    Wanted front axel for a 1979 ford 1500 tractor

    Checked New Holland, and it shows 5 different one's used. As I'm sure you already know all are N/A. 20 listed in salvage yards and all seem to be in PA. Pardon Our Interruption

    Need manual, gave serial# and no love

    No problem, that's what we're here for. I'm not even sure if Massey Ferguson even has a new construction/industrial line of equipment anymore, so best to use the OEM part number from those online parts books. You can call your local MF dealer and give them that part number and see if they can...

    service manual

    I never heard of a 465, and apparently neither has Google as I got no results for a 465. If you mean 464, there are a bunch on ebay. IH 464 Manual for sale | eBay

    Can anyone identify this one

    A-W must have used those "bull horn steering wheels" on a lot of their equipment. We had an old A-W 4 X 4 road grader at work that had the same hydraulic steering.

    Case CX90 clutch

    Did you replace only the clutch disc, or as a kit with the pressure plate..?? If complete kit, sounds like the clutch disc got hot & warped and is dragging. If it works OK after putting a new one in at least for a while, that would be my guess. Parts manual shows a button type clutch, and that...

    Tie Rod End for Iseki TU1700F

    I did but located from a dealer in the Netherlands. They have them both listed @ $122.29 ea. USD. Tie Rod End (right) Iseki SF, TE, TM, TMG, TU, TX, Kubota B-Types, Bolens, Massey Ferguson, White...

    Need manual, gave serial# and no love

    After seeing the pictures, it's definitely NOT a F40, and why it is important to post a few pics. No harm, no foul. AGCO does have online parts manual(s) for a 40, and a model 40B. Looks like the 40B was the later version and most commonly used with a backhoe. This is for the 40...

    Need Parts On A Ford 723 Back-Hoe

    You are correct, but the swing cylinders were apparently used on more than that model backhoe. I ran the cylinder part number on TractorHouse and the 555's showed up in the search. Didn't look to see if they listed the model number or go back to FNH to check if it was used on whatever model hoe...

    Need Parts On A Ford 723 Back-Hoe

    Knowing what model tractor the hoe is attached to may help searching salvage yards, then hopefully they will list what hoe is mounted on it. I have found it easier on older equipment to use the OEM part number for the specific part you're looking for. Messick's has a complete parts diagram...

    International 444, 1968. Progress Thread, Getting Going

    I can give you a few salvage yards we deal with that may swap what you have for what they have, if they have the correct size. But I would expect to pay some boot, but you never know. I'm sure those center wheel discs were used on several different models, so that is a plus. Finding decent rims...

    2024 garden season

    I usually put out more than I really need because you never know what kind of year you will have with the weather. This year was such the case with the long drought we had. The mulching with leaves saved them this year. They came on late this year before really producing. But I normally have a...

    2024 garden season

    Mine may take longer because of the low % brine. 2.5% works great for me. This is only my 3rd year of making it, and it's always been good. Weighing shredded cabbage in grams, then multiplying by .025 to get the amount of salt in grams to keep it consistent. Just keep shredding in approx. 89 qt...

    Need manual, gave serial# and no love

    Without a picture of the whole tractor, I'm assuming what you have is a Ferguson F-40. Depending on what manuals you need there are quite a few on ebay: Ferguson F-40 Manual for sale | eBay Looks like a heck of a deal on a good used OEM reprint service manual for $26 & change. I have purchased...

    2024 garden season

    I have friends that have made it for years, plus everything I've read says it takes 5-6 weeks. Even the recipe from the National Center for Canning National Center for Home Food Preservation - National Center for Home Food Preservation It sure doesn't take long for it to start working, it...

    2024 garden season

    Rains from Hurricane Helene got the cabbage kicked back in gear, can't believe how much they grew in a couple weeks, especially without splitting. Chance of a killing frost tonight so got in gear this morning and got things ready to make Sauerkraut. Making 8 gallons this year, the 5 gallons...
