I'm in the same prickly situation with the Ford. All new tires rims and tubes. I kept having problems with the left front. Took it to a tire shop to fix after I patched the tube once. Brought it back home and it went flat overnight. Cost me $20 to lean not to go to that repair shop ever again. A...

See post #3. ;)

Thousands of them on the interweb. Try here but it looks like the going price is in the $1600 range. What's wrong with yours? Cracked? Apparently, there's a market for replacements.

More states could follow soon. Covered by Steve Lehto.

Maybe where you came from. I worked at my dad's gas station in 1967 while still in high school in San Antonio, Texas. I remember it being 18-19 cents a gallon. There were occasional "gas wars" that put the cost at 16 cents a gallon. Sometimes it went to 21 cents a gallon. Gas prices were set by...

Aw come on. My little Kenbota is 2wd with a loader and I can move yards of dry wood chips with it. :cool: It will lift about 700 pounds on the forks and it's useful for brush with the grapple. It will lift 800+ pounds on the forks, but it won't tilt it. I found that out when my chipper was...

In 2021 and 2022 dealers were buying any good used tractor because they couldn't get new stock. The prices of used tractors skyrocketed in a hurry. So now that new tractors are flowing in the supply chain, the prices have to surpass the used tractors once again because they're "new". The used...

This is the time of the year when fuel problems raise their ugly head. You may want to start there. Check the tank for slime or growth. Remove the line after the tank valve and see if it has full flow. Replace fuel filter(s), check air filters.

I have that same cart but I think I paid $19 for it new. That's how old it is. You must have added the tank shelf. At present, I have it topped with a plank of wood and a tool and die grinder on it. I had the kart you show in the first post. I didn't like it because the top shelf was angled...

Going off the gold standard allowed the US to print more money. It wasn't long after that the rest of the world followed. I can remember when gold was $35 an ounce. That's what I paid for some US gold coins. I sure wish I had those coins now. :ROFLMAO: Oil and gas is also used as currency...

I was doing the same at the police academy in the 70s. The only round not authorized was armor piercing. Even 50-cal was ok. Most all officers were still using revolvers back then except for sergeants and above or SWAT.

Even so, take control of the vehicle when you pay. There's a lot of dealers going face down with customer's money in their pocket and the vehicle still in the lot. Don't fall for the paperwork or make-ready delay. Take the paperwork and vehicle right then and there. Otherwise, walk away because...

Don't forget the $20/hr coffee makers and servers that got a forced raise. Starbucks was on the list too. I wonder why. :whistle:

It's already there Sunshine. It's part of the "allowed nutrients" your government says is ok. Just like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, tetra-whatevers and more. If you're reading this, you'll get by according to your government. Live long and prosper, if you can.

It's going to get worse. 20 "large" company stores are at or near bankruptcy. Who can afford the 25+% inflation markup coming out of COVID and the continuing 7-10% monthly. :rolleyes: Yea, yea, I know. The math wizards keep saying 3% but that doesn't include the real necessities or even real...

Really? You mean like peppermint? I always thought it was Methanol Alcohol. ;)

Weld the holes up and drill new ones to fit the new leading-edge holes.

People should be more concerned about Fentanyl. Enough can be transferred by simply touching a contaminated object to kill you. Also, enough comes across the southern border in one month to kill every man, women and child in the US. Where are you going to dump all that dirt? You're worried about...

That's where the knock sensors are on my GMC. :rolleyes: I've rebuilt many engines. Pulling the intake and valley pan is gravy. :ROFLMAO:

Just don't cheap-out on the scanner. Paying a little more can get you more options like real-time graphs and data streams. The newer scanners can do a lot more now for less than $300. Including printing to a Wi-Fi printer. A dealer may charge more than that just for one diagnostic service.

:ROFLMAO: I don't remember the model number, but that old grader seemed to take a football field to turn around. And it didn't have power steering. But it sure could push some dirt.

Gee, when I put my road in, I rented a road grader. Had it done in one day. The total length is also about 1500' with about a 10' elevation--Road to parking area. I did have to snake between a few trees but that worked out better. It allowed me to include water run offs. And if you've ever...

You should check with your state. Navigable waterways are the property of the state so says the Feds. And it doesn't need to be navigable all year. Most are open to the public and against the law to restrict access. In Texas a stream is public if it is "navigable in fact," "or navigable by...

600lb. ramp with a 1000lb load probably wouldn't work too well. It's a 1000lb load because the trailer weighs something and it's on the axle too. ;)

Are you talking about the skateboard style or a real 2-passenger scooter style? Unless it could travel at 65+mph, I'd get run over trying to get to my small town. o_O

Hard to find one down here amid all the taco jaliscos. :rolleyes:

BW wire goes to 19. BR wire goes to 17--The same as the glow plug lead. Make sure your glow plugs are working.

Don't run the engine until the freeze plug is replaced and the tractor is refilled with antifreeze. Hopefully, the block is not cracked.

On a 20-year-old machine, it's probably wiring or a bad safety switch. Could be as simple as corroded connectors. Some safety switches have to be making contact while others may need to be open. Disconnecting and reconnecting several times should clean the contacts. Try that on all the...

I was always told if you have to ask, you can't afford it. :ROFLMAO:

Welcome to the Forum! (y) I would tend to go with option A. Easy enough if you have the original tube--Just copy it. Do you have a manual for it? My 3910 has plugs on the side of the trans and rear cases. Remove the plug and fill until it runs out. To check, the trans has a dip stick, but...

I had some orange trees that were gaffed to some kind of citrus stock. That is until a hard freeze killed them. I thought they were dead, but the citrus stock regrew. The fruit is uneatable and the thorns on those things are good 3-4" and very pointed and hard. I found a bird empaled on one by a...

See post #79.

Yeah, my 1986 Ford 3910 has less than 50 hours on it. :ROFLMAO: But honestly, it didn't have a dash when I bought it. It did have an aftermarket hour meter someone stuck into a 2" hole they drilled into the rear panel. But you couldn't read the numbers on that. When I restored it, I put a new...

You can't mow cactus. That will spread it faster. I dig that stuff up by the roots. I tend to just live with the Mesquite by keeping them trimmed up off the ground where I need to mow and along the driveway. It's about the only shade we have down here. :rolleyes: Besides, it makes great...

:ROFLMAO: Reduce oil production and see how fast prices go up. I can't think of a single product that doesn't depend on oil at some point--Manufacturing through Delivery.

I believe the FDA "red tape" isn't red or voluminous enough. Just look at how many drugs are brought to market then within a year or two get pulled off the market because they're killing people. The last one was, I think, brain swelling. Just look at the documentation on some of the drugs. Many...

It wasn't the bailouts that caused inflation. It was caused by the new world order planned by the heads of state--No oil, no diesel, no gas and no food. If you want it, then you have to pay for it. Their plan is working. :cautious:

Apparently, RK24s have a wire and connector corrosion problem. This would affect the engine control module as well. You might try removing and reinstalling connectors several times to clean the contacts. If this works, go back to all the connectors apply some dielectric grease to them all.

Then be sure to vote in the next election. The entire country needs a "bailout".

Looks like early IH or Case. Not because of the color but because of the "bolt together" design and coulter mounting. IH stuff came in a crate and had to be assembled. Hundreds of nuts and bolts. Newer stuff is all welded except for the adjustable parts.

I did over a mile of fence with one of these, you lazy bum. :ROFLMAO:

True, but it's not free. The financing is just packed into the price.

Yep. Nothing new about electric cars except the type of battery. That was a time when gasoline was hard to come by. Looks like history is repeating itself.

If you've waited this long to file, it's a good bet you're not getting a refund. :ROFLMAO:

Could be the head gasket. They are well known for it. Do a search on "Kohler Command engine sucking oil".

I think it's the Exmark 96" that advertises that. Around $17 grand too. Might do that on a golf course but not on any land I own. Edit: That works out to about 10mph if cutting full width.

You'd be better off drilling flat steel stock and using bolts and nuts than trying to bend your own. As MB hints, bending All-Tread never ends well.

You don't mention how many hours are on the tractor or the year. The only adjustment to a clutch is pedal free play. If the free play is correct, then you need a new clutch. And most likely a new flywheel because you've probably trashed that too by running it while it's slipping. While you have...

I think he does. I gave him the shop manual for it to take home and look over. He spent over an hour going over the truck inside and out. He was grinning ear to ear. He's 16 now but doesn't have a driver's license yet. I think he said next month.

I just gave my great grandson my 81 Chevy C10 today. I hope he comes to pick it up soon. It will need a little work to get it going again. It's been sitting since 2016 but ran when parked. :whistle:

And less than half of that even care. :ROFLMAO:

Same here but 1986. I don't much care for their "register for rebate" program though. Every few months, it's a different business area like groceries, movies, gas and now travel. They tend to overlap but I don't keep track of it. That's probably why they do it that way.

There's nothing heavy duty about Y-blades. They don't like woody pulp or high and dry weeds. I have "heavier duty" spoon blades and have thrown a few of those off in woody brush but it will leave a lawn-cut look in typical light weeds and grass. I normally use my rotary mower the first cut of...

That "blowing air" light looks similar to my "clean air filter" light. Just a thought.

What Gator said. The only thing left is wiring or the switch. Better to test than to just throw parts at it.

Have a model number or photo? I did a quick search and found about 9-10 different models. :confused: Knowing the model, you can probably download a user/parts manual.

This is an old thread, but I sure hope the OP got someone else to build the ladder. :ROFLMAO:

Yeah, the blade bar is the backer for the pan and the mounts for the blades. Measure between the holes in the blade bar. When I bought my used Ford Rotary Mower, it didn't have a pan either. I never worried about it. If a stump is that high, the blades will hit it long before the pan gets...

Both of my ZT mowers handled very differently. My first was a Woods Mow'N Machine 1850 (Grasshopper). I still have it but one of the Eaton transmissions went on a permanent vacation. I really liked that mower because of the low front end and extended deck. I could get way under shrubs and...

VFDs are motor dependent. It's not likely you'll be able to have a single VFD for the shop because each motor will have different energy and load specs. However, 3ph motors can run from about 30hz up to 120hz. That's how you change the motor speed. I bought two when I first got my Mill. One was...

That's as funny as all get-out. :ROFLMAO: I like the spuing diesel MOX.

Here's the destructive power of the 22 Mag. Pencil hole going in but golf ball size going out and everything with it. The size changes within 1/2" of entry. Shown is a standard range clay block cut in half after.

PayPal only turned me off. :confused:

All the money goes to the same pocket from these Subsidiaries: Alamo Iron Works, Intsel Steel, R&S Steel Supply, Nexcoil Steel, General Steel, Maas-Hansen Steel, Metals, Inc., Arbor Metals, Shamrock Steel, Triple-S Steel and Triple-S Tube Supply.

Yeah, same here. Online Metals has always been high. I deal with Alamo Iron Works up in the big city. You have to buy full lengths, but they'll cut it in half if you ask. It's usually free but some stuff has a small charge. I bought an 8" I-Beam for my overhead gantry, and they gas cut that for...

Either I'm early or you're late. It's been 2023 in my part of the country for four months. :ROFLMAO: If it wasn't for the wildflowers, I'd already be mowing. Was hoping for more Bluebonnets last month but it didn't happen. :confused: I thought we had enough rain, but I guess not. The trees are...

Welcome to the Forum! (y) Without knowing more history about the problem, I would check the level of your hydraulic fluid. And be sure to run ALL cylinders through their limits.

As I said, I don't do Apple. Even if it was free.

Also, if you have a quick hitch, you'll want one longer. Perhaps with a locking valve as well. The locking valve keeps the cylinder in place and takes the load off your hose and valve. A locking valve will also allow you to disconnect a remote and use it for something else while the locked...

How much was the iPhone? You have to include at least one Apple product in the cost for a first timer. Worthless to me because I don't do Apple. :confused:

Makes the joints stronger. Doesn't do anything for the pipe/tubing. ;)

Copper pipe/tubbing is used all the time in refrigeration and air conditioning where the high side can regularly exceed 350psi. :whistle:

Yeah, if you're running that equipment there's a good chance you're farming a couple of sections or more. The seed and grain storage budget alone is probably more than your tractor(s) cost. In case you don't know, a section is 640ac. and is one square mile. There's a lot of section farmers in my...

Reusable ends are great if you're on somebody else's budget. Typically, a single end will cost more than a premade/ordered hose. I buy premade hoses from Surplus Center. They have great hose, and I can get it in less than a week. The shipping is reasonable as well.

Back in my racing days it was torque that got you there, but it was horsepower that kept you there. I mean first place, that is. :cool:

Is this for business or personal use?

Congratulations! Can't wait to see pics. (y) And what's really nice, that 112hp kicks in at 1500rpm. Not at a deafening screaming weeny.

I play Dominos (42 & Straight) and a few card games. I used to play chess too but it's hard to put together a group or find an opponent these days. I mostly play MS Solitaire now. The few free games I've downloaded are complete junk. I'd rather see a good movie or go shopping.

My "front yard" is about 15-18 acres. I mow that over two days most of the time but that's only about 6-7 hours of seat time. I'm old so I quit at lunch time. :D The only time I "turn around" is up in the scrub and trees or when I back into the corners. I typically cut the borders first with...

That's the reason I keep a ZTR. The Ford gets mowing duty for most everything else with a rotary and a flail. I'll be getting a ditch/bank mower shortly for some of my areas. I spent my allowance on chipper so I'm saving up for that. :D

Check your fluid level.

Item 23 in your parts book.

Yeah, 18AC and hills is out of the lawnmower range. And it looks like money is no object for you. I'd be moving to a tractor as Dude says. :cool:

I put the chains and turnbuckles back on my Ford. I got a pair of the sliding tube design, but they were either loose or too tight. The tube holes were never in the right place. The turnbuckles allow for precise adjustments. One thing, for sure, is that the forward mounts MUST be on the same...

Use your tractor more. :ROFLMAO:

See this thread for some ideas. :cool:

Love the old movies but hate B&W. I was just looking at a new OLED 4K TV yesterday. Man, those are sweet!

Not too bad. Chilly dry mornings in the 50s. But it's going to get into the 90s in May and 100s by June/July. I remember my days in Ohio--We sometimes got snow in June. Sorry, but I don't miss those days. ;)

It was 86 and sunny here yesterday. Went spring clothes shopping. :cool:

As LJ says, look for one that will work in its place.

Anything above one inch is a lot to ask for any flail mower. Review this video before buying any equipment.

Back when the farmer to the north of me was active (his family turned it into a turf farm) he had a pilot spraying his cotton. I was out in the barn working on something and had both south side doors open. There were massive amounts of Mud Dobers flying in and out of the barn. After a couple of...

Good information but I have no idea what you're talking about. :ROFLMAO: I was a lab assistant for my HS biology teacher during my junior and senior years. I stayed in the back equipment room except to disperse equipment and supplies to students for classes. The teacher used to bring the...

If I got something like that, it would be dumped. The only cheese I eat is Tillamook Sharp Chedder. And any milk over 2% makes me gag. I can even stand to look at cottage cheese or an empty glass of butter milk. Yuck!

My property has a county road on one side and a state highway at the front. Of course, the county road has a stop sign so it becomes a convenient dumping area while folks are stopped. What paper that doesn't get stopped by my fence, gets blown down the highway. The state does a pretty good job...

I recently (last year) replaced my old gas torches with a single small setup. I don't do much gas welding anymore. I mostly use it for heating and brazing. I'll have to rummage around the barn and see if I can find the old stuff and see if it's worth putting in a box. I remember the valves on my...

Can't help any more on the welder but just wanted to give a big(y) on the vise setup. I've got a similar setup for a tire changer in my barn floor.

Oh wow! And I was just looking at a Fire Tablet because they were on sale. I guess I'll stick with my old Samsung Tab E. I was looking for something faster when Amazon shoved the Fire Tablets in my face. The Tab E has been rock solid but it's so darn slow. Perhaps the newer Samsung tablets are...

Same here on my Mesquite. o_O

That would be a good price if it had a cab. Otherwise, it's overpriced. And what's that $105 for assembly about? More grabby while you can, I guess. I'd tell the dealer that's a deal breaker. That's supposed to be included from the factory.

I just had the left front tractor tire fixed. I remember not too long ago; it was $3.00 to fix a flat. It's now $15 and I gave the guy a $20 bill and said, "buy a coffee, if you can". :cautious:

I was in Yellowstone NP in 1987--The summer before the big fire in 88. We had a brand-new Toyota Truck-based motorhome. We went to the RV show in Indiana and ordered it there. That thing was small enough to go just about anywhere and we did. My only complaints with it were the small gas tank and...

You could be right about limp mode. I remember seeing SRS lights on the dash. Perhaps it wasn't just the SRS light. My experience is from the 90's when the book said to disconnect the battery positive and touch it to ground for 10 seconds. Then leave it disconnected while working on any sheet...

I don't think air bag circuits have a fuse. They used to be wired directly to battery power AND have a capacitor that will fire them in case the battery is damaged in a crash. You can't just disconnect them either. The computer will go into limp mode and restrict speed.

How do I turn it off? :rolleyes:

I would have backed the tractor off the trailer in that particular case. It looked like the guy had time to shut off the tractor and jump. Not too bright. I've seen trailers pop off the ball before as well. I would not use a trailer or ramps like that to haul a tractor. :rolleyes:

I think I would have done that on the second break. ;)

I see that occasionally when my router is flaking out--Loss of signal or a weak signal due to wind. My signal is radio based on a water tower about 2 miles away. Just reload the page.

I've been getting those as well as "your payment has been processed" or similar wording. I've also seen "your account has been suspended". Whatever you do, don't click on any links or attempt to unsubscribe. That will just confirm to them the email is valid and active. I use Thunderbird for...

If it has auto dig, the bucket moves out with the boom moving in, doesn't it? To keep the bucket at the set level? That would explain the leak in the bucket line when you're trying to move the boom.

I dodge a bullet with that storm here in South Texas. Had super high winds, hail and debris everywhere but electric stayed on. Just north of me folks weren't so lucky. Winds were clocked at 80+. All the windows in the house were rattling. I thought for sure I was in the middle of a tornado...

Except there were no Interstate Highways before 1956-57. The bill was signed by "Ike" in 1956. I can remember it taking three full days to get from Texas to Ohio. 4-lane roads were as rare as frog hair. My parents, 2-brothers, one baby sister and I traveled in a 1957 Plymouth station wagon to...

Now that's what I need. My implements are starting multiply and taking up too much space. (y)

I bought a set of wrenches from 1 3/8 to 3" that came in a roll. Nearly need a dolly to move them around. Somebody who can sew should be able to make one out of canvas. It's not rocket science.

3" cylinders seem pretty large for TNT. Make sure you have room for them. Are you going to be using 10,000Lb implements? o_O If you get the locking style, 2" is plenty. There used to be a guy on here that made TNT cylinders, but I think the backlog was 6-8 months. Might be a year now. You need...

Rotation is as viewed looking at the shaft end. Example: If your PTO rotates CW, your gear box input would rotate CCW. BUT- As noted above, you should work from how your blades cut then work back to the PTO. Not many rotary blades can be reversed if you get it wrong.

I was going to say 1.867 but it's hard to tell at the angle and no mention of accuracy. I do "bananas" not unviewable millihenries or whatever. ;)

You certainly have to strain it through your teeth, that's for sure. :D

You bet! There was a lot of testing in this area about 4-5 years ago. Many ground-shaking explosions for about a month or two. I waited for an offer to test my land, but none came. I think they had to stay away from the Edwards Aquifer. All those rigs in the Eagle Ford Play are visible at night...

It was a circus of errors that led to the Texas outage--Not just the ice storm. I camped for a week with nothing. No genset for an all-electric house and very little water pressure. The water company couldn't even pump water up into the towers. Had to keep warm and "cook" by burning chaffing...

I have the WM-68 as well and it's done everything I've asked. I chip mostly Mesquite, one of the hardest woods known to man, and I know going in the branches need to be singular. And I never had the chute clog but then, I've never tried to chip wet wood. I don't do logs over about 3-4" because I...

Buy the same tire so they match the original. Not all tires of the same "size" are the same size. If it doesn't matter, buy the cheapest tire NOT made with Chinese rubber. Chinese tires will last maybe a year, most likely not. One thing for sure, I've never seen them with a warranty longer than...

No, I'm in the blue area below the number 1 shown in Bexar County. I also missed out on the Edwards Aquifer by just over 1000 feet. :mad:

That barn is no shabby shack either. (y)

He, he, he. Yeah, I remember my days on the North Coast. We had snow in June. o_O

I can't see any of my neighbors except across the county road to the East--About 1/2-3/4 miles away. My house is mostly surrounded by trees so I can't see the front or to the West. My driveway is about 1/4 mile to the state highway where I have my address. The "neighborhood" is pretty nice here...

Yikes, I didn't have any restrictions when I moved here. The only deed incumbrance was if I drilled and struck oil, I had to share it with the seller. I kept all mineral rights. I put in the septic system, planted electric poles, put in water lines and put in a driveway. The only regulations I...

It's been chilly off and on here but for the most part, 50-60s at night and 70-80s during the day. The Ash trees have been leafing out for the last two weeks but they're always early. Mesquite trees are still "asleep" though. My front and side fields are showing ground level growth (wildflowers)...

I didn't say to shut it off if it begins to regen. I said don't let it idle for long periods. That's what causes the exhaust to accumulate more carbon and clog. Which will cause a regen. You're supposed to run them hard and hot when the regen starts--That's what I hear, I don't own one. A...

What does "on the HEF" mean? Are you talking about the beer? :cool: All my PWs are in a Roll-a-Dex sitting on my desk. All my PWs are different. ;)

It does sound like operator error. Most all those tractors need to be run near full throttle and run using the gears/HST to control speed. The PTO index mark is where it usually needs to run. If what you're doing makes it idle for more than a few minutes, turn it off. Restart when you're ready...

I didn't read through all the comments, but did anyone mention a clogged air filter?

Ohio Blizzard of 78. Air temperature of -40 and a wind chill of -100. I drove to work at the Cleveland Clinic from Euclid off Highland Rd. IH-90 was shut down, so I took Euclid Ave all the way in. Worst cold I've seen in my life. Not much traffic and I remember running a couple of red lights to...

I remember when we (mom and dad) got our first color TV. Howdy Doody, Captain Kangaroo, Sky King and later American Bandstand and nearly all cartoons were still black & white. In the evening, we looked for shows in TV Guide or the newspaper listings that had a star next to the listing. The star...

Ditto what Alex says. Instead of throwing parts at it, buy a meter or test light and follow the flow through the diagram. Most tractor systems use an expansion valve and easily clogged if you had a compressor failure. The expansion valve should be up on the evaporator (inside the cab).

Could be as simple as a loose wheel. Check the lug nuts.

Here's hoping you have many more years of trouble-free service.

I'm no engineer but I do know there's different grades of all-thread just like there's different grades of bolts. The stuff I buy from the hardware store is probably the equivalent to a grade-2 bolt. The difference is primarily stretch or elongation. I would not use that for critical jobs even...

I never quit. I got promoted. :ROFLMAO:

You'll catch up to the rest of us soon. I'm 72. I'm old enough to have had many careers including a Computer Professional. Not to mention a Mechanic, Deputy Sheriff and Farmer. I'm retired now. :ROFLMAO:

Mouse-over the location and click on it. That will bring up a Map and you can zoom out. I'm about 4 miles outside of Lytle, (pronounced "lye-til").

Howdy neighbor! Welcome to the forum. 👏

A .75L bottle of Seagram's 7 will last me about 6-8 months so I'm not a big drinker. I just like having a sip or two on some evenings. I missed it when I was on a particular medication after my new heart valve. I wasn't even allowed to look at alcohol. :ROFLMAO: I never have been a drinker...

Had the same here right next to the house--Within about 8 feet of the house. I cut the tree down a few weeks ago. Some of the bark was separating so I started to pull large chunks of it off. Imagine my surprise when huge yellow jackets and scorpions started falling out. It was kind of chilly, so...

I have an aftermarket panel for the asking/taking. I bought it before I restored my tractor, misplaced it, bought another one when I needed it then found it in a box of other parts I bought for the restoration. :confused:

I'm sure you know who to blame for the 100% increase.

Some idiot did that to mine before I bought it. I had to weld up the hole. :mad: That spot behind the dash and on top of the fuel tank is a favorite spot for wire eating critters. Pull the dash out and look behind it for eaten/shorted wires.

It's double that now. :cautious:

I cut about 2" off the front and rear plastic bells on the new chipper shaft so I could get at the releases. My primary tractor already has a flip-up guard. None of my other implement shafts even have shields. :cool:

Typically, it's to keep the filter media from being crushed when installed. It's cheaper to make them that way instead of a thick and glued design. I bet there's an inner filter used in there too. Does that mean you're going to leave the inner filter out for sake of restriction too? o_O

A few months ago, I had a flatbed 18-wheeler come up my driveway. The driver thought my dirt "road" was the way to my neighbor's turf business. I have about a 150' circular loop at the top he tried to navigate. He didn't get stuck, but he did take out some cactus and a few branches up and down...

Maybe the rod is out of place and holding it, or you didn't release the front guard. See this YouTube video.

I can't see it from here. Take it off and measure it. ;) Forgot to add: Make sure you get a gauge with the expected pressure in the middle of the range of the gauge. If you expect 2000psi, get a 4000psi gauge. It will be more accurate as well as safer.

Your driveway looks too narrow for a truck. If I was the driver, I would have left them curbside. :cool:

I went ahead and added a 12v digital tach even though the new dash has a tach. I wanted to verify the accuracy since my tach is driven by a cable. Come to find out. it's spot on. The push-on/push-off switch and the box are waterproof as is the sender. The sleeve on the output shaft has a magnet...

I watch him every week. Good machining skills and his equipment is huge. (y)

My 1986 Ford 3910 had a new CAV pump on it when I bought it. But it also had a brand-new engine rebuild. The tractor was used for highway mowing. I bought the Ford rotary mower at the same auction. I couldn't determine the total hours on it since it had a homemade dash, but a universal meter...

What Super Bowl? :cautious:

Those horses are $3-4k each, if you can find them. And you sure couldn't work them 4-5 days straight in South Texas. They'd be dead when it came time to bail. Besides, what are you going to do with them the rest of the year except maintain them and feed them. That reminds me, the Stock Show and...

No, throw the parents in jail for neglect. Planned Parenthood does enough to thin the gene pool. :rolleyes:

They aren't the original type. The original matches would light up if you threw them on a rock, pavement or a sidewalk. Or any hard surface for that matter. They sounded like cap pistol going off. The phosphorus tip was highly explosive. They could also light if you carried more than one in...

It was probably Chinese rubber. They haven't figured out how to make durable rubber yet. Buy your rubber products from Thailand, Korea or Vietnam. The US doesn't make much anymore.

They outlawed "strike anywhere" matches years ago. :rolleyes: In Thailand there's open holes in sidewalks and exposed electrical wires everywhere. If you don't look where you walk and you fall in a hole or die of electrocution, it's your tuff luck for being stupid. It's just natural...

It's only extra cost to you. For the manufacturer and dealers, it's savings since they can produce/handle less stock. I've got a shed full of NOS parts I picked up at an auction about 6 years ago. I still haven't inventoried all of it yet. :rolleyes:

I've got forks and I've got a grapple. There's been more than a few times I've had to run back to shed to change them out. That setup looks like it would work for me. Maybe I just need a bigger tractor. :)

The one from Tractor Supply show images with it attached to a QH. One comment said the person had trouble with the top pin though. I had that problem with my cutter but solved that by buying the extended top hook for the QH.

If push came to shove, I'd buy a smooth bore and a splined slip clutch and make one with halves of each. Then drill the tiller shaft for a bolt to align with the smooth bore side. Use a grade-8 bolt there and a ring clip on the end. Buy from the same manufacturer so the bolt holes are the same...

How do you tractor with a drink in both hands? :ROFLMAO: I carry my drinks in a soft insulated lunch bag. I attach it to one of my fender handles. I usually stop under a tree for a drink or two. It will hold up to six cans of ice-cold lime water.

20mm is about .030" larger than 3/4. It should have worked with a 3/4 pin. Are you sure you weren't trying to use a 7/8" pin?

Every application is going to be different. I think I'm using the 18-26 on mine. However, I have Quick Hitch and I'm using a Stirrup to connect the rod end to the QH. The stirrup allows a cutter to float. Here's a better picture of the stirrup.

Wow, they sure are piling on the extra charges. o_O Those are higher than a new automobile.

In case you folks have never noticed, hover over a posters location and click it. It brings up a Google Map indicating their location. That's if the poster has entered a location in their profile.

And pulling a trailer, I'm about 11 hours from DFW. :rolleyes: Still too far. Edit: Make that 14 hours if I have to go through Austin. :mad:

That would make it a Chickaune.

Then it's probably a leaky manifold. If it has the plastic intake manifold, then it's leaking. I had a Sears lawnmower that did that when it was a month old.

Too far away. :confused:

I also keep various taps on hand. Not only do I use those for dressing the holes, when necessary, but If I run into a situation like yours, I make it fit. ;)

Yeah, I can't keep track of all the colorful letters either. That seems to change often as well. I guess if you want to feel better than everyone else, you make up new group.

I live in the Coastal Plains of Texas. Around here, the soil changes about every 100 feet. :ROFLMAO:

Newborn, baby, toddler, dementia, handicap or retardation are all life's challenges I've been through. It's not a perfect world but we cope, adapt and recover. How you handle the challenges defines you. I hope my life never depends on some of you and others I have the greatest admiration for...

You'll only use draft control for ground engaging implements like a plow. It's used to maintain a depth or load in varying soil conditions. My Ford has two sensitivity positions and a lock position. The picture below shows the draft in the locked position (middle pin). The lower pin is the pivot.

That's why I buy the multipack "kits". I get about 100 of each SAE and Metric for about $10 a kit.

I dislike HMOs. I wouldn't go that route again. I had a bad experience with just a cut on my hand. I'm on straight Medicare A&B. My drug costs are about $50 a month for my arthritis. The quote I got from BCBS was around $3600 a year with a $3000 per year deductible. A few years ago, I had a...

You should deal with that hate with your siblings. Leave your mom out of it.

"Not for use on aluminum or magnesium alloys."

That's it. That's how you do it and I'd do it all over again.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with that white stuff anymore. I see your neighbor at about 3:30 mark. That would have been me with the snowblower way back when. I'm too old for that stuff now. We just had a winter blast with freezing rain. I stayed inside. :ROFLMAO:

When my dad was still with us (RIP), he had a stoma from back in the 50s and updated in the 80s. I had to deal with that for about a year, but it beat the alternative at the time. Love them while you can. (y)

Depends on the weight of the box blade and whether it's CAT1 or CAT2. (See above)

Appears to be a Branson TYM 4820H. Open station is ~3800lbs so it must be cabbed. 3 POINT HITCH 3 Point Hitch CAT I Lift capacity at lift link ends 3,306 lbs (1,500 kg) 3Point Hitch Lift Capacity @24″ behind lift point 2,425 lbs (1,100 kg)

Probably a bad fuel pump or the pulse line to the pump is leaking. Perhaps even an intake manifold air leak. B&S stands for Breaks and Scrap'em.

It ain't me--I'm just the messenger. :cautious:

My X had a 72-73 Ford Maverick when we got married in 78. I tow-barred it from Texas to Ohio with my new 77 Cutlass Supreme. All of her worldly possession were packed into that car. The car got a lot of looks but was a dog to drive--No power steering and no A/C. :confused:

I added an elbow and copper tubing to my 80-gallon shop tank when I set it in place. I put a valve on the end of that to drain it. Mine stays cracked open all the time so it's always draining, and I don't have to crawl around on the floor to open/close it. If yours is portable, just lay it...

I have a small one I use for cleaning carburetors and other small items. I use ultrasonic cleaning fluid. :) Which is typically whatever low-foam soap I have on hand or can find at the time. Usually, Simple Green but I have used car wash soap, windshield washer fluid and some yellow surface...

His wife must have really big feet. :cool: I never had to hide money. I always knew where it was. It was in her purse or the "cookie jar".

The only part allowing synchronization is the cross tube. Without that, the cylinders would move willy-nilly depending on the drag of the pins and cylinders. The power/pressure will take the path that's easier FIRST then balance if the weight is balanced. I'd like to see you lift something...

The cross tube is bent. I would try to bend the right side forward, but you need a way to lock/hold the left side while you bend the right side. The "easiest" way is as Rustyiron says--Cut the tube, time the sides then reweld.

I'd connect the hoses, leave the rod disconnected then cycle it end to end a few times. Then check your hydraulic oil level. This will also let you know how fast it's going to operate. You may want to adjust that if it's too fast. I sure like mine. I use it every time I change implements...
