Most every one, including the owners manual will tell you DO NOT shift while moving. They say the clutch is designed to be slipped and handle the abuse. But I do know how you feel. I have successfully shifted gears on my 3000's 8 speed while moving (trying to match everyone's speed in a...

You should join Thumper Talk forum for motorcycles. They are ALL professional motorcycle racers (with really bad grammar) and they frequently talk crap about all the factory employed racers, and they all can tell you everything those pro racers are doing wrong, how they can beat them and how...

I just saw one of "those" adds again yesterday......some tool had something for sale for a specific price and then it says in add....."must sell this week or it's going to scrap yard."

That and so many of these tractor manufacturers make models for other manufacturers......you can't keep track any more.

Sorry, couldn't resist, LOL Funny how EVERY manufacturer says they are the biggest in the world, LOL

I contacted Anglo Agriparts in the UK to order more fuel filters for my Ford 3000 diesel and have them shipped to me. Thought it was cool to keep filters that say "made in England" on my Basildon, England build tractor. I did go with Motorcraft for the engine oil though.

Kubota USA site has shown them since January. Just too bad they are now the same price as a cabbed Grand L was before covid pricing took effect.

Best selling tractor in the THIRD world. LOL

Strange thing is I see a lot of this junk sell. So do they eventually drop price big time or is it just that there are many other stupid people out there?

Is it just that Kubota Canada never updates their web site or are these not available in Canada yet? I have yet to hear about or see an LX35 or 40 here yet.

Do I have a deal for you all!! One set of rear rims for an Allis Chalmers CA. Mint shape, just needs some paint. Tires still inflated with tubes full of calcium Asking $5000.00 They don't make these every day you know. I know what I got! Bahahahahaha

Hahahahaha. They're just looking for a nice tractor in someones yard to take a pic of, LOL

Only because you said the guy isn't very mechanical, I have to ask, did anyone fill the fuel recently? I just found out the gasket on my 3000 diesel's filler cap doesn't seal very well any more. I filled my tank right up before the last tractor parades I went in, and by the time I trailered it...

You know, I see the same thing with dealers even on Marketbook/Tractorhouse, etc. I've been looking at Ford cab tractors and the older Boomer 3045/3050 tractors on there. You find ones that are all painted up and look brand new on the outside, then you get to the interior pics and they are...

Glad it worked out sd455dan. Here's a story from the other side.....selling. I once put a 1984 Ford F150 for sale at the end of my driveway. Only about 300 feet from the house, but in plain view. We were all home. I saw a guy stop to look at it and he was spending a strange amount of time...

Hahahaha

So take those and add 10 grand for your backhoe and implements.

It really depends on how well you like your neighbor and if you WANT to give him a deal, LOL.

You can get exactly what you paid for it new. I was going to trade in my 2020 Kubota and the DEALER was going to give me what I paid new for it. Only the implements depreciated a bit. And a dealer still has to make money reselling it. So that shows you what strange times we are in.

Is the 6060 really on back order or is that dealer just trying to sell you the 5460 they have sitting there? Play like it's really not what you want but you can live with it if they sweeten the deal even more.

I'll be back to work. I had to choose between Prince and Laird and I chose Prince because I'd rather drive my tractor than sit around with a bunch of car guys. They aren't having the tractor pulls this year at Laird?? I never saw any mention of that this year. I'm going to try and get to Bruce...

It has brakes now, new return springs, new 3 point levelling box/lift arm, I fixed all the oil leaks, has a working light switch, new fluids and filters. Relatively minor stuff and not a big deal, except for when the seller tells you over and over "totally restored, all new parts. All new...

And I wasn't the only blue Ford. A 2000 gasser. And a David Brown.

And because I also like and own Massey's here are some I saw at the show.

Very nice looking Case.

The museum blew my mind! It was like I died and went to heaven. Lived around here my whole life and didn't even know this existed. All old local farm implements.

Lake Superior shipping channel. And this was cool....a home made tractor. He fabricated everything, even the quick hitch on the 3 point. It has a Toyota engine and manual transmission, and a 3/4 ton truck rear diff. Super nice gentleman. He also made a bunch of implements for it and he builds...

Bummer! Would have been nice to see you there. It was a blast! A 20 KM ride and then a delicious BBQ lunch. I don't know if he wants his name posted so I will just thank Mike R for organizing and hosting such a fun event. And also would like to thank the township members and volunteers that...

Well no, I just made this post because I'm sick of 80% of humanity nowadays. That's my only point. I still wanted the tractor and it's 100% better now that I went through it. I realize everyone wants to make a buck, but it's just disheartening how dishonest everyone is today.

Well, I've always been in the trucking business, so I have been in some bad financial times in the past. So what I learned to do is save a payment every month, then when I have the cash, go buy it. Makes it a bit easier to swallow. And don't have to worry about interest rates.

Ya, like I said, I wanted it anyway so I didn't bother checking too much. After driving nine hours I wasn't coming home empty. He seemed trustable and he owns a diesel repair shop so I thought I could take his word for it all being serviced. I had another tractor lined up from another tractor...

It even has brakes now too!!! LOL

Loaded up, ready to go in the morning!! Come introduce yourself Mike. This will be me.

Well they don't do any good translating their Japanese to English in all their other stuff either. LOL I've had the opportunity to go to a couple dealer shows with dealer owners I know and I've talked to some of the reps and they can't believe the way some of the stuff is written out in the...

So I keep watching the Mecum Gone Farming auctions on RFD and keep trying to get the time to go to one. Anyone ever go to one? Is it safer buying a tractor from there, seeing as how they are mostly all restored from private collections? Or is there a lot of painted up junk you have to watch for...

I have a friend looking for a GM/Chev 2500. One was on my road for sale. So he asked me to go look. Here where I am, you cannot get a safety if the rocked panels are rotten. Well the whole bottom of this thing was rotten, the frame was rotten and it said "certified" so obviously he has a...

Maybe Roustabout is not being ignorant.....might have just come off that way in writing?? But the main points here are just because they are slow and heavy, doesn't make them junk or a failure. It's all about picking the right machine for the right application. When I go on 100 mile rides with...

For the record, I only buy new stuff when it comes to vehicles and new tractors, etc. Because I don't trust people. But unfortunately when you like 40 plus year old tractor collecting, you have no choice but to buy used. I bought a tractor off a facebook antique tractor site. Talked to the...

Yes, M7 made in France. Kubota engines. I think only vendor part is the CVT transmission in them, I think it is ZF? Yes, Buhler Versatile never gave any reasons for this decision, but I would think it is to try and distance themselves from being all Russian to stay neutral? To date they haven't...

The Cummins powered M8 is made by Versatile in Winnipeg Canada. Interestingly Versatile was just in the news, looking for someone to buy them. No real details, but they were bought years ago by Russia and they made some board changes after the war in Ukraine started. Wonder if Kubota will step...

Canadian site is just as bad. They never update it. Still doesn't even have the new LX models on there. Only thing they ever seem to update is the constantly rising prices.

Try Stufff, it smells better than them all AND you can eat it, LOL It's food grade canola spray. I'm giving it another vote now that I had a chance to actually use it to get the rusted seized power adjust rims off my Allis. Then I had some duct tape I had to remove so I sprayed it with Stufff...

That is absolutely awesome!!!!

Bummer your well cprapped out and you gotta sell stuff. I hadn't heard of those before. Only the Sherman over/under. Your lucky you can get someone to drill your well. Up here where I live there are only two well drilling companies left and they are booking 6 to 8 months out. Leaving lots of...

Holy! Ya, I bet those can be pretty dangerous. Was just reading that even our mountain lions will stay away from large boars.

Thanks for the offer, but I never seem to get away very far from here. I have heard the FPT engines are pretty solid. I know their 6.7 is pretty much on par with the ISB 6.7 Cummins. Those wild hogs are a big problem. I even heard they are spreading up this way in my neck of the woods now...

The way it should be. I've always said.....how many of these mass killings you think there would be if all the good, sane people carried. Situations would be ended quick. Sure is a good looking tractor. Hope it serves you well. I guess that would be an FPT engine?

They are the answer if you own a crane company.....they have a full time job around here at our couple year old wind farm that already has them failing and falling from the sky on a weekly basis, LOL

H Here in Can'tada I'd have to use the bucket to kill things, LOL Very nice looking tractor! That would look sweet with my old blue Ford.

I went to my local trading post to get gas and the young girl that was attending the gas pump was actually one of the smartest teens I have talked to. And I'm equally as proud of our local school that is apparently not pushing the brainwashing agenda. We were making small talk about the price...

I'm with some of the others here. The old design looks better.

I haven't tried the latest STIHL's, but my mechanic friend told me "don't ever get rid of your old STIHL's"

Mine "looked" the same, just rotted around the stems. But then a couple weeks ago the one rim just fell apart and crushed while driving it, LOL Tires are still full of calcium though, must be tubed. I did find all my answers thanks to some members on the Allis Chalmers Forum. Even linked me to...

I have heard that too, that some ferries and tunnels are already banning electric vehicles. Other one I just heard the other day for the first time on Real Ag Radio, was that Ford had stopped producing the F150 Lightning for a while, because they admitted problems with the battery. Apparently...

Just do like me, write your own name on the ballot and drop it in. LOL

I have and swore by STIHL. But my Kubota dealer got me to try Echo and so far they have been great. Same reliability as my STIHL's. When I first saw Echo, I thought they were some "cheapy" brand. But they are quality made in Japan. My small engine mechanic is telling me the new emission...

This is the worst part of my CA. The calcium just killed those rims. I have been using it like that ever since I got it, just because I knew it wasn't going to be a fun job, but they finally started to crumble a couple weeks ago while I was driving it, LOL

I want to ask some advice as maybe someone will have better ideas. I need to get these apart as I have brand new power adjust rims for it. I got everything lose, except the locks. I currently have them soaked in Shop Stufff (a canola based penetrating fluid) and Krown penetrating fluid. I don't...

Hopefully he won't be around much longer.

I just tried this the other day. My son-in-law was a heavy diesel mechanic and now a mill-right and he swore by this and got me a can to try. I can't give any scientific details as it's the first time I tried it, but it did get the rear wheels off my Allis Chalmers that I have never had off or...

I'm not laughing at the people on the ship or it's owners, but I just LOVE seeing the "electric future" fail.

Only other thing I heard this good today was our PM's wife divorcing him! BAHAHAHA

They have all "cheated" the system. But only a few were caught and made examples of.

All I can say is I've worked in many underground mines here in northern Ontario and I don't see any Polaris or anything else working underground.....except RTV's. That's what all the mines use, Kubota RTV's and Toyota Landcruiser pickups. Funny thing too, you hear all these people complaining...

That is my big wish....that it had either a treadle or a forward and reverse pedal instead of a shifter. Would be a lot nicer when I use it to plow instead of getting the tractors out.

OR......I need to go 110 MPH on the trails while their are kids and families and people on horseback on them. Look how cool and important I am! LOL

I don't use a Honda 3 wheeler. So they are junk! My dealer studied them to see why they are so bad. Bahahahahaha. Is that how this works? LOL

I can't remember exactly, but I get that salt elimintor wash before the oil spray and I think it is around $150 for a truck or SUV. They drill some holes where needed. But they've always done a nice neat job.

I don't have your problem because I have a machine for each of my separate needs. Fast ones, slow ones, ones that can haul and tow, etc. I just get in the one that I need for the task at hand.

Use it for it's intended application and they are perfect. Wouldn't trade mine for anything.

I guess, if you count stupid people throwing cigarette butts out the window of their ICE vehicles. Otherwise highly doubtful. At least one was arson, some were lightning strikes and some were stupidity. Maybe instead of banning ICE, we should ban all the dumb arses in my area that have a...

Thank you!

I just took it out to stare at while I drank whiskey on the deck. LOL

And when I can't buy fuel anymore, I'll be cooking a lot of french fries. And robbing McDonalds of their fry oil, LOL

They'll still be in my yard. I don't give a crap what i gotta pay for fuel.

I know they can be DPF deleted, a company in Canada was doing them, but I'm not sure if they did anything with the mass EGR? My International's had Cat's LOL

Here's the problem with brands like TYM......I actually looked at TYM/Branson a while back when Kubota skyrocketed the price of the M7060 I was in the middle of buying. I was lured to TYM/Branson when I read in this forum how easy they are to delete. Then I remembered "we have a Branson...

No, Krown. https://www.krown.com/en/ I have my vehicles sprayed with it for rust control and no bolts are ever seized on them. Plus you can get different formulations in can. For rust prevention, penetrating oil, safe on electronics, etc. We get 6 months of salt and de-icing chemicals on the...

LOL. I don't know if they are any better if you delete them or not? But yes, you can buy them all day long for very cheap. A contractor at the mine I work at now has the A26 475 in his truck and it has been good so far. I think just belt tensioner failures.

Krown

I hadn't seen that one yet. I still get all the trucking trade magazines and emails, but I kinda don't look at them anymore. I did see though that the new International S13 only has EGR and a simple regular turbo and does have a DPF or need regens. Sounds promising.....as long as it works better...

Anyone on here near the Sault or Algoma district going?

I just started refreshing my 55 Allis Chalmers yesterday.

Whether the new tractors are reliable or not, I will never own anything with a DPF again. And only because I ran 3 SCR/DPF trucks before I quit trucking and one of them made me hate life. I spent more time sitting at the dealer than I did working or being at home. So unfortunately that one...

Our scrap goes to Algoma who turns it into new GM products, LOL

Not my trucks in my applications 5030, they all had 4.30 and 4.56 rear ratio's with 550 plus h.p. 80 MPH was about all I could get with an 18 double over. I tried highway long haul once. Hated it. I'll stick to forestry and mining.

Don't work. They are speed limited here and even the fleets that have "max speed 90 KPH (55MPH) decaled on the back of their trailers I follow them all day long on the highway at 115 KPH. My trucks were all programmed to show they were governed when plugged into, but they were not.

See above. Even my Caterpillar wheel loader has a plastic cap on the top of the steel cab.

What is a GS850?

I'm okay with my RTV because I can ride right out of my property and into 100's of miles of forest and not see one other machine on the trails and logging roads. I'm kinda blessed that way. We can legally ride on roads too as I am in unorganized townships. Ya, I don't know. I got a bad taste...

I have dirt bikes for that. I love my RTV.....go out for a trail ride with the wife with the AC on, nice and slow and quiet so you can see all the moose and deer, and come home with a dump box full of fire wood. I had use of two brand new RZR 1000's. Junk. Unless of coarse you like constant...

AMEN brother!

When I bought my RTV-X1100C in 2020 it was $26,000 and change Canadian. By the time I added a full width LED light bar on front, 2 rear LED work lights, winch wired to go in front and rear receiver hitch's, rear protection plate, stereo, and a Boss vee plow it came out to 35 grand 13% tax in. I...

Post 12 says original equipment manufacturers cab. These new tractors have a plastic cap on their cabs.

Thought the OP said it is a CAB tractor.

Can't go wrong with any of those 3.

I'm not sure about that model, but I have read posts about people removing the rood caps on Kubota's to access wiring to add lights or stereo's or something? And by that guys a-hole reply of only "that sucks" I really have a suspicion he had it off for some reason and likely did not re-install...

Or just get one of those full width mudflaps for the rear of your truck like the RV'ers use. As far as taking a rock from another vehicle going by, that is like trying to buy a winning lotto ticket. You just never know, but the odds are low.

New or used tractor? If used maybe a "home mechanic" had his fingers in there and didn't reinstall properly?

First I have ever heard of this?

When I haul my RTV cab model I load it backwards and use the factory threaded tabs on the back of the cab to bolt on a sheet of plywood. So maybe with your tractor if you are worried, tape a couple layers of thick cardboard?

Check with a Kubota dealer and see if they will get you tires through Whole Goods like I did. I priced just tires everywhere, and when I got from Kubota Whole Goods it worked out to getting the rims for free.

I'm used to it. Been a trucker and equipment operator all my life. And 36 years of hauling asphalt in dump trucks and trailers where you have to spray the inside of the dump box with diesel before every load of asphalt. So I've always been covered in diesel. You wouldn't like the new Cat...

I don't own one, but I have tried the former 1700 series 35 horse cab and to me it was the most comfortable cab I have ever been in. Even the seat. It was far better than any seat Kubota offers.

Mine have been trouble free too. And have never regenerated. Nor will they ever need a DPF cleaning or replacement. LOL

I agree, but our tier 3 engines made great strides in cleaning up their exhaust emissions, plus got great fuel economy without all the hassles of a DPF and numerous other sensors. But now, we get punished with all this junk that has gone overboard, while almost every other country in the world...

I was just looking on Kijiji for some vintage dirt bikes like the ones I had when I was a kid. Just like some of the sales definitions you all have mentioned here, what a coincidence! First three adds.....fully restored, all original, all new.......and none of them have ownerships. And one is...

I think that's the problem with the town I live closest too. Wages have always been on the low side for the mechanics, but the shop rates are certainly not. So like they say, you get what you pay for.

😂🤣 They all need to be saved! Unfortunately I try to buy already restored because I already have numerous projects and not enough time. All I can suggest is look at sites like Machinery Pete, antique tractor sites on facebook, etc. That will at least give you a starting point on prices.

Depressing isn't it?

Well, my B had a wheel stud that was a different color than all the others, and a stripped bolt in the loader frame. Luckily I go through all my stuff myself and do the services and repairs myself. Dealers where I live are so bad I sometimes don't even use warranty on my vehicles because I...

Isn't it funny how we have to deal with all tis unreliable and costly crap, yet countries like India are still selling brand new Massey Ferguson 35's and exact copies of old Ford diesel tractor with no emissions controls at all.

I work in the mining industry and sadly I see people that aren't interested in keeping a $187,000 a year job. And the ones that throw it away because they can't stay off drugs for their one week of work between their week off and fail their randoms. I'd hate to see if another world war broke...

Your dealer is not the "normal" All the tractor and atv dealers here use the summmer students and the bottom grease monkey's to do the PDI's and assemblies.

If you listen to most news media they will tell you that was caused by climate change and internal combustion engines. And maybe a touch of covid.

I almost bought a new Mack a few years back. A guy ordered it, had all kinds of stuff added to it, then my friend who was a salesman at the dealer called me and said "do you want this truck? The guy that ordered it can't take delivery. he went to jail." LOL

From all the releases Kubota has just put out, they put a new quieter hydro in the new 35 and 40 horsepower LX's to address this complaint, but I'm pretty sure they did not upgrade the 2610. I have not seen or read anything about them doing it on that model.

Good to know!

SWEET!!!

I'd really love to have a new old Ford. I LOVE my old 3000. But you know if they did sell them here, they'd have to ruin them by putting a DPF on them. Back in the 70's Kubota and Ford almost got together. But it never went through. Ford wanted someone to make their small tractors and Kubota...

No, but I can't say I hate it. It has way more style than new cars.

Very nice! Do you or someone else have that for sale now? I just saw one identical with the discs for sale in the Ford section of Marketbook (Canadian version of Tractorhouse)

That is cool! Thanks for sharing. I like it! You must get some looks going down the road with that eh? LOL

Oh okay. I see on the web site they are still owned by Escort, whom I had never heard of. So did they just do the China/India thing and steal the Ford design, or did they actually buy the tooling from Ford for those old models? Seems like the east Indians love old Fords and Massey's. You can...

I have never had a 2 range hydro so I don't know how the ratios overlap in those. But I know with my little B2620 all three speed ranges get used. I can basically do everything in medium. Even box blading up my hills on the bush road. But sometimes I will use low just thinking it is easier on...

Ya, and now because you know that, it makes you think about it every time you are in it. Still though....6 grand compared to the price of new is an easy pill to swallow. Especially when you consider anything built today has the strong possibility of being a lemon with cheap components. I...

Like when I bought my Ford 3000. Guy told me, it's all fully serviced, all new oils and filters. Ready to go to work. Then once I got it home and checked everything, I made the call to Steiners and got all new filters, all the gaskets that are leaking and need to be replaced, etc.

Scratch that.....they got the 994 beat too, LOL I forgot they bought the Letourneau wheel loader line. WE2350 wheel loader | Komatsu

Kubota released a new LX with up to 40 horsepower now but I haven't seen much talk of them, nor are they even on the Kubota Canada web site. They have been on the US site since spring though. Deere and Kubota remind me of Cat and Komatsu wheel loaders. For every size Cat makes, other than the...

"Ignite will also transform your problematic lemon tractor." LOL

Bahahahaha

Is that right? I knew nothing of their history. It just caught my eye when I saw these new ones and they look identical to the old Fords. And no emission controls on them. So for sure they'd never be allowed to sell those here.

I'm a Kubota guy (or used to be before I fell in love with antique tractors) but anyway, I tried a B2650/LX2610 and the hydro transmission whine in that cab would be unbearable to me. That alone would make me jump up to the Grand L series. I've never tried a Deere. Wonder if they are quieter?

My friend just bought a new Farmall 75 from a dealer in Manitoba and it is going to be 2 weeks before he can have it.

There's another one that burns me. I've said it before, the NHRA should have sued for ruining the name. Same as how noW I have to spell the complete word every time and not use an abbreviation...TRANSMISSION.

My F150 5.0 seems pretty accurate too when I calculated gas receipts on a few trips. I haven't towed north of me in the hills with it yet, but going east on a few trips which is pretty flat for the most part it will drop to 13 US MPG with my 16 foot tandem aluminum trailer with my RTV-X1100C in...

Thank you, and no worries. No offence taken.

Ya, I don't know. I know most dash displays are not accurate, but I've been in that truck a few times and it's always showing 20 to 21 MPG. That's what my F150 5.0 shows IF I drive it 55 MPH and like a law abiding citizen. But it mostly shows 16 MPG when I'm on my way home from work, LOL And...

Well mine is pretty strong for what I expected, but no way it will do 20 up a hill. I'd like to know what that guy did. I know there was a turbo kit on the market for them, but I never saw on reports on how good they worked? I have a couple steep hills on my bush road and my RTV will drop to 7...

DISCLAIMER.....I'm not sure I really trust that 20 MPG in the welding truck, but he seems real happy with it compared to his old diesel.

Man, these just keep getting better and better. LOL I once saw a post on the Allis Chalmers forum about all the way people on Craig's List spell Allis Chalmers. It was hilarious.

Well yes and no. For what most people pull....a average size travel trailer or boat, most would never tell the difference in power. I know a guy that leases new F250's every 2 years. He pulls a fifth wheel travel trailer with a boat on a trailer behind it. He goes from Sault Ste. Marie to...

Well, I might not have to worry about using it outside. Seems like the wife already has interior plans, LOL Good news is it has to dry for a year, so I'm off the hook until next summer, LOL

On my way home from dropping the logs off at the sawmill, I saw an odd looking bug on the windshield of my truck. I asked my forester friend who was with me and he said "that is an emerald ash borer." They got into the logs I have, but no real damage. Just some trails under the bark. Hauled one...

Holidays are booked!

Not American, But I used to use NTN in all my old racing bikes. They are from Japan. Always seemed to outlast the factory bearings. Or if you need another option Will I can forward you one of the many emails I keep getting from Ching Chong Chang Li from the Bearing Factory. LOL

While watching videos on You Tube of vintage Ford thousand series tractors I discovered Farmtrac makes what looks like exact copies of the old Fords in India. Did they buy the tooling from Ford? Kinda wish I could get one here....a NEW Ford replica with no emission controls.

What I hate is, when I offer to buy a tractor, for their price, not even dickering on that and you tell them right up front "I am driving 9 hours to get there, so if there are any issues or it's not what you claim let me know up front." And they give you the "oh it's fully restored, perfect...

Those are all good ones too, LOL

None of my 4WD tractors have ever been out of 4WD except for when roading on pavement. Never had a problem and no more wear on front tires than the rears get. I get a kick out of how some people think. A long time ago I worked for a guy and we did snow removal in the winter. I had to plow very...

Saw a post in the LS section about a new diagnostic tool on the market. Here is my new diagnostic software. The beauty of it is it works on my Ford, Allis, Massey's, and my Kubota's and I don't even need to buy a specific wire harness for it to work on all those brands. :ROFLMAO:

It don't matter. It is pretty obvious by now we are never going to see pre-covid pricing again no matter what happens. That ship has sailed. In my case, Kubota shot themselves in the foot with me. When they price rose significantly mid deal when buying a new M7060 cab, I walked away, started...

Welcome to my world. LOL Kinda like how a little Kubota L3560 cab with a loader and rear snow blower is $90,000 here.

Thanks for all the info and advice. I went over this afternoon to skid it out of the bush behind the old chicken coupe. I brought the Ford thinking I would need the extra muscle to skid it out of the bush over the stumps, but turns out the little Kubota handled it, and picked it up on the forks...

I only use this in my auto greasers. I was actually told by Groeneveld that if I use their grease it increased my warranty on the greasers by a couple years. It flows really good even in minus 40. https://www.groeneveld-beka.com/en/systems/grease/

The story is, it was already cut by a neighbor up the road and he has no use for it and it's too nice to go to waste. So I'm going to use it for something. Maybe I'll use it inside the house if it's not going to be great for exterior. Too bad I don't have the talent to make cupboards and...

I have a bunch of perfect white ash logs I am bringing to the sawmill down the road. My neighbor has used it for interior walls in his cottage and it has beautiful grain. But I'm wondering, would it be any good for exterior siding if I get it cut into 1-1/4 inch thick boards? What would be the...

Not to sound too morbid but when the day comes that I can no longer source gasoline or diesel fuel and can't run my internal combustion engines, I am taking my own life because there is nothing else this world has to offer me. Then there will be room for one more ******* on the planet. My...

I'm not real familiar with the 1700 but it should be okay judging by the pics I saw of a 1700. I've seen people put them on lawn tractors, LOL

I was going to say check fuel screen in tank, but if it only backfired on starter fluid....are you sure the timing is correct?

Welcome to the blue team! As for your steering wheel, 3 point parts and brakes, etc there are a LOT of aftermarket support for Fords. I get most of my resto parts from places like Steiners and Yesterday's Tractor. As for that blue seat, I have one similar on my Ford 3000 and I love it. It's...

I've only mowed once this summer. And that was because it actually rained one day so I did a mow the day after.

:ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO:

Thanks Oldballs. I sure am. I love my old tractors compared to the new ones. The looks, the sound, the feel. I wish there were more shows and tractor rides close by. I don't even drive my truck when I'm home. Anywhere I go in my rural township I drive one of my tractors, LOL The next one I am...

You are not even joking there Hay Dude. Our "free" health care, which is not free is horrible. Wait times in emergency are 8 plus hours where I am. Service is non-existent, we got a brand new hospital built and it is filthy and you usually come out with more diseases you didn't have when you...

Trudeau's waiting for the new electric motor to be delivered. LOL

That was a SWEET looking W900.

I only referred to what I have read and saw on news. Guess I better not quote them any more. Anyway no biggie. I only care about tractors. They make me happy. Moving on now.

Sorry for the fake news. Another lesson to me, don't listen to the current news in Canada. I'll see if I can delete. Sorry to offend you.

FAKE NEWS DELETED

DELETED DUE TO FAKE NEWS QUOTED FROM THE MEDIA MY APOLOGIES FOR SPREADING FAKE NEWS. PLEASE REFER TO MOSS ROAD FOR THE REAL TRUTH.

Boy that would suck to have your new tractor go over. Glad you got it out. That sure is a nice tractor.

FAKE NEWS FAKES NEWS SORRY FOR POSTING BELIEVE NOTHING I QUOTE FROM NEWS MEDIA FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS PLEASE IGNORE (I couldn't delete so I added a disclaimer.)

I'm right in the middle of some of the fires and I've had no smoke at all, LOL It's all blowing right around us. I enjoyed a wonderful day of driving my tractor with 120 others.

Wow that's awesome! Very nice work! Can't wait to see it done.

A few shots on parade route.

And my dream tractor. And no, this one is not for sale. I asked! LOL

Some IH's.

Some other pics.

Weather turned out beautiful for the parade yesterday! And the Ford ran and drove absolutely perfect! Such a comfortable tractor to cruise with. Surprisingly it drew a LOT of attention. Unlike a lot of the shows in the US, this one isn't all perfectly restored show tractors. There are a few...

I've been wanting to try Petro Canada Duratran synthetic as Petro Can is a quality oil and I get it at cost, but been too nervous to switch. So I use the Duratran in my old tractors. I'm almost scared to see how much the SUDT is now. I had a stock of it at home here so haven't had to buy any...

I'd buy a new gasoline tractor. My 1955 Allis Chalmers is still going trouble free (other than the rear rims rotting off and some hydraulic leaks.) Lets see how many modern tractors are still going in 68 years without any kind of major repairs, LOL All the school bus and ambulance fleets here...

Thank you! Rain has quit so far.

One more step closer!

Well was just out in a thunder storm getting truck and trailer washed before the parade tomorrow. I don't care if I'm the only one that shows up if the weather is horrible.....I'm unloading and going for a tractor drive! LOL

That's pretty much how it is here in my district. Lots of farms, but all are 1000 acres or smaller. No big mega farms like you see out west or in the States. And farmers markets set up everywhere or you can just buy at the farms.

That makes sense. Thanks. As I had said, I have never heard that term before.

Maybe this is an American term? But I have never heard of it before and google doesn't even give a definition. I was watching two episodes of Classic Tractor Fever on RFD TV and two different people used the term "truck patch farming." What dose it mean?

Some day I am going to go see that show. I'd love to attend that. I was going to go this years, but never got myself organized in time. Decided to just hit the local shows with my Ford. I heard on a tv show on RFD TV that you are allowed to drive an RTV around the show site there because it is...

Got the Ford ready to go. Just got dates on two other shows also in the Algoma District here. The Prince Township Tractor Cruise on August 7th. And the Laird Classic Car and Tractor Show on August 20th.

Mine are the fat white worm looking grubs. I haven't seen anything that looks like those beetles...at least that I noticed. Not sure if it's just a coincidence but the first time I ever saw those white grub worms is when I dug up my septic field to replace it I found them in the soil. Then ever...
