I have a Power Major. The one with the vacuum governor.

CONDENSER

Tubes fix all these problems and are more serviceable. I fix lots of flats. Log skidders on down. Much rather deal with tubes. After break it down, air tube up to find keep. If you marked valve stem you can look at tire in the same area and see if a thorn or something is there. My lawn...

If he hasn't bent a rod.

We get that heat every year. I work outside too. Been all through Canada and Alaska. Of course, your winters would get me.

Cup holder, I can live with just that one.

We made an effort to remove all thorns on over 100 acres. There were many but are gone now. Big 4" long shiny thorns.

I weld on trucks on the regular. Never disconnect anything. It may have done some damage but in a few days it will roll over 200,000 miles and it has not affected me yet, but I will keep an eye out for any damage.

iTiiT. I fix all our flats on 8 tractors. All have water in all four tires all the time. Plus some anti freeze.

You need to slow your travel speed. Thick grass is way tougher than any brush will ever be. My dad and brother run everything past maximum potential and then wonder why it dont do better. Just took a new Kuhn hay cutter apart. Had to chunk pieces and buy new parts. Bearings wore and burnt...

Drama

I found a stihl on a 9" grinder motor. 9" angle grinders are tough.

Clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, pilot bearing. I think those have double clutches in them. Neighbor has a 68 model still has orig clutch. He runs 1000 head cattle, farms, cuts hay. Tractor gets used. Only tractor until the 90's. You may just need to grease the throw out bearing...

Call heavyquip and get some teeth. You're just missing the teeth. That part stays on the bucket. Teeth are replacement items.

Last one I did was on a hydro axe tree cutter. They had a big tree in it and one pin had fell out. He drove over a stump and when it jostled over, snapped the boom off. 2x6 solid steel. Upper pins in boom were stuck bad. He was going to call CAT to gouge them out. I went down in the woods...

We've had one around here almost thirty years.

Call bobcat. Ours is bolted on right now. Go out to the county shop and get a used grader blade and order some bolts for it. I put a grader blade on the neighbors.

Just get a lunch box locker for the rear. Keep your original guts in a zip lock. One of those posi units in the rear, and some mud grippy tires will do good.

id wear good jeans incasnin the timber rattles, water moccasins, and copperhead.

I've got some wranglers here with no watch pocket. Where do I put my spare key? They are thrift store britches but they are like new.

I miss my old Toughskins.

Only problems with 6.0 is make sure top bracket on oil dipstick is fastened. Buy a new 3 way radiator hose assembly for it. Because when it goes out you are stranded. Take the old assembly and make a steel pipe 3 way and clamp the hoses on it for next time. I worked shop for a company that...

Just hook it up. If it's not right, reverse the lines. Goes back to marking it when you take it apart.

It could work. Seen plenty made with auto rear ends. Maybe turn the gear box around and drive from the blade side. Only if auger bit fits the drive side. You need to make a hitch so that it dangles. Check how a factory PhD hitch is made. We used an old home made one for years. Got a...

Wire nuts should be just fine if you use them properly. I'm 51 and my dad was an electrician that I worked for a lot. I'm color blind, which is why I didn't pursue it. House wiring is fine, not too many colors. Solder and shrink wrap works good. But I'm happy with wire nuts, buy them by the...

Does it turn off or kill the engine with a key? Or does it have a cable kill on it?

Wrap in foil and hide it. Should be fine.

Real money has RFID chip in it. That is why you should wrap large amounts in aluminum foil. Cops love civil forfeiture. 8000 is the going rate to get your cash back.

Don't do a check and a check won't be a problem. Wrap cash in tin foil and hide it in the vehicle somewhere. Cops like to confiscate it.

I had a 17A D7 Caterpillar. Park it on a slight hill with the blade up. Next morning release the clutch and roll start it. Only in warm weather.

I have done that many times. Never a problem.

An over run clutch will just extend your pro. It's not at all like the slip clutch. It will extend your pto one full length. Plus, it is a pick up and go part at a farm store. 8N tractors and many others need them.

Cubs are gold for truck patches. Still a lot of them around here. You can plow when it's just coming up. Or, we have a David Bradley. My granddaddy worked a forty truck patching until he was 88.

Saw one on cl here for 150. You can also look at scrap yards because they usually set blades to the side. Not junk yards but scrap yards, where you sell junk by the pound. Ours has a few blades laying around.

Yes but this owner has a years dead battery and a hood that won't open.

Just get another hot lead. Take your other hot lead loose at the starter. Bolt new one on starter and hot post of new battery. Use both of your jumper cables to ground new battery to tractor, or get a ground lead too. Crank it. Do what you need to do.

We have a 1900 bought new when Jimmy Carter was in office. In July you need to use the glow plugs. Even if it only sat less than an hour. Has been a great tractor too. Still used almost daily.

Make sure there is not a screen in addition to a filter. If it turns off with the key, check the fuel shut off solenoid. Should be on injector pump. Unplug wire on top, screw it out, remove rubber plunger, screw back in. Then run the tractor without it and see how it does. You can kill it...

I've hauled 21,000 lbs without brakes. But, I need to get legal in my old age. I drove my brothers 3/4 ton on the scales 47,500 lbs. We tried to keep it around 50,000 lbs. They never gave us a ticket. Somebody we know got one for five grand, so we get our stuff hauled with a big truck now.

We have a 1900, same age. Granddaddy bought it new. Only new thing he had bought, odd, since he was born in 1900. Put your battery in a battery box. Battery acid gets pulled by the fan to the screen and radiator, makes holes. Water pumps are high for those tractors. But, you can buy the...

I bought a trailer over twenty years ago. Put a big winch on front and a full size battery box. Haven't had those problems.

Ive worked ehnd a lot of them boys that knew what they was doing. They should not have left until it was right. Sounds more like they didnt know and gave up.

My dad had an arm fall loose like that. Backhoe snapped the top link boss out of rear end. It was a nasty deal. We welded it three different times, finally it holds. Be careful with backhoes with the ridgid top link. Its the biggest bush hog .brand hoe. The broke tractor could only use...

Just make some top fuel for it.

You can drain the alcohol off. I have been running ethanol in the same mower for 20 years. Run it in my old carb truck too. But, I use the mower year round. Nothing around here has a park it season. Winter comes, off with the deck, on with the trailer.

Wear a black T shirt, solved my problems. Buy some hand cleaner to wash your black shirts with. I live a problem free life now.

Use a torch or a die grinder. Be done in a few minutes. Pick one up at a pawn shop. You're welcome.

Disc the ground first to loosen things up. We always disced first. Still using the same Long tiller and Im 51. Grandad, uncle, dad all used it too. Been around as long as I can remember. Now, seen another guy that used just a tiller. He had gotten very good at replacing drive chain on...

I have a few 110 v chain saws. But then, I came across s STIHL electric. This looks like a saw bar on a 9" angle grinder. Its a hoss.

No, the impellers corrode off water pumps. They will kind of circulate. If you had no water pump at all, the radiator would still get hot just from heat rising. Does it crank evenly? Any smoke?

700 miles. Big Case International articulated with four sets of duals, and three Reynolds 14 yard dirt scoops behind it. Cheaper to drive it. Took three 18 wheelers to move it, had to remove outside duals.

Just look around and get a big ole pto winch off an oilfield truck or whatever. You could have it on your tractor in one evening. We just put a winch on my brothers tractor two weeks ago. We have a situation like yours. We have a skidder, but tractor is best. Cut your lengths before you...

Very good advice.

I seen my neighbor buy a house and some land. Paid it off in three years buying, restoring, and selling 8n and 9n tractors. But, I dont think he was prejudiced. He worked full time plus in the oilfield. Worked eleven years straight without a day off. Quit school in the seventh grade. Im not...

I have a 1970 3/4 4x4, no frills, just like I want things. Only one belt on the engine.

Well, I have a 70's model 3/4 4x4 and it gets a solid 19 mpg. If it had overdrive, Ive thought about adding it.

That is an opinion that I have proved untrue.

We have a 1981 model still going strong. Never been to the shop. We are a commercial farm, so ot gets used. For years, that was the only tractor we truck patched a forty with.

Yeah, I dont know how that skid steer will move that dirt better than a shovel and a wheel barrow will.

Your tractor dont have a brake controller anyway. We move 30-40 thousand pound trailers with a 5610 around here.

Hydraulic pto will stop. You need to creep through the tall stuff. I worked at new holland for years as mechanic, snd kubota. Just slow down. Have sharp blades. Cheap bush hogs turn 1 1/2 to 1, good bush hogs 2 to 1. Always check that when buying one. Ive never ran a diesel 2500 rpm. 1800...

If your state gives farm vehicles the right of way, then they should have uninsured motorist. I drive tractors, log skidders, log loaders, skid steers on the regular. Go clean up some of these hurricanes.

Just tie it together. Wrap a gallon zip lock bag around it. Tie the ends of bag. Insert tip of tube of silicone in one end and pump it full. You can move bag around until wire is centered. Leave it alone to cure out. Youre welcome.

Ive had an old craftsman that I have cleared a lot of land with over the last twenty years. Ive saved enough money on oil changes to pay for it, because I have never changed it. I mow about seven acres or so. But not all of it every time. Then, when grass is gone, drop the deck. I put a gun...

Bobcat. Raise cab, two solenoids on pass side. Swap locations. Should work opposite of how it works now. Buy a solenoid. Check ohm value of new one and match it to one of yours. One is bad.

Im almost in Texas. Had a dirt job. Had to wait a few days while they drove the tractor from Florida. City and county tractors run the roads all day. Make sure your lights work and you have the SMV placard.

Best bet would be get another 4020 and you can use it and look at it to put the other one together. Im finishing a JD skidder now. Jimmy Carter was president when it was bought new. Had it all apart. Sandblasted and painted the parts individually before assembly. It is worth it. Im trying...

HST if for the little flower bed tractors.

We clear land with two tracked skid steers Bush hog, Mulcher, grapple for each. I could not imagine using an ole air tired tractor. What if you have a flat and have to jack up the tractor? How much compaction then? If you're that worried about it, fence it off and put keep out signs on it do...

All you need is bearings and seals. Get them at a bearing store. If you keep grease in it, don't need gears. Check for slack in drive shaft. A little is just fine. I prefer ones that are 2:1 ratio.

I'd use it in a new York heartbeat. Iv used old as and older, still rolling. Or if you still afraid, put three gallons of old and couple gallons new and run it. I'd use it as is. I've run gas so old that it wouldn't burn with a lighter. Just add a little new with it. Gas pickup trucks don't...

They usually leave room for expansion.

Use drum with drain hose, no pump.

Learn to tie a timber hitch. I pull some big trees with my 75 high boy. I use a long chain and they reach well past the front bumper. Keep some foot long pieces of romex or tie wire so you can tie the hooks sometimes. Timber hitches can be stacked.

Yeah, I think of going to the lake and fishing all weekend with my buddy at his lake shack. There's that one neighbor that stays out ALL weekend trying to blow two acres of pine straw and leaves. I bet he can tell you anything you want to know about leaf blowers. When he dies, he will have...

You want one that will clamp your arm up in it. You don't want the two individual top clamps, those are awfully terrible. The rake bottom with two clamps is the worst. Get a full clam type grapple with full top and bottom clamp. We have two tracked skid steers and a 4x4 tractor that has...

I just spent a few weeks cleaning out some commercial chicken houses. Move slats, clean poop. Move slats back, then others moved on top of those, clean poop. Then go back and reset the slats back. Used an old tractor with the exhaust broke off at the hood. Never have sinus trouble but I do now...

Hello, I have a 325 excavator and was working fine then, the left track doesn't pull, I can still drive it to move it by driving and steering with the right side. Also, the swing will not go to the left. Swing right is fine. So, I have a chain connected from the left of blade to the bucket...
