Woods 9180RD-2 Bought the woods carrier bearing and front section of the plastic guard. The bearing was froze solid and hasn't turned in some time. Pressed it out after removing the snap ring and installed, pressed in new. The jackshaft has been wearing on the bearing a long time and needs to...

Loaned the tractor out to bring hay in. Was pulling a wagon and the front tiers just stopped and rear started to spin on pavement. It was not in 4WD only 2WD. Fella tried shifting in/out of gears and ranges but it was stuck. Let it sit with motor off in neutral for about a 1/2 hour. Started it...

Looking for opinions on 12V fuel transfer pump. Have looked thru reviews on line and who knows for accuracy. Fill-rite always shows up but they are also the most expensive. The extreme Power US gives me a hint that its made overseas like HF and just a name. Not against if its overseas, just...

Have a woods 3180 batwing that needs a center drive shaft bearing. Its a 1.5 inch ID greasable bearing, and part number 13133. The issue just like boat bearings, if you can look into the specs instead of paying $65 you can get it for $20. The bearing is where the tractor drive shaft connects...

My deer stand is my vacation rental. Doesn't get used during the winter so just slide open the back door or window

Found the other pins are called stabilizer pins and are item 230

Couple questions: Stopped by TSC and Rural King today looking for some quick pins to put in the adjustable lower arms on the 3 pt. All that it in there now is a couple 5/16 bolts just dropped in place. Thought I could find some hitch pins or such to use instead. This way I can adjust the...

Tried in the Massey section but no good, maybe general area may have better luck Bought a Massey Ferguson MF 18 box blade. It has ripers which come down somehow, and maybe its just has some rust and that's why its not coming down. Anyone ever work with one of these? The unlock bar moves easy...

Here is mine

Picked up a MF 18 box with all its teeth and figure the pivot pins are a bit rusty, but need to figure out what needs to be done to low and arise the teeth. Resembles this one AuctionTime.com | MASSEY-FERGUSON MF18 Online Auctions

Thanks, it does look like a beefy box, and I can afford it, just don't want to spend that much for it. Found a old 7 ft Massey Ferguson with mechanical (single lever) lowered teeth in good shape. I could add a hydraulic cylinder to go that route. It doesn't have the edge that can set to swing...

Want a box blade that can handle 100 hp or more, and at least 7 feet wide. Been looking around and there are a lot of BB out there but most are not for large tractors. Have a bunch of areas I need to smooth out Look at the LP HR3584 and got a price from Glassgow Kubota and it was $4500. Could...

Mine is MFWD and do agree JD loader would be best for resale, or at least matching green :) Do think the H240 so far is the way to go, and have a couple more messages sent on them

Have a 5425 and looking for a loader. Is there anything that can indicate which loaders (JD, Quickie, other, used) will fit on the tractor? For that matter anything that can folk can use to determine which loaders fit which tractor frames?

I know I got a great deal, got the whole out fit for less then the tractor is worth. It just gets me that JD wants that much for junk. The one for my 24 speed Kubota is $28 for the whole knob (all one piece) and is well made. JD has prices up there with CAT but at least the CAT parts last

Bought a 5425 and 15 foot RD9180 finish mower from a KY horse farm. Was a good deal on both as a set and going to sell the 5425 later. The shift knob was broken so looked up the parts to replace and all the items came up to almost $50 for a plastic knob. Dang JD sure has high prices...

Have a new to me 5425. Its a 2005 model and has spent its entire life pulling around a 15 foot batwing finish mower at a horse farm. The 3 PT is in full up position and I have been unable to get it to go down so far. Have adjusted the drop valve, and have the lift handle full down. Jumping...

What is better, single or double row cultipacker? My tractor is 7ft wide, and assume need at least that wide and maybe more. Finding many on craigslist, but as with all used stuff there can be issues. Any wisdom when looking at used stuff?

Cutting several acres with a F3990 and many places it just way to bumpy. Think I should bring my track loader over and rip the ground up, then smooth and reseed. I need to bring the track loader over anyway because of some real bad areas. Have also been thinking about using a disc harrow to...

No place for heat shrink. It looks about like a phone cord plug but half the size, so its small. It plugs into the side of the valve and wires just hang out. Bad design with no strain relief, and no protection. Note the little white end on the connector

Anyone have access to the dealer data base which can advise what has been done to a tractor? Looking for info on prior repairs. No names needed nor who did the repair, just what repairs were done over the years.

Found something not so good, grapple only has 2 grease fittings. The fittings are on the rod ends of each cylinder. All other pivot points have no fittings. Looks like I will be drill and tap for fittings. Don't see installing ones on the bottom of the cylinder since they don't move, but may...

Hose a bit long, but after changing angles, I don't think it will be an issue. Tied the hose to the middle of the torque tube for first use. If it all works out, will use a bungee or something Doesn't seem to be a problem grabbing just one log. with practice it would probably be even easier...

Got a call today from Old Dominion, letting me know they will be out tomorrow around 1PM. Mentioned to the dispatcher that I have a folklift, and he laughs and says the driver is going to love you, it weights 1100. Guess he wasn't told that I had one. Who knows it might be the Orange one So...

Have had my Hustler Fastrack for over 20 years. Last year I put new deck bearings in and replaced belts. It didn't need the belts Was cutting and the left wheel just stopped pulling. Find that a 5/16 rod snapped behind the jam nut. The part cost $32 for a 5/16 rod threaded with left and...

Bought the MTL X Series Talon grapple yesterday, weights about 1100 for the 72 inch. Decided on it because it has a solid plate across the back. This should help keep some of the sticks/limbs from getting to the grill. Think I will make a plate to cover the grill as well. MTL X Series TALON...

Agree, voltages are within margins of the average meter The battery can also start swelling from a shorted cell

Looking for a sprayer and would like thoughts of type to get. Have about 12 acres of flat to moderate rolling, and about 7 acres of a bit steeper angle. Plan is to use it for weed control mostly so 24D and maybe some crossbow along the woods, or such type. Figuring maybe 300 gallons and...

Agree, start cleaning the battery cable connections at both ends, including the ground attached to the block The key switch it self could be the problem, the relay or the starter. Here is the wiring diagram

Installed it today and go figure another issue showed up, its a CAT 3 fitting. Guess I'll be using a 1-2 and 2-3 bushing on top. So it goes, always something

Might just be the way the vent was installed. I'm not a plumber either, but the correct fittings need to be used and not just a regular Tee's, and how they are installed is another issue A tank will last forever so long as it doesn't have a top or side wall failure.

Sometimes I don't grease as much as I should be never had a pin seize up while I owned something, always comes from buying used and having to fix. Similar thing with my CAT 955L, had to replace the bushings and pins from the guy would had it, didn't take care of it Totally gone After...

sixdogs thanks for the tip, will have a look. Have used all kinds of grease and for me its always been, remembering to grease. There is another old timer (like me) on Iboats (goes by Bondo) and has a tag line, any grease is better then no grease JWR will try that, but the loader really looks...

Not the engine air its the cab filters, 4x6x1/2

All parts arrived except the 3/4 to 1 inch bushing. Picked up a 2.5 cylinder and there isn't much room for the cylinder to pivot. Once the bushing is installed there will be a tad less, but it still does move

Appears it can handle the weight for sure Here is even more weight :D it was picking the rear of the loader up as I took it away. Oak tree stump Must be a time thing, I can now upload pics Yea

Anyone install a HTL on the M9540? If so what size did you install? Have a 1 inch pin Cat 2 Reposting because some how I first posted this in the New holland section Looks like Fit Rite has a 20 week lead time

Anyone install a HTL on the M9540? If so what size did you install?

M9540 with skid steer attach Looking at several and like the clam shell style. Many list as root rake but I'm not going to try and bend the FEL arms trying to do something like that. Skid Steer Attachment Depot has a 72 inch which looks like what I'm thinking about. just as a pic only of style...

Anyone know what the gear ratio is for the M9540DHC24 SN 86399 ? The tire sizing is not matching up so trying to verify other possible issues. Have read the M7040 has a 1.438 ratio, but if I use that with my tires this would mean real trouble. Rear 18.4-30 Front 12.4-24

I'll do more research and may swap tires. Also going to mark the tires (front and rear) then drive it in a straight line to see if there is a rotation issue as zz mentioned. Have a bunch of other things to do getting the tractor ready for working. I don't really see how a tire only wears the...

Maintenance stuff Found a leak in the upper radiator hose (3C981-32439), need to order it. Going to replace all the filters to set my baseline. The water separator is in a tight spot. If the loader bracket was remove it wouldn't be so hard, but still squeezed in there. It looks like it just...

I do understand that its hard to see 3D with a 2D pic. As the tread wears away it gets wider. Note that the tread on the outside is wider then the inside, and its only the right front tire. In the other pics, my finger is not quite the tread that remains on the outside, yet the inside is much...

Anyone have a tractor that has electrically engage the PTO and 4x4? Just bought the tractor and giving it a closer once over. When I step on the break the 4x4 lights up on the dash. Now this is with the tractor stopped and in neutral. I need to drive it around some and see if other things...

Have a new to me tractor, its a Kubota M9540HDC24. Been going thru what it needs and have not used it much. Has electric PTO and 4x4 engagement. When the break pedal is depressed (stopped and in neutral) the 4X4 symbol on the dash lights up, don't know if that means anything The right front...

Well bought me a 2013 M9540HDC24 today. Took a trailer with to load, and it was a tad to narrow to load. So have to go back Mon or Tue with my dump truck and 10 ton tag. Dang 400 mile round trip and no tractor to look at.

Been looking over some M9540's the last few days and came across something that brings up a question. All these are cab tractors and when I moved the POT lever to engage it lit up, but I started hearing beep, beep, beep .... Moved it back to disengage, then slowly moved it to engage and heard...

Thinking about raising cow(s) for own consumption. Questions around when to get them (I'm thinking caves), how to care for them and when is the best time for slaughter. I have never raised cows and have heard many things but would like input Have 20 sum acres and wonder what is the best cow...

Found a open rops M7040 for I think a good price. Its 2012 w 1200 hours, 2 remotes, R4 tires and Quickie 51 loader. Does show where it has leaked a bit with the loader connections. Think its a 8 speed, and wonder if there where any issues with with this model tractor that should be looked for?

Your correct, less then 45 lb can be in any position an greater then 45 lb must be in vapor space. From 2014 edition Guess its one of those some fill stations will let you lay them down and others say no. Since trucks normally require at least 100 gallons to be delivered, I'll still have...

BigTex (I'm sure also others) have drive over fenders an can get them in 10 and 14K GVWR an lengths 18 to 22 feet

Have to many trailers and need more then my car trailer. Going to buy a tractor (60 to 80 hp) which will be in the 6K to 8K load range. May get some other attachments, but for right now, just trying to figure issues with two different type trailers. Plan to use a 2 5/16 or pintle but like 2...

Maybe not, but these come with a 15 foot hose and are designed to use in a barn, garage or other such place

If this is for a car/truck (mentioned 2500-3000 lbs) then use a 6x6 as the runners and notch for 2x8 extending to 8 feet, or 2x10 to 12 feet. Using 6x6 and going 12 feet add another down post. Use some X bracing where the wheels set. Decking 2x6 If this is for lighter items like in your sig...

Any way to have Only New post show only "New" ones. Appears New or Today shows the same list. Would be nice to see folks posting the newest topics instead of all new post for the day

What I see is funny is advertising a root rake grapple for a small tractor, the tractor does have enough power to actually use it. Not bad mouthing a grapple, I like them, but the root rake is a joke IMO. Used one with a 50hp JD 4x4 and there is no way even with its filled tires that it would...

R type tires

Never messed with a Century but found an electrical diagram for the 2035/2045, so will assume they are similar. Power comes from the battery thru 2 fusable links, which one goes to the key switch and the other to the glow plug switch. Ignition circuit goes thru 3 safety switches before power...

Was going to buy new with cab and at least 60HP, but the cab part came from the wife. Been using a friends open ROPS for the last few years. Have more land now and don't like the idea of using someone else stuff, so I put off things. In any case found a couple on CL which caught my eye, so...

Have about 37 hours on my F3990 and the last couple of times mowing, noticed the motor rpms going down a bit. The first time the grass was higher then normal so thought maybe that was it, but next time it was just tick as usual. Looked at the fuel filter and while its not easy to see, it...

Well the 3990 came in 2 days ago, but finally got to use it today. Sure gald I got the 39 over the 2690. The 39HP climbed my hills and had to ease up on the peddle because its steep. If I had the 26 I would be ticked off right now, but the 39 did great. The grass and weeds were 2.5 feet and...

Was looking at buying a tractor (Kubota M45 or 47) and 8 foot finish mower, but then was told about the F series 72 inch mower. Found a 2017 model with only 25 hours at a dealer. Found others with not much more hours. Trying to figure out if these are great 4x4 mowers then why so many used...

Instead of buying one, I'm looking into building a herbicide sprayer. Have a 250 gallon square tank on a pallet. So need a pump, tubing, bypass valve, wand, tubing and other stuff. Want to put the tank on the Kubota RTV and then have tubing to make a boom to spread out maybe 20 to 30 feet...
