I have never in my life seen someone drive on a trailer loading several pallets. Be sure to video all that. I think you may be fixing to get famous. You had better block the back of that trailer if driving on. If your truck is in park or in gear, and you pick rear end of truck up, rear...

I've made it 53 years and never had a puff.

When did the coroner come into existence? As compared to sheriff. I done been through a drug task force set up by Clinton. Sheriff was exposing it. Saw him get arrested. Coroner wouldn't touch it. They used state troopers. Sheriff is also a preacher. Still alive and well. No time in jail...

Officer discretion is the term. It is used all the time. Federal law say you can't smoke dope. You can smoke dope in many states. Don't understand that one either.

I worked on multiplied thousands of two strokes and still have no fondness for them. Get some starting fluid, black top, not red top, and spray in exhaust if you have one that won't hit off. Just a quick shot, spark plugs are important too. I had two new plugs and it ran completely different...

No, when you are given permission for this by the sheriff, his say so goes. In the constitution no federal agency can be in any county or parish without the permission of the sheriff. Sheriff is highest elected official of each county. Your oath is to uphold the constitution.

Take the side off and see what it looks like inside. May need an oil shower sprayed in there. May have a broke spring. Governor stuck. Need to have a look see.

We check the oil in our injector pumps every time we bale hay. Every time before we use them hard for an extended period. From what I just read, you folks need to be checking yours. Just like checking engine oil, that often. I know, I sound crazy, but we ain't never had injection pump...

Okay I just looked at your pictures. Put an end wrench on that hex part. You can use a Big doctor crescent on it if you don't have an end wrench. I would hit the wrench with a rubber hammer. In the direction to screw it off, right hand threads. Righty tighty lefty loosie. Engine runs left...

A lot of that kind of stuff I would put it all back together but leave the crank bolt a little loose. Go out and use it a bit. It will get loose. I've taken a lot of those off and the drive pulley is just sandwiched between clutch and shoulder on crank. I worked at a big landscape place that...

I twist up a paper towel, light it, stick in sparker hole, whoof, and excess fuel is gone.

You can't put that pedal back in same position without splitting ttractor? Surely there are some empty bolt holes you can fabricate something.

No because the maker of the rules can choose who has to follow the rules. Same deal as a policeman can let you go or write you a ticket.

I always get myself a couple of bolts that fit rear of engine. Let's say 4" long. Cut the heads off. Hacksaw straight down in the bolt to make it so where you can use a flat head screwdriver to remove it. Put those two bolt shanks into Engine for line up pins. I know it has short dowel pins...

No want to use the auger?

Nope, they use out of country companies because they don't have to follow our rules. See it all the time. Mainly Chinese, Australians, Ukrainian. Talked with two fresh Ukrainian guys last week. One of them had only been here three weeks, other one a little longer. Spoke enough English we...

Beings I have driveshafts that are well over 50 years old, no, I don't think they would stock them.

AR I'm in Arkansas by the Haynesville shale. No they don't have to go by our rules.

Around here, lots of oil wells. When I was young, we could ride oil well roads all over. We could all go to a location, build a fire, visit. Now I know just one company drilled 613 more Wells. At times you could throw a rock from one rig to another. But a lot of them were from out of...

Take bolts loose. Undo snap rings.

Yes but it clears up on a flat area. Head gasket be smoking all the time, hard start, this one starts fine and clears up.

Most auto parts has a help center of packaged items that say HELP. Should be able to find one.

I don't understand the injection pump problems. Tractors around here are from early 90's back to 1958. Never any injection pump problems. I'd be sure it's not a cam sensor, fuel shut off, variable pump timing, I have fooled with straight up old junk all my life and never had a pump rebuilt...

Free market. My favorite commercial was for Masculine Itch Cream. It was really a Sprint commercial, anyone remember? A collect call from Bob Haveababyitsaboy? They can drop the tampon commercials. But, if they pay the most, let them have at it, it's a free market economy. I don't even...

Could be from being on a steep surface and your internals are actually hitting the oil. Could be tilting enough to block off crankcase breather. A steep grade will add to the overfill situation. It will eventually foul the plug when you kill on the hill to restart. I'm sure somewhere you can...

When those two banks recently failed, those accounts were only insured to 250k per FDIC. But, the govt took care of all the funds. Which means they printed more money, which diluted your money. Like adding water to paint in Tom Sawyer, diluting for whitewash. One day they can come out and...

We had them bobcat zero turns. They had a hydraulic pump and a separate hydraulic motor on each wheel, not a drive unit like homeowner mowers. 34 hp Kawasaki engines. So much power you could Pop wheelies with them on good traction surfaces. I never tried to cut that much but have no doubt...

Maybe because the lightning in the sky gave all the DOD brass to china at that time. So they weren't in the buying market for a while. So that would collapse the price.

I don't think I have ever owned a piece of gold. I had a gold colored Timex once, but it probably wasnt real at $ 14.99 surely not. Wait, I did find an old pocket watch once, but I gave it away. Found a silver dollar once. It was minted in New Orleans, gave it away too. So I guess my...

Just stop by a machine shop and cut a piece of cold roll.

By not using the cheapest, most affordable energy available, I don't see how we can effectively compete. I heard last night that Saudi Arabia is moving away from the Petro dollar. It is forecasted to take three years. Be prepared for a down hill ride.

Previously that was good thinking, I even thought that way too. But previously is not here anymore.

If I had a pile of gold or a pallet of cash and I was very open about it, then it all collapses. Which one would cause a group of armed men showing up here to get it? I do believe brass will be the value. You can get anything you want with it. Trade it or even give it to unexpectant...

Yes but the fed reserve is humming along printing the way out of debt. Income tax since then. Your grands turned in 20 dollar gold pieces for 20:dollar bills. Now it takes 70-80 20 dollar bills to buy that same 20 dollar gold piece back. All your silver money ain't silver, your copper money...

It has been, and I don't keep up with prices of precious metals. Most value I ever held is probably copper. Had a bunch of monell once but they paid me for stainless.

Don't tell me you think things have gotten better the last few years.

How much govt subsidies are involved? I know they pay oil companies here to change out huge engines on oil rigs. The owners told me.

Heard of stratospheric aerosol injection ? I don't see why we are so concerned about environmental issues that are creating our own demise. China, India, Russia, no concerns what so ever. They were our competition but now we are not even a contender. It's all fun and games until the Saudis...

Oh no, ive had many meals out of homemade pots. I didn't know they were so dangerous. I can't wait to use my completely homemade soup pot. Made it at work. Fried fish almost every weekend in a big pot made out of a piece of pipeline. Gosh I'm in the danger zone. Cooked over an open fire...

I think you have gotten used to it. Mountainous islands of plastic floating in the oceans. Piles of plastic in India, one of them green tingly feeling recycle programs. Heck, the recycle truck never comes by anymore. I guess it's just easier to cash the check. Top it all off, liberal...

I'm gonna do what I want on my property and I'm gonna tell you what you can do on yours too....

Yep, if I put springs over axles it raises seven inches. If I flip axles over it raises me eight inches. If I put straight axles with springs under, it just raises four inches, so that's my best option. Plus, them old axles have hydraulic brakes that have never been connected. Still has...

I also add, I think my springs have seven leaves. With axles above springs. So the flat plate and u bolt nuts are lower than rim edge. Grinds them u bolts every time. I carry extra u bolts, spring, shackles, all for just in case. High lift jack. I jacked that trailer up once with a one ton...

Thank you for your reply. Another thing to watch is the location of the tie bolt in a replacement spring. I saw some fellows not check that. They figured it out, but it was after the truck and trailer was upside down at the bottom of a high levy. I was a lead fitter building drilling rigs...

That is exactly the kind I torched off and welded a ssqa to. Still have the torched off pieces laying here. Two hook brackets on top and two pins on bottom. Converted all six tractors to ssqa. They were all different, they all the same now. But you were talking ssqa, I must have missed tractor.

A big zero turn mower is advertised to cut 9 acres per hour. It will hack that brush. I have done it. But people still clench their bush hogs.

I saw something last week, and since you have done identified yourself as having knowledge in this area, here goes... I saw a trailer, helped them with a flat. Trailer had three axles, 8 lug, with three individual sets of slipper springs, no equalizers. Is there any problem with that? I...

Also another trailer problem. My dad bought one with a tractor decades ago. Do not like it. I bought it from him in 99. It was built in a shop, built well, all steel, 16' bumper pull, 7'2" between wheels, or inside side rails. That thing was a swervy monster sometimes. Ended up being the...

Yeah, they should throw scratch under the panels and raise free range chickens. Then they can get tingly feelings of wholesomeness when they eat the eggs, full circle. Unless they are vegetarian, then they can operate as a chicken shelter. Really it's a tax break deal.

A skid steer quick attach is a skid steer quick attach. We have dear John, Kubota, bobact, they all swap around with each other.

I always made a wooden trough that fit the top of blocks. 4' long and top flared out. I'd have concrete truck drive around perimeter and pour the blocks to just above slab top grade. Once you pop your grade line, you can go around with 18" or so rebar pieces and stick them through foam and...

I know all about hide boats. I know that nobody wants to admit that Clovis points trace back to Brittany France, because that is 19,000 to 26,000 years ago. It will mess up their land/ice bridge theory about native Americans coming here 12,000 years ago. But, if you go to town and grab 100...

If you had an old pto winch...

Green wood dry sticks.

Sounds good. It just don't get that cold down here. We do have northern Pike. People here call them jackfish. They have teeth and small bones in the meat. I've only had them fried, being cut into french fry size pieces before frying. I've caught them three feet long. Never caught a small...

Just like deer hunting. It's all fun until one of the kids kills one...

I'm close in SW Arkansas. Get a 50-75 horse 4x4 and you'll be happy. There was a nice Ford 3930 in dekalb for sale while back. It was 4x4 too.

I could get into that.

Up there in your neck of the woods it may be fine. Down here, we barely have winter and tons of summer. Valentine's day we usually plant the garden. October frost is occasional, but rare. Usually too hot to deer hunt in mid November. The last house I built, the owner used foam but he just...

He can build the walls out of 2x4 and bypass his posts. On true metal buildings I put two batts plus the vinyl insulation already on building. Have wall out until wall surface just slips behind flange on I beam. Some want hidden beams so I bring wall out to bypass beams. I use 9" batts when...

I will use bubble wrap all day long every day. Foam held moisture, caused mold and dry rot when around wood. Caused rust out on metal buildings. My brother was on that foam kick when we built his shop. 80 x 80 x 26' tall. I showed him the info, he stepped off that train. Sure, the people...

Do y'all cut a hole in the ice and hook them in the ice hole ? I've never been ice fishing.

I get online to keep circulation going.

Had them for years. An EFCO is not safe in any pawn shop if I happen to go in there. Excellent saws. Not echo, they are EFCO.

New Orleans is fine, but once you make one step out of the tourist area, you are in the ghetto. Northern California is fine. Nashville is fine. Grand Canyon is good. Swamps, used to be snakes and alligators were the only problem. Now a 20' python is the problem. I always hated exotic...

Twice I have personally seen it taken out from under a house and then replace all the floor joists. Caused them to dry rot. Ive seen it have to come down from metal buildings too. Caused too much rust, held moisture.

I live in the US and if I never see California again, I will be happy. I helped someone move out there one time. I didn't even go out, so crowded. Ate light bread sandwiches a couple of days and caught a plane back to Shreveport, headed a couple hours north back home. I stay out of Louisiana...

I can handle any ICF questions. I've built big ole monsters with ICF. Three story 10,000 sq ft was my biggest. Ten foot down was my deepest. Add in radiant floor heat and a colored slab with wet set blocks and I pulled it off perfectly, down in that 10' hole, 5,000 sq ft slab. No pump...

Never had a problem with it. I put it on all the time and have for a long time. That's a fine example of hear say.

I've seen just as much spray foam taken out as I have seen put in.

I don't think ICF is any more expensive. Built several structures with them. That 60 dollar light bill compared to a 300 dollar light bill is where they outshine the rest. Not to mention tornado and hurricane resistance. One 16" by 48" block is the same as six cinder blocks. I been laying...

You are fine as long as two vapor barriers aren't against each other. I've built things with extra insulation behind the metal building insulation. Have each vapor barrier facing toward inside building. Put double batts above ceiling tiles below vinyl insulation. Did walls too. Over 20...

There is a lot of difference between a fresh hide and a piece of leather. You are on a sinking ship.

Are you pouring footing and then slab ? Or slab and footing at once? Yes, either way full perimeter footing. Either way I would break it into two 24x48 sections with a piece of keyway. That slab will crack if you don't. Use re mat and not just fiber. Okay re mat and fiber, re mat only is...

One of them gas tractors will bush hog circles around a diesel. I'd take either or both.9. When the diesel goofs, spending money. Gas goofs, maybe a carb kit.

Now we have to add a course on making leather. Well over 99% can't make any. Plus you have to pull pump tube and succer rod.

He was talking grid down. No spare parts available. So the simplest with less parts.

Just makes you a landowner.

Of initial investment.

Glad you feel like you have say so over someone else's property. Individual property rights. If you don't want anything there, you should have bought the property. But, you didn't, and now are belly aching about what they are going to do with it. That's real American of you.

Rubber strap.

Too many sealing thingys to deal with in a grid down. Bucket and rope is the simplest way to get water from a deep hole in the ground. Right now, buckets, check valves, rope, pulleys, are available. I've never dug a well. I have drilled them with only a pipe wrench to turn the bit, water...

Motorized things aren't there in a grid down situation. Just a power outage, yes you can have motorized things. We are talking grid down, not outage.

Power outage and grid down are two different things.

So you've never seen a Ford or Dodge trade in at a Chevy dealer?

Pipe thread yes, moreso that you can get it apart in future. If it has O ring boss or JIC, NO sealant is needed. Dude has to be old for pipe threads.

I am the professional. I'm the one they call.

When things went down here, no pump at any gas station worked. You seem to be stuck on being out of power a few hours. He is talking grid down. Before the sickness, the lead time was 18 months on a big transformer. Their grid will be down also, where transformers are made. If I have some...

Has to be sure not 24 volt also.

He's talking grid down. Toting a thousand gallons of water is no fun. Lot easier to take clothes to a creek. Get clean drinkable water from a well. It takes a lot of water to wash a week of clothes. Then add other people and their week of clothes, more water. He can gutter his house and...

Yes, like on a skid steer. Open, close for boom circuits.

Like he said, only had seen two button type. So, if he'd only ever seen two button, one button may throw him.

I don't know all them scientific terms. Though my method was scientifically figured out.

I'm cheap but I'd spend a little more for a lot more torque. I'm all about spending good money.

Yes, but he's wanting to get away from dragging air around.

I have pulled a 600' well with a homemade three pipe Derrick, two pipe wrenches, come along, pulley. I know what it's all about. I have drilled Wells. Him having that clean water for drinking will be precious. He can get other water from somewheres else. I like clean drinking water. Just...

If grid goes down, pull the pump because it is useless. Get some 3" and make a few well buckets. Get a good greaseable pulley, not a flea market special, but a good oilfield type. Set you up a place to fasten it above well. Get you a few 300' ropes NOW. Local stores usually have 50' of big...

We have six tractors with liquid in the tires. Bigger than yours, we run 13 in rear. As long as yours stand up good, should be fine at 8 psi.

Them Mahindras will pull anything you tie them to.

The top link is flexible because it has chain going on out to the tail wheel. You can easily bend that strap straight if it bothers you. At least it's bent up so it will never get into drive shaft. That 300-400 dollar price, I've seen comparable go for 650, new ones are high = old ones go...

The crimp machine was given to us because it didn't work. I fixed it for my brother. We still will buy a hose. We don't make every hose we need. An auto parts store makes hoses, but it's high, like 150 dollars. Hydraulic shop does the same hose 40 dollars cash. Guess where I go. But it's...

Yes. My uncle was very picky about that. He never married after Vietnam. Had a woman for a long time and she died. Kept her ashes in his glove box. Lived in a tent. Every night two stray tom cats and four coons would get in that little tent with him. Hed sit out under a sycamore tree in a...

Ifn' ize you, I'd wet set them blocks in the footing. Lay them until just above top finish grade of slab. Then I'd pour the first blocks full of Crete directly out of truck. Pop chalk line around inside and pour away. You can tie wall to slab with rebar. Tie block to footer with rebar. I...

Yep, you have to hit it with the intent of cutting it in two. No weak sister type axe swinging will be tolerated.

My equipment had those fittings when I bought it.

I would get some metal, made out of steel, cut off wheels for a grinder. You can also get a metal blade for a skil saw that is steel itself. Run it in a miter saw. Don't use abrasive blades because hose pinches easy and the abrasive blade will come pay you a visit.

My dad has been using pvc pipe for well over 25 years. Pipe is under pressure all day every day. My brother bought some roll out thin wall pipe that I installed for him. All the Tees and Ells were compression fittings. I promise you I had never seen such before. It may have been aluminum...

My uncle always cut it with a very sharp axe. Double edge axe.

Dang you must have your own hunting TV show with all that woods work to do.

One goes to water pump or very near it. Other goes into block. Should be a plug near water pump you replace it with a hose barb. Have to be near water pump to get circulation. You can even put a valve in it to turn off in summer. Route your hoses safely. Those engines are fun to take out...

But you can smoke dope in some states when federal law says it's illegal...

I fill big excavators that are way higher than my fuel tank. I have two hoses put together for length.

I'm from Louisiana and live 20 miles north of the border region. Saw my first tire chains in 1972. I have those four chains here now. Our logging equipment has chains but we don't use them. More for mud than ice. But, it snows here often enough. Last time was 18" and it shut this place...

3500 lb axles? My main use trailer has 7,000 lb axles and it's a 16' bumper pull. If you want a project, build a couple of 14' trailers with let down ramp on rear, single axle. Those sell to the side by side crowd. Or, you could get a used trailer with trailer house axles and swap yours in...

If that frame is over 1/8" thick I'll be surprised. We have a 30' camper frame. Welded some 18" uprights and put a pipe on top of those. We leave it in the pasture over winter and put round bales in it. Then we move it to another place when we fill it again. We leave rings in the barn and...

I wouldn't build one. I have a stack of 6x6 x 3/8" angle. Axles everywhere. Hitches, springs, u bolts. Welder and torch. Not interested in building a trailer. Too many can be bought around here. I may extend mine to 20' 3" one day. I hauled a Dodge super cab Cummins and it barely fit...

Then take your belt off and go see dear Jon. Measure theirs against yours. Buy theirs and stop by parts house on way home and give them factory belt and buy the one they have that fits it. It ain't rocket science.

I was in the military as a field medic in the Gulf War. All our medicines and IV meds also were expired by many years. Use the additive.

From what I hear, them Mahindra tractors will pull on anything you tie on to.

Maybe just take the cylinder to a hydraulic shop. They will dig through a pile of zip lok bagged crap and get you fixed up. I take mine apart first. He matches parts. Charges me forty dollars. I put together. Now, if you go the parts route, you can buy them forty dollar parts for three...

Zip loc bag and a rubber band. Put a little stick vertical to let it vent. Ran them for years that way. You can get fancy and use a hose clamp. You can buy a pipe test plug at a hardware store. It's a rubber cap with a hose clamp on it. Used for head pressure on drain lines. I have them to...

Yes but we bought some other mineral brake fluid that stayed way better.

I don't know. I just replaced them for someone that bought the lines somewhere.

You have to label them. Put duct tape on one and remember you marked inside line or outside. On rear end the lines are held in by the plate you removed. It's just a pipe stub with an o ring that pulls straight forward toward front axle. Just replaced a set. Same problem. Lines rubbed.

Coil? Coil makes fire. Distributor distributes it. Coil could be bad. Ohm it and see.

Dip in oil.

Call the parts department, they sell parts at the parts department. If it's one of the mineral oil brake fluid, they leak. Best thing we did was buy anything but New Holland brake fluid. Works a lot better with non NH fluid.

Have you made sure the small wire to distributor is hot, had voltage? The coil has voltage? Your distributor hasn't moved out of time? Which I don't know if you have front or side distributor. Side will turn.

I was thinking of buying the yellow plastic chain, used for personnel barriers, and just making my own. Seems the plastic is cheaper.

My uncle made 6" pumps for the oilfield to pump out reserve pits on drilling locations. All were built with just a torch, welder, measuring tape, chalk, just basic tools. I've seen him pump out a 15 acre pond that the drain was not working, so needed replacing. It took a week to pump it out...

Dang, this sticker on this trailer says that when it's fully loaded it is more than my tractor will pull.

First take an idiot light and make sure you have an energized start wire from ignition switch. If you do, check all (I personally bypass) all the safety switches. I don't know anything about your tractor. But most newer ones have PTO, neutral, maybe clutch or shuttle, seat switches. You can...

They go fast enough for pulling logs. Speed is not your friend when dragging things that can hang up.

Well, since he never mentioned electric, and wanted hydraulic, he was probably going to end up with one anyway. My brother was wanting a winch to put on that grapple. I said nope, you want one for a wrecker. He found one I think in Texas. Also have a Farmi. I'd been on his case for a while...

We bought winches for tow trucks and been using for years now. Hydraulic winch for a wrecker. I don't think it was any more expensive, if not cheaper, than electric. We made the fairlead, factory style did not hold up.

Hydraulic not electric, he never mentioned electric.

That letter reeks of scam. Money gram through wal mart works. Too much to transfer? Send some every day until paid. I just sold a machine and was paid that way. Cheaper than western Union by a long shot. I have used it several times. Not pay pal because they can decide they don't want it...

I don't have a squirrel coat. It's a regular thing to see drivers with a few squirrel tails on their radio antennas. I never did. I went in one guy's house, a black fella. He had a pile of squirrel tails waist high in the corner of his living room. I was there buying a 71 Ford pickup body...

I have a regular cab. Brother does. Neighbor does. In fact, he has a swb reg cab 4x4 Ford and it be looking right, bone stock. But I'll wait to ask about it until it gets 300-400 thousand miles so it will be in my price range. I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole. Remember...

OBD won't work on a tractor. On road vehicles have a uniform plug in for OBD 2. Off road each manufacturer has their own equipment. So you can't plug a Dear John scan tool into an International. But, I can plug my Ford scanner into a Toyota, Mazda, GMC, Lincoln, Cadillac, whatever.

It's hydraulic oil. Replace both sides on the seals, each side of tractor.

I have three cranes. One of them lifts 30,000# 70 feet high. Everything on it is a non crimp field fitting. Other two cranes are smaller and have field fittings also. So I'm fine with screw on field fittings.

If it Sparks, I weld. Period. I have a lot older machines, never thought about taking apart. I mean older than what you got. Like a 1956 Forney, I can still perform with it.

Yeah, but that was back when 125 was worth 10,000 bucks.

I'm gonna add about my trailer. I was in high school rising around with my friend in a 65 Chevy truck. Windows down, heard a loud boom. Turns out a welder was nearby and a tank blew up. It blew his stomach open. He died on way to hospital. Years later I thought I saw a corner of a...

Just PM me your cell #, location, pics of tractor, hours, make sure your voice mail and texts function properly. I will list tractor in your area and surrounding, and move that baby. Price without anything else, just tractor. Price tractor and batwing or batwing alone. So three prices I need...

All they want is money. Don't matter where or how you get it.

We have a tank with a pto pump. It works every time we turn the pto on. A small pto pump will be easier to deal with than a 12v pump. On side by sides and 4 wheelers we use 12v pumps. I was using a 44 cubic yard dump trailer cleaning up after a hurricane in south Florida. I ended up with...

I would put a 4x6 piece of wood in back of forks when I absolutely needed 42" forks. That would be on 48" forks. We had a set of 42", hated them things. Bought some 48" and life is better. And yes, I pick up totes too. Pallets. Plywood. Bricks. Lumber.

I'd buy it cheap. Hook it up and see if all good. Ain't too much to it. You could take cylinder off and push and pull to clean it out. I've pulled a rope with a piece of cloth through hoses to clean them out.

I can't remember the name of the place, but there is a place that sells all kinds of plow parts. SISCO I think is one. I'll be by the shop and I'll know another. Bad when your memory is slipping.

Just get an old A frame and two cheap come alongs. Works like a charm.

Bay Leaves? They don't like those.

If it needs a new roof, cut that thing in sections. Haul it in sections. House movers cut houses up and move them. I've put a few together. Hauling something that long will be bad. Trailer houses are long but the axles are more toward the center, so easier to handle. Ive moved a trailer...

I've hauled 50,000 pounds with an F250 many times, sometimes 100 miles one way.

I'd buy that before a new one

Cheaper to separate the alcohol from the gas. Use that in your small engines. Pour the 10% you got from your gas can into your auto in hot months.

One of mine was made in the late 1980's and has yet to be painted the first time. Still good, it's all the same color too. 23' bumper pull, 18 flat plus 5' dove tail.

Put blade back on tight. Put a chain on end of blade to deck or frame. Put wrench on pulley nut. Hit wrench with hammer. Use a 4x4 block, or tie it to truck bumper and drive away. I have used all methods.

Lot of them had 5,36 gears. Some had 5.13 ratio.

Make hay when the sun shines. We don't make it in the rain. Same with grading. Wait until the moisture is right to work the dirt. Sometimes when we had to work it and it was dry, we had a water truck for the moisture and used two bull dozers and a road grader to work the dirt. Even bull...

Just take thermostat out and see if it still gets hot. Some engines you can't plug off a heater hose, it must be in a loop to circulate. Will get too hot in a jiffy. So check the heater hoses.

I've never experienced that new tractor scent.

When you have those lines loosened on the injectors, just loose, not off, does it spray fuel all over ? Or just weep out a little fuel? I've had them shoot fuel six or eight feet when things are right.

Start over from the beginning. Lot of times you have to do that. Set it all back up correct and start again.

There aren't too many options up that way.

All that trash may have starved it of fuel check for a fine screen at injection pump inlet if you're getting white smoke, it is injecting. Blow the whole fuel line out from pump to tank. Lick your calf over again and get fuel flow back to the pump. New filter included. Loosen three hard...

Okay, one activates, one holds it on, one is neutral/ground. So if you un plug and check the tractor side, you should get ignition voltage at START. You can check RUN position also to find your problem. That should allow you to find which leg your problem is on. I just had same situation on...

That circuit board looks to be all good. Does your pull on solenoid have three wires going to it?

I've seen a few break. It's bad situation. It never happens at a good time.

Just get a riding mower at a yard sale. I've gotten good ones for 100.00. Put a wide seat snow chains on rear, winch on front. 200.00 and you can travel. That's real beater money. I use 79 and older pickups myself, my 74 has been squeezed down to sxs width because it has flat sides from...

Here in oilfield country, local supply houses have grade 10 all thread.

I don't have one. We have an old LONG 8' tiller that still does good. But, I have seen KUHN tillers and they do just fine. I have rebuilt some hay mowers, complicated as Chinese arithmetic, but still good.

If you cut hay, you'd know what KUHN was all about. They are good, right there at top notch best level.

Yes crankcase pressure is what I'd look into. I have cleared jungle many times. Never lost a dip stick.

Son in law and nephew, keep it in the family.

We can't do that because it makes too much sense. We are not living in the age of doing things that make sense anymore. Those days are long gone.

I use a caliper so rusty and old that I don't even try the numbers. I just hold the calipers against a known good measuring tape. But I'm in Arkansas, y'all probably expect that from me.

Then it must have a low voltage control relay that has done went bad. Your low strength ignition signal goes to a relay that has the high strength. Your ignition signal makes the relay close and pull solenoid open. So, something has a bad connection or something has gotten weak in that...

A tractor with loader and a six ft bush hog will fill up a 20' trailer. You may could put the tiller under the loader at the front, but then your load adjustment for your trailer weight may be dicey for a half ton truck. I'm 20 miles north of LA and I'm careful about going there because of...

40 years ago my dad bought us a welding machine. I could weld all I want when I was 13 years old. Dad never learned. My brother lives close to dad so his welding machine was at dads shop, I bought it from him because he wasn't using it and he will sell or chunk what he don't use. My brother...

I have seen that too.

You can put a loader on it. I've seen them. We have a 1900 tractor just like that. Just don't look for one to fit the tractor, just look for the right size loader. Saw a nice good one at the scrap yard a while back. Make brackets or have some made. Loader probably will come with brackets...

I remember in welding class in high school. Our teacher was a retired Marine Colonel Green Beret with several consecutive tours in Vietnam. Boys we might a done some welding off in there. We had a local steel fab shop that would give the school cut off pieces. They gave us a lot of right...

You can use a chain pipe wrench. It grabs all the way around. Put some heat on it too, the seals will handle maybe 600 degrees. I did all the cylinders when I worked at new Holland. Best tool to do them cylinders was an old PROTO pipe wrench. It was thinner than a RIDGID, and it grabbed...

Well un hook the shaft and shoot the pto stub itself.

People hold them close to shafts regularly. That's how they measure speed. Oscilloscope works the same way. Timing light works on spark plug engines.

That sounds backwards.

I've bought many an old tractor. Never surprised with any of them.

I use 15 year old fuel all the time. Had 350 Gallons and still ain't run it all yet.

Just play some Dolly Parton music. Wildflowers Don't Care Where They Grow.

Hed be at 9' 11" with light directly on roof. 10' door.

Straight cut gears are stronger.

Are the drop legs on lift adjusted up? All tractors you can manually lift the lift higher than the top position. You may need to make some shorter arms down to your lift arms. Really 12 to 13 should be fine, but I'd want the lowest position to just touch the ground, maybe 4" lower than tires.

Just because a battery is charged does not mean it carries a load. Load test the battery. When you know the battery is good, you can find the problem. If you don't know if battery is good, you can replace 50 things and it still won't crank over. I've seen the ends of cables crystallized and...

I carried three many times. Because I needed three once and only had two.

You can remove plug. Twist up a paper towel. Light it and put in cylinder to burn off any flooding. You could have a bad fuel line. They is badly about splitting or just breaking. Primer bubble good? I spray starting fluid in the exhaust. That seems to make the diaphragm in carb start...

I've used starting fluid all day every day on two strokes. I spray into exhaust though. If I can get it to hit one time, she'll run.

Do your pins turn in the bucket? Shouldn't. All our six none turn in the bucket. We handle thousands of large bales each year. No loose ones.

Just get a pilot bit and counter sink and screw broken piece back on. Probably won't be able to tell it even happened. Tell doofus to get some extra keys or even a push button latch.
