Just wanted to share with everyone my steering box experience in case it helps someone else. My 1801 had steering issues, likely due to the lack of access to filler plug, a poor design, I found this aftermarket box on eBay and despite it saying not for 4 wd it works fine on my 4x4. New...

So I have a Mitsubishi 1801 I believe, I bought it non running and after an injection pump and engine rebuild it's now used and running. It has a loader but it is currently off the tractor and the lines simply coupled together to feed the three point. I have hydraulic flow from the pump but the...

So my tractor I bought non running appears to need a rebuild. The previous owner said it kept getting harder and harder to start then wouldn't. He had removed the injection pump, I got it rebuilt and also noticed a hole in the air cleaner hose and to my fear it appears the engine got dusted and...

I am not so sure I would want one up front, I know my side mounted flail kicks up a fair bit of dust and debris behind it at times, not so bad with a side or rear mounted flail, but in front why needlessly make the tractor and operator ingest that mess

My Mitsubishi tractor, 1601 I believe, has a 1" diameter thing on the dashboard labeled heat, at first I expected it was a buzzer or something to tell you the glowplugs were on, but upon further inspection it's simply a small heating coil underneath. Why? To warm your fingers or something?never...

i recently bought a JD210c loader backhoe and it has a 4 post rops, factory made, got me wondering why not have rops like that on a compact or an ag tractor? seems like a great thing, protects ya better in a rollover, and from a log or pipe rolling off the bucket and down the loader arms, and...

i just bought a JD 210C and was curious if anyone knew what other machines may share the same bucket mount, i wasnt sure if the 310 and 410 used a larger mount or not and figured surely one of you guys has tried this before!

i wanted to make a little maple sugar this coming spring but didnt need anything too big, just a touch bigger than the way we did it when i was a kid, a campstove and a pan, so i set out to make a small wood fired evaporator for next to nothing using stuff i had around, the body of it is a...

i have a ford 8000,the tranny makes a groaning sorta noise in 3rd and 4th gears, and also 7th and 8th since they are the same set of gears, it has done this ever since i got the tractor last year, also 3rd gear can be a bit hard to "find", like the lever has to be in exactly the right place to...
