There are no pictures at the link, other than a photo of the subject who was placed under arrest. Sounds like the accident might have been caused by carelessness on the part of the tractor operator. This happened about 20 miles from where I live, and was even closer to where I work. Just a...

No, it wasn't me! Came upon this little scene while driving home from work today and I had to turn around and get a pic of it!!! It's a little creek bottom (the creek is behind the tall brush behind tractor) that feeds into a pond about 250 yds on the other side of the tractor. This property is...

Last Saturday I was tilling the garden spot when the tiller went over something pretty hard that made some racket. I thought I should stop, get off, and check it out but I didn't. Went back over the same spot for a 2nd pass and it did it again so I said to self, ok stop and get off now to see...

I am still working on getting this PTO shaft going for my rototiller!! If I can get this u-joint out, I think I will have it licked.... but how does it come out?? I have pounded it through from one side so that the cup on the left is free and clear of the yoke (left side). But, it looks like the...

Ok, enough of the comic relief! It's a bedshaver. Here's another picture showing the front of it. This one has knives to slit the plastic sheeting. I took this pic yesterday at a U-pick strawberry farm that I drive by everyday on the way to work. There was frost warning for this morning...

I am sure some of you will know what it is right away, but if you do, hold off a bit and let's see what a few other folks think it is. That's usually pretty interesting to hear! Correct guesses win nothing but the respect and admiration of your fellow TBN'ers! :thumbsup:

Goodness, another rollover resulting in the death of the operator. The same thing happened in the same general area just a couple weeks ago! I copied & pasted that story on the safety forum in another thread further down below. There are no pic's at the link. Man Dies When Tractor Rolls Over...

Agreed 100%. I think the Int'l is a slight notch above the KK units. That's just my thinking from what I have seen personally with the two units. For those very observant TBN members, yes, the pivoting bracket on the center link is backwards. That pic was taken right after I bought the unit...

If you would, then it's for sale on CL!! How much weight can three 2x10's stacked onto each other hold at the end of the leverage point? I wouldn't want to try and find out. :confused2:

Sorry for taking so long to reply, kind of dropped this for a week or so. Long story, but last year I bought a used KK II rototiller. The previous owner had cut the pto shaft pretty short, for the 8N he was using it on. Young kid, I don't think he really knew what he was doing. Well, on my...

Bought a new to me pressure washer with a B&S 8.75hp engine, didn't get the instruction manual. What type of engine oil do these engines normally require? 10W-30 or 10W-40? I am in SC, never gets real cold here, but I won't be using it during the winter anyway. Thanks.

Another tragic accident involving moving & lifting a heavy object with a tractor. So unfortunate for this man, and his family. This reminds of another accident that I remember seeing on tv many, many years ago. A retired doctor up in Ohio or Pa (don't remember which for sure) was moving a round...

I loosened the nut thinking that it would let the yoke slide off, but then realized it's not "split" so it can clamp down on the PTO shaft. Duhhhh. Does that "threaded pin" sit in a groove on the PTO shaft? If so, then that pin has to be pushed or pressed out from the other side, right? There is...

I saw it on CL from a dealer in a nearby town. I don't know what brand of PHD it is, the ad didn't say. I've not seen one that had the 4 little "blades" like this one does, all the ones I've seen had the spiral flights that cover about 2/3rds of the auger. It just seems like those blades could...

Here's the removable chain bucket I built for my 790. I have a thread on here somewhere that shows how it was done.

I was surfing CL (like I always am) and came across this interesting log arch for sale. The story from the seller was that it belonged to his F-i-L, who used to run a sawmill. The log arch is home made, and HUGE, but it looks to have been very well thought out and very well constructed. He only...

Took this picture yesterday after doing some hiking. It's an old metal barn/shed used as a shop to maintain this fleet of JD's. The building is right beside an access point on a public hiking trail, my little pup pup and I walked a couple miles of the trail for some exercise and to enjoy the...

Thought I would mention there is a Kioti KL1470 loader with a 6ft bucket available here in SC for $1600. It's the frame, bucket, and hoses. Don't think the joystick valving is included. If you have an interest, send me a PM and I will get you hooked up with the seller. I have no involvement...

Under a metal 18x21 carport. Would really like to enclose it one day. It seems to get just as dusty sitting under the shed as it does from actual use.

I copied this from another forum, hope that's not a problem. I know this subject has been brought up a few times, but thought some might appreciate it again. "Machinist's Workshop" recently published information on various penetrating oils. The magazine reports they tested these products for...

Sorry, double thread. Mod's please delete this one.

Just wanted to say that I think that's a really good mower, I had one when I used to have my JD750. I bought it used and got great service out of it for the few years that I owned. I think the previous poster gave you great information on the shear bolt. Good luck with it!

Yep, it's a drilling rig! You have to look close, but in the first pic you can see the 3pt attachment points, and also the hydraulic pto pump. This pic is from the opposite side, and the rods in the trailer go with it. This isn't mine, so I don't know much about it. Just thought it would be...

Post your answer. There is no prize, but if you get it right then you have the respect of your fellow TBN' ers!!! :thumbsup:

Bought a used KKII rototiller back during the summer and the PTO shaft works fine until I lift it, whereby sometimes the two PTO shaft sections will come apart. Obviously it was sized for the tractor that it was originally on. I would like to see if I can locate another "tractor end" section...

Looking on CL the other day and saw an ad for a boom pole and a set of 3pt mounted forks so I went and looked at them after I got off work that afternoon. As it turns out, they are both home made, but made from heavy materials and welded together pretty good. No paint anywhere, so they are both...

I know it's been said here time and time again, but check the latch on the coupler, and the safety chains often during a trip!! Oh yeah, wear the seatbelts too! One Dead in Single Vehicle Accident Orangeburg, SC (WLTX) -- The South Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating a single vehicle...

Last Friday I was bushhogging 2 1/2 acres for a neighbor of my parents and usually I cut his place twice a year, once in the late Spring, and again in early Fall. This summer we have had a good bit of rain and the bahiagrass & weeds were pretty tall and thick in places. I was running it in 2nd...

If the spreader mounts into a 2" receiver hitch, then all you need is one of these to attach the feeder to (see pic). The handi-hitches are very versatile, and can be used for lots of things besides just with a spreader. :thumbsup:

Does it look like this one?? I have no idea who this harrow is made by, it showed up at the hunt club one day, but whomever dropped it off has taken it back home. I just thought it was neat so I took a couple of pic's of it.

Looking better after 6 days. Even better, I'm not foaming at the mouth or have the urge to bite people lol. :drool:

No, I didn't cut a toe or foot, but a dog ran up behind me and nipped me on the left calf muscle. This was last Tuesday, I was cutting my lawn with a push mower and I noticed the neighbor two houses over come home and pull up in his driveway. His teenage daughter gets out and lets the dogs out...

I think this question will also apply to the 770's, 850's, 870's and probably some other models too that use the three piece ROPS.... What grade bolt is used at the top of the ROPS to join the three sections together, with those two cast iron pieces? The reason I ask is because I just bought a...

This is a bit of a freaky accident because you would expect the tractor to at least be on the road when it was hit. In this case, the tractor was actually sitting in a driveway, I suppose waiting for the traffic to clear before he pulled out. You have to wonder what the second truck driver was...

Last Friday evening I was at my folks house (where I keep all my tractor stuff) and was out in the yard getting ready to hook up my 16ft trailer to my truck so I could take the tractor to the hunt club the next morning to finish up some food plots. Their house is at an intersection and there is...

Yeah, the OP needs to search for the recent threads on parking your post hole digger. Suspending it from a cable/chain is a very easy way to allow you attach a PHD to your tractor because it is easy to move it around to get things lined up. See my pic.

Congrat's on the new Yanmar!! I hope you really like it and get great service out of it. So glad the Kubota dealer came through with a refund. I guess the wait to get the new machine was worth all the hassle you went through. Good luck with it!! Btw, I kind of dropped this thread but after...

I have a project in mind to add a seed/fertilizer hopper to the back of the cultipacker I recently bought, with the intention to drop seed or fertilizer right after the tilled dirt has been packed down. It would be need to be about 5 1/2 ft wide, so I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen a hopper...

Here's the ammo box I put on the right fender on my 790. I got smart and put a padded armrest on the lid. Works great, and lasts a long time lol.

I read a SC hunting forum and someone posted a thread that he was bush hogging at his hunt club this morning and one of the blades on his bush hog broke off and it was thrown into one of the rear tires! :eek: Scary!!

Finally got to use my "new to me" cultipacker today, and I LIKE IT!!! :thumbsup: This thing works great to smooth out a plot that you just disc'ed up with the harrow. I was planning to just take the rippers off it before using it, but decided what the heck, I'll try it like it is. The rippers...

Today I went and looked at an attachment that was listed as a 6ft cultipacker on craigslist. I had been wanting one to help put in food plots at the hunt club. It looked pretty good in the pic's, but after I got there and started looking at it closely, I realized this unit was a homemade job...

and made a few bucks off of it. It was a Leinbach L-7200 that I bought about 15 years ago. I would say I got my money's worth out of it!! The reason I sold it was because I came across a deal on craigslist 5 weeks ago on a very nice L-7300 model for $220! You might recall I had a thread on here...

How do I got about replacing the seal on the input shaft on the gearbox? Will I have to drain the rest of the fluid, then remove the 4 bolts that hold the front plate on, then pull the shaft out? It looks like once you do that, the shaft should slide out of the plate from the rear, which would...

Here's a pic of the one I fabbed up for my JD 790. It's a dual purpose bracket that holds the chainsaw and a fire extinguisher. I have a complete thread on this, but if you want to see more, you'll have to search for it, or I can find it for you.

Anyone ever taken a golf cart canopy and fabricated a frame for it to use as a canopy on their tractor?? I know they are not the strongest canopies out there, but if you can get one for the right price, and have some scrap metal laying around, it seems like it would be a nice, cost effective way...

I used to have a Land Pride 15-48 bush hog, great piece of equipment and very well made. I used it behind a JD 750, which was a 21hp tractor with about 18hp at the PTO. I always thought that was a great combination, and the tractor handled it quite well, although without extra weights up front...

Thanks CU. It's a really neat truck. It's a Trailblazer model, one of the RARE Griffith conversions that was done by a custom shop in Jacksonville. They cut the back of the cab out, welded it to the bed, put in carpet and a flip fold seat in the back, and then added a fiberglass top. It's just...

What is the going rate for a cubic yard of concrete delivered, at least in the southeast?? I got a quote to have a 19x23 pad poured underneath my metal carport. The carport is actually 18x21 but I wanted a little extra on the sides and a 2ft ramp on one end. According to online concrete...

I have an 83 Toyota 4x4 truck that I;ve been tinkering with selling. It's in pretty sad shape and hasn't been running in about 5 years or so. The only reason I parked it was because I just didn't need it, and didn't want to pay to keep it up, insurance, taxes, etc. Had a guy offer $700, I think...

Have been thinking of selling my Honda Foreman 450ES and replacing it with a UTV. Is it used mainly for hunting, so I want/need/demand one that is really quiet. Can anyone tell me who has the quietest one on the market? Is there a comparison chart somewhere that shows the decibel ratings for all...

Here's how I did mine, the pic doesn't quite show it all but the chain is simply suspended from a 4x4 piece of wood. There was already a thread about this same subject and it showed several ways to store a PHD. A little searching might find it.

Today at 1:23pm I came across an ad on CL for a Leinbach L-7300 PHD for the incredibly high price of $220. I noticed the ad had been posted at 12:43pm, so I thought maybe I still had a shot at it. I sent an email and said I could be there this afternoon with cash to pick it up, and gave my cell...

I like the new version of the forum software so far, in that it seems to be flip back and forth between posts a bit quicker than the older version. :thumbsup: Also, I notice when you click on a picture on a post that is way down the thread, and then hit the back button, it goes straight back to...

Another tragedy involving a tractor and a rotary mower. ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) - An 84-year-old Rock Hill man has died after he fell off a tractor while he was mowing grass on his farm. The Herald of Rock Hill reported John Branch Jr. fell off the tractor Saturday and was killed when some...

I bought a new to me 5ft KK Rototiller last January and just started using it today. The area I was using it had a slight hill on one side, and as I was going up it, the two sections of the PTO shaft separate as the front of the tractor was pointing up the hill. How much overlap should there be...

I started on this project last year around October but set it aside for deer season and just now got motivated to finish it up.

Usually this time of the year the owning/operating and attachment forums are snowed under (pun intended) with plenty of threads discussing two things: how to move/blow snow and/or tire chains. I just read in the news that this past January was the 4th warmest on record, since records had been...

I know brand bashing isn't allowed here so I hope this doesn't fall under that category, but just had to rant here. My 2000 F150 with the 5.4L triton motor started leaking antifreeze Sunday. Looked like it was coming from the top front right-hand side (as if sitting in the truck) of the motor...

Saw a post on craigslist for a Boomer 8N that was for sale in Ohio. According to the ad, it only had 14.2 hours, and the asking price was like $17.9K, which I guess is good considering new it was close to $30K. I think it was being sold by a dealer or a business rather than a private individual...

So, my question is will the vinyl siding...

There is a TC33D 4x4 parts tractor that has a loader, and includes a 6ft boxblade, for $3000 available in Huntersville, North Carolina. The catch is the engine is tore down completely. It sounds like maybe it had low oil pressure. I think it's probably worth $3000. I imagine it would be a bear...

This old tractor tire is laying beside a road close to one of the gates to my hunt club. Thought I would take a pic and share it. Any guesses as to how long the tire has laid there???

While driving back from my hunt club today, I came across this New Holland tractor that belonged to Davey Tree. It was doing RoW maintainence along with a Timberjack delimber tractor with a boom bucket. I'll do a separate thread on the Timberjack, makes it easier to keep up. First off, this one...

Today I was able to stop and get a couple pic's of a New Holland mulcher machine that was working with the Kershaw Sky Trim, which I had a previous thread about last week. They were still in the same location near my hunt club so I guess I was just lucky. If you want to see the Kershaw unit...

Passed by this today on the way home from the hunt club and stopped to take a few pictures. This kind of equipment always fascinates me. It looks like it could be fun to operate, but not for a living lol. I didn't get a pic of the far end, but it had a really heavy duty winch bolted to the...

and left me a NICE King Kutter II 5ft rototiller in the driveway! I guess he had to ship it a bit early cause I doubt it would fit in his sleigh lol. Rudolph and gang would have gotten a hernia toting that 700 lbs around! :laughing: Picked this up off of my local craigslist actually. The guy...

OK, looks like it was sold as I don't see the listing anymore. Mod's can delete this thread if they like.

Just wondering, but is a JD Model G one of the models with the tricycle front wheels?? If so, I wonder if that contributed to the accident? This victim was only 27, and it happened the day before Thanksgiving day. I feel sorry for his family. :( Coroner: Seneca man dies after injured in...

Mounting an ammo box on a fender is nothing new, but I added a little twist to mine. I upholstered the top for a "plush arm rest" to help sooth the bumps from a long day of bushhogging or plowing!! :thumbsup: Like most compacts, there isn't much room to add anything (is that why they are called...

I was using my 4-5 yr old Troy-Bilt 2300psi pressure washer with 6.75hp B&S motor the other day and I looked back and all of a sudden there was oil pouring out from underneath the pump. I ran back to it and looked to see where it was coming and it was coming from the water pump. I haven't looked...

How is it done? Is it even possible?? This is the one thing that I have never gotten the hang of. :mad: There has to be a special tool or technique for it!! The pull rope on my parent's mower broke, so I took the engine cover off to get to the recoil mechanism. One screw in the center, so I...

Looking to get something to cover up the seed with this fall. In the past we (my hunt club) have usually covered the seed by one of the following methods: 1) run the disc harrow back over it 2) tie an old bed spring to an atv and run that over it to cover up. 3) tie an old tractor tire to an atv...

Sadly, a 62 yr old gentleman lost his life simply mowing his lawn. The article doesn't state what kind of mower it was, but to have had a ROPS it must have been a subcompact tractor with a belly mower, or maybe ZTR mower with a ROPS. Just a guess but, whatever he was operating, apparently he...

this was taken about a mile up the street from my house. I drive by there everyday on my back & forth to work. The pine tree died some time ago, and a recent thunderstorm apparently blew down most of the top. It now has a slight lean going away from the truck, hence the rope tied to the bumper...

Ok, it's not a tractor but a riding mower can still kill you if you're not careful. This older gent survived a rollover as well as a near drowning so he was doubly lucky! There is a short video as part of the article (worth watching), but you'll have to watch the commercial first. Santee man...

Saw this on a local CL and thought some of you might get a chuckle out of it. I know the father didn't!! JOHN DEERE RIDING MOWER - $100 (XXXXXXXXX) Date: 2010-07-02, 9:29AM EDT THIS MOWER WAS RUNNING GOOD UNTIL A CHILD PUT SAND IN THE OIL. NEW ENGINES FOR THESE CAN BE BOUGHT FOR AROUND $350...

Another head scratcher spotted for sale on CL. I do not understand the reason behind this, but why would someone shorten the ROPS on a tractor??? Just pure stupidity, imho. Honestly, it seems like it would/could be more dangerous than not having one at all.

This was an ad on CL of a JD LA115 mower that came off of the trailer. Here's the ad: john deere - $1000 (xxxxxxxxxx) Date: 2010-06-21, 5:38PM EDT Have a deere 115 auto matic this deere was in a accident and came of the trailer the deck is bent a little bit and the back axle i think This...

Man, this thing is fast too! Only problem is I haven't figured out how to attach my bush hog yet, looks like I will need to get me one of those pull behind deals. I figure I should be able to mow about 5 acres/hour once I get it all set up though. :D Any ideas why JD didn't have to put a ROPS on...

I saw these on CL in a town maybe about 3 hrs drive from me. Apparently someone there is building and selling them for $199, which includes shipping. I'm thinking about ordering a set. Do you all think it's a decent price? I think they look pretty nice for $199. I would post the link, but I...

I wonder what the details were behind this accident?? Maybe there was a lot of angle (high trailer deck) and one of the ramps slipped out from under the mower? Once again it proves you can never be too careful operating power equipment, no matter what it is or how many times you've done it...

Caught by surveillance camera. Just think if dude had been standing in the wrong place??? Click on the arrow. Sorry, but you'll have to watch the 30sec commercial before you can see the video. Security camera captures giant runaway saw blade

Went turkey hunting at my club last Saturday morning and this was parked right where we turn off a secondary road onto the dirt road that leads down to our hunt cabin. It's a Woods Boss by VME, they've been discussed here before but this was my first up close look at one. I think it was a model...

While this doesn't involve a tractor, I thought it was worth sharing..... Local Truck Driver Killed in Industrial Accident Allen Wallace Created: 4/13/2010 6:40:42 PM Updated: 4/13/2010 6:42:11 PM Hanover, MD (WLTX) -- A Clarendon County man was killed Monday in an industrial accident...

I have two Ryobi 2 cycle string trimmers, one is an older model 790r, the other is a newer one but not sure what model. They both crank easily enough, and idle ok but as soon as you give them any throttle at all, they want to die. I mean just like you hit the kill switch. What's up with them...

Is there such a thing??? I saw an ad for a "ducktail" trailer on CL. Emailed the guy and asked if he wasn't mistaken, maybe he meant dovetail. No, he was adamant it was a ducktail trailer. Just what is a ducktail trailer???

I have an ammo case that I want to mount to the rightside fender to use as a tool box, but the cupholder is in the way. I seem to recall a thread where someone had done the very same thing, and after they mounted the toolbox box to the fender, they reattached the cupholder to the top of the...

I had a thread sometime ago about repainting my 16ft trailer that I use to haul my tractor on. My plan was to pull the deck boards off and take it to a guy who paints them on the side. He was going to sandblast, prime, and paint it for about $400. After that, I was going to put new deck boards...

No lying! I was at a local flea market today and there was a NH TC30 with the ROPS sawed off about a foot or so below from where the top of it would have been. No, it wasn't for sale at the market, it was parked against a building with a flat tire. I think maybe it was owned by the flea market...

My parents bought a Craftsman YTS 3000 rider late last summer and it works great, but one issue I have with it are the turf tires spin too much sometimes. They have a hill on one end of their yard and the way the yard is, going in circles is the best and most efficient way to cut that end...

I saw this ad on Craigslist. Guy was selling his nice rider for a mere $85 bucks, but there's a reason. Yeah, we all do dumb things from time to time, but I haven't come close to this one....yet! :) quote: 42" cut Huskee needs motor. Everything else very good condition. Also has fairly new...

Last year I bought a used John Deere disc harrow from a JD dealer, and the harrow came set up with the sleeves (and pins to hold them in place) for the IMatch system. Well, I have the EZ change set up on mine so first thing I did was to remove these sleeves. I'm going to see if I can sell them...

at my hunt club. You might recall I had a thread a few weeks ago about taking my tractor down to the club and busting the dam on the spillway of the 3A pond at my hunt club. Well, yes they rebuilt it of course. A couple of the guys in the club have gone down there and busted it twice more since...

Well, put my 2000 F150 in the Quicklube shop today for a very simple thing.... I just wanted the plugs changed out, right? Any decent greasepit mechanic should be able to handle such a simple task, right? Well, get a call at work and the mechanic gave me some news that sent chills throughout my...

This popped up on a local CL and the seller wasn't sure what it was for. It had been sitting on some property he bought and he had no use for it so he's selling it. It looks to me like it could hold a set of detachable forks, the kind that have a loop at the top that you run a solid tube through...

I have a John Deere Van Brunt grain drill that I thought I might be able to restore to the point that we could use it at my hunt club to seed some of our food plots with. Well, I don't really have anywhere to park it out of the rain, and I don't think I'm going to be able to devote the time and...

is a middlebuster! Got this off a guy on CL for $90. Tried to get him down to $80 but no dice. After getting it home, I think it might actually be made more for a subcompact, but it still has CAT 1 size pins on it. They are set a bit closer though, and the position for the top link is a bit...

Yeah, I know you folks up north are probably sick and tired of pushing, throwing & shoveling, but this is the first we've had in a LONG time so I got to shout out about it!! :D It started here about 3pm today and looking at the radar, it should go on until about midnight or so. Good thing...

I have a Diamond Clipper 16ft landscape trailer (manufactured in Texas) that's in dire need of a paint job. The rust has gotten to be a real eyesore, and I'm about to get my truck re-painted soon so I'm probably going to "freshen up" the trailer too so it will all look nice. I have some...

Really hate to see this sort of stuff happen to such a nice tractor, but often times it's the result of abuse or operator error... ie bad judgement or just no common sense. Btw, this one is for sale for $5k on tractorhouse.

Hope this is the best forum to ask this question.... I guess the subject could apply to tractor sheetmetal too! :) I'm looking to get my truck repainted by a bodyshop. Should I wait till warmer weather to have it done, or is anytime of the year ok? I know most places use paintbooths inside...

First, I have to apologize for only having three pic's to show you all cause I know how everyone likes to see pic's of tractors at work! :) What happened was I took three pics before I started working, then the camera wouldn't take anymore - error message on screen said "no available memory". I...

Saw this on a local TV website. It's not really tractors, but it is another reminder whenever you're around equipment, make sure the operator(s) know where you are at and can see you. Worker Dies After Being Run Over on Logging Site CALHOUN FALLS, S.C. (AP) -- A man working for a logging...

Man, that was a long three week cold snap that finally snapped! Not trying to rub it in for you folks up north still in the deep freeze, but we're just not used to having cold weather for that length of time. Typically we have a low of about 30, and then it'll usually warm up to 55 or better...

The last week 10-12 days it's been very cold and dry here in SC and the static electricity has been eating me up!!! I'm tired of getting shocked everytime I walk across the carpet and touch the light switch, or I take off a sweatshirt and go touch something I get zapped!! I started spraying...

I got a letter from Farm Show magazine for a discount price for new suscribers. It's only $14.95 for a year (6 issues) and to tell you the truth, it looks like a pretty good magazine. Lots of stuff on custom projects like you see here on tractor bynet, and user opinions/comments on equipment as...

Lows predicted in the mid to upper teens, highs in the 30's all through this coming week. I pity you folks up north cause I know it's colder than that the further north you go. At least we don't have two feet of snow to get out of the way. Stay warm out there!!

Came across a John Deere fiberglass canopy on my local craigslist for $185. I figure I can probably get it for a bit less than that, but it's off a JD 955. The question is will it fit the ROPS on my 790? I know they are each a different design, the 955 is made of a continuous piece of steel...

I saw an ad on craigslist for a nice looking bobcat skid steer but the seller had actually cut off the roof and at least part of the cage around it. The pic's weren't real clear but it looked like the front part with the screen was still there. I'm not looking to buy one, but I just thought it...

Check it out, I think it looks great! I got it from a guy on craigslist for $20. I added a second 1 3/4" crossmember beneath the main bar, and then added two tabs to that one to mount my lights onto. Those are 55W halogens from wallyworld for $17 bucks. I had planned to mount them on top of the...

What's wrong with this picture? Is there a specific reason someone would that?? I've heard of reversing the front tires for loader work, but this????

I just bought a Ryobi TP30 which is a 30cc 2-stroke tree pruner with the Expand It feature from a seller on craigslist. It also included a string trimmer and hedge trimmer attachments. The unit cranks up and runs just fine. The string trimmer does have a minor glitch with the bump feed for the...

Finally got my handy hitch welded together, painted up, and ready to hook up to the tractor! The first picture is my parts list. I basically started with a medium duty 1" reese towhitch for a small pick that I got off of craigslist cheap. It was an adjustable width design which is what the three...

I recently had a thread on the MF forum regarding a '59 TO35 that my hunt club bought for $1000. Well, we are finding out why it was $1000. :( When we got it, there was water in the tranny/hyd compartments. Of course, we drained it, tried to flush as best we could, and then refilled it. So, the...

Yeah, I know these have been posted here before a few times but my local NH dealer has a couple of them in stock and I thought I would post a couple pic's again. Definitely worth seeing again! This one lists for $29,900. They have one with a loader at the other store location about 25 miles away...

Watch this one and see what you think. Doesn't look like the operator ever bothered using the seatbelt. If nothing else, he sure was taking a chance at bending the loader or breaking something on the tractor. YouTube - muddin'2

a Fred Cain 7-shank cultivator tool? We had one at the hunt club yesterday and I hooked it up to see how well it would pull it. With unloaded R4 bar tires and the tractor in 4x4, it wanted to spin a lot if the chisels dug too deep, or if one caught a large root (maybe 1" dia or so). The strip...

earlier this year. I just now got a look at it this weekend. We gave the man $1000 for it and it runs. :) It's a TO-35 with serial number SDM201207, which makes it a '59 model. It's got the standard 4cyl diesel with multipower clutch. It has "DELUXE" label on both sides of the hood. The club...

My hunt club bought a '57 TO-35 earlier this year. We need to flush out the trans/hyd fluid on it. It has water in it as a result of a dry rotted trans. shifter boot. What is the generally recommended way to flush out the water after draining it? Is there a screen to clean while it is...

Are there any practical uses for used hydraulic fluid? Can it be used as bar lubricant on a chainsaw maybe? If not, any other potential uses?? This stuff is expensive and seems a shame to just pour it down the drain. If no ideas, I'll just head to the recycle center and dispose of it properly.

My folks have a well on their property and I want to see about fixing it up to use for watering a garden next year. I believe the well was hand dug as it's only about 22ft deep, and probably about 2 1/2ft in diameter. It's capped off with a big round concrete pipe (also about 30" dia) with a...

I'm about to change the hyd/tranny fluid on my 790 for the first time. I already have the filter, but still need to get the cheap & inexpensive JD Hy-Gard fluid at my local JD dealer this week. My manual says I need 4 gal's, that's fair enough. But, will I need some extra with the loader on it...

Yesterday I added some DOT red & silver reflective strips to my ROPS. I seldom ever drive it on the road but it's just an extra safety thing I did. I do have an SMV sign on the back of the seat but you can't see it unless I remove John Deere seat cover. If I am going to drive it on the road...

Any 790 owners, have you ever had to replace the two foam rubber pieces that hold the seat springs in place?? Mine broke last weekend so I guess I'll be making a trip to my JD dealer. It looks like all I need to replace are the two rubber pieces that tore apart, I think they're held in place...

I'm looking for a 5 1/2 ft disc harrow with easy adjustment (for the gang angle) and have come across a used Frontier DH1066, 5-1/2 foot model in stock at a JD dealer for $700. Have not seen it yet cause it's in NC, and I'm in SC. The deal is that it's at a "sister" JD dealership in NC, but the...

bet you didn't know that huh? Well, here's one of their models: Obviously this one doesn't have the three point hitch option, or the model 427 FEL. :) Can you just imagine that jewel parked beside your JD tractor?? ;)

Don't know what its called, but does anyone know if JD offers an adjustable link (that goes from the rockshaft arm down to the side draftlink) and it uses a crank handle to adjust the length with? I've seen it on other tractors and it beats having to loosen the two nuts and then rotate the...

I hope it's ok to paste this article & a link for the WLTX television website?? If it violates a rule on this forum, let me know and I'll edit it or have the mod's delete it. Just a really mean and lowdown act of vandalism at a farm in South Carolina. There's a picture of some barn damage if...

Are they 1/4"? Or 5/16" I need to replace a couple on my 790 and wanted to know what size to get without having to pull one off and take it with me. Thanks!

I guess this is like Ford or Chevy, but which do you like the best?.... I have a 16ft trailer with a drive-on ramp. Mine is spring loaded to assist you when raising or lowering the ramp. I like this arrangement the best because it's quick and easy to drive on/drive off the tractor. Plus, being...

Here is gramps on his new three wheel tractor. He got a great deal on it too. Gramps used to complain about granny putting on too much weight, but he finally found something good about it. Now he don't complain no more about her being too fat. Here's a pic of the happy couple driving it to the...

Saw this on craigslist and thought I would post it here. It's a pretty good way to park your post hole digger.

If you have a few minutes watch this video and see how many unsafe practices you can count in the tractor pull and tractor "trials". I like their pulling sled btw, constant weight the entire distance. None of that silly sliding weight transfer box stuff for these guys!!! You gotta love the one...

I ordered a 4" PTO shaft extender from their website last Sunday evening, and it was sitting on my front doorstep yesterday (Tuesday) when I got home from work! From checking the UPS website Monday evening, I learned that it was coming from somewhere around Goldsboro, NC so being next door in SC...

On the 790 (and probably all JD CUT's) it's 1-3/8" x 6 spline right? Looked in my owners manual but I didn't see it in the spec's. Just want to be sure before I order a 4" adapter to compensate for the PEC moving the implements 4 inches further away. Thanks.... Keith

Was looking at my loader today and noticed where both cylinders that lift the loader arms have some gap between the end mounts that slide onto the pin's, and the upright brackets of the loader frame. It looks like it's maybe 1/4" or so. Is this normal?? Or should I undo the cotter pins, slide...

Wasn't sure to post this here or in the pushpin thread for Pat's EC system but decided to post it here since it gets more views. Anyone had any problems with an implement not being compatible with the Pat's EC??? I ordered the Pats Easy Change and got it installed with no trouble and thought...

This article was on a local tv station today. Sad to hear about it, but thought it might help us to be more careful around ditches, dams, creekbanks, sidehills, etc. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but you have to always be on your guard when operating a tractor. Man Dies When...

If you can believe the ad, I'm sitting here wondering how you stuff a 50hp chevy engine into such a small tractor?? And then get all the linkage and shafts to mate up?? Must be some kind of a mechanic/machinist/magician to make that sort of engine swap!! Here's the ad: Ford Tractor - $1150...

Mostly curious here, but kind of playing with the idea of adding a hydraulic top cylinder to my 790. Anybody have a rough idea how much cost that would be if bought through JD? I am guessing there may be some aftermarket kits for the cylinder itself from other sources that might be a little...

Hey, let's have a little fun with this one.... If you know what it is, don't blurt it out! If you think you know what it might be, let's hear your guesses. (one guess per username) No, it's not my attachment, I came across the pic at a website for an upcoming auction for some farm equipment...

Visited my folks today and found out from my dad that he was talking with the next door neighbor earlier this week while the neighbor was replacing some boards on an old barn in his yard. The discussion got around to a very old grain drill sitting there in the barn that had not been used in...

My hunt club just bought a TO-35 tractor so we're looking for all the info we can get on it. I think we are going to get a service manual for the upkeep and maintanence. If anyone here can provide some feeback on it, I would appreciate it. What are the things we should look out for on this model...

I'm very familiar with what a box blade (and a scrape blade) are capable of doing, but have never seen a roll over blade in action. So tell me, what can a rollover do that a box blade can't, and vice-versa? I don't do a whole lot of landscaping/grading so I'm not in the market for a rollover...

I looked at the red 5ft International mower (model IM502) for $500 today and I decided to hold off on it for a while. It's not a bad deal, but I really want one that's yellow or green to match the JD. I have a line on a 5ft Southern bush hog on CL that is selling for $700. Talked to the seller...

I looked at a 5ft bush hog today that I'm thinking about buying. It was made by International World Agritech out of Ohio and the model on it was M502. I Googled that and found some threads here on tractorbynet about that company. It seems that they went out of business but International...

Anyone ever heard of bush hogs made by Wallburg?? If so, are these low end units? I never had heard of them but saw them mentioned in a post on another forum and and was just curious about them. Keith

I used to have a JD 750 with a Yanmar indirect injection diesel engine in it. Now I have a JD 790 with a direct injection Yanmar engine. On the 750 the only way to turn that engine off was by shutting off the throttle completely. Turning the key off did not turn those engines off. In fact, on...

I'm looking for some adjustable "jackstands" that can be welded to the rear of the trailer so when my trailer is not hooked up to a vehicle, I can still load or unload it. Yeah, a lot of trailers have supports welded integral onto the loading ramps. My trailer has a drive on tailgate and it's...

Bought a JD 790 with FEL a couple months ago and have thoughts about my scoop pan and boom pole. I'm thinking now that I have a FEL that can do the work of both, I might just as well sell the boom pole and scoop pan. How about you folks? Does anyone with a tractor having a FEL still need a (or...

Here are two pic's of a Howse 4ft landscape rake that I bought off of CL last year for $100. It's actually made to pull behind atv's and large garden tractors with a CAT 0 3pt hitch. Well, that wasn't good enough for me so I got some 2" angle iron and cut three pieces and welded them all...
