How much of this is due to tractors having much longer useful lives than any other major machine or vehicle? I don't see people around here changing tractors every 3 - 5 years.

Just went thru a 4400 owned by the county and purchased at their annual equipment auction. A REALLY nice machine, Quick starting even in 20 deg weather. Hydrostat. ~35 hp. The perfect haying tractor for a beginner. 4WD with QA equipped loader. Easy on and off. This machine could not be...

An amazing young woman I know bought a used JD4400 from the County that ha some mechanical and other issues, including worn turf (R3) tires. The R3's were filled with RimGuard. She was able to drain out the RimGuard into buckets (a LOT of buckets). Then she bought some R4s and proceeded to...

I went with Humana as a supplement 6 years ago. Plan G. 3 months in to it, prostate cancer surgery total cost $125K. My total out of pocket was ZERO. Last year Humana called to say that I wasn't using enough of Plan G to warrant the extra monthly price. So, reduced it to $100/ month. BTW: I...

BTW: More, better pictures on other news sources. I wouldn't have put a jet ski on that trailer, tires were beyond worn & underinflated. Poor guy didn't have a driver's license. How do you figure it now ?

I thought they were rat schit strps.:ROFLMAO:

Clean all the grease & schmutz off of it and paint it red or yellow whn pulled back. Then look for the paint scrapes when you get it in and out of coupling. Then grind the area where the paint tell-tale is. Of course, the collar may be oblonged because of an over travel. Can you roll it...

I got a 30 x 96" plastic container for patio cushion storage off of Marketplace for $15. An old "Deliveries Only" metal sign got turned into "Deliveries". I have a driveway alarm sender right there. It sets off my railroad crossing lights & bell and also a rotating red light halfway up to the...

What about the plastic cement used for plumbing ?

Glitter bomb.

I only use Extra Virgin Olive oil in my machines. I fill all my tires with argon and only eat sunflower seeds.

Put some dish soap around the valve stem. Tubeless Shraeder valves can leak at the rim after a while. Wiggle it around a bit. Include the valve area with soap, too.

Complete waste of time. Tractor pressure will blow the ram apart. Awkward control position, wood in location A. Controls in location B. Dangerous if 2 person's trying to work together. Most common cylinder size is a 4"x24". Thats 15 tons at 2500 psi. Used splitters all over the place...

What I've learned is don't follow one around a corner. Their drivers seem to be afraid of rolling over and slow down to the point of dragging a large line of normal cars down in speed. Unfortunately, they go 65 in the high speed lane on an expressway and 80+ in the right lane. But, very...

This has never happened on my Green tractor. This one probably assembled by a 'repeated 3rd grade student' with a cell phone in 1 hand and a pipe in the other.

I've had one in use many times. More than just house backup. Portable power anywhere. You don't need to run it 24/7. Just fire it up long enough to get a water reserve, heat or cool in the house, batteries charged, refrigerator cold and shut it down. Fire it up again after a few hours or...

So, I dig an 8" hole, plop in a 6" post, and there's not enough dirt to fill in the remaining volume ????? So, I cruise our gravel road, bucket lip down a bit, scoup up some fill and redirect it to the problem at hand. Yes I move the tractor as the auger goes down. When it's all the way in, I...

I'll bet you can back up the hill. That means fuel pickup problem.

These 'swivels' allow you to install the hose. Otherwise, you would have to wind up the hose in quite a few turns in order to tighten it. Other end is fixed, last connection has a flare fitting to let you tighten it. Once tightened, it's a no swivel joint. Hoses can take 90 degrees of twist...

As hyperinflation takes hold (a year's price increase rate in 1 month), I'm seeing register prices way above shelf prices. A shop can just go in and increase all items in 1 swell foop and not bother to nick the shelf or package prices. I'm waiting for a Giant Size chocolate bar to be $3.00 and...

There should be a rear PTO safety switch in a wiring diagram. I don't see it. On another page ? I also see parking brak safety switch and clutch safety switch. INOP ?

A gal pal of mine has had no trouble buying a used of abused 20 year old tractor, putting a new battery and cables on it, straightening the bendd in SHEET METAL, and putting on R4 tires then flipping it for a 100% profit. (double what she paid for all the new stuff (parts are still available)...

Mine has metal tank behind the seat. So much easier to fill. No chance of spilling fuel near a hot engine.

I by Deere simply because I want to be able to get parts and repairs in 15 years from now. What I do see is everybody looking for 80s and 90s machines because of the DEF issue.

Your tank's fuel pickup hose is in the front of it. If this line has a crack or perforation in it, then an uphill climb will expose this crack to air and lead to stalling. Then after some cranking, air gets pulled through and it starts again. Otherwise, maybe a safety switch is borderline and...

I think selling the stands would be the way to go. I'd try to sell them back to the original trespassers, maybe even lucky enough to do it a few times before they catch on. By all means post and fence if possible. Time to get a survey done, too. Sooner or later someone may try to acquire it...

Tire and Tube Mounting Compound REM 46634-8 lb. Pail. $30. He doesn't have trouble airing the tire, just pushing the beads out to the rim. I just mounted 4 R4s on wide wheels easily with this stuff. Its like very super thick Vaseline. Gob it in the space between the tire bead and the rim on...

I use my FLIR themal camera at night to find warm spots. Then a frog spear to finish the job. Pretty amazing how much tunneling exists and how much traffic they generate.

Put some more air in the steered tires. If they are Turf (R3) switch to R4's (loader tires with stiff sidewalls). You should expect a difference in assist force in one direction because the boost cylinder has a rod in it and thus cuts down the area that the hydraulic pressure acts on. If your...

Well it is a Blu-Tooth connection, eh ? Next will be a wireless bridge and a router canal.

Friend's truck is Tina, her mowers are Zambo (as in Zamboni ice resurfacer) and Sambo (maybe followed by Mambo, Slambo, and Dambo or Blambo) depending on what she hits..

Back in the '80's, I worked on a hydrogen vehicle platform at GM using a fuel cell to power an electric car. The EV1 was supposed to receive such a cell (joint venture between GM & Cornell University & BMW). But, the State of Kalifornia backed out of an agreement to allow hydrogen fueling...

Mine's 40x60 2 story, center aisle, concrete block with 2 offset flat roof slabs. Windows where the slabs come together. I have added a 2-post car lift for occasional use mostly with the mowers and farm machinery. A special concrete floor is needed for it. But, here is my real suggestion...

So, it s IS a sex toy. !

Don't use a rigid top link. Chain instead while mowing. While transporting, no need to raise it completely off the ground. If still too heavy, use as much iron weight as you can safely clamp on.

My immediate thought is that you will be welding right near a gasoline supply. Next is plug needs a change out. That welder probably has at least a 30 or 50 amp male cord end. Not so on the generator. But then, there is the potential for a "here, hold my beer" moment. Do it outside...

The only problem I see is when using mesh. It must be on stand-ups, otherwise it lays on the bottom and won't work to keep cracked sections together.

I have an "Alligator Warning" sign out back, accompanied a few feet away by a 10' fiberglass full sized replica. Funny, seems like hot air balloons no longer are landing there. Thought maybe they'd want to pet it....

That's because 'visitors' have become bothersome, uninvited, beggars, 'inspectors', trespassers, utilities trying to claim easements, 'borrowers', and wanderers. They hear things and call the cops, they can't fix anything and dump their old crap at the end of the road. They want sidewalks on a...

I miss the crime, the trouble makers, the rude drivers, the self-centered shoppers, the noisy neighbors, the perps looking in my back yard, the need to lock my doors, the HOA letters about a weed in my driveway, the warnings from the city water department about a boil water advisory, and the 30...

In any event, kind Sir, just click here to receive your Wallmat gift certificate.

It was 1 bullet passing thru 2 people. Killing the first person in line. Even if a cartridge had a bullet in it, why did he point it at his cinematographer? Should have been a stunt person, a rustler, a water bucket, or a robber. Only other feeling I have is that someone placed a live round...

A JD4310 single piece wheel is that size. Takes a 43x16-20 R4 LVA12001. A 3038e wheel will fit, too.

There is no mechanical connection between the steering column and the steering cylinder like current cars and trucks have. Any seal leakage will re-zero the flow valve and that's your new straight ahead.

Not EXACTLY sure what your 'pocket gopher' is. But: Woodchucks are susceptable to .223 Hornady. We have moles and voles that occasionally dig tunnels in the lawn. I take out my FLIR thermal camera at night and look for the hot spots. Then a 'frog spear' tends to discourage any further...

Short wheelbase, power up and angle plus vertical float. $100 scrapyard truck plow. Wide enough to shove snow mounds off to the side, easy & fast to attach (2 bolts and a pin + 4 hydraulic lines), and low side thrust moment. 1000 psi cylinders work just fine with my 2000 psi loader lines. I...

First of all, there will ALWAYS be a tendency to steer off in one direction because a cylinder has unequal areas due to the rod. Next, It might be a rear problem. Check your tire pressures and wear state. Look for a dragging brake. Plus you can compensate for the pull by adding air to one...

Since dead people started to vote, the price of cold went down. Also you can burn all those extra mail-in votes if you need heat. Mail carrier brought us over 20 apiece last year. Called "Sample Ballots", they all apparently worked just fine.

Gums up injector plungers just fine. Got a Ford 3000 for junk price because their grampa was a Planet Savior. 3 new plunger's $100. Giveaway 3000: Priceless.

The coming Depression will shake out a lot of these 'woke' work issues. A warning from my dead parents who lived thru the 1930's: Pull your money from the banks and bonds, and stuff it in the refrigerator. Those wanting to end the glory of the USA are winning and closing in on the kill...

In Michigan, it's illegal to flee the scene if you hit a pet while you're operating a vehicle. If you hit a pet, you must stop your car and remain at the scene. You must either make contact with the pet's owner and exchange information or call the police. That being said, there are now people...

I think its a mistake to use the past outage history as a predictor of future generation needs. Electric cars will overload the capacity, reliability and durability of our power grid. I'm expecting monthly if not weekly outages, even just for 1 hour or so to have rolling black-outs. Stash...

I'm betting that somebody 'turned up' the motor to get 'more power' and defeated the fuel settings to escape emissions rules. So now, a rich fuel ratio is indeed passing thru, burning i the exhaust manifold, increasing combustion temps, pumping out nitrogen oxide and providing that good old...

Every machine needs a sticker: "This Machine Wants to Kill You".

Why make it 10' wide ? You planning a 1 time use and leave it in the main road? I found a landscape rake with 300# of suitcase weights worked the best for me. 8' rake angle 45 degrees. Makes a nice crown after going both directions. If the gravel was too rough or buried, I took my rototiller...

Cars and trucks use open center hydraulic systems. In a rack and pinion type "steering gear" A pump (specified in gallons per minute) supplies flow all the time. Flow rates are generally in the 2 to 4 gallons per minute. The steering gear "Top Hat" contains a special pinion with a valve...

My JD F935 equivalent tractor with the 76" deck is in the same boat. My rear discharge deck is greatly offset to the left. I have put reflective strips on the edge of the deck and the bright white LED lights on the rear bumper. I also fastened the yellow guide sticks used on snow plows...

Make a list ...

Jack stand suggests it a side-hill mower. Be nice for smoothing fresh concrete.

I run my NH479 haybine with a 35hp Deere. You need a live or 2-stage pto to work the best. I easily ran the same mower with a 22hp Yanmar 20 years ago even with a single stage pto/drive clutch. Tongue weight can be high but that's what iron front weight are all about. I use a 2-way cylinder...

The reason shampoo bottles have to have instructions printed on them. Good grief...

Your "bent" trailers are actually pre-stressed so under loading conditions, a bending moment diagram is nice and straight. Same a pre-stressed concrete beams.

I made my own from a barn sale hyd.motor. Made a cage for it that swivels so the auger is always vertical in all planes. Mounted off the sie of the bucket so I can see clearly where it will be starting to drill. Run it off the curl circuit and no problems. Nice feature is that it's...

Hose clamps or industrial tie-wraps.mount it offset and below the top of the roll hoop. Trees & brush will knock it off. Maybe even your garage door.

1). Lock-Tite. 2). Drill small holes in the bolt heads and wire tie them together. 3). Make sure the hitch pin is exactly midway between the pto U-joint cross on the tractor and the U-joint cross on the baler's drive shaft. This gives the driveline approximately constant velocity and will...

Picked this up at a local farm auction. Looks to be a front snow plow attachment frame that was adapted for some tractor or loader. Has a single hydraulic cylinder for raising and lowering. Looks to be a former OEM frame with some added welded on arms. Skid Steer. wheel loader? All ideas...

No big deal. Flip up the knotter frame on that side and proceed to remove old one. But figure out why the original one broke. Excess twine wrapped around it and the wipe sheared of the billhook ? Wiper is probably bent now, so when it's reassembled, bend the wiper back into position so it...

Yes they do. Why not toss it into a dog swimming pool and see if you can make the valve stem bubble.

You have to buy the right tractor brand, size(h.p.), and fuel type. Inflation is coming BIG time, too. Real goods like tractors keep their intrinsic value, assuming you don't break all the parts on it from overloading, abusing, bending, storage, and loaning out to morons and idiots.

What does "starter motor shot" mean ? No crank, pullout frozen, brushes burned up, battery dead, battery cables corroded, bad ground frame to motor, seat switch bad, left in gear, solenoid contacts worn out, etc.

You need a PTO reverser to run a JD 47 snowblower on F-900 etc. Series mowers. BTW: I ran my WinPower PTO alternator off my F-935 without a reverser and it all worked just fine.

A quality dealer is my highest priority. That means warranty, parts, delivery, attachment, and packages of tractor + implements. BTW: I looked at all the RK [Yanmar rebadged] tractors a few days ago. On the floor were about 6 models to compare side by side. Quite surprized on the prices...

When the input and output shafts are CO-LINEAR (Don't have to be CO-AXIAL) then the U-joints need to be aligned with the yokes of the inner parts of the driveshaft at zero angle. Otherwise you need a phase angle to produce constant velocity. In this case (pto output and deck input), the...

Mover the lower ends of these braces to the inside of the deck fittings.

Looks to me like it was never set-up correctly in the first place. The rearward verticals ought to be vertical (same side of risers). An impact and the right sockets ought to fix this in just a few minutes. Don't use a solid top link unless it has a swinging tensioner. Also watch out for...

If you put a chainsaw blade on backwards, you have 2 choices: Run the motor backwards (takes a different recoil setup), or leave the motor off (save the environment) and use it like a handsaw. If you are REALLY handy, you can change it back to normal without shutting the motor off (in case of...

I'm limited to 300 yards, but the .50 BMG clink can still be heard. I see that Home Depot & Lowes employ subcontractors to deal with spring plant sales. Shopping carts with pressure tanks on them with water & air to take care of plants and trees. How about a fire fighting sprayer? Send it...

I haul 32' windmill towers on a trailer with a 16' bed. Flags on the back. No problem. Width is the legal issue. The photo you want to show is with the truck and trailer on a flat level surface. Whether it's going to be a problem for you will depend on your traveling rig speed, tire load...

Cut a piece of a truck or trailer mud flap into same shape as metal one. It folds out of the way.

Its not as easy as just throwing them on a boat. They have to pass rigid tailpipe emissions, evaporative emissions, crashworthiness, stability control, rollover, passby noise, stopping distance, lighting & visibility standards, trailer towing, wet traction, and a few other Federal requirements...

Your 'forks' are "needles". Your 'stopper' is the "plunger". Watch a youtube video on how any baler's mechanisms work. BTW: by being from Nowhere you loose out on help that might be nearby. Who knows what happened but somewhere along the line a chain might have slipped a tooth and now the...

Our Miss Dig Service can find all types of wires & pipes for homeowners. They put a radio frequency on the line and follow it. I recommend a bride just to get it done safely.

Is this with an implement attached ? and the driveshaft shield is making the noise. Normally you don't engage warp drive without a prop shaft connected.

10 piles of $1,000 in bundles of 100s is not that thick. And even those could have quite a few fake ones in the packets. Drivers licenses are issued by states to anyone who wants to vote more than once in the same election. Meet at the bank. Wait for the clearance. We have now have more...

Lost in the translation: 600 Nm is 442 Ft-lbs. That makes more sense to me.

Careful. You're going to be flamed by the Amazon Police in China. Took me a while to teach my anti-virus software to squash Asian I.P. addresses.

It's not a pump problem. It's a fuel delivery problem. The fuel supply up to the injector is admitting air OR fuel is not reaching the plungers. Run a hose and a gravity feed fuel supply directly into the injector fuel supply line. Watch for air blowback (OK injector issue). If it runs good...

OK. My experience. If the tires on your flexwing are 'small' (as in less that 12") then most tire machines and operators have a great deal of difficulty mounting them. The mount head ([duck TAIL] has the wrong curvature (it's too big). so what happens is that the duck BILL (for dismounting)...

I had gravel at first, then crushed concrete, then crushed asphalt. Asphalt was best maybe because it was fresh still with some tar in it. But, my room mate suggested uncrushed concrete and that's been the favorite by a long shot. No more stones, burned dogs feet, black marks on other...

For what you'll pay for a new loader NOW, you can buy a POS loader tractor, use it for a month or so, and sell it for more than you paid for it. The inflation camel is already in the tent. This is an opportunity to 'make"?? some money on the deal. A few of us have been offered more for our...

Injector plunger is stuck open. Maybe you can free it up without extensive disassembly.

I will use head gasket goop on the rim at the bead area, sometimes also on the tire bead, too. Then when you push the carcass towards the rim, it sticks, and the airflow will fill it. I've also use the starting fluid technique with great success ! just a spurt. Done. But it takes some...

I only use shredders for cheese and office paperwork. Mowers for everything else. Maybe the O.P. should slow down and raise the pto rpm, eh ?

Could be a flat section worn on the drive belt.

Read the packages. Don't you remember the dog food deaths from plastic and antifreeze added to ramp up the tested "protein" content? Now look at the bird seed products being sold at TSC, Costco and Rural King. "Packaged Locally from Various Worldwide Sources". Good enough evidence last year...

chinese bird seed. Same as their dog food.

$100 scrap plow, some new hoses [brake lines for restricted flow] and some bolts. I use loader hydraulic circuits. Done before tractor warms up.

NH 1012 bale pickup wagon. Mine has the self unloading feature for dropping onto a trailer, into a PU bed, or into an elevator. Plus I can dump an entire stack of 56 and drive away.

In my experience, Cotter pins are soft steel and locking in place a castle nut, which is usually hardened steel. So if it doesn't pull out easily, I just wrench the castle nut and it shears the pin cleanly. Then a nailset can be used to remove the 2 pieces remaining in the bolt or axle.

Mine came with an installation manual, just like it came with one for a loader. You might have to buy it because there are quite a few specific situations you need to deal with: tire/wheel mounting, types of tires & sizes, weight bar position, lift links, driveshaft length, mid-pto version...

I was a tire engineer. Water will get into the tread package, rust the steel wires and you will be faced with a 'belt edge separation'. That's a sudden & immediate failure (blow out). You should have a spare somewhere in that rig, yes or no? For steered tires, you need equivalent pairs. 1...

I'm not picky about how it's fastened. I take some thick steel wire, cut off sections mybe 6" long, fold them over and around the fence and post. Then stick both ends in my battery drill and give it a whirl. Nice and tight. Maybe 3 loops top to bottom.

I'd first try to pull out the posts set in concrete. What have you got to loose ? A chain on your 5055's lower links wrapped around a post may pull up. Then you could flop it on the back wall and tow it to a new location. Need new holes, but that's what biscuits can get done.

Adk your doctor to prescribe it for blood pressure, then insurance may pay for it. That's the Sam's Club and Walmart deal. Its also FREE from Pfizer (100 mg) if you are low income. The have a plan for quite a few free necessary drugs for low income. I just report my social security tax form and...

The 'problem' is that dead tractor batteries have HUGE capacitance. So, not only are you trying to feed the high current starter, but also trying to feed the dead battery. So, disconnect the dead battery before jumping from any other source.

If very easy to go withe the plastic twine. Keep it in your mind that it's more slippery as seen by the bale box pullout AND the twine disk clamping force. Adjust them both to 10 lbs holding force and you will have no problems. My customers like plastic. No chance for their horses to try to...

Look for a safety switch tab that's been bent a little too much and now won't engage the micro-switch fully. Mine had a plastic cushion on the tab which flattened down. Then no joy.

My 1070 (predecessor to the 790) has draft control. The puky yellow deal above is the front attachment piece for a MMM. If you have a cab, use a deflector on the HVAC fan for draft control.

It actually is a rear mounted / forward facing mid-mount belly mower . Lookee here Yanmar YQM 60 Mower There is a manual for sale on ebay. That would help I bet.

A landscape rake, and any other grader plane, ought to be at a 45 degree angle, same as any blade. If it's actually jumping up and down, you need more weight on the very back of it.

So, Why is the tractor running Hot ? The power level would be the same or less with a slipping belt. Or the belt is slipping because the drag from the implement is actually higher. This may even have stretched the belt.

The condition of yours before the fix is better than most of the folks on my road !

I have used Google Earth to establish the central turning point for the Zamboni cut in a hay field. (Frank J. Zamboni & Sons, Paramount CA. Makers of Ice Resurfacing Equipment). But lately, I've been STARTING in the center and moving outward in order to cut for 20 minutes and quit. In my...

If your ignition is based on the 'igniter' that a flywheel element passes by, the clearance (easily adjustable) may be to large. When it heats up, the clearance becomes to great and: no spark. Unignited gas will backfire. You can test this against the weather/season, a fan on the cooling...

Ugly is a relative term. Some of my relatives ARE ugly, but i get the job done. Die grinder can work. Fire Axe is more satisfying. Its a 2 minute job for 4 holes. Cover with pretty washers. Options for adjustments if your high tech CNC math didn't quite work out.

I'd use my fire wrench with a washer template on both sides. If these are for lift link pins, don't they have a shoulder on them to hide your artwork ?

Yes it is. Probably drain your wallet of any $100 Benjamins you have hidden in there !

Heat it up (propane torch). It will set so soft that you can stick a gloved finger in it and back it out.

Forget the pins. I use equivalent sized bolts with nylon self locking nuts. I don't want to have a link pin fall out and bend the support arms, so lynch pins are out for me.

I have a radio controlled meter for the A/C compressor that DTE can shut off for 20 minutes. I get a reduced rate for that meter. You never even notice it's off. I've also stuffed a few other high current devices on it as an extra cost savings. I feel its not ever a problem. The key is to...

Our money is becoming more and more worthless as we pay people not to work, pay them to try and get them to work, and pay back trillions of printed money loans back to countries who use it to make aircraft carriers, Mars rockets, moon explorers, boomer submarines and contagious viruses. Any...

Careful. There are some flat faced wheel spiders. I usually see washers on them, too. Putting a flaired nut on a flat wheel means fatigue failure down the road.

For my front deck lawn mowers, midimount lawn tractors and vehicles, I invested in a used 10,000 lb capacity 2 post lift. I use 2, 7' car ramps (inverted to contain the tire profiles) mounted on the 2 sets of lift arms to raise up the mowers to a comfortable working height. The wheels sit...

The danger with freebees is that the parent metal is frequently so badly rusted or poor quality steel that some special, unexpected treatment is needed. This means, time, gas, material and possibly additional failure around the new weld(s).

I burn it. Call the fire department first to let them know its a controlled burn and have blowers and water on site.

You don't really care which one. All a solenoid does is connect a high current load using a low current load. An auto parts store will have solenoids. Hook it up and cut your grass,

Lifestyles, driver gender, shopping habits, campers, boats, and landscaping needs all drive the truck market. Then add safety. A PU head-on with a small anything is a walkaway if you know how to aim it. Even rollover is attenuated by stability control. Winter ground clearance and relatively...

Except a blade doesn't comb out driveway content you'd rather not have there. All it does is drag piles of gravel. You need gauge wheels and no rigid top link to do this maintenance. Otherwise you get a roller coaster as the tractor dips and rises and carves out humps and valleys. Seldom do...

Put a couple of joints in there and you won't burn your mouth or lungs.

S h e w a n t s t o k n o w w h a t i m p l e m e n t t o get, n o t w h a t g r a v e l p i t t o v i s i t o r b u y. Beg, borrow or steal an 8' rake. Sold mine for $800. if it doesn't work, add more money and get a land plane, or a box blade. Then just tune...

You need to reset the twine tension holders for plastic. Its more slippery. 10 lbs pullout force (each) from the twine box and for the twine disks. Looks for springs in the area with adjuster nuts. The wiper arms need to be 'adjusted' via bending so that scrape the know off. Actual positive...

My Arps brand landscape would have no trouble smoothing out her driveway. I put 4 suitcase weights on it and it digs and fills as necessary. I used to help q few others on the road with driveways worse than hers. But, Now I'm all 800' of concrete so I sold the rake.

I started out in the same condition and fixed it easily with a Landscape rake set at a 45 degree angle for starters. The key ingredient is a rake with 2 gauge wheels on each end and a chain for the top link. First comb the material from the outside inward for a few passes. Then comb the...

What are the actual symptoms ? I have a diesel version and it was running rough. It was the rubberized connection between the engine and the transmission. So, check if it's fuel or air as well as mechanical.

IMHO, a 4020 is the ideal haying tractor, but not the best thing for an orchard operation: To big, more power than you need and not operational at the moment. But, there are companies here in Michigan than sell re-manufactured crankshafts for anything. So, you could hold out to eventually get...

My JD F-935 snowblower also needs the input shaft reverser, so JD has one that does the job on the 47 Blower. Mounts solidly to the front pickup arms and then a short shaft to the main auger drive. BTW: I got a 3:1 gear reverser with std 540 pto spline end that I mounted to the mower deck. I...

Either way you look at it, you got a wakeup call about leaving your property unsecured and out in the open. The dogs interest could be from the smell of a human trying to move the roll out of the way to get at other stuff. I'd clean up the are and remove any tools that could be used to get a lot...

Guten Tag. Welcome. It could be fuel gone bad from sitting and from moisture clogging fuel filter(s) or lines. Even bacteria that grows in fuel. So maybe drain the fuel lines and put in fresh fuel. Next could be air in fuel lines from many cycles of air pressure/weather changes. Loosen each...

I ran into the same problem with wheels on a 2 axle dump trailer recently. I found a wheel at a junk yard, but the bolt circle is just so slightly different that I could not run the lug bolts in. Plus the pilot hole of the hub was too big by about 1/8". Meanwhile NO trailer place had my old...

The O.P's premise is girded with foolishness. The energy to charge your batteries will not be available. Not enough generation capability, not sufficient transmission capability, and not enough skills to repair them, considering that they would be much higher than 48v and now just another...

I'll bet you don't need the pump. This is the same problem we face when we run it out of fuel. Crack all the injector lines at their tops a full turn. After 5 to 10 seconds of cranking a few dribbles of fuel will start to bubble out at the fittings. After a few more seconds, close one of the...

I have a number of these shafts from a few implements (mostly front mowers and snowblowers and brooms). They are all different brands and models, too. JD, Ford/New Holland, etc. Some Some are spline to spline and others are spline to 1" round shaft, either drilled for a shear bolt or a keyway...

Dollar Store owners trying to save them from peaceful protests.

Don't put in a 2 entrance/exit driveway, you ould need a 'horse-shoe' route to allow exiting without backing up. Only one entrance with a gate and an alarm transponder is all I'd recommend. works just dandy for deliveries, trailers, and visitors.

Where are you ? I have a 60" JD Mid mount. Needs a few things: pork chops to mount on tractor frame, rear lift pull rods and the front frame bracket. All these could easiliy be fabbed up. No belt covers. Local pickup only in Brighton, Mi.

The parents are not pursuing these laws to make kids more safe in the future, they are calling for laws to relieve themselves of the guilt they bear from their stupidity. "See. it was really THEIR fault." is a common argument in court cases I'm familiar with. A brake pedal should be able to...

"Runs fine in reverse" so why would clutch be be the cause ??? Maybe the bucket is still stuck in the ground, eh ??? Sounds more like a broken transmission primary shaft or gear. Which transmission (there are 3).

I remember my 226D. I ran a NH479 haybine and a JD14T baler with it for a few seasons. Mine did not have 'live power'. The clutch started the wheels and the pto implement at the same time. Kind of exciting if I may say so !

Government workers hired for diversity ratings and having a 'bridge card' as a qualification ! Oops. politically incorrect...

Here's my take on it. If you are involved in a crash and your data recorder indicates excessive speeding, sleeping at the wheel, or failure to brake. No coverage for the event. Plus LEOs can look at it and gauge your driving habits. BTW: most cars an trucks have recorders built into them...

Its a lateral bending failure, not a vertical overload. Could be wind force or even sun loading on 1 side. Three members = over-strained. ! has to yield.

I have both. With a side discharge, you can easily add a "material collection system" to pick up leaves, weed seeds, sticks, nuts and dog toys. I use a trailer mounted lawn-vac with an 8" chute on a 72" deck. Not gunna happen with a rear discharge.

Get a longer walking beam.

You always have to keep your eye on them, too. Danged kids these days...

When I take the bears mushing, I am careful to pickup the poop they leave behind. I sell it to a local Starbucks for a popular latte' flavor: "Grin & Bear it".

Those are replacement hoses. Somebody added some extra length. Mine are all wrapped in a nylon sleeve to keep them secure. Try some pantyhose wrapped around then and with a hanging strap to keep then away from the exhaust. I'd also cut that pipe and add a downward elbow. Otherwise, the...

I run a NH-479 9' mower/conditioner, a NH-55 rake, an JD 14T baler and a NH-1012 stack wagon (to automatically pick up the dropped bales) all with a 35 Hp JD 1070 tractor. All by myself. All the equipment is easy to maintain and service. Before getting the stack wagon, I towed an 8 x 16'...

Cut the dent out and splice it with a tube splice connector. Worked just fine for me get the stainless one for high pressure just in case.

When I signed up, I was told about needing a supplement. My hockey buddies all recommended Humana. When I called 6 other Supplement candidates, Humana was the only one where they answered on the 3rd ring with a voice that spoke perfect English. Signed up for Plan F at the advice of my buddies...

Symmetric rounded tire shoulders usually mean running on low air pressure and overheating. That boils out the sealants and you get what you got. But, I'd replace the other one while you are at it. As far as easy peasy, having a flat out on the highway can be expensive & dangerous. The real...

Its a Ford. Will leak of burn a quart in 4000 miles. Add in some straight Ford-y weight then.

A friend of mine had the same problem. The RPM dependency was actually fuel RATE issue. The hose to the injector pump had a worn end and the clamp was no longer tight, allowing air to enter, or pinched line, not sure. New hose made the problem go way. New clamps were the screw type instead of...

Somebody from the Church of Ladder Day Saints borrowed my wheel barrel.

Just need your personal identification PIN number.

Pipe wrench and a piece of pipe to get leverage is the way I go. All my blade deals are self tightening. That means I need the breaker bar to get them OFF. Last changeout on my 72" required the breaker bar plus a 6' pipe extension. I've never had the breaker bar bend so much ! Was 'C' shaped...

Sellers now are more savvy on what their stuff can bring, based on many indicators. Ebay's "sold" listing options included. Buyers are expected to also do their homework. A new class of buyer are "resellers". They need a lowball price to make a few bucks from the uninformed sellers. It's...

There have been some older tractors which used an in-line hydraulic booster to assist with steering. No column mounted valve, too. All it does is 'zero' the draglink force that you apply by turning the wheel. Stiff need a pump + reservoir (mabe from PU truck. You could also reduce the scrub...

All mine respond very well to CBD oil. Full eyedropper on a peanut butter dogbone. Get in from ebay seller. 3000 mg bottle. Hemp oil. Take it myself. Just as good as Celebrex.

Get rid of the welded wheels and get some 2 part component wheels. Then you have 4 options for wheel center width: 2 spider options and 2 wheel rim options. If you are that concerned about rollover, fill them only 1/2 full. This keeps the c.g. change down and still gets you some traction. I...

Too many mig welders in the wrong hands. My spineless senator said she can't wait until they Argon. Need background checks and prohibition of wire feeds with large spools and unbranded ghost machines. Who needs a welder with an automatic feel spool gun when you can now buy cheap replacement...

Too many stupid grandfathers with their grandchildren riding on fenders caused all of this. Makes a terrible mess.

Gauge wheels and a chain for the top link. This will raise the speed limit on your driveway, though.

The 'official' bolt head is thinner that normal. I just replaced my bolt and knife bushing because they dropped down out of the cutter bar and the skid shoe sheared the bolt head off. Another time, I lowered the head too quickly and the header slammed to the concrete driveway and same thing...

Raise the flap / door up so the tines will kick the rocks up and out. Worst scenario is if a rock gets jammed in the teeth and won't pass under the cross shaft and bends it. Straighten it with a fence post when you remove the killer rock.

I would NOT put just a nut behind the wheel to widen the track. Wheel design these days depends on a flat surface with proper retention and even a pilot centered wheel in some cases, to prevent stress raiser points in hub contact. Look at your current wheels to see their backside. Sometimes...

Put some smaller diameter tires on it. I just went from 28" rears to 24". My radar operated traffic speed sign in the driveway showed the difference. So the effective power went up, presuming the tire grip is there to use it.

I sold my brush cutter and bought a 7' Woods rear discharge finish mower that does a much better job on pastures. Set the height up initially to 8-10" or so, then groom it down. I can run in top gear now. not even on the governor. Ground speed is the regulating power on my fields, not tractor...

Rake. I used mine for snow with a 2x12 strapped in front of the tines. I suggest you get an 8' rake because when its at a 45 degree angle its a lot narrower. If using rear gauge wheels for smoothing, use a loose chain for a top link. The wheels should set the cut height not the tractor.

My JD 1070 came with 28" R1 ag tires on the rear, loaded with chloride. Changing wheel track was fairly easy, by changing the spider and the rim bracket position. Getting worn after 25 years or so, I started looking for a replacement set with this in mind: For haying, the 28s were a little too...

I would have called it a mulching kit. Any way to compare similar size mowers to see the residue stream ?

So, in 20 years, will your tractor brand even exist ? There are some 'pretty' red ones that first appeared about 15 years ago, now what ? When you have a breakdown in the field, will your dealer 200 miles away stop by to either fix it in the field or transport it back to their shop to repair...

I have the Miller 211. Smart settings, takes big spools, and runs on 120 or 240V. I have the gals using it to make home decoration stuff from steer rods. Couple of suggestions: Buy the gas bottle and don't even attempt to use flux wire. Doubtful strength and LOTS of splatter. Get a cart for...

With companies folding, merging and sending jobs to China, your management position could be short lived. But, consider that a large fraction of our population now can't change a lightbulb, either incandescent or LED. Our NextDoor Form is loaded with folks asking where to find a "Handyman"...

I'd pray for cheese. And a 20 ga. And a comfy chair to aim from.

Wireless or corded ? Middle button function ? Optical or track-ball ?

I recommend a wider rake. At 45 degree angle (best for smoothing ripples, humps, and potholes) a 6' rake is not wide enough to cove your tracks. Get one with a weight bar or some other means to make it dig better. I toss my suitcase weights on the 3 pt frame. Takes care of my road, driveway...

Why you buy warn out wench ? Probly not greased enough ?

Fake owls no work. Barn doors work nize. Shotgun more fun. Shot shell in handgun better. The word gets around from any survivors. Leave at least one. Starlings are the worst. Even the cat gave up.

Mine are all 72". I even do the fields with it. F935 diesel. Previous was 48". No turning back.

Someday you might have to do a slight repair on the tire. A gell will not be the favorite stuff to deal with when it needs to be out of the way. Look for the weight density rating of any stuff you install and whether it freezes in cold weather.

You need to also know what kind of plug it has. My Actron came with 5 cords for OBDII equiped vehicle and an OBDI plug.

Because if day wuz ugly, U wood not or could not have enough alcohol or pillow cases to expresso und harasso.

You have a fuel flow issue and most likely have maple syrup in the carb again. Ethanol fuel content makes it even worse. 82 was pre-ethanol, so rubber seal, hoses and o-rings may have dissolved.

I bought an appropriate cylinder off of ebay a while back. Correct dimensions and attachment ends. I steal the curl cylinder control from my loader without needing to remove the loader. Some good electric ones too, now.

Well, you know where they live. Pay them a visit.

My approach is to stop them right at the road. Fence, trees, ditch. Next is thermal alarm at 3 stations coming up the driveway. If station 3 tones, they're halfway up the driveway past the barn. I just acquired a surplus trailer mounted Kband radar speed trap trailer. It's pretty good at...

Try looking at prom dresses for sale on FB markeplace. How come young women didn't look that attractive in my high school days? Homecoming dresses, too. I need to get back to my high school reunion.

I have a 9 shot .22 Ruger. Wih .22 birdshot, it's great for dealing with carpenter bees.

You really ought to get out more. A Chevy Volt is an all electric car with a generator backup. The gas motor does not engage the driveline it only provide electricity. Good grief.

Revolver. Wad cutters. Paint tips red so perp can watch his life threatening missile roll into place. No brass flopping around on the floor. Double action. Need to be able to step around a corner wall and capture the element of surprize. Long gun is too awkward, likely to get taken away at...
