Are you wanting to do a septic system? run water or power lines? If much digging or even stump removal The 580 all the way. I sold my skid steer, hard to see out of limited ground clearance. If working in muddy conditions it will be stuck long before a 4x4 580 imo. If push comes...

Although a 5th wheel my older Wilson 20' tilt bed is more forward than some of the BP trailers pictured. Never had the tail wag the dog with it yet, but as others posted- get the tongue weight correct. ps. really old pic, I use chains to secure the tractor these days and straps for hay

Another thing I thought of. Have never tried to lift my 55hp tractor with the 2 post. I have a feeling it would be a sketchy operation. No problems with golf carts. ps. agree on the difference in crawling under every rig to set lift points. Every year older it gets to be more of an...

If you ever need to separate a body from a vehicles frame, a 2 post makes it possible. Asymmetrical style will give more door opening clearance. I lift my one ton diesel SRW on a 10k Bendpak 2 post have also dropped front engine, transmission, transfer case and the subframe complete on an AWD...

Wow have our trucks held their value. Wife got a call from the local RAM dealer. Then again a dollar does not buy what it used to. They fixed a key FOB issue last summer. Flat out offered her more than her 2004 2500 4x4 Cummins sold for new. Truck has 80K miles on it now but has been...

I built a set also for the Lotos pilot arc plasma, TIG, stick. I have a new "wish I bought it sooner," and it is a companion for my old Drill doctor 750 A new Vevor 13B drill sharpener. It is very precise all metal construction where the DD is less so. I have been changing some bits...

I really like the used X 500 we bought, that diff lock is very nice to have and the Kawasaki has run flawlessly as has the K72. The only thing I am not crazy about is the plastic hood.

Actually you just said the part I was implying. Agreed, FedEx is where the buck stops. If they have poorly run service by their contractors the contractors need to be replaced with either FedEx personnel or a Contractor that runs a tight ship. I will say locally both seem to be well run.

My Lotos 3 in 1 is still working too, next year will be 10 years old bought on a amazon sale for $390 + $20 for overnight shipping had it at 9:30 the next morning. Just ordered a 96" Fan for the garage. Another no big name product with a prime discount applied also an MT3 er-32 collet holder...

August of 1965 "Watts" Watts riots - Wikipedia

My younger self included, I’ve seen countless guys disillusioned with their “money saving “ motorcycle purchase, that they were confident would save by riding summers instead of using their car or truck. A few years of rear tire replacements every 5k miles at $200 a pop for just the tire, and...

Marcus House had a new vid with some Elon Quotes of where the Starship is headed lift and power wise and Beyond. Neat video footage and construct as well.

Some areas there are a Lot of Contract labor companies for FedEX. They wear the company clothes arrive in a white FedEx marked vehicle, but are not actually FedEx employed drivers.

You are responding to the first post . Starship does not use Merlins. RAPTORS old data Newer iterations should eclipse these thrust numbers At full power, all engines produce a collective 74.4 MN (16,700,000 lbf) of thrust...More than double the Saturn V total output

I was thinking about how those JD's are designed and if it is like the 3025E, mainly it just needs the hollow cast iron 'spine' casting replaced- probably some new lines and a drive shaft. The rear section holds most of the good stuff other than the engine. ps. No arguments on other brands...

Not sure I want to show that to my nephew he has been working his JD 3025E pretty hard and it is hanging in there. When it snows heavy they use the JD 550G Long Track but it is going through undercarriage work at the moment . Those tracks aren't exactly light , but the little JD 3025E moved em.

Yep

Well another month has passed for TYM to get their 'stuff' together... Any Update on your dads tractor being fixed, replaced, or refunded? Obviously Hoping for some Good news for dad.

Yes but Already resolved post 14 two and 1/2 months back. 5030 called it in post #5 on November 20th.

OH, No, say It isn't so... Was the noise present from delivery, or is it something that is getting louder? Is it louder than the first tractor was?

Gives "new" meaning to a government ordered "Ground Stop"

Nope, they can and have shut down vehicles while being driven.

Any chance the fuel gage is lying and it ran out of fuel? I managed to run my tractor out of fuel this last fall.

If that is true why does it cost $150 to fuel a Mirai Toyota Hydrogen car with enough hydrogen to even drive 300 miles. 50 cents a mile to drive using hydrogen assuming the car was free.

in a hundred years it will still be a quality HD grille. I can guess what most of these new plastic grilles will look like that is if they haven't already crumbled and turned into plastic dust.

Ford Demonstrators were Good looking. I will also go on record that the early 4x4 versions of the Big Olivers were Good looking tough looking machines as well, even when well used.

250? How about a CR 500 saw 1/2" Full chisel... large primary gear:)

We had a 970 when I was a kid, loved that powershift. It was a VERY smooth running diesel.

Especially when the controls and pivot points get loose like mine :) I still smile every time I use the Ford 550 which was a couple days ago. The roof slid all the snow on the horse run out from the barn. For years we used to hand shovel out pathways. Ugh. 10 minutes with the 755...

OP gets credit for coming back and admitting a mistake. I Hope that new Kioti makes him smile every time he gets to use it. Congrats on the New Kioti, Now, if we could just get some closure with a Fully functioning CUT for Flyinghigh's Dad.

Well I can understand using a full synthetic in a splash style compressor, and that is what's in both of my pumps. Especially since the manufacturer doubled the warranty to 4 years on the new 2 stage unit, but pretty sure these synthetics are non detergent. Right , same the pressure washer...

That must also be a pressure lubed pump with filtration? Correct? Any splash lubed compressor I have seen specifically recommends Against detergent Oils. That will suspend the metal particulates and run them through all the moving parts versus settling out in the bottom of the sump.

For now I am keeping the new compressor at 175 for the bead breaker on my tire machine. When it is really cold tires like 10 plies can be much harder to break the bead loose. If 175 psi on the bead breaker won't do it, I will just use the TLB's bucket. Just have to be sure to miss the...

I ran my new 80 gallon 2 stage goes from 0-175 psi in 6 1/2 minutes. My old IR 60 gallon have not tested the time yet. Going to install a new pump since it is pumping some oil . Should have over 30 CFM @90psi with both compressors running.

Is that the original motor on the Ingersoll? I find it odd that it is not showing a continous duty motor and looking lists 30 minutes.? I will run my Ingersoll 60 gallon and my new Black Diamond 80 gallon empty to full and post the numbers

My 3000's SOS worked great for mowing, plowing It was rebuilt about 10 years before I bought it by a Ford tractor dealer.

Branson retains the outer stub axle with a large nut and keyed lock. TYM uses a circlip, imo the retained nut is superior

That is a bummer. I disagree on it necessarily being cheaper to put a new engine in. The old one would still need to be dismantled and removed. Maybe you just damaged a piston, broke rings and or a bent rod, any of which a partial hydrolock can cause. I would have them pull the head and...

Yep the weight helps. I drop the WIFO down on the driveway ends where the county plowed us in. 1275 lb. of blower does a good job of getting to the base if you want to.

Yes the distance back from the 3 point definitely affects the lifting ability.

I would say check the blower weights closely. From some of the Inverted units I looked up many of the Hybrid Inverted blowers are actually lighter for the 3 point to lift than the standard Inverted blowers.

SpaceX speech by Elon year review and much more. Launch cadence to increase to maybe150 Falcon 9's in 2024. Looking forward 8 years we will likely be on Mars with Starship.

The soft silicone valve seal has other attributes as well. Any engine that does not have the oil pump submerged ( which virtually guarantees self prime on start up) is where the issue is. Engines that have the pump elevated have to pull the oil from the bottom of the sump. Filters with the...

Could be. I do know the WIFO non hybrid version has a high back wall. IIRC it is 31" . Nothing has got over it yet. I have tried to "overload" it with snow and while I can overtake the tractors ability to maintain RPM if in too high of gear, have not been able to overstuff the blower itself...

we have such a dysfunctional love/hate affair with Chinese goods. Would I like to buy a Black & Decker drill built in Texas? you bet I would. And I'd pay more for it. but ONLY if it outperformed the cheaper stuff or had some other benefit, service, parts, anything, to justify the extra cost...

Yes, but the News is like working in a diamond/coal mine. Some days are.... The wonders that Webb will show humans is just beginning. Like the program operators said the life span is now twenty years instead of ten, since they did not have any needed course corrections.

Not so sure, since he has over 1000 posts and been a member over 10 years. That said, top the new machine oil levels off. Park it on a clean area and verify whether oil leakage is actually happening.

Flyinghigh I am still Not convinced just replacing an outer hub will fix what symptoms you described. Specifically that both wheels were locked together and rotated together. That really sounds like a spider gear problem inside the center differential pumpkin, Not an outer hub problem. A...

It was started in 1968 and again in 1971 when GM and others had to drop compression ratios from just under 11:1 to under 9:1 Then in 1973 Pontiac really stepped in it with the SD 455 Firebirds. EPA made them re do the EGR and drop the original cam for a less polluting one among other changes...

It may help with access and is Definitely very nice to have for servicing ... -but all that extra bracing triangulates , reinforces and helps carry those forces to the rear axle, instead of through the bellhousing and even engine especially if the FEL bucket contacts something unmovable...

I had the loudness problem with the Ford backhoe and the round muffler was just to loud. Read where some guys buy the larger Oval one for the 6710 and some others and it made a Big difference. Besides being quieter in general it also took a lot of the pop out of the exhaust note.

Makes me wonder if the "fix" will cut the MPG by 30% and Big loss of HP and Torque and then maybe save 10% on emissions. A win in the EPA's mind SMH, Even though diesel use will increase- but since it is taxed also a win. Cough. Who gets the money ? the EPA themselves? There are days...

I do find it amazing How many new Hybrid inverted blowers are available this year versus what was available just over a year ago. Inverted blowers are catching on in the US for real now. I think the standard Inverted blowers are just going to be leap frogged and hybrid Inverted will...

Luckily for some, not all states in all areas emissions test.

How large of woods and how many stumps / trees? How much reach and digging force do you want/need? I am somewhat of a proponent of 3rd option of buying an older full size TLB for "similar" money to a new Chinese mini/micro Excavator or an add on backhoe. Instead of a 2000 lb. mini you can...

WIFO WBPT84 They call it an 84" but with the bend on each side panel making wings it cuts an 87" swath. Just a basic inverted not Hybrid, but it works really well with 20" auger and 27" x 10" Impeller. It saves time doing the drives and parking areas versus old method of bucket...

Yep, I was able to take my 87" Inverted (when it finally arrived) through 21+ inches of multiple storm build up, packed, rained on and refrozen snow. Couldn't Go superfast, but never stopped the tractor either. it just winged it. I think the large diameter second stage impeller with tight...

Almost a full month since the OP's last post on November 23. 'Last seen' date December 8th. Wonder if this is going to be a dead end thread.

IF Nothing else Pics may Help another owner of this Model catch it early. That could be very Helpful to them . Sorry This happened, Hopefully a warranty repair.

from your post I couldn't help but think of the Little Village Song "Do You want My Job"

Nope Will be driving our 03 and 04 CP3 equipped Cummins Dodges for the foreseeable future. They just keep running with basic maintenance. I can deal with the little stuff.

And my point is the CP3 is a Superior design in every way as far as overall LONG TERM reliability is concerned. Maybe watch that video I posted and consider the design differences. Again How many 2001 Duramaxes or 2003 + RAMs running CP 3's are dying due to exploded Injection pumps...

I wonder how many warrantee's have been denied using that exact blanket statement? How many Fewer CP3 failures on less well maintained CP3 equipped diesels built all the way back to 2001? The Forged steel 3 cylinder CP 3 has a better reliability record than the 2 cylinder Aluminum CP...

YEP Like 90* sideways. CP 3 is just a more robust unit. CP 3 has higher flow volume as well. It just doesn't make as much pressure. Some cases it is so violent when the failure happens, it can break the engines cam / crank gears. The scary thing is the engine dies suddenly and no chance of...

Probably fairly well. I took my Inverted out in over 20" of snow and my rhino tractors R1's which are over 30 years old. I have never had that tractor stuck but I think blowing over 25" deep snow on a warming day might just do it.

I think it depends on how long of Good freeze the area you live in provides. I switched to an inverted blower and like posted above until you get a built up surface of snow that locks the gravel down it is not a good method. We just had a big enough snow that it had to be removed and...

That is how we did it on my shop, mounted a HF winch at the top of a couple 14' ? 2x6's screwed and bolted together. Stabilized it (triangulated) with tie downs to the sides of the bucket. Walls are 14', trusses were 30 feet long. 4/12 pitch (Similar to Farmer 495) I did make top...

Finally got around to changing oil and filter on the Rams Cummins and the Rhino tractor. The 2.5 Gallon jugs had the the foil seal. I Do notice How much FASTER the Diesels crank over when the temps drop down well under freezing with T6 5W-40 . Fast Cranking speed helps with starting

I don't mind the winters but do not want to slip on the Ice again, Reminds me I need to get some ice cleats for my boots Enjoy the Sun, sounds great!

I always think that and then when you have other plans all heck breaks loose and the stuff won't quit falling.

Agree Keep making chips. There has got to be a way to fix it. I started with a "clearance isle" HF 7 x 10 that had been dropped for $3-- something, been a great little lathe and I do still use it, when I can't fit it in the jaws of the used big brother HF Central Machinery 1224 lathe...

That lathe compares to the 7 x 10 HF lathe except the bed is 4 inches longer on the Vevor which even at HF prices is almost 3 times the price @$780. Cutting something to get to that price. I have several Vevor tools and so far everything has been good but have read some complaints on the...

Much smaller job but need to mount up the inverted blower, but thinking I may modify the 3 point mounts since when backed up last year on the hi way plow berms at driveway ends, the blower will not drop all the way down. Probably more of the tractors issue but easier to modify the blower so...

That is what I had to do as well. Antenna on a pole and a powered booster for the Mobley. Only needed the Mobley a few times when Starlink drops out, plus it is nice to have mobile wifi in the older vehicles by just plugging into the obd2 port and using the Mobley like it was designed.

I missed out on a Really Nice JD 310 very similar to what you bought by an hour. Almost bought a JCB but the parts availability versus others worried me. The old Ford works for what use it for and it now owes me nothing and imo has more than paid for itself- but I may look for a newer and...

Early on, I built a home made plow from a 55 gallon barrel split in half and then welded in the center to double the width put a blade on the bottom and built a welded cage around the back side from angle and straight steel. It lasted 2 plowings before the forces crushed it and I took it to...

Haven't quite put the old yz away. Bought a new rear knobby for it a couple months back and finally put it on tonight. The last new rear tire was a 150/80 -18. Apparently they quit making that size in knobbies so just went back to a stock size 5.10 -18 in an IRC Vulcanduro. Also...

Starlink is now @ break even cash flow, rumors it may be taken public eventually. 2 million subscribers and increasing Elon made a video call while in flight to another in flight aircraft. Things are definitely moving forward.

Just getting into and learning "machining" and added a BXA ? 250-200 series tool post and 11 holders with some XL's added a few weeks back. Finding, When folks say to budget 1/2 or more for tooling -it isn't a joke, but does help you can find it used at a good price. After adding the...

jmo. Both my high hour 3 cylinder Ford tractor diesels have/ had 60+ cold PSI and over 45 lb hot at a 600 idle RPM. (Over 5000 hours) Believe this very common for Ford diesel tractor engines, as far as what kind of oil pressure they make. Which is why this "rebuilt" Ford with a New pump...

A subwoofer cabinet kit and a Dayton 15" driver for the garage stereo... good match to a 300 watt per channel Soundcraftsman amp i have had laying around to drive it. Garage stereo is a bit bass shy. but not for long. Lathe Dogs some used assortments of HSS and Carbide lathe tools off...

A stuck enrichment would have the exhaust smell of unburned diesel, Not burned engine Oil. The exhaust smoke Has been stated as burning of engine oil not incomplete combustion of diesel fuel after asking the OP.

I tried to go that route but apparently used mini EXes are All Gold plated around here. At least there are some Good Old TLB's available. Glad I Got mine. and compared to putting a backhoe on the back of my tractor Nice to have a 15 foot digging depth with Good power and also works as...

All I can say to that is most shops want the oversize pistons ON Hand Before they bore a block, that way they can final hone to put it on the money spec wise as far as piston to wall clearance. . So the block was bored .040 over and then a set of .040 pistons in a kit was sourced?

New a guy who had one in a bus. Sure sounded different than say a Cummins with a Turbo. I missed out on buying a good running MFWD Oliver with one, even had a FEL. Don't need it but sure would be a "neat" tractor to have. I was thinking about Robert "Paxton" McCulloch as...

In the early days I think you are right. More Recently I would say that the generic term "Supercharged" has been replaced by Forced Induction, Blown, or Boosted as a generic term. imo, When supercharged is mentioned on most sites it is taken to mean belt driven off of the...

my Rhino manual actually lists a version of it for the 504 Traction Force ( with adhesion coefficient being .84 and slip 15%) 17640 (N) Newtons so ~4000 lb force

Maybe if it was a transplanted Detroit 2 stroke

Actually I think the reeds? are working fine, but , if new ones are available will get them as well. I repaired a couple older Campbell Hausfeld piston pumps over the years and in both cases it was just oil pumping and slower pump up caused by worn rings. Pretty sure that is all the Ingersoll...

Something stupid that should never happen... decided to check antifreeze in all the rigs tractor coolant was low enough couldn't get a full pull on the gage. Topped up the rad with fresh Antifreeze and fired up the tractor to get the system hot and flowing so I could check it while that...

That block does not appear to be surfaced, by a real surfacing stone grinding or a fly cutter. The before rebuild shows a LOT of piston to wall clearance so the bores and or pistons were worn. The one cylinder shows a vertical scratch that should not be there with a fresh re bore...

Update on the Shell rebate , they are playing games with the wording. I bought 3 2.5 gallon jugs and they only rebated forty, of $60 If you want to maximize the rebate They only honor "2" container purchases So buy 5 gallon ones instead of smaller containers. rebate ends November 30th

This is all very new, hard to say if dismantlers are just accepting or paying but it sure sounds like no one is paying a hazardous waste disposal fee.

Oh OK Well when the Ford is finally dialed in It will be a pleasure to use. Old Fords are wonderful machines I Dare say equal to John Deere.or Kubota..:)

oh Oh Now I am confused when did the tooth off on the injection pump happen? on this new build or previous work? and they didn't torque the head and also do the bolts in a pattern and sequence it?

I Hope it is just the circlip slid on the driveline and allowing the coupler to slip off the splines an hour fix at most and then they clean up the little things get a better spring or new seat. and the other non major things. Plenty of people really like the TYM's if they get it fixed to...

I went back and re read posts and had missed your post 1061 . Taking that into consideration I concede. As for the strike and just my 2 cents. The unions have got what seems to be a very fair deal now. I hope they settle soon- before to much long term damage is done to the Big 3 and...

After reading your post and my comment on my somewhat tired over 35 year old IR pump I went down to the local HF store and sure enough their display model was never sold a 15.2 CFM @90 psi single stage pump and it was still in the clearance section so for under 80 bucks I just went ahead...

I may be mistaken but every Ford built tractor diesel ( not sure on all Shibauras) I have seen has been direct injected so no glow plugs.

Op I edited my post . Do you know if the valve seats were ground ? and by ground I do not mean just hand lapped. Hand lapping will not restore concentricity for a new valve and guide installation. the valve seats HAVE to be reground A suggestion if after firing up the engine and warming to...

I think a bunch of money may be going to Tesla to build out supercharger sites, which if the Gov is going to spend on charging facilities Tesla will get it done and in a hurry and keep their 99+ % Up time on their chargers Very Glad Electrify America did not get the big contract on this, may...

Well if they lubed everything up on assembly it could smoke for a bit, but after an hours run time the smoke should be gone. Chrome top rings can take some time to seat (Big fan of molly channel with Chrome rail compression rings) Oil pressure seams Low for a Ford tractor engine both my high...

My point was Performance in power on the first year cars. The GTO was a in a whole different Power class than the Mustang Mustang can take credit for the Pony car race. The GTO started the Muscle car era. A hard thing to do since GM banned anything making more than 1 hp per 10 LB...

Have to give that honor to the Pontiac GTO Not the Mustang . early stangs were secretary low HP cars. 289 was top dog With the 64 GTO you could get a Tri power 389 They did sell a lot of stangs .

or the government, why buy one when you can get two for twice as much Or better yet no bid Cost Plus is even better.

SpaceX made their case in front of congress. It was pointed out that further delays to launch approvals will hurt the US in the race getting back to the moon. testing is being slowed China is also planning moon missions Angry astronaut coverage and he makes good points about safety...

I would offer advice but that model is completely different than my 554 Rhino. Do you have a parts or operators manual? Some of the Rhinos like mine utilize individual pumps for operations . A pump for the power steering, a pump for the FEL and power beyond they are driven off of the...

I would worry about it being a demo model driven in 4 wheel drive on Pavement in circles by a previous inexperienced "prospective" buyer when the dealer was not watching, and sold as new Seriously doubt that , especially since the 494 is built like many CUTs that don't utilize u joints in...

Have done several horse burials over the years. I agree with above you very likely do not have a large enough tractor with enough FEL to move the animal. I did have to drag one by the neck once that was stuck in a barn stall. Pretty ugly scene if the horse owner is there as well. I have a...

On the Strike sure seems like the union leader is faring better than the people standing out in the cold.

Well Good news to report on the Quincy QT 54 at the local store There must have been a shortage because the newest ones are back to Baldor, they have both in stock now some with no name made in China motors and also the same Baldor motors like yours. Both marked at the same $1999 I guess...

You know i may do this with the ingersoll I noticed the local HF has that same pump head in the clearance section and it is now down under a $100 bucks. If I do- I won't modify the IR to where, with some more searching some new rings can be sourced. Already have a spare motor and So far...

Were you lucky and got one with the Baldor before they switched?

That is on steroids with anything alibaba. Ordered a motorcycle tire wheel adapter for my balancer guaranteed 12 day delivery. Paid 15 bucks in shipping for less than a lb. Seller shows shipped but no tracking is available. Finally shows up 32 days from when they were paid. Alibaba...

Most of their equipment is oil less which generally means a shorter life cycle , they claim 3000 hours where most oil less are around 500 hours

I also have an Ingersoll Rand 60 gallon compressor I bought in 1985 and it is still running well with a Century motor but It has a lot of hours and needs a filter or two because it pumps a little oil So for painting I need cleaner air. I would have bought another IR but they dropped parts...

I would guess a newer "but out of warranty" diesel with a CP 4 that self destructs would be right up there when first seeing the bill.

Yep, Tires has been my biggest expense across the board. oh wait there was this one Civic DX I bought after a gal took it off roading after having a bit much to drink. paid $650 for a less than 2 year old car with well under 30 K miles on it, and then spent 2k back when that was real money...

My nephew bought a new TYM with the Yanmar engine but took it back after less than 3 hours (and it was delivered with under 1 hour) because the hydro got Really loud... as in went from 70's on a db meter to mid nineties. Dealer was good about it and took the tractor back and refunded the...

I was going to buy the well regarded QT 54 but they dropped the Baldor motors and now just say made in china. Then they jacked the price up another 200 bucks. That caused me to buy a different compressor. Some Ads still show the Baldor motors. Not sure on the smaller Quincy's but I...

manicured lawn and skid steer?? I can just imagine what the lawn will look like after a few tight turns with a skid steer should he need it for other summer uses... Do not miss my New Holland SS, was thinking a bit larger for the Op like a cabbed JD 4 series and an inverted blower and keep...

That sounds like damage internally Was this a New tractor or a demo? The first post says 13 hours but then said 4 hours getting used to it, just wondering if the hours were all put on once you took delivery? Fluid is not the only problem.

WoW does That sound Fishy after my experience ordering the same product from them... At least I got my money back because of Paypal and ebay. My order disappeared in transit as well. At this point I am Glad because it prompted me to just buy a well used Industrial Backhoe and with what it...

I especially like the counter weight quote recommendation on the spec sheet Please add 5000-6500 lb to the rear of the tractor if not using the backhoe. So about one new 50 HP MFWD CUT with FEL Hah ha
