It Looks like he has a Ford 3000 already, and when he gets a new tractor good chance if he hooks it to good sized ground engaging implement, he may be surprised to find that the old 40HP Ford will lug down and just keep pulling... where the New tractor will just keep losing RPM until it is...

From the Pics certainly look like the 2021 and earlier 1200CC Super's

It is going to take some time but I would hope that in the next ten years Battery tech will improve to the point that solid state or at least a much safer less fire prone battery will be the norm. At which point when the LI batteries no longer meet the 70% or so charge holding can be recycled...

Agree with all above, Very Good, tough, Long lived tractors with decent aftermarket parts support. Price sounds fair as well. If it is MFWD you are Outright stealing it! :)

Wow, Certainly does not appear to be mild steel, wonder if to much carbon or other materials were added. That break did not distort much and the grain structure of the inner tube almost looks like a casting that failed. For both pieces to break Crazy, Glad an accident didn't happen.

Welcome. G body on the track ?

Check my edit, Shell has a request feature for the rebate and it is good into November if the retail outlet is participating. Come to think of it I almost missed the rebate as well because they were not placed by the 2.5 gallon jugs. but then saw it by the 1 gallon jugs. Oh and yes, Real...

Just bought the exact same thing 3 2.5 gallon containers of T 6 - but they had the mail in coupons for 20 bucks back each So total of $120, once Shell sends the rebate back. Maybe you can still send in the rebate and get your $60 back, 5030...

White smoke after running for over an hour, And loss of power? When it starts smoking What does the white smoke smell like? Is it a Strong Unburned diesel smell or sickly sweet antifreeze smell? Temperature gauge stable the whole time? Any "missing" sound or hammering noise from the...

just for a new Yamaha T7 owner, the Seeker 3 just released

Just a little more but can do Aluminum without a spool gun. Has multiple pulse modes called a 220 amp model but it can pulse to around 300. HTP Pro Pulse 220 Really like mine. Fall sale right now for $1999

Wow 2025 Good to know that Resistance Isn't Futile... 18 years since the house, senate, and George B JR signed the real ID bill into law. At one time iianm They were going to enforce having real ID to enter a federal building as well. Unfortunately here our county clerk is housed in...

Cobbled one together when HF had a sale and made part of the base out of wood so I can set it up on the Rage 3s portable miter saw stand set up so longer pieces of steel can be supported when cutting. I still have to remove the HF portaband to use the supports for long pieces with the...

I think the aftermarket parts quality varies. Had good luck with Caber rings and a Meteor piston but was afraid to try no name ones. the oilers I tried- one good the another was unusable junk another was completely the wrong part and the seller had me send pics so I sent him shots of a...

I believe XYZ 123 in his just another junk chainsaw thread has built a few for sale and customers and they worked OK. I would give you a review myself - bought the Farmertec Stihl 660 Clone and 28 inch bar, but been so busy haven't had a chance to put it together yet to augment my Husky...

I Know which one will be more comfortable on a trip or just extended hours in the cab... How does the recline seat function work on the one in front?

Barrett Jacksons Scottsdale January auction was in excess of 190 million in sales for a single event. If a state thinks they can legislate out investment quality vehicles they will have a Real fight on their hands.

Whoops, misread what the OP posted already has a good Woods backhoe. Agree with others and for sure would want an FEL and MFWD other than that, many times bigger and more industrial ends up being less money than a newer SCUT or small utility tractor. Mountains of dirt and rock can mean...

Not so sure on VW... Could be related to word getting out about how poor and trouble prone all of the cars software is. Battery management software recall in process now and unless something major has changed it is Not like a Tesla where over the air update actually works. The ID...

Sorry to hear this. I made a similar mistake hiring a guy that I had seen a couple small jobs he had done and knew he and the crew he put together were out of work, a couple vets and a couple police officers that were also laid off, I thought this will work great. He convinced me he had 30...

Oh, by No means am I saying that is anywhere near the whole story . But, I do believe "domestically" refining plays a role in the price at the pump ( remember when ultra low Sulphur diesel was mandated) and as far as I know refining is solely under the control of for profit corporations...

While I agree their has been political pressure exertion against Oil ad gas in general, there are other factors like profitability for oil companies and especially small operators, many went broke and lost everything or were bought out by big fish and consolidated when they had to pay to get...

Or, it could make it easy for whoever controls the digital money system to make Any selected person Persona non grata overnight. At least with cash, a dystopian outcome is harder to make into reality.

Heck. I am surprised How much Tesla prices have dropped since we bought our Model Y's. With scale increases and more vertical integration every month at Tesla, my guess is they will continue to reduce prices except during initial releases of new models or refreshes. I was thinking...

Have you watched the stunts a T7 is capable of with an expert rider like Pol Tarres, the Seeker and Seeker 2 are great entertainment while waiting for the New T7

Are they dealing at all on the new T7's last I checked the only way to get one for MSRP was to drive across the country. Congrats on one heck of an Adventure bike. Please Post up pics of when you take delivery. ps. For now going to ride the z 900RS on the street and once/ "If" I get the 465...

The non control of intake air is not set in stone. RAM with Cummins added an intake throttle valve under ECU control on the newer 6.7's and as soon as they did, a market was created to remove them. Diesel air fuel running ratios are much wider than a gas engine. See shot at 1:50 for a...

It is also really Good exercise that also provides a sense of accomplishment at the same time, and I always say to family if there is a problem with the Quality of the tire work- we can only blame ourselves. :) ps, The best thing I did with my previous semi manual tire machine which had an...

The energy drink " borrowed" that from one of the original manufacturers of Nitrous kits in the 1980's "Nitrous Oxide Systems" now owned by Holley sure seems Close to the trademark.

Can't find the MFGR suggested retail price Wondering what Deere / PAPE is charging for this 74" hybrid model? Every ad says "Call for price" that I saw. I bought my standard style Inverted WIFO 84" last year, and it was about 8K but that was all in- with tax, shipping, hydraulic...

Looks Good found this since winter is a ways away, It worked well

That is where I am at with the old 465 YZ has an Answer muffler on it and is still WAY to loud, even with helmet on for me. I just bought a DB Killer for cheap and going to weld it on the end cap that keeps the packing in. Heck I wish it was as quiet as a loud Harley exhaust. No need...

I never look at the motor "rating", I go straight to the motor plate and look at the amps it pulls, and with the loses in a motor, it takes 10 amps to make one hp, and actually, I like to see 12 amps per hp, it you want a strong motor. Heck, I have a vacuum in my shop that says it's rated...

Generally agree,... I had two matching 5 HP 60 gallon single stage Ingersoll's. Never a problem of any kind, built in the early 1980's both sporting Century motors. Sold one and shouldn't have. Now starting to get back to painting a car or two since the local shops rates have gone...

Thanks . That looks like a great unit and also seems like the Hybrid inverted blower prices are finally coming down just a bit. Congrats on the new Hybrid Inverted Blower.

I don't get it, after reading their Walmart . com purchase section. I did an internet search for the type, size, and model of tires with "best price". Walmart . com pops up and has the best price. It has a ship to store / pick up at local store. I do that and pay on line at time of...

Had to look this one up, and if I am reading correctly: Is this a Meteor, US built blower sold as AgroTrend in Canada and is also the newer Hybrid pull behind design? From some pics I found the chute design looks different than some other Meteors. As requested above please post some...

Yeah, I don't know exactly what is going on between Walmart corporate and their stores, but the tire shop manager said that the Walmart online ordering is in no way affiliated with the local Walmart store and he is the manager and does Not have to honor Walmart's pickup in store online pricing...

That is almost as bad as the Michelin Pilot sports I will need when they wear out. Tire rack has them listed for $405.99 a piece, hard to believe a new R 1 14.9 x 28 6ply for the tractor is less. Whoops... just checked wow have tractor tires gone up now about $1400 delivered. BK had them 3...

By Leak repaired , do you mean like the rockshaft piston seals replaced? If the 3 point is lifted and tractor turned off does it stay up? Just wondering if it could be bad Rockshaft piston seals? They do fail at some point . My For 3000 needed to have them replaced as did my other...

Bought this balancer with the tire machine to save having to get the balancer later. I looked for a nice quality older bubble balancer first but everyone wanted about 1/2 of the electronic one. So far it has worked well except for one wheel that is bent with a fair wobble.

Yep never going back and do all my own tire changes. Really happy with the 988 rim clamp machine. New snow tires being mounted up for this next winter just putting in a TPS monitor. Machine also worked for my JD riding Mower wheels and my Tractors 8.3" x 20" front wheels tires. Best...

The worry is as was posted earlier. Reverse biasing the Alternator output since you are making the alternator case "+" and the Alternator + battery output terminal negative that can forward bias the diodes into into an avalanche current condition since instead of the stator windings output...

Restacked booster 9 and ship 25 . Elon's X post, Makes it sound like the only thing needed is a Federal launch approval. It does seem SpaceX is ready to launch. Booster should have a better chance of maintaining control this time. SpaceX dropped the hydraulic vector control...

Glad you are enjoying dirt bikes, It is nice to have to watch out less for the other guy (street riding) Yeah, both my brother and I were lucky our dad liked to ride and started us young. Brother was 5 and I was 6, We had a Yamaha 50 step through as a first shared bike. There is aSteve...

Public Service Announcement?? at the end being a Honda ad for the new Elsinores? :) Ahh that was after McQueen had been riding a few years and was "The" year Honda Broke the dirt bike world. 1973 with the 250 Elsinores. The 125 was front cover of Dirt bike Magazine and was a...

That T7 is also a bike I would Really like to have. No Crazy Pol Tarres ambitions at my age. I see he actually rode "this" on a T7 https://jalopnik.com/watch-pol-tarres-tear-through-the-erzbergrodeo-on-a-yam-1850602596

Just to double down on jmo. See my Post #2 of this thread. As i wrote, have no problem with Hydrogen for certain applications, just agree with Elon Musk concerning energy input versus output and the "cost" of high pressure hydrogen systems versus full electric vehicles. EV's have a way...

Really Interesting life story of Gwynne Shotwell and how she was tasked with Starship on top of the other SpaceX endeavors. Definitely one of the reasons and deserves credit for why SpaceX has been so successful. Additional coverage of other individuals that have and will continue to...

My 1st street bike was a similar year Suzuki GS 550 It was a fun small framed bike. ps. Spent a couple hours today working on the 465, washed out the plastic desert tank , aired up the tires, pulled the carb and cleaned out the main and Pilot jet, and made sure the needle and seat...

EPA They have been busy this week... They just fined Gorilla Performance a million dollars and the owner could be facing up to two years in jail. Was on their site a while back looking for a new exhaust for the Cummins on my 03 but they don't carry exhaust...

Nephew brought by the 465 He told me the Last time brother fired up the 465 He was in summer shorts, flip flops, No helmet wearing a t shirt with the sleeves torn off, first spring day after a long rain, pulled a wheelie for over a block on the old yz and it was still muddy out. Yep, that...

Yep I did, and would like to still have it. I lifted it about 2 inches and ran 32 x 11.5 mud tires and Rancho shocks on it. It had the 401 with the forged crank and rods I modded it with HEI, headers, 850 dbl pumper, Isky cam with Rhoads lifters. That AMC would wind and pull to 7000. We...

My best riding truck and By FAR was my 77 Jeep Honcho. I gave a friend a ride in the rough that was at the time selling new Nissans and the first thing he did was brace his hand on the ceiling to keep himself in the seat as we went through a major washout. After articulating through it...

Great SpaceX coverage with the firing video. States they throttled up to about 50%, so still more power than the Saturn V Musk states over a 1000 changes to the vehicle since last launch attempt. More speculation on a launch date. Indian Moon rover deployed

DOJ sues SpaceX. SpaceX Apparently blocked immigrants and refugees from being hired for jobs. SpaceX does handle military contracts. But from Astro Angry's video looks like they excluded qualified applicants welders cooks crane operators etc . The DOJ actively seeking people that feel...

Yes, Yes they did. I am sure that will buff out.

I tried the competitor ( Purple Horny) on the Ford 3000 diesel trying to quiet it down and swore it was on fire several times... then it was louder than the stock Ford muffler. SMH

I had use of one of the 454 trucks as well, a 1978 dually 4 speed flatbed Dad bought in new after about 40k miles and 10 years he talked me into painting it (farm use- door got caved in and other paint damage)... Shortly thereafter went to a new owner. It always Got just over 10 MPG...

Guilty, but Never cared for the "poppy" sound of the cherry bombs. Way Back in the day Liked the sound of a pair of real Corvair turbo mufflers on a large V8 and sound of Thrush mufflers though and still have "uncappable" Lake pipes after the Hooker Super Comp headers on one car.

Starship almost ready for another firing test of the 33 Raptor booster engines. India successfully lands Chandrayaan 3 in the south Pole region of the Moon. Quite an accomplishment and makes it clear, whether USA / NASA or private US based corporations do or don't pursue scientific...

Gee in that class give me a Ford 175 3 cylinder diesel making peak torque @1150 and maintaining over 100lb feet down to about 900 RPM OR Even the smaller 158 gas version, torque peak is 125 lb ft. @1350 RPM at least according to tractordata and depending on year of build

Yep, always at the tip end

Come to think of it I have never heard of or seen a failure of pallet forks yet. I have seen damaged distorted frames but no fork that straightened out or cracked. I will say those New Holland forks are extremely heavy to pick up and move right at my limit strength wise.

You Know, I did look at those and may even order a set. My 36 inchers are the real deal Factory 1970's New Holland and I Got 3 of them I stole them off of my NH L778 Skid steer before I sold it with just the bucket. I did stress test them and actually lifted a 2 stacked pallet of pellet...

My 02 cents. Pallet forks are different as far as how much stress is put on a 90 degree angle on a non reinforced piece of metal the fork. Bad place to have a catastrophic failure at the worst possible time. I am not talking brands since I do have one Titan implement a backhoe grapple

It is more than that. I have a set of 36" forks as well and some pallets 36" forks will Not engage the last cross board making the load unstable even if the FEL can safely lift far more.

Really Nice Work and Looks great too. Managed to recently hit a cast Iron sitting bench when moving large square bales with the FEL. Broke the whole side off. I had never tried the Hobart Nickel 55 sticks arc welding and gave it a shot. Not real pretty but so far we haven't...

SpaceX on track to launch 80% of ALL mass to space this year Starship. Hot staging test prototype ring installed, made from extra parts is now installed. According to Musk this could add another 10% mass to space as well by increasing efficiency since the booster can still be firing while...

Yeah, when bike tires hit a certain point they remind me of food that has been left out and turned... I don't do a lot of hard core corner carving on my bike and am just beginning to see the rear tire start to squaring off. I will keep those model Bridgestone's in mind. Think I read a...

Thanks. Yes, It has been a bad decade as far as losses - Family , Good friends, and pets. I Really hope we are done with that for a long time... As for the Road 5's I like them a lot, they stick like glue, Good in the rain and excellent as far as tracking. Just not a tire for...

I hope so, nephew and I still planning a second trip on the street legal bikes and visit and spread ashes at some of his favorite places. I will be riding the z900rs and nephew just picked up a KTM 1290 Adventure. I told him don't take us to far off hiway, those Road 5's are not real...

Yep, A MEMORANDUM of understanding is right up there with the average "Forward Looking Statement"

edit Should be picking up one of my old bikes shortly. I had 2 other identical bikes for a while. I bought it for my brother because it was a good deal and he was dirt-bike less at the time and he had raced motocross when we were in our teens. Sadly he passed right before New years. My...

Possible Planning for end of August launch, With lawsuits unresolved this should be interesting

Internet is hard to read sometimes but that was a joke I think :) Well the head is the widest part generally same rule for snow blowers, always make the blower width wider than the track width. Could be. Most combines I have seen are 2 wd. Usually cut when plants are grown and fields are...

One was advertised for sale on Spokane/ Coeur d' Alene Craigslist. it was a VERY similar looking one. Maybe this is more common than I thought. looking deeper this one appears to be out of Minnesota. Driving forward with a cab has got to be nice but it is still a 2 wheel drive. Sure...

Raptor V 3 (newest iteration) has broken all previous test records. Now achieving 350 bar or 269 tons of thrust. With the 33 engines at full power the next gen super heavy booster could be able to produce 19.5 million lb of thrust. This will dwarf the Saturn V thrust of 7.6 million lb...

As a Kid driving by Monfort's near Greeley Co. was pretty bad. I commented to my grandpa once about smells - he said I don't mind it, that generally is the smell of money being made son. The aroma of Tacoma- from the pulp and paper mill can be pretty unpleasant. I feel for the Op-...

Same price for diesel and 87 octane with ethanol here. If you want the Good stuff high octane No ethanol about a buck more than diesel.

I was asked to help looking for a decent used Wrangler for my grand daughter, and she must have had me look at 20 Face book and Craigslist ads. After about 5 found one I thought was OK, fairly priced and it had just posted . Told her to call and that we would come look as soon as "he" could...

Thought i would add this link. Probably not recommended or the hot set up, but color me impressed: a Stihl 261C with a muffler mod and stock version running a 32" bar.

Same for me, mainly older saws for now. Don't mind carbed saws. 2 modded husky 350's one open port one closed port, my main Go to's set up one with a 16" bar which I added a tooth up on the primary the other with an 18. I like them because they are a very light firewood saw and with...

OH YEAH. Super Heavy Water deluge / static fire 33 engine test. Seems to work but 4 engines shut down prematurely 2 second burn?

Yeah Rich built a model S that is a bit noisier than the factory ones... He put a GM LS V8 in it.

Yep, as a quick temporary fix, If the Rear tires are mismatched try elevating the pressure on the buckets low side and slightly lower the other Rear side pressure , may be able to get the bucket flat with just air pressure adjustment. Front tires will have no effect.

edit: You should have No trouble finding a buyer. That Should make a Great Dodge Heavy Duty for someone Willy 2003 are the Highly desirable first year "Unicorn" 3rd gen Common Rail Cummins with no emissions devices. One of the best Cummins years for MPG as well.

Have to agree Had an F 700 with the 361 what a dog. we started with a F250 with the 352 2 barrel - reliable as an anvil but gutless, put in a 390 four barrel T bird engine, MPG and power went up. Later had a long bed F 250 with a warmed over 460 and also a fairly stock dually Chev with the...

OP Congrats on the New Super Duty. is it still in warranty with those miles, or if not possible to buy an extended warranty that covers the CP4? If so it might be worth consideration for some extra protection long term.

Yep, there is room to shim in a few places if needed.

Those pics help, Yes not really pins but bolts . but how about some from more of a Macro view from say 10 feet directly in front with the FEL up and then with the bucket just off of the ground in a level area. Thanks ps. There is something different in those front guides compared to mine...

That is basically the newer version of what's on my tractor a Koyker K2 I would likely leave it if the bucket is level with the tires aired up evenly. The cross brace is substantial on these koykers hard to bend. It sounds like your issue is with being slightly displaced to the...

I am sure yours does ..... I was never trying to say that the spindles were not the failure cause on the mower you bought. I AM saying that is Not the root cause of my 4518 PTO clutch problem. As I said Even with the PTO 90 degree drive belt completely removed... Mine would still...

interestingly the same YT channel updated the last vid with this: lots of good data in this video

Yeah that was always standard recommended procedure with new imported China tractors.

Good Plan ordering early, I waited to order another inverted brand until August and missed the first few snows because of that. I think you will like the hybrid inverted

Like Grandpa used to say... This equipment has been giving me some static. Got to Make Hay when the sun is shining and Lets Get at it, we're burning daylight...

SURE Once those goats start destroying every thing in sight, there won't be a budget. :)

Why would Curt require the pin position to move 5 inches back? Talking about the trailers Pin position correct? As much as it is a pain to R and R the Reese Fiver - I do trust it Well other than the time I wasn't paying attention and put the forward mounting pins in the wrong holes...

This might be the lower power Benye parts manual Probably need the Operator manual for the wiring diagram...

4700lb to full height of 128" at the pin? Good Breakout force of 9800 lb. https://www.tractordata.com/backhoe-loader/000/2/0/203-ford-455-attachments.html

Ha Ha Yeah It is not a deck spindle problem Even with the 90 degree PTO Belt removed the problem persisted. Again The brake surface on the PTO clutch stays engaged while trying to spin up the PTO... That is Without a belt going to the deck being installed. My 4518 can sit. Glad you...

Sell it for parts? I have that same mower and out of Any of the riders over the years it has been without a doubt the Worst and By a margin. Maybe You can figure out the PTO clutch but i never did I tried adjusting it many different ways and no matter what it would try to kill the...

If it is like the 3000 and 550 and other Fords I have seen it goes into the intake manifold there should be a bung in the casting look closely on the 550 it is near the front side facing the water pump. ps How full was the can of starting fluid? As posted earlier this new stuff is not like...

Even if it needs work, aftermarket engine parts are pretty cheap and available compared to some other old brands and even some Ford /New Holland factory parts are reasonable.

Yep I still have one in the 1970 Golfster golf cart. The only hiccup has been the blankety blanc decompression spring need to replace it or for now just keep a really good battery in it. Good Old K 301 12HP with the CVT belt drive.

The more I think about it, I have come to the conclusion that not only are they the handiest machine, They are or can be the biggest Bargain in the machine world. I shudder when Looking at what a person gets for their money with new Rider lawn tractors SCUTs and CUT's. By the pound these old...

Right, with Hindsight I Really should have titled the thread Industrial TLBs

First I thought about a new lower cost rider , but just couldn't do it after looking at the build qulity and plastic parts use. We bought a ~800 hour JD X500 but paid a bit much at $2400 I did get manuals and filters and new blades for that price. have rolled up about 60 hours since then and...

Lets not Forget Ford offered Ether starting kits as factory options back when the 4500 was produced. Ford also made sure the pistons had steel ring land inserts which made them much tougher than some other brands. And No I don't use ether to start my diesels but the young man that...

Wow that is disappointing to hear I thought Yanmar had the regen thing nailed.

At one point even my Rhino 554 was a New Holland (in a way) since New Holland had a joint venture with STEC (Shanghai tractor engine company) when i did engine work all the boxes were SNH Shanghai New Holland parts. A lot of New Hollands were FIAT based tractors and before that...

Same here HN was the worst. When the little ATT Mobley became available it was a complete Game changer and dropped the Hughesnet. Finally was allowed to order the Starlink and it has been better than the Mobley with far fewer drop outs and faster speeds. -then again the Mobley is $23 a...

3025 E... I think the R models are cast iron and additionally iianm the D and R models have 8 lug rear axle hubs as well

Update well the hay is Home and my plan to use two tractors worked. Transported the Rhino to the hay field and then loaded 6 bales on per load using the Grapple by removing all but 4 round tines. Once home fired up the TLB and unloaded the trailer. Round Robin till the final trip...

Not sure on a Farm Pro but my Rhino started to have intermittent charging about 9 months ago . After manually applying power to the field wire it charged. I bought a generic 3 wire solid state " Chrysler" regulator. Literally has +12V key on a ground to tractor frame/ casting and the...

So are the air bubbles present when a "cold" engine start up takes place? If so then yeah sounds like a bad fuel line. My boat and that fuel line never smelled like gas but the line had to have microscopic perforations allowing air to enter guessing from old age. I have also...

Good Looking Cab tractor. Also like the nice TALL R1's on the front axle. Just another feature that seems to be harder and harder to find on New mfwd CUTs

most of my equipment has been used so far except the Inverted snow blower. Now that there is no US support for my old Rhino tractor as odd as it sounds I am thinking of buying one that has been parked for years due to electrical problems to keep as a parts tractor. Ran into a friend we...

I had a Volvo Penta Boat engine do that but it was caused by aged fuel line, The engine used a mechanical diaphragm style pump but had to draw through the tank one way valve which was in the front of the boat. Boat ran great for a few years but started seeing bubbles in the clear...

I think I will, Thanks

Wow I need to check into that since we have Farm Bureau as well. Just assumed tractors were not covered - unless you specifically insured them just like a car?

Well it was useful for me when they sent a trailer to pick about 20 3 x 4 x 8 hay bales that they did not realize were wet until after checking with a moisture meter. Glad my FEL could stack 2 high on a standard 5 foot tall semi trailer. Otherwise they would have to have roaded their...

Forget the Rivan as they went down the dumper. I think you are confusing Rivian with Lordstown. Odd... their stock is up and they beat there production guidance. The R1S is also now being produced and delivered for the large SUV market...

You might get a kick out of this video series on a Ford 555 by Captain Kleeman, he started out with the very inexpensive parked 555 and has been a learning journey with included mistakes along the way for him as well. My 550 has been as well. Good Luck and short of a destroyed block the...

well a 755 is a backhoe that could be factory on a Ford 550 TLB and the 3400 3500 4500 industrial One model had an even Bigger than the 755 backhoe, edit correction as posted later in thread by LD1 the 5500 Ford and 7500 TLB Ford made it interesting with the numbers since they also made...

maybe a 3400 Industrial or? not a 550 or 555- hood is wrong generator would be pre mid 1970s looks like a 4500 without a backhoe optioned possibly for a 3 point and PTO instead?? JAWAG

OP already found the problem just needs some linkage welded /fixed post 26 "The ball on the lower end of the lever arm that actually pushes the valve down has broken off, the backhoe can be operated with the cover plate off because the lever can be pulled further back , my torches are up on...

Rumor was Kia and Hyundai cheeped out on their early US imports and used just cast iron compression rings, unlike other corps engines that used chrome or chrome rail- moly filled compression rings. generally by 80k miles cast iron rings have worn to the point that an engine will fail a leak...

Ouch. Maybe just the camera angle Hopefully. That would have been done in compression with the pistons fully extended if it is bent -maybe an earlier bucket back dragging incident??

So TYM corporate said this is normal operation.?. Bet they rethink that after the dealer sent the pic of the rod... "it immediately starts moving really fast, then at about 1/5 of the way it slowed down almost to the stop, moving really slow with some hesitations on the way almost to the end...

Yep, to early to be a New Holland, Ford. Still a Very capable FEL tractor if a 535 industrial- considering even "flogged out" it will lift 4500lb to full height With some weight on the 3 point that tractor should do a lot of work even without 4 x 4. Welcome

Ship 25 had a successful 6 engine Raptor short ( few second) static test fire. Still using hydraulic thrust vector control Gimbaling engines for now.

There are tricks for some Aluminum thin welds I welded Aluminum foil together with my LOTOS "DC" TIG. Not even supposed to work but put 2 sheets in a Vice turn the TIG amps to minimum and move quickly down the sandwiched edge and it melded together with no holes. Once it is out of the...

Can't help but ask Oosik Is that Adams tractor in Spokane? I Do know they have been in business there since 1929 inquiring minds :)

I bought their extreme duty backhoe bucket thumb. Got it from a different seller for $300 instead of off their site at over $400 Stickers were still on it though, including part and stock number The Thumb is 36 inches long and matches the 24 inch wide bucket teeth perfectly. Thumb...

yep. With Kids around... far preferable to one jumping on and lowering the FEL by accident on another especially since It won't be moving "up" until that diesel engine is running.

Ha and here I thought only older RAM trucks lied on their MPG display. Wow, take an afternoon off for some fun out on the boat and get home open up the old TBN and it looks like all 4377 broke out on this thread. Never thought this thread would make the battery vehicles thread...

You have a point on where the most reliable info comes from. I can buy into the Tesla story, because they are a top down integrated company and design/engineer / build many of the the parts controls castings and sheetmetal stampings. I have owned one Toyota pick up it was rolled and after...

Thanks, I had a wheeled skid steer as well and Never liked it , Sold it. It would get into tight areas, but that bouncy ride, poor visibility and whining hydrostat. .. Don't miss it. Oh and Both the Ford 3000, Rhino 554, and 550 TLB would put the skid steer to shame pushing snow. Much...

We will see- but that is a double walled box tubed bucket top. Again this is an industrial TLB which was the reason I posted it. Not to many old TLBs with Quick attach FELs. but they do have plenty of lifting power which is why just adding a set up like this NEAT brand made some sense for...

That bucket is really beat up but it is the heavier industrial version of the two Ford offered back in the 70's for the 550. the bucket is 87" wide and weighs over 700 lb. I seriously doubt the bucket will give much. Ford always seemed to use hard steel back then. Seen lots of...

I only have one other bucket "add On" attachment and it was one of the first I bought.. Chain on Pallet Forks, but they did not also have the large thumbscrew bolts that also clamp to the bucket. They worked/ work Very well I used them on both my Rhino and Ford 3000 FELs and unloaded...

SpaceX surely has computer modeled it..??..

Ouch, That would not be good either.

That is interesting. My phone is 5G through Google contracts which is T mobile. The Tesla also has wireless not sure who provides service, but would not doubt Tesla will at some point integrate the Starlink system to the cars. We also have Verizon and there are major differences in when...

They must have fixed that. Here is my model Y losing cellular, didn't seem to care other than telling me we were in a cellular dead zone. Must have also streamed enough of the music playing into a buffer because the music never stopped either.

Yes a Successful Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly of the concrete base. I bet the ground shaking and sound of the launch would have been quite an experience for those actually around Boca Chica with all that power being expended. I would Love to see a launch, but driving there is a Long way.

I think Some get really serious about riding. They just ran a charity ride close to us. All were wearing uniforms and riding hard. Each their own. Some people buy Guns, some high performance cars, boats, tractors, tools. Variety is the Spice of Life That pedaling stuff is to...

Speed costs Money. How Fast do they want to Go? LOTS of Progress at Starbase The stage zero is being repaired at an impressive rate. Well on their way to launching the next Starship #25, " if " SpaceX can get launch approval. Lawsuits pending over the concrete excavation.

I will have to try that. Been overall happy with Dunkin original in a Keurig. On our third unit- since they seem to die every few years. Definitely matters how good of quality the coffee itself is before being brewed. Cant stand old coffee that has been in the pot more than an hour...

Seals arrived ordered 2 one on back order but only need one per side. Screwed up by not looking closer on disassembly. The outer hub assembly did have threaded holes with what I thought were alignment dowels. Instead of beating on it and prying to separate the hub... a couple correct...

Will do. I would have already tried it but have to move some things in the barn to access a full an " unopened " bale

Needed another tractor to move large square bales off of my trailer since we have been picking up and load hay with our own equipment in the growers field. Hoping this works as a way to unload my trailer instead of tying the load to a big stump putting the RAM in 4 low and dragging the...

That looked like a second gen Model S so maybe a 2016? I knew updates required either cell or wlan access. That cell service was required to use the car sucks . So at least from 2018 on Tesla vehicles go directly to phones through blue tooth for entry and use. Back up or valet would...

A couple points that bug me about some 1/2 ton trucks -talking when rated to tow 10K or above No half ton truck should be supplied with P rated tires with a door sticker that allows for towing over 10 K.... just seems wrong. Brakes may be upgraded on these new half tons but running flanged...

So much for Toyota not pursuing improved electric vehicles and staying with hydrogen. Unless someone finds a way to split hydrogen from water for almost nothing (like Stan Meyer may have) battery electric is the future. Maybe they do have a new proven highly efficient solid state battery...

Well the no big air compressor killed my inexpensive recommendation: the under 50 buck HF 2 quart pressure pot sprayer. On my second one after 20 years, they will spray any thickness/viscosity of paint and have a very wide pattern if needed, but a compressor is a must. Amazing amount of sq...

Cant find it now but remember way back in the 1980's (maybe it was from from 'Life in Hell') Cartoon is a circle of the earth with a single tree and man with axe in hand starting to swing caption: "I want to cut down the last tree on earth with my very own axe." We have pretty...

??? I Thought they were completely different companies Lordstown building the Endurance someday - boy was that misnamed if they never even made it into production. Rivian stock shows $15+ a share today up from yesterday.

Finally got the circlip out and then bearing and finally outer seal. Seal is 75mm x 100mm x 12 mm Seals ordered (1 spare) and will reassemble when they arrive. Not a bad job to do, just heavy parts and the arms aren't as strong as they used to be. Bearings are still smooth and...

tractor, backhoe, Grapple Good sized garage with concrete floor MIG, TIG, stick welders, 2 post 10k lift, metal lathe, Knee mill just one ... I can't do it.

Well just like there are wrecking yards for ICE there will be for electric vehicles. In 2023 Tesla will likely build over a million model Ys alone. Here is an example for comparison , Have owned 7 Pontiac GTOs of different years. All told Pontiac produced just over 1/2 a million GTOs in...

Over 70% of our area power is Hydro electric.

If it has the torque converter (No Clutch) shuttle shift the transmission fill is just to the left of the gear shift lever under the floor It should have a dip stick with markings attached to the threaded cap ps. a 555 started production in late 1978 IIANM the 550 was built between 75-78...

Depends on what is going on each day for me. Picking up hay is coming up soon I will stick with my Cummins powered HD trucks when hauling or needing the bed for large heavy items The Model Y for the rest when not cruising the hotrods, like days when the forest fire smoke rolls in so i...

Don't know of any stock Prius that can get to 60 MPH in 3.1 seconds. WoW the New Prius model is now much quicker than the old ones 10.5 seconds to 60 Now with a blistering 7.1 to 60 MPH time so still takes 4 seconds longer than a stock Model S

Tore into it today. Bearings look good as do ring and pinion. Hub was full of oil. After getting the flanged outer shaft out it does appear the outer seal is just no longer lip sealing well enough no tears I could see or feel. Still need to pull the inner circlip and remove the outer...

and a Counterpoint article written 4 days later. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/07/petrol-diesel-engines-technology-electric-cars

Would have got at this sooner but broke the swing chain pin PO installed much smaller than spec pin on 550 Ford and had to repair it first. Got the wheel off and tried for about 30 minutes with a good sized hammer and punch and the hub is still stuck. may be time for the BFH It is also...

I always found it amazing how the cracking process yields more Volume than what goes in. Battery reclamation for EVs is really taking off now and EV manufacturers like Tesla believe reclamation is cost competitive vs. mining for the raw materials. Hopefully the Salton Sea area can...

Locust Electric Vehicles Mmm...

Enjoyed several of GWT videos. The Inverted Snow blower ones definitely helped swing me towards buying a pull type blower. Although I ended up purchasing a different brand, found his content helpful. Like the positive attitude on the channel. Welcome Good Works Tractors

These last few posts made me think of some used electronics test equipment bought over the years when given a choice Mil Spec designation if it was listed. I don't know if the Military got long warranties on the equipment but it certainly was built with better components From memory...

Yep, I have decided to never own a CP 4 injected diesel either. Have to wonder if the engineer that found a way to make a replacement for the CP 3 was fired. eventually. The idea of using a non retained roller that also contaminates the fuel system and injectors when it wears or gets out...

Truck needed over $11000 in repairs Warranty came through, Good on Ford for that. He sold the truck back to the dealer where it broke down. Swears he will never own a CP 4 equipped diesel again Risk of expensive disaster is just to high

That video I linked seemed to be "that" nightmare scenario with a new Ford and CP 4. Also sounded like Ford might fight him on even doing a CP4 warranty on his truck. When his Ford truck broke down they Told him to move his trailer off their lot... 9 hour drive from home... Offered no...

Saw this "Fiat" product yesterday while shopping. What a beauty, bet it will get some work done.

WoW Very Very NICE! Yep, if going New everybody i have talked to says just go ahead and get the boat equipped with one or more of the new 4 stroke outboards. Especially a Good idea if used in salt water. On a used boat probably not a bad idea either. . Congrats the new...

It only has a 21 degree deadrise, so more of a 'semi" deep V it is a 1999 210 sundeck . A 2006 or newer 250 SLX with Arch, Wow now that would have been a Gorgeous lake boat to find but out of my price range

Looked at the design and some service videos. Another Volvo 280 would have been just fine for me but the engine and boats condition are also a big consideration. I was never crazy about the screw drive trim / lift on the Volvo though. I made the mistake of not checking out the earlier Apollo...

I hear ya, but when riding my bike am very vigilant at paying attention to everyone else. Those Festiva's did get really good mileage as well.

Hey Coobie did you end up with the Chaparral? If so how do you like it Is the Merc outdrive holding up well? Asking because I bit the Bullitt again and picked up an older but well cared for Sea Ray 210 with the Merc 305/5.0 and Alpha drive. Hopefully the Merc will hold up, but...

Years ago I bought one of those GEO Metros and fixed it up. One thing I can say about it is There is no comparison on being in any kind of accident in it versus any other vehicles owned over the years. That car was an absolute tin can and a death trap imo. I would much rather been...

With All the Above what amazes me is John Deere recognized again as one of the top fifty Community minded companies and admiration. https://www.deere.com/en/news/all-news/deere-recognized-among-50-most-community-minded-companies-2023/ Deere repeats as No. 1 most admired construction, farm...

Hope the new JD works out Good. Really thought about it but, i just couldn't bring myself to do it. we found a Good running used X 500 for a bit less than the New box store JDs. Been mowing the wheels off it and all I can say is it is a Great mower that I think has another 10 years or...

music wise a little more partial to this:

Right, SOP for full size TLB's No way I would try it with a 3 point mount backhoe on a utility or CUT.

When I was 12 ,My dad bought a new car a 4 speed Mazda RX 2. Mom and I took a trip to the big city about 85 miles away. On the way home Mom remarks this car is surging. i thought yeah it is a little. We were doing 70. I then looked at the tach and it was reading just over 7000...

I would one up that response and use "designed" instead. Same with the older Koyker's, Fords and they also run back to the rear axle. These new single vertical support per side are good looking but not near as strong as the old designs that run to the front engine / axle main mount...

Was given an old boat which ended up being more trouble than it was worth so saved the trailer and turned it into a flat bed utility trailer. Needed to get rid of the boat and knew trying to cut it up with a saws all was going to take a lot of time so had a patience my a-- I am going to...
