I used Yesterdays tractors for most of my 3000 parts orders. Messick's also has the Ford parts and parts breakdowns. this looks close. https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/Ford-3000_Headlight-Switch_C5NN11654A.html Congrats on the 3000 Beautiful Condition

Weird... Should be an AAM rear axle. Looks like it split the pinion housing portion forward. Have heard of Very few AAM rear axle problems. Mine is right at 150K as well with Cummins power. RAM is pleased with these axles enough to sign a contract through 2030 with AAM and they...

Moving forward on water cooling Flight termination tank test Engine testing 6 Raptors on ship 25 maybe this weekend Maybe a launch possibility with ship 24 or 25 Super Heavy Booster 7 or 11 possibly 6/15 - 12/15/23 Hopefully as a next flight window

probably seen this already but lots of info pulling 5000+ into the hills with a GX 460

That is not always true in tractor engines. I can't find it now but Nebraska tractor tests at one time had both the gas and diesel Ford 3000 engines graphed and the gas had torque number which extended about 150 RPM Lower down to around 800 RPM IIRC a quote from yesterdays tractors: If...

I had a Hard time with my K2 FEL cylinders. They are screw in Aluminum gland ends . Had to use heat. bang around the circumference, and even used an air chisel plus building a gripping tool. That sounds like a different style of cylinder . K2s are threaded.

Right up there with a Menzi Muck used in a different application

Same deal for me needs to be the "universal" fluid with an actual 10W- 30 rating. Summer is no problem, but in the winter the pump screams for quite a while if I just run the j 20c

Well after 30 years of use guess it was inevitable. The Rhino 554 front axle needs attention Seal seems to have failed on the left outer bearing hub. It is a hybrid design, because the outer main hub shaft bearing can be greased from center of the wheel hub. The rest of the axle...

Actually after re thinking that... a full size backhoe would work OK I guess just pull up along parallel to the ditch pull forward and put the hoe boom at a 90 and then work back a few feet less than the 90 degree and then rinse and repeat. with the ex I suppose a guy could get a virtually...

I Think you Got a Great deal on that 555A Looks like you got the clam shell bucket and the extend a hoe. ps I could see a big advantage for the mini on that long cleanout trench job if you can't straddle the width with a regular backhoe. that 360 degree rotation of the mini will pay off when...

The 575E weighs a LOT more @14-16K lbs. Impressive FEL lift of 7000 lb and strong backhoe hydraulics even with the extend a hoe bucket force of almost 12k lbs. Nice jack of All trades, since It can also plow and that FEL lifting power can be very nice to have as well.

Yeah kind of doubt the Cat 2 reference on any BX tractor. Cat 2 is generally reserved for 3 point implements that weigh over 1000 lbs. I run 3 different Cat 2 implements and wider is always better as long as the 3 point arms don't contact the rear tires. The pin diameters are also larger...

I thought on GN it depended on whether you are working with a short or long bed and It is fifth wheels that are mostly pin on axle center line? Or maybe I am thinking of some companies actually putting the GN mount behind the rear axle which just seems like a bad idea

That's the route I went heavy... bought an offshore 1 inch drive but man is it heavy at over 45lbs. Taking the lug nuts off the backhoe was a breeze where my Aircat 1178VXL couldn't budge them. May have to get a Thor , That 1 inch drive is also long and it won't fit many places. The...

Same here, Both JD and the LS / Yanmar dealer are overflowing. Starting to look similar to new car and truck dealer inventories. A lot of the small banks are reducing lending now as well.

I remember those days in Phoenix. Be walking out of a store into a large parking lot and hear a window shattering from the heat. But its a dry heat :) River rafting the Salmon River or jet boat up the Snake and Hells Canyon was fun for us. Hardcore guys below

Your member id says 110 HP tractor, what do you already own? Parts on older models china tractors can be hard to find now. Can only speak for the New Holland /Shanghai Rhino machines which only cover 50-75 HP. Mine is 30 years old this year. It has been a really Good machine...

When I needed the backhoe they did not have any close sales that fit the time window. Family have bought a couple through Richie Bros. JD 550G LT dozer and Bobcat T 250. Some Grapples as well. Actually ended up being Good equipment on those buys. We have bought from the more local...

OK that is Fair. That does Not change the Fact that Kubota (at least in some engine sizes) absolutely demands and specs a specific Turbo piston if used in their engines utilizing a turbo, even if it is possible Kubota uses lower boost than what your kit "may.". If the engine were vetted on...

Received our Residential? kit and we have been getting between 130-168 on the download when run on a 5G phone. It drops into the 30-40s when run back to back on my old laptop. So I guess wlan in my laptop is old and slow and just limits speeds.

Thanks . Sold the boat maybe the new owner has that lock figured out. Some people had trouble with the screw drive lift, mine worked OK. I do Know some Penta parts were pricey. Locally way more service places for the Mercs.

Me neither. 21 inch wheels on my new Tesla Y 35 aspect ratio.... It handles great but so does my TA with 50 series tires on 15" wheels. This has the large calipers but there is no reason an 18" wheel could not be used and people do switch to them from these 21's. I think...

I have never been able to completely buy that short side wall to make a car handle explanation, because of Indy car tires and wheels which are close to a 60 series aspect ratio and run on 15" wheels.

Yes Exactly. The tire wheel combo on the car I am buying needs to go from 21" wheels to either an 18 or 19 inch diameter wheel and could lose around an inch in width of the wheel and increasing the aspect ratio from 35 to 40 or even 45 and then checking overall tire diameter to fit...

Right actually the second number is the aspect ratio dividing a tire's height off the rim by its width. a higher aspect ratio would be welcome as well.

edit Oops I posted the response without checking.. wrong thread Carry on.

says 1.6 ton weight. It probably works out like buying the electric mini truck by the time you receive it and pay for all of the add ons to spec it out and shipping fees, it will be over 10k

That is how my Nephew felt about his, He said he could have waited and ordered/got the New model, but just liked the version of the older design Tremor Ranger. We also thought Ford had the interior "just right" as well. Front grille treatment on the new model is an improvement.? .

Really Really Sorry for your Loss Willy. My deepest condolences.

Yeah, Until they do things like lift your 1 ton 4x4 diesel on the running boards or pound the trim rings on your muscle car denting the stainless steel or over torque your lug nuts - by using an impact and then just putting a torque wrench on the lugs but none turn or you have four new...

If buying the Bad Boy versions, doesn't that lock you into TYM-Branson lighter/ smaller units ie. 10-15 series? No 20 series tractors?

my 2 cents When testing/dynoing engines Torque is measured. It can be "calculated" as above, but starts out as a measurement. The amount of force applied at a distance- the twisting force. 1lb foot is 1lb of force applied 1 foot away from the axis of the shaft. Some tractor owners (All...

Hope you do get The Case 580. 2 sizes of buckets will be nice as well. Old backhoe tires can look really bad and still work for years more. If the problem is no lugs left and needing traction chains might do the trick, but sure are pricey lately.

Yikes. Sorry to hear that . Hope things improve. Been blessed on healing with my femur at least as far as infection or bad swelling.

Wow you actually welded Aluminum 1/4" with a 120 Volt MIG. That's impressive I guess with the pre heat it is possible. Played around with My HTP MTS 220 (240VAC) and Aluminum in the Pulse mode. It actually does a decent job on 1/8-1/4 no preheat with an 8 foot whip, teflon liner, 5356...

Sounds more like the PTO engagement is to violent if it breaks the shear bolt at idle with no snow on application of the PTO. Is that tractor equipped with a switch type PTO engagement? There are times a foot operated PTO clutch is an advantage.

Geez That Poor Massey. They deserved that result .

Rear tires possibly slipping on the rims?? Mark the wheel and tire. see if the line moves on either side. It is sometimes hard to see this problem when actually driving the tractor.

Only online. Even a Green one. https://www.greentractortalk.com/attachments/134d6b0e-0153-40d8-9878-47396124cd05-jpg.525666/

I fell on the Ice and broke mine on the Jan 12th, convinced myself, it was a REALLY bad sprain and held off calling 911 14 hours by then any movement was excruciating. That was a Bad decision. In ER on Friday the 13th and they did surgery the next morning. My best wishes for the OPs...

YEP here is a Good one Go Chuck Norris Almost a dead ringer for my TA, same color and exactly the same interior.

Yep, actually Dave's ad is still up, but I think the price increased a bit? now $20950 for the Hydro but it does include the 2200lb capable FEL and is a 4000LB machine.

Add in the industrial backhoes ability to lift around a ton with a chain from the backhoe bucket and its ability to place it wherever wanted as well. With all the rock digging being proposed an older "good" working TLB sounds like a perfect fit. Until a new prospective buyer that has not...

That right th That right there is a big reason I ordered a new Tesla. I really dislike arguing and pulling out hair trying to nail down a "fair" deal with a dealer. I hope the daughter does not have to go through more headaches when the final deal is being done. Good that she told them...

In that size class Dave's tractor had Brand new Branson 2515Rs for ~18k a few weeks back

This may not help but when refilling the ps system I generally only run it till it pukes fluid Just went through similar symptoms on the Ford 550 TLB when changing the hydraulic Ram line fitting seals. I let it sit for an hour or two refill again rinse and repeat, all the return line mixed in...

Hi Walt, With chains the hybrid R4's should provide Lots of traction. If the distance from the PTO to blower input on your Mahindra is similar to my tractor you will have to shorten the PTO shaft. It was a bit of a shame on mine since I had to cut enough off[part of the shaft, that...

The price on the WIFO Inverted is more than competitive with some other brands from what I could find. The specs and weight is what sold me. But after it arrived, was even more impressed with the actual build quality. Could be mistaken- but am not aware of another Inverted in this size...

Wow never seen a single cylinder version. Looks like a Neat project. Hopefully a TBN member has some info. Good Luck on the new machine.

The chute on the WIFO It is tall. I caught mine on some pine tree branches. Here is a pic the rear tires on the tractor are 14.9 x 28 R1's.

Good info, I hope this Blower really works well for you as it is doing for me. Looked up my gear speeds for my tractor and as I posted- light, fresh snow up to around 4" to a bit more was tackled in 4th gear. Heavier, wetter, and or deeper required the lower gears. In fourth with...

So his tractor is on the heavy side of a kubota M 7060 not exactly a "weinie" I will concede the 7060 has quite a bit more power at the PTO Tractorbynet is mainly geared to CUTs and IIANM started as a predominately Kubota site There is Always a Bigger tractor out there. For whatever...

Just thought of a couple other things. If the Mahindra will rev a bit higher it should throw the snow farther than my tractor... I was running about 1600 RPM in the vid. It is where my engine is happiest So under 540 RPM. Also the large 27" x 10 " deep Impeller is very precision built...

I think your tractor will as well. First your tractor is about the same size, weight, ( both our tractors are around 5500lb before adding a loader.) Tall R1 tire size which helps, little smaller displacement engine But same HP Plus a Turbo AND you have 12 gears to choose from as well. We...

Well I have the 84 inch pull behind WIFO on my 30 year old 55 HP Chinese Rhino tractor. Actually almost 87" to the outside edges I think either size would work for you. So far Very impressed with the Quality . Nice welds heavy duty construction, Large auger and impeller. It Runs Smooth and...

I Like Bel-Ray's MC 1 racing synthetic and Cenex non ethanol Premium mixed at 45 : 1 Almost 50 years using it. Think I read somewhere that they make Husky's XP oil but can't find anything now. Runs clean and smells "Good" also has octane boost.

Ouch is right. The rabies shots maybe? changed since the old days I guess. Didn't they have to inject into the stomach area repeatedly.? Heard that was a very painful process.

yeah don't forget the wonderful ride quality either. One of my friends was a Datsun/ Nissan salesman back in the mid 80's. We went four wheeling in my 77 Jeep Honcho and were about to get into the rough stuff. He instinctively put his arm up and braced it against the ceiling. J10 fully...

She lost count at over 40 shots... https://www.krem.com/article/news/local/idaho/north-idaho-skier-fights-off-coyote-schweitzer/293-553f01a8-51b8-4257-9101-cdb2ff522be3#:~:text=SANDPOINT%2C%20Idaho%20%E2%80%94%20Sofia%20Montalbano%20attends,while%20skiing%20on%20the%20mountain.

So if you want to buy new green you will need lots of green.?

oosik did you see the local TV news about Schweitzer MT. A Girl skier was chased down the cat track and caught her when she crashed into a tree well hole. The Coyote bit her repeatedly. She had to have all the Rabbies shots and others. Speculation is somebody has been feeding them.... and...

Ok finally found the manual, I conflated a couple things and am in error. under 1% sulfur reduce oil change interval The part I got backwards The use of fuel with sulfur content above 1.3% is not recommended This 550 did have a CAV injection pump failure just before i bought it and was...

That was the Only gas powered Rig I almost went with,.... A newish fully optioned Grand Cherokee, or even an SRT-8. Will Always be a Fan of the Grand Cherokees and even Nice condition Old Wagoneer's

It seems between the tax break shenanigans and Tesla ready to build almost 2 million vehicles this year, Dropping 13.5 K off of the price on Model Ys will light the fire under other EV makers that are trying to maximize the sales prices. Impatiently waiting for my delivery date. One thing...

I do not believe I said 1975? I did say 550. So possibly 1978. Manual is not where I thought it was. As soon as I locate it, will post what the reference is in the operators manual.

I do know that some of the Ford tractor operator manuals specifically warn against using ULSD . My 550 TLB for sure. EDIT what i posted above is incorrect. I always dump in a bit of 2 stroke oil and usually a bit of Howes into every 5 gallon can on my tractors.

If the shaft that drives the auger chain has a shear bolt I would remove it as well. Should help isolate the output side of the 90 degree box. Good Luck, here is hoping the box has not failed.

We bought an 18 x 30 kit. had it rated for 55lb snow load and 150 MPH winds. It came in two pacs. The sheetmetal roofing was around 1200lb and the framing pac was just over 1700 lb IIRC

After reading that they could sell CUTs in Nebraska, just surprised to see they still have not moved forward dealer wise in all these years.

Interesting . Does that mean Mahindra will be selling tractors and have dealerships in Nebraska? Years back I went on their dealer listing site and it had a picture of Nebraska with a different color for the state showing No dealers. Actually seems they still don't...

Right HP to me means rate of work that can be done over time. Just a calculation Torque being the resultant moment of force applied at a distance or basically its measured twisting force. On the Saturn V 7.6 million lbf seems to convey more meaning than the HP That said can't wait to...

Given equal rated HP engines for a tractor I will chose the one with Lower RPM for the same rated HP. That means a Higher actual Measured torque. Which generally is the heavier weight, Larger physical dimension engine which has a heavier crankshaft, pistons, and rods. IMO these newer...

He did so much, but for me, if he had never worked a day before or after Blade Runner, I would be eternally grateful just for that project. Agree I was hooked on his music after Blade Runner I didn't hear he had passed until they were playing a tribute at the Very end of 2022 for all lost...

WELL I Had a bad evening on the 12th. Took a trip into Wally world for some things before closing time. Got home an d parked 1/2 way over the old ice sheet it had created under it. Made one trip into the house and went back to get some more Forgot about the sheet ice on the right side of...

Mine isn't a thumb but as a grapple was integrated yet allows unbolting and removal 4 bolts 640146

My 3000 (175 ci) had a Simms inline, My 550 (201ci) has the CAV distributor type. Both 3 cylinder Ford diesels. Ford definitely used both types on the 3 cylinder diesels.

Been thinking of Converting my Ford TLB to Bob tach but at almost 5K of FEL lift and 8000 lb of breakout force may/will? need to source a heavier duty version of the latch boxes than the 3/8" inexpensive widely available ones.

Antra are not to expensive and have 4 sensors fast switching. They have very good ratings for the price and feedback is good on amazon. i am considering replacing my 7 year old Antra AH 6 260 with an AH 7 860 model Mainly for a larger window, but it has worked well for TIG MIG stick and plasma...

Those are good questions, Back in the early 1980's I helped set up and designed some control and switching circuitry for a micro hydro for friend. He had over 150 feet of drop but State limited year around flow. The state granted a specific amount of GPM that could be taken from the creek...

Yeah I don't trust Carfax anymore . My niece was looking at a newer used RAM 1500 and wanted my opinion , said get the CARFAX. She did and it said clean, no reported repairs or accidents. When actually checked it out in person the truck bed was not sitting level. Got under the front end and...

Not that brand exactly, But a very similar one. Converted my "fast attach" Bucket, Grapple, and pallet forks to Bob Tach. The price definitely goes up if it is custom tailored to a specific tractor . Also jumps up when it needs to be strong enough for 4000lb and up rating. So far...

Not sure on the Koyker 80, but on the K2 K3 and 200 +series FELs they designed the FEL to Tie into the rear axle with heavy supports, a large cross support in the middle where the FEL uprights are and then forward running supports that mount at the front of the tractor. At least with This...

Some manufacturers have "load, payload, or cargo" included on the decal

The thing that unnerves me with towing wide trailers or equipment in the past was narrow 2 lane, bridges, roads with no pull off space with on coming traffic and single lane road "work" areas. Otherwise not a huge deal, but reminds me of the saying Hours of boredom punctuated by moments of...

edit, Sorry crossed up posts.

A Bit bigger than a Mini ex at 25000+ lb. Moving it will cost some coin as well. Almost into a 312 CAT size of machine. Should be able to do some real work and quickly. easily cover the tasks: -log transport/loading with sawmill -stump removal -drainage ditch maintenance -road maintenance...

edit We hauled my 550 with a 2015 2500 SRW Hemi Ram. Have a 3500 with Cummins but at the time was only set up for my 10k fifth wheel tilt utility trailer which was to narrow at 83 inches backhoe front wheels are 90"+ and not rated for over a 10K load. So not up to the backhoe job. I thought...

Same here Twice one with the Ford 3000 FEL and one with the Rhino. I did Over pressure a hydraulic line when digging, pushing with the bucket valve centered and "popped" the line. Part of the reason for having a full size backhoe now. It can be done , but an involved time consuming digging...

Have to think financing interest rates jumping up due to the FED raising what the prime is based on is part of the equation. That and how devalued the dollar has been pushing up MFGR prices. Was looking at Branson's new 2515 when the dealers were first ordering them was quoted 16k with FEL...

Didn't Kubota in the early US sales years require their tractors to be able to dig a hole with the FEL deep enough to drive the tractor "under" ground level and then drive out and then fill the hole in. Could have sworn I saw an ad or something in their literature many years ago.?
