The Rhino is finally back together, :)

I tried finding a reasonably priced used 3 point 3 bottom plow for the fields on our 10 acres. Well a deal came up on a John Deere pull type hydraulic controlled depth/transport wheeled 3 bottom and I purchased it. The problem is on the size of fields most of the time will be spent getting...

Well this was actually catalyzed urethane over enamel . I have already removed the cleared over enamel- the fact that I could heat it with a heat gun and remove it right down to the urethane primer/surfacer with just a bondo spreader pretty much proves to me that there is no way the equipment...

The 554 Rhino and me testing the new (to me) GRAPPLE- it got a mouth full! and then there was this one stump... that turned into a 3-4 hour battle ...

Thanks, lets see the paint part of the airbrush- I couldn't find any liquid black enamel in a can,except for oil based paint, and the hobby store was closed, I had hoped to get testors model paint so after striking out in town I just took a can of Rustoleum flat black and sprayed it into a...

Well after de taping the decals I realized just how bad the one side looked so using the suggestions of taking advantage of harbor freights products- broke out the $8 airbrush kit ,sprayed some fiz can black into a cup , loaded up the little airbrush and this is how it looks now,by no means...

UPDATE TIME: IT'S BLUE.... (Equipment enamel FORD BLUE) figured this is pretty close to one of the 2 colors that was on it, and my 3000 could use some touch up to, so here we go- and if this gloss dies down (never used this type of paint before) in the next 24 hours I'm going to clear...

Thanks- still working on it when I can, here's the hood now getting closer...

Here's an update on the body work progress-this a different view after the damage, the home made Rhino label jinxed me I think the hood so far-the metal was stretched so bad that hammer dolly/torch- wet towel wasn't enough. Finally used a 3" cut off tool then pressed it on the log splitter...

These log splitters are pretty decent machines, I know what you mean about the table bolts though a few times pieces got stuck or were just the wrong length and got pinned against those brackets and did sever a bolt or two. Thought I should show how the hood was pressed before someone got the...

I see I'm not alone, sometimes its just a momentary thing, like looking for a dripping hydraulic line instead of watching the loaders movement-and of course after crushing the hood there wasn't a drop of oil from the reconnected line.!!! Thanks for the body work suggestions , I've already...

Well I feel a little better Knowing that I'm not the only one....Have removed the sheet metal and getting ready to look at trying to straighten the hood Here's the sheet metal ,couldn't stand to leave it on the tractor looking like that.

Had been working on my Rhino tractor cleaning a magnet that's in the main intake feed line, before the hydraulic pump for the loader. Had the hood tilted forward for access and decided to cycle the loader to check for leaks, you can probably guess what happened next.... Going to try to repair...

Thanks Bob, after looking at the similar thread under this one- Diesel Compression Tester for Yanmar 3TNE88, I had sticker shock , looked through some odds and ends in the garage, and when I saw that old tire chuck figured why not just cut off the non pipe thread end,run a die over it to...

Thanks Bob , I just installed a new injector on the Rhino-compared the spray pattern on new and old injector and they both atomized well and had a conical pattern.I had assumed the Rhinos injector had at least 2 spray nozzle holes like my Ford tractor and thought one was plugged. and so I...

I just finished checking the leakage on my Rhino 554 rockshaft after honing and replacing the seal. It got me thinking- that if if I just made an adapter, for this inexpensive leak down tester to replace the injector, I could trouble shoot my tractor diesels. Anyone already done this and if so...

When I got this tractor it was missing the front cross brace for the Koyker loader so I incorporated this steel box to hold chains. works ok. Also it helps to have holes in the bottom for drainage...

Glad your gasket showed up, thought you might get a kick out of this Rhino flyer from around 1993

Guesseral are you referring to the stump in my post or actual attachment 257924? if its the picture I posted it took about 3 hours. we had to get under some of the side roots and cut them with a chainsaw, I had no idea the darn tap root was so big!! But the Rhino did in fact get under it with...

It sure beats a shovel alone!!! this stump took the help of a chainsaw and a pick ax .A grapple still saved having to hire someone. Thats a big part of the reward of doing things yourself.. Hope you're still enjoying the grapple
