might be a Case K160, the last model planter that Case ever made. If it is, then the last unit was made in 1969. I searched for that model and I can't find any pictures of it.. I can't find literature for a K160 online or for sale.. anywhere. So without knowing...

    Cultivator type for my application. I don't know the name of it.

    A little update.. found this -ON the property. lol. It has 3 existing shanks, with sweeps on them, and on the front I-beam, there are 3 more of the attachment "things" that the shanks would go in. It has a 3 point hitch on it, looks like cat 2. I can't move it, its heavy. I think I could...

    Cultivator type for my application. I don't know the name of it.

    No we have a disc, but its too wide for the walkways and we have a lot of clay so if it gets too dry the disc won't do much bc the clay gets too hard for it. Appreciate the reply.

    Cultivator type for my application. I don't know the name of it.

    Yes. Looking to keep the walkways between the peas clean(er), at least until a canopy starts to develop-and longer if its possible. That's a lot of good info to look into, Thanks a lot! Also, RE area size.. at this point I WISH it was just a garden. I looked at the Planet Jr wheel hoe and HOSS...

    Cultivator type for my application. I don't know the name of it.

    I think I've saw these while looking around at "cultivators".. these are the ones that have the "finger-like wheels" on them right? I've never saw one operate, and don't know anything about them outside of this conversation, so I don't have any idea of what kind of job they do, but I will see if...

    Cultivator type for my application. I don't know the name of it.

    I'm looking to use a cultivator with sweeps on it to clear southern pea walkways of weeds for the first part of the growing cycle until a canopy starts developing. I've searched the internet a few days looking at cultivators, and some cultivators are called chisel plows, or field cultivators...

    FORD 555 (B?) Loader/Backhoe drive issues.. Takes a long time to get moving. What is causing this?

    Ford 555B Loader Backhoe takes a long time to get moving. If anyone has answers that'd be cool. If the tractor is cold, even when put into forward, and with the rpms raised (or not, doesn't matter).. doesn't move. I've watched my father sit on this thing for 10 or 15 mins waiting on it to...

    Tractor setting areas on fire?

    So nothing going wrong inside the engine would cause that? (and the engine show no signs, sounds, smells of any issue, no vibrations - as in this example) Just carbon build up and releasing when worked hard? I'll have to try it at night sometime and see what ours looks like.

    Tractor setting areas on fire?

    I'm posting about this because I have a ford diesel and I'd like to better understand what might have happened in his situation so I can be more aware of not only my own surroundings, but what potentially causes it, what to look for, how to potentially prevent it, etc.. I surely don't want to...

    Tractor setting areas on fire?

    I ran into someone I know at Walmart recently and he told me that they were roto-tilling an area next to a fenceline a week ago, and when he made one of the passes right next to a property line - when he got to the end of the row to turn around, noticed the neighbors property was smoking badly...

    Ford 6600 Ball joint stuck in place

    We eventually worked on the stuck ball joint enough times with more heating and more hammering (x 10) that it came loose. It looks like we will be lucky enough to not have to take the center pivot arm off... I feel like I probably shouldn't have typed that last part. Oh well, onward we roll...
