    John Deere 5045E Likes/Dislikes Reviews

    I'm thinking about pulling the plug on a new 5045E, 2 wheel drive. Let me hear the good the bad, should've done, problems, wish I would've got, etc. Why would you, or would you not get one. My 66 1020 has been a trusty steed, but recently developed liner leaks in 2 cylinders. Thanks in advance.

    Hydraulic Cylinder Opinions/Recommendations

    I'm in the process of reworking a JD 37 loader. The boom cylinders were rebuilt. The cylinders for the bucket were "previous owner added", too short, and leaking badly. The two links are for 20" stroke, welded cylinders. Which would you use, and why? I've read many good things about Surplus...

    Quick Connect Addition

    I'm wanting to put in a set of quick connect couplers on the bucket circuit of my 37 loader. The idea is to have the hoses sweep up the right frame, and 90 into the couplers. They'd be mounted on a plate, with the connection facing the front. When I don't want to use the loader it'd be simple...

    JD 1020/37 Loader

    Here's my 66 model 1020 w/ #37 loader. The bucket on the loader is the manure bucket with extension sheets that create a small materials bucket. I've found a 5' material bucket, and will be fabbing up mounts for it. The boom has single action cylinders, the bucket is double acting hydraulic...

    Loader Valve Replacement

    Tractor is a JD 1020, loader is a JD 37. I need to replace the 2 spool valve, and I want to get a 3 spool valve to facilitate a grapple function. My question relates to the max flow rates. The 1020 hydraulics flow at 10.5 GPM. I have yet to find a valve with a matching flow rate. How will a...

    Agrifab Mow-N-Vac

    I bought a used Agrifab Mow-n-vac tow behind vacuum for picking up the leaves in our lawn. It's been on my wish list of toys......er equipment, but couldn't justify the cost of a new one with SWMBO. Got a great deal, some use and wear on it, but nonetheless, it will be a welcome addition to...

    Sprayer

    I built this sprayer a couple of years ago. It was loosely based off of one built by Pine Ridge, in a post several years back. It worked great, the boom and frame were way overbuilt. Features include a 12' collapsable boom, 6 roller pump, 8 s pray tips, 30 gallon tank, pressure regulated, and...

    Disc Hiller Build

    I built one of these last year, worked good. Over the winter, I used the steel tubing it was made of for a different project with the idea I wanted to build a better one. I wanted to include a shank to pull a small furrow in the top of the hill to plant in, and make it removeable for when I...

    Pictures from the Turnip Patch

    Got a late start on this plot, no rain when I wanted to plant. Still yet, the turnips and rye are doing great. I had a partner today when digging a few turnips for the table. If I didn't know better, I'd think he likes turnips. :D

    Food Plot Project

    Being a long time lurker, and after reading Lostinthewoods thread "Shame on you people", I submit my first post. Man, I didn't realize I'd joined over a year ago. At any rate, thus follows my food plot project. This project started out when we first moved to our home and acerage. I've had an...
