My tactic on this is the same for all my part alteration experiences. I buy new ONCE, then fix, or have fixed the broken or bent part(s). So, I pay for the crime and have a replacement on-hand when needed ASAP. I do learn the lessons, though, too.

I just helped a couple of gals make an 6' x 10' x 5-1/2" slab for their outdoor water boiler/furnace. We used a PTO carried mixer that holds 4 80# bags. Fill, add water, churn, transport and pour. So, I operated the tractor, one of them loaded the mixer, the other moved the dumped mix into...

Well, on the bright side, all the blew states are gone. Dr. Strangelove borrowed my circular slide rule again...

Yes. In your case, you'll want the sickle anvil horizontal, so use a chain to hold the bucket in the wanted angular position. This also ensures that bucket weight back pressure doesn't build up AND to keep it from settling (as some valves tend to do. When you are done and want the curl back...

I've found that I can lock the curl aspect of my bucket and then use that circuit for a variety of flow based attachments without any speed problems. The sickle then ought to be faster than what you have going on now.

Mine does it after a heavy rain even though the stack's exhaust flow is sideways at the top. Carbon buildup is washed into clumps, then spit out.

Iv'e always had perfect reliability with my WinPower. 1st was a 50/25 with an additional 3 phase capability. Now I have a 30/20 model. Never had to be re-flashed, easy to hook up, and can even run it off my JD935 lawn mower using a pto speed reducer having a 540 output shaft. Now I run it...

That's got no bearing on the subject at hand.

What would it take to make a '2 into 1' ? Meaning 2 separate towable units in combination, then spread out for field use. I'm seeing a lot more balers and rakes done this way. It requires a beam hitch with a PTO power driveline off the back of the lead unit, then maybe a hydraulic fold out...

Pop rivets.

You don't need such power to drill holes. Try it first without using loader outlets if you have them. BTW: A front loader mounter PHD is the best way to go. I use my loader curl circuit to run it.

Well you still might have to reply with: Please keep your dogs within your property. They are scaring my cattle. Also, please tell your children and their friends that my fenced property is not THEIR new playground, so do not climb over the wire or cut it to get their new motocross bikes...

OK, how does the stalled bucked movement fit into this? Is t just an air in the lines issue, so the delays are from an air bubble moving back & forth ?

I run my 45kW Winpower off my 22hp (when new) JD F935 lawnmower. All I need is a Kill-O-Watt to show frequency and this establishes throttle position. Sure, the propeller heads will point out that the 22 hp is only good for 11kW. So what? I obviously am requiring less than 11kW to survive...

Its normal. The governor is asking for more rpm than the motor can provide, so it's excess fuel being burned.

I believe that just about all modern electronics run fine with dirty A/C because they convert the input voltage to a D.C. operating requirement in all cases. So, why worry? If still on the fence, then an inverter genny will give you what is wanted. Buy based on ratings. There are quite a few...

Loader hose connection(s) crossed ?

It's done all the time here at the local concrete plant. I had my concrete driveway replaced and the contractor took the pieces to the plant and I got some of it back mixed into the new batch after washing. Not as strong as stone.

Send a private message to me. I'll give you a phone number of a woman in Stockbridge who has been thru everything you described, solved all her needs with a used modern tractor and would give you the best advice. She deals with horses, sheep, hay, gardens, wood/logs, fences, and dogs.

Where in Michigan ? If close by, I can show you hands-on for all of your needs. Same as mine & a friends. Brighton & Stockbridge area.

Use a pressure washer. A little bit of moisture won't hurt anything, may actually help any wood sections. Mine is a Stihl electric which I feed with a raised horse trough full of water. Spider webs, poop stains, dead bugs, etc. collect on the floor. Then shop vac as required.

Block the blade from underneath with a piece of wood/log so it can't turn. Then tap it with a hammer at the spokes counter-clockwise to see if it loosens as it would if threaded. But, it looks like there is a keyway peeking out (part no. 9), (as I would expect) since a threaded pulley is...

I made one from an auction purchased hydraulic motor, frogged up an adapter to put my augers on, and bolted it up to a JD Q.A. plate (Amazon) on one of my loader arms. Runs off the curl side of the loader control stick. Hoses were the highest cost. Plus now I can see exactly where the hole is...

I don't care for the hanging frame notion because of the wooden beam materials. If & when they dry out, they will weaken, split, and possibly damage the building's roofline. Your 1500 lb mower PLUS the chains, plus the chainfall, plus the frame may put you at 500 lbs per corner. I went with a...

There are somethings potentially worse: "Can I borrow your tractor for an hour? Just need to move some rocks..." "Will you help me cut down a tree 'branch' ?". "My car is stuck in the snow, how about giving me a push ?". "My husband is out of town for a week, could you stop by and help me...

watch for your stuff on FB, craigslist, pawnshops, etc. Chances are good they'll be back with better tools and a trailer for the excavator. Bet they are neighbors who know your schedule and have a drone to scout out the properties nearby. Use the excavator to dig a tank trap so they will have...

Mix it 50-50 with paint thinner to make your own much stronger version of "Thompson's Water Seal".

Not your's. Were talking about the O.P.s here.

The tail-wheel vertical pin must be vertical to work properly, and this means the swivel has to be run under load with the deck at some designated height off the ground and with the 3 pt. hitch geometry to support this arrangement. THEN a high caster angle relative to the vertical pin should...

I have 8 windmills of all sizes & brands up and around my property. One compresses air for a pond aerator using a truck air suspension chamber connected to the pump rod with a criss-cross (pump rod pulls, chamber is compressed). A standard old, vintage, or brand new Aeromotor mill will get you...

Dunno.. Mine came from a Deere purchased new for use on a golf course which came with A-4s on it. So, the new owner bought all new turfs and sold me the R-4 titans. So, this Deere had registered tires on it. Couple of ideas: Look carefully at your sidewall brand letters, figures, numbers...

Rim guard changes all notions and specs on tire pressure because impacts don't compress incompressable fluids. The Rimguard website has recommendations for the new pressure recommendations. Couple of other things to contemplate: The tires may be too large for your tractor weight(s) to make...

I've done this. Pretty easy using the 'fish plates' from a mid-mount mower attachment dropped from the frame and 'arms' reaching forward for mounting the plow frame. Loader is off. Single stalk control gives left/right to swing left/right. Back is up and forward is down with float. I prefer a...

You can do the Rim Guard yourself if you can rent, borrow, or steal the dual nozzle and valve stems needed. Most overfill the tires which then ride poorly. You need weight for traction and for ballast to reduce the risk of rollover and pitchover. You need tires with load dependent grip, too...

Branch might have been responsible for the shutoff, but now check the pedal position if its a hydostat. Won't try to start if the pedals are in a fwd or rev. position. No power, nothing.

The blades may be throwing it off. Check to see if they all go blade left or right. If random, then you can get a random sideload instead of a preload to one side..

See that here, 12'ers. Many are older business owners who are retiring and the building(s) they own are in short supply for new ventures not needing racks.

Don't forget aout the hinge screws. 'They' usually detect the reinforced lock side, then kick in the hinge side because they generally have 1" screws in them. Use screws long enough to penetrate beyond the double studs of the door frame. Also install a double keyed deadbolt (keys) needed on...

Usually there is another bearing at the front weight bracket so there are actually TWO drove shafts being used. A long one from the mid-pto to the front bearing and a shorter one from here to the blower.

Amazon has a bunch of them, Under $40. My John Deere F-935 has a OEM one as a bolt on canister.

Here's the problem you face (technically from a Vehicle Dynamcs Authority: Me). With that much extra rear load and with trim height maintained, you face a potentially dangerous condition where the lateral stiffness of the rear tires is insufficient to manage the higher vertical load you've...

Lift the bucket off the ground and run the curl full travel range to estimate/measure the angle that you will make the the SSQ adapter have when it is attached. It might be a compromise and in the middle of the curl range. Make sure any attachments you will be purchasing will work with this...

Heat radiators for exterior wood boiler water circulation.

It's a Schnabel Car used for hauling VERY large transformers to electric power distribution centers needed by server and data farms. The "DO NOT HUMP" sign indicates it is not to be floated at a 'hump' yard where car sorting is done by free rolling them down a hill to various sidings used to...

There's a good chance loader's pins are frozen solid to the loader arm sockets. If so, and pre-heating & soaking with fluids for days don't work here's what you can do: Weld a large hard nut to one end of the loader pin. Use an impact wrench to jerk the pin loose with a hard 6 point socket on...

It's not rare at all. In at least 3 local monthly consignment auctions, There are at least 2, and many more if you are color blind. Plus the local FB Marketplace has dozens of the 61" versions. There are a few 72" ExMarks or Toros, and an occasional diesel. You can evaluate all before you...

As I mentioned in another post in this thread, I bought a 72" ExMark diesel zero-turn at an auction. Kubota motor. I also bought a gas powered 72" Toro at the same auction, which is essentially the same machine. ExMark now owns Toro (or the other way around, whatever). 2:1 fuel rate usage...

I have one. Paid $3400 from the local annual Metro-Park agency auction with 2500 hrs. Had a hose clamp loose on one of the wheel motors so it dripped a teeny tiny amount of oil in left turns. County government at it's finest...

My 1070 (pre-790) doesn't have synchronized gears. It's no big deal once you learn the throttle/rpm of the gear you are going to. Never had a problem with doing loader work. I taught a young woman how to run a baler from it (2 stage clutch). She had never operated a geared vehicle of any...

Twine disks rolling too far so trapped under knotter frame. Or, wiperarm wiper blade not tight against entire billhook face. Bend the wiper arm until it SLIGHTLY clashes.

Scalp wheels are for occasional use, not full time, so I just grease them when I feel guilty. My Deere wheels have jerks.

Worth more in parts. Sell locally & on eBay. Quite a good market for JD & Kubota parts.

My front mower runs a 76" high offset mower deck, rear discharge. It runs a broom that clears my 800' driveway of snow in 2 passes. It pulls my hayrake without the deck or broom attached. With a 2200 to 540 gear reducer, it nicely runs my 45/25 Winpower pto generator even though it's a bit...

I recently found out that my J.D. dealer sells all parts BELOW Amazon prices, PLUS no need for shipping costs if I pick them up, PLUS no sales tax if for farm use. So do your homework. BTW: my experience with Chinese tubes is that they can not be patched because rubber cement dissolves them...

#pt lift has it's own pressure relief valve. Could be stuck open or the o-ring is torn and leaking.

Spring is an inductor. When couple with a resistor, its a filter to smooth out the spark supply spike to produce a pulse.

Labeled for metal cutting. Some even indicate iron/steel or aluminum. Harbor Freight, TSC, Rural King, Lowes, Home Depot, Menards, Amazon, flea markets. I use the thin ones, less ablation, easier to run curves.

They put tiny little rev counters in them. When the count times rpm divided by roll angle and left front tire pressure goes over 1500, the alternator phones the factory via a Bluetooth link for permission to disable the field current. What else could it be ???

I found out my Samsung S20 and S22 phones don't support the DLI Flight software. Be sure to check out their list of supported phones, OR: buy a used phone that works with the drone you choose !

There may be future leaks & splits on the way, for both sides probably. I suggest you get the new tires, drain as much fluid if the fluid is other than salt water. Beet juice is expensive. Save this stuff. If you depend on your tractor for daily or weekly use, bad tires when you need the...

Foton or Nortrac branded....

Never heard of this brand Lovol ?? https://www.audacy.com/wwjnewsradio/news/local/michigan-state-police-asking-for-help-finding-stolen-tractor

Yessir. I'd say the original conical bolt was intended to keep the joint tight. And, for all we know, the bolt may be conical because of its loose fitting after starting out in life as cylindrical. These couplings are usually just cast steel so not a lot of trouble. But keep the holes you...

I'd drill it to be cylindrical and use a tight fit ordinary bolt. Done.

Kinked hose/pipe, collapsed hose? try this: jack it up so both wheels ar off the ground with the axle level. Put tap or paint a line on both tires so that looking from the rear, the lines are aligned horizontal. start it and trap both handles together with the engine idling. You should...

Can you return to square 1 and tweak tire pressures to get it straight ?

pto shaft assembled incorrectly? sounds like its not phased correctly. bought new or used (as in "worked as intended just before it stb'd.").

Bad condensor ? Trip the points manually (momentary short) and see if a spark is generated.

My F-935 72" front deck REAR discharge mower knocks down orchard grass like what you have, while my F1435 72" front deck SIDE discharge stalls because the deck chokes. I believe same motor as yours in both.

Perect for starting fluid, its a liquid form. Ether is purely an invisible gas. Will only stay in the tire.

That will be a problem because the air supply connector senses the valve presence, so no joy. You need a special adapter used with tire changers that passes air with or without the valve inserted.

you could run an external pump to drive higher flow rates, but id upgrade the motor in the digger to spin it better faster or with more torque first. BTW most of these hydraulic diggers are used on skid steers as mentioned above (good observation !) so trade it for a scut version.

I made my own hydraulic digger from a garage sale motor and my current pto auger drill. I used one of the plates from a JD loader QA to mount it one 1 of the loader arms. Nice to see forward to where the hole is needed, especially when its for post replacement in a current fence. The loader is...

make sure the valve in the schraeder nipple is removed while doing this to get higher air flow and have your air supply connected while you are blasting it. There's a pail of corn starch putty you can buy that can help by sealing the bead area immediately. Then it oozes out as the tire fills...

Turn knob the other way.

Pressure washer with 'spot remover' injection.

Yep. Hard to find. Most are Maxi Ex's

if its that important and would be called upon to save my property, I'd trade it for a tractor that would do the jobs required, including loader, pump, pto generator, pto blower/broom. All for prep & recovery from a field/forest fire.

The N.Y. State Special: "I can fix that broken headlight you are about to have for $30."

check the safeties again, especially parking brake and cruise control. once, i had trouble with the pto brake sensor slightly out of position. (if you have these features.) its electrical if you can force the pto lever into the engagement position and the deck spins up.

My 1435 & F935 diesel mowers both smoke black going up a hill in high grass. I believe the governor is calling for more rpm but its falling behind, hence a constant, full, fuel load is being delivered but not helping the rpm. Once the rpm comes up, they are fine. so: torque related: cut the...

Sounds like the hydraulic pressure relief valve has some schmutz floating around in it. You can pull it out and inspect. Sometimes the O-ring gets pinched and a small tear will let it leak, too. Max out pressure demanded (rpm up, loader overloaded) and see if it clears up. Could be worse...

Same blades. Rear discharge clippings spend less time in the whirlwind so exit larger. Also, the side discharge can't handle 18" field grass & weeds. No problem with the rear discharge. Same reason.

I have both on JD front mowers. Besides the covers & flaps needed to protect the underbelly from crud off the rear, there is a difference in the cut look. Rear discharge gives me a 'pasture' look. side discharge produces that golf course look.

Hay dogs in the downstream bale case ? They have nothing to do with the twine grab off the needles. A few videos on Youtube showing knotter sequences and completion.

Diagram shoes 1 spring #4 143224 $38.00 I'd go to a hardware store and get a spare. The goal should be to have good, fast, smooth motion of the tucker fingers with no slop, specific clearance to the needles during their rise, and then get the hell out of there.

This is a long wheelbase EV from Advanced Electronics. 48V battery, 4 wheel brakes, high & low beam headlights, horn, backup alarm, folding side fences, stiff rear leaf springs. I had 16 heavy square bales on it and crawled up a 13% grade like the bales were not even there. Moves heavy...

go to a junk yard and look for separate truck oil coolers from trailer packages..

Funny to me, as I look back, the tractor I wanted the most but never got was my age with 3 zeros. so you youngsters can save a lot of money by buying NOW !

Michigan has an online vanity license plate ordering system. They can tell you that a plate is already taken and, if not, how it appears. you can print off the image and probably cover over your actual plate. They wanted one of these back. Guess which one. Sent a State Police K-9 unit to...

here are the 2 conversion kits I'm familiar with QA and SSQA

What is the center - to center spacing of your loader arms in the front view ?

There are 3 kinds of QA loader interfaces: Skid Steer, JD, and Universal. You have to decide which one works best for you AND what attachments & features you think you will be using. I bought the JD system because I saw so many problems with flimsy plates, disconnections, handle levers not...

I don't recommend a mid-mount mower. Mine sits unused for 20 years. PITA to mount & dismount, not so great in corners. Can be difficult to trailer because the deck clips the ramps at the edge of the trailer. Harder to access the blades for sharpening or change out. Instead a 6' or 7' rear...

Her 7 pin connector for a 5055 JD probably looks like this. Id. presume you can piggy-back 12V and ground by add 2 extra wires to the current sprayer feed (so to speak !). You get what you Voltaged for....

Buy one WITH a loader already fitted to it with controls. Used tractors like these have high prices because they are in demand: no electronic B.S. ("hey whats code 41.2.3a mean"), no DEF, clutchless, trailerable, plenty of H.P. even to cut & bale hay, fit in a garage, easy to operate & service...

I have found it works wonderfully with a standard car battery on my AE long wheelbase work cart. I found a RAV4 trailer hitch that fits it perfectly and then found a hitch carrier at an estate sale. It holds a 25 gallon spray tank. The pump is what you have shown and has the on-demand...

City folks are going to starve.

Eddie: Off topic, but you and your wife can share 1 Prime membership and save an extra monthly charge. You both will have separate charge accounts/payment methods. You tell Amazon who and what their email is, they send a notice to your added member, when they respond, you get a joint account...

Because of the rotational direction of the blades, 1 direction of tractor turning raises the effective blade speed, the other reduces the blade speed. So: Make sure the pto rpm is correct (540) and slow down your tractor turn speed so you don't outrun the inboard blade. Same thing with an...

I bought this gearbox as a reducer to scale 2100 rpm down to 540 for running my PTO genny off my lawnmower. It goes both ways, so to speak...

It certainly is a clever & appealing concept. I'd presume that the battery is chargeable by regen during braking, but the trailer motors are not engaged full time for propulsion because you want a good battery level when you get to the camping site. To me, the best feature is the...

I've have a Delmhorst meter for over 25 years. The 'calibration' check (hand moisture level) is changing yearly, but isn't the green zone under 20% ?

My table saw, equipped with a metal cutting wheel, cuts more steel than wood. If your friend needs to use your track saw, have them buy one.

Someone in Owosso is advertising freshly baled hay.

I've had that problem. I found it to be caused by the vertical alignment of the idler pulley just before the belt heads to the transmission. Probably from heavy tugging on the belt while mowing very tall weeds. When the going gets rough, the extra pull makes the belt climb up and off the...

2 questions: Could you add a 2nd or 3rd mower to the pack ? My neighbor uses 3 gas mowers in tandem. Can you manage to operate the mowers while sitting in the tractor operation seat position ? Ideal ditch/bank mower setup !

Looks like a heavy tongue load based on the size of the surge brake hardware. What does the boat+trailer weigh ? Doesn't look like the surge brake lockout was set, so she tried to back up a heavy trailer with it's brakes locked up. I'd guess any hitch condition would fail. You can trick...

There's a war with China coming, according to our Defense Secretary (and the Chinese of course), this will change the 'landscape' of the US economy forever. 5 years is way too far ahead to plan. I went with land (they stopped making it quite a while ago), house in the center, no neighbors...

It's not the heat from excess bearing conditions, but usually water vapor from the atmosphere going in and out as the air pressure changes, or the hubs see water from rain. Those caps are usually tapered in a manner that they want to come out, so any little inside pressure will do the job.

The wheel bearing may be too tight, producing more heat that normal. Supposed to be 1 flat off from slightly tight. Make sure the Cotter pin isn't interfering with the cap.

Will there be a break where the apron joins the main slab plane ?

I bought a very similar Ford tractor model under exactly the same circumstances. Turns out the Ford fuel flow lever at the filter in the motor compartment points 90 degrees off of the direction for flow. The fuel was shut off. 2 minutes after I paid the guy, I turned the valve and drove it...

You (and others) presume that all the power capacity will be called on at exactly the same time (as in startup). But who actually does this ? Dryer, microwave, stove, A/C, all the garage door openers, well, etc. all waiting in the wings for you to fire it up, or do you think you could manage...

You pee at 6:00 a.m., poop at 6:30 a.m., and wake up at 7:00 a.m. !

Move the hydro pedals just a little to engage the starter circuit. If they are a bit off, you get the condition you describe.

You have plenty of power to run a 7' or 9' sickle type haybine and a small square baler. I even pulled a 4 place snowmobile trailer behind my JD 14T baler with a 22 h.p. Yanmar (std transmission and NO live power or independent pto). Plenty of Youtube videos showing that it's no big deal. I...

Is it supposed to come out by driving it downward ? That would also be a safety feature to prevent unintended dismounting.

I bought tubes for my 1435 tires (your size) on Amazon and they were the more expensive ones, but they are twice as thick as the first go-around. Two suggestions come to mind: Inspect the wheels for weld flash that may puncture the tube because the wheel was originally designated as tubeless...

Is that a Shibaura motor or similar ? Those I'm familiar with (In Ford & NH machines) need glow plugs even for a hot start.

I have one for irrigation. You prime it and get out of the way. Knocked me off my feet when the prime hit !

... when you stop buying green bananas.

Tubes with 'flaps'. These are like wide rubberbands that go between the tube and the tire inner-liner. They will absorb/deflect most thorn tread punctures. Just another level of protection.

Dualled tires are always better for handling stability because: instead of 1 tire pushed nearly to it's peak for lateral capability needs, you have 2 tires faced with the same challenge but running at about 1/2 their vertical load. But, trailer makers play a game with this because they can use...

Here's a friend starting out for the first time doing what you are asking about. 28 hp and a 7' NH haybine purchased at a junk auction. She painted it up and put new decals on it. 240 bales worth here. Tractor doesn't complain one bit. I forgot to tell her that you need at least 150 hp to...

I have a JLG T-350 battery powered towable lift. It certainly changes the way you work by giving you safe access to heights. I use mine for installing & servicing my collection of old farm windmills. Tree trimming, even to repair flags stuck up on a 30' pole. Painted the barn, etc. Mine...

Where in Michigan ? I'm in Brighton. Stop buy and I will give you the low down. It's more than just an animal feed supply task because it has tax, kid education & learnings, plus self-satisfaction points and a chance to buy some great & useful tools. I just went thru the same 'edumication'...

Friend of mine has a Toro Zero turn 72" for sale here in Michigan. Same as the Exmark version. She went with Exmark diesel version so tractors and mower all run the same fuel. No need for gas anymore. All cleaned up, greased & oiled ready to fly. $6000.

Make up a model of your configuration with soda straws and super glue. Then you should be able to recognize where the deficiency is: It will 'matchbox' and sag at the unhinged end. If it really must be that wide of a gate, put rollers on it and a good weatherproof guide track so that it...

How about just replacing the bearing & seal ? Although I don't blame you for wanting a complete new part.

This husband & wife have a company that does some incredible work with all kinds of machinery repair. Be sure to watch the out-takes ! Check out the articulated crane at the very beginning.

I'll bet its the water pump bearing if the fan is on the pump shaft.

No, but a cheap date can be had by putting a huge weight on the back 3pt and then picking up a 2 ton rock with a chain on the corner of the bucket. When you are done, do it on the other side !

Put gauge wheels on them and let the attachment float independently of the tractor pitch angle.

Gotta look like this, not with inside joints 90 degrees off. But, I see your diagram shows a small button on 1 side of the male shaft that plugs into a corresponding indentation groove in the female shaft. If that's how it goes together, it may be ok and the problem is elsewhere.

Check to see if your PTO shaft is assembled incorrectly. The internal shaft yokes must line up. If not, you will get a bad shake at high shaft angles. Newer shafts have dimensional and pattern shapes to prevent this from happening while older ones with square shafts often were put together wrong.

He said it's F E M A L E ! Grind down a 1/2" extension and get it done.

"Cleanup under hose 37" !

For twin hose apps: One problem cause is that both hose ends usually have male fittings. If you exchange these (and you must also change them on the pressure source) to a male & female setup, you can plug the two ends of the attachment hoses together. This keeps dirt, water, and pressure...

Several brands of cabs available. Most of the time, the sound insulation sealing strips are not there. I do wear ear muffs when the leaf vac trailer is behind because the two motors together are pretty loud.

I have a used JD F935 diesel 2 tanks. 72" side discharge and 76" rear discharge decks. Side for lawn, rear for fields. Runs my PTO genny with a step-down gearbox, too. Bought at auction from the State Metro-parks division. I just picked up a used J.D. 1435 4wd diesel 72" side discharge deck...

Old adage: "The best land planes of mice & men often go astray".

Nice ! Is that a front anti-roll bar mechanism on the links to the front axle ? First I've ever seen this, if true, and still wonder why more tractors aren't so equipped...

My JD 60" broom has replaced my 7' snow pusher box and my 8' plow for my long concrete driveway snow removal. Plow & pusher were on my JD1070. Broom is on my JD 1435 front mower. It serves year-round, too, for dust, dirt, mud, branches, evergreen needles, and weeds. Can make a LOT of dust in...

My large hickories drop twigs, branches, nuts, and nut shells. My front mount 60" broom windrows them nicely followed by my 72" front deck connected to the trailer leaf vac behind it. Collects 100% of what remains. Make nice firepit fuel.

So much for horse 'cribbing' as mentioned above. I'd like to share my experiences. First of all, don't space your posts 6.0' or 8.0' or 10.0' feet apart. You'll regularly be replacing boards posts and the new boards that you find cheap may not be a perfect length. So space them at least 6"...

No problem. The hoses, wheels, tires, axles, spindles, cylinders, loader mounts, and loader arms are all replaceable. Your wife says even YOU are !

Yes it is. l did all that with 22 hp. Even cut, raked and baled hay. Some are uneasy about the weight effect on loader work. That's why they make weight boxes. I'd forget about a mid-mount mower. Hard to put on & off, in the way for ground clearance, blade changing is a pain unless you...

All the above, but I'd like to add a provision that you pick the range & gear which results in the tach at about 1/2 max rpm. This stays away from the peak engine torque, it will keep the drive wheels from skidding, and you will have sufficient hydraulic pressure to have good steering control...

Here is an exploded view of the valve from the J.D. Tech Manual. Don't ask me why it's upside down.

Swinging to the side helps if you only turn in 1 direction.

The big money to be made is from losing it to buy stuff that your HAY BUSINESS needs. This take an accountant and a business name and stuff to depreciate. The goal is to get you into a lower tax bracket. I had a decent haying tractor already, but bought a junk rake, junk baler, and a worn...

You also need a mower of some sort, also low power requirement. I've run a NH479 9' haybine with 22 hp, not even live power. Then a rake to gather the cut hay ready for baling. Hard to wreck a small baler. Wet hay is the only one I can think of, other than trying to bale a bale already made...

If you believe that an electric actuator can be as simple, strong, and comfortable to operate as hydraulics, just drive a car with hydraulic steering versus the numb feel of electric torque management. I question even 48 Volts. But having a useless EV laying around as a Miller Bobcat clone is...

We took a 37 loader off using forks from another tractor. Had to triangulate the chains because of the odd center of gravity. Could you come up with another hydraulic supply and latch it into the loader circuit? With weight in the bucket, the arms with raise up and you can back away from it.

I picked up a JD-1435 front mower plus I also have a JD-935, an earlier version. Both are diesels with 72" mowers. The 935 has a rear discharge deck and chomps thru old hay fields no sweat. It also serves as the powerplant for my pto driven home generator. On the 1435 I have a 60" broom with...

Pick a brand associated with a dealership network very close-by, and one with a likelyhood of existing in 20 years. That leaves just a couple. In my case, I have 4 JD dealerships within 15 miles, a Rural King, and several TSCs. I have a 35 HP CUT and do my own hay with a square baler, 9'...

Wife: " I told you to saw off a few inches to lighten the weight."

Red is ALWAYS faster. It's a scientific fact...

Ah ! On it's way to be painted it's proper color I hope.

These are easy to install & remove. The lift arm pucks come out and the ramps then bolt in their place. I have marks on the floor to indicate placement when re-installing. Word of caution, though: The mower wheel tracks need to be the same otherwise the machine won't settle in safely.

I like my Twin-post very much because it's not really used for car or truck stuff. Here's what my take is: I used it to position and install the fully loaded 34" tires on my 1070 tractor. Stand them up on one of the arms, drive tractor in, remove old tire & wheel, hang on the other arm. Swing...

If you want to know the REAL reason, listen up: If the axles were more centered, the center of gravity of the rig would be right around the center of the 2 axles. With a load placed on it, this location would pretty much be the same. Given the total mass of trailer + load, the yawing...

Several for sale around here. Commercial golf course greens mower. Ransomes Frontline 728D Perkins 81 cu.in. 3 cyl 28 h.p. Typically $5000. J.D. and Toro have similar architecture models. You could have 5 log splitters all running at the same time !

try greasing or oiling the common pedal shaft. There may just be a little too much friction.

Get some forks for it. Looks like that a self-leveling loader. Nize....

Get him a golf cart. Why put him thru this. Junk the p.o.s. Or, what could be done to repair the bad axle shaft? Make new use the ends, Make new, grind in new splines. Replace with some other nearly compatible brand ?

Turns out my J.D. dealer sells on Amazon. The price for a new radiator screen panel was cheaper at the dealership than from the Az shopping cart. Plus no sales tax for AG purchases at a store here. But always watch the reviews, some with a grain of salt. Ignore the complaints about having...

It is. The reducer sits above the deck gearbox. The shaft is long enough to extend out to it. Because the input is coaxial to the 'tractor's pto, there is no phasing issue/problem as it remains in a C.V. configuration..

I use an Elomatic speed reducer (intended to INCREASE pto speed for pumps, compressors, generators, etc.) to operate my PTO genny off of my F935 2000 rpm mower drive pto. Yes, the genny runs backwards and there is redundant speed down and speed up in the system. It's good for 12kW which is...

Whenever it snows, I use my dozer for plowing. Never had it fail. Very hard on the driveway, though, I've had to replace 800' of 5" concrete 3 times already.

All that stuff is going down the sewer at an accelerating rate. Which generation will elect a Chinese president ?

Buy a CAT-erpiller tractor. Turn in the bear Cub.

I'm not complaining at all. In fact I admire their awesome solution to crime. No need for prisons, just turn criminals into night soil. In my visit(s) there they have addressed the race, education, dei, woke, and military service issues, suitable to my liking. I admired their almost religious...

Guess who's buying a lot of it up ! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-18/china-is-buying-up-us-farmland-but-just-how-much-isn-t-clear My buddy in Az. is complaining because the water rationing going on there doesn't apply to foreign land owners.

Pull out the glow plugs and test to see if a direct connection to a battery makes them glow after 5 seconds. If they are dead, the control may give up.

What does it cost to rent a tiller of any size, then how long to do the whole area, given the width of the machine. I was asked to till a back lawn a few years ago in prep for lawn seeding. It was the day before the Super Bowl. Yes I found his buried cable TV... Ooops. He had to cancel his...

The joystick movement ought to have nothing to do with fluid content. Check to see if there is a lever or pin feature to lockout the circuits. My Deere has one for when curl or lift is not needed or wanted when using a separate 3rd function on my snow plow. My lever is located at the bottom of...

Well you are in the Southern Hemisphere, and an island nation, so your belt AND your blades turn the opposite direction. Can't use Northern Hemisphere parts because they will take the old grass clippings and reattach them to the sprouts. Sorry, Mate !

Yeah, that means it shoulda done just fine on the 29 h.p.

I ran a 6' Yanmar tiller on 22 h.p. Yanmar Keep your speed under 30 mph and you'll do fine. I even tilled my gravel driveway with it. Wore the tines out, made a hell of a noise, but did a nice job.

I don't view rebar, chairs, or other support elements as giving better bending strain relief. And it's strain not stress that's the problem. The rerod is just there to keep the broken pies in relative position (IMHO). In order to minimize slab stress, the rebar needs to be pre-stretched as is...

I'd say that the only parts involved in a repair are needles, knotter frames, bill hooks, plunger guides, and pickup teeth. (not in a likelyhood order of needing). If you go ahead with some wet hay, needles usually pay the price. Pickup teeth are next just because of mileage. this is not...

I went with a battery powered saw. Game over.

Having Left & Right brakes on the tractor is one method I use. This immediately changes the tow angle. If you keep high air pressure in the front tires, then their scrub torque is low. Then you can use chains or straps to eliminate the wagon steer angle and back it up just like a conventional...

Is it the 47 model ? I have one that I put on an F935. Same problem. Now I use a broom and no longer use it. Wonder if there is a different reduction gear in it for gas vs. diesel...

Try to find a FB group specific to metal working. Here's a guy I bought a dog from. All CNC, 3D cad setup, and in need of stainless sheets.

On a similar note, these Stihl chain saws are crap. I tried to cut a section of a stihl I beam with a saw that was supposed to be good for a 10" cut and the chain broke, bar twisted, and the motor froze up. My 1970's red one is also junk (but I did buy it from an appliance store).. What is...
