Yes cutter diameter first followed by shank diameter. Many 1/2" chucks open up a bit more than 1/2 -heavier drill presses commonly have a Jacobs model that opens to 5/8. That pictured one looks like a reduced shank likely 1/2" if that is a pic of the actual product

Yes it's possible, especially if you are trying to make a perpendicular hole. Use the lowest speed the drill press will go, cutting oil, and make VERY sure everything is clamped down as best you can make it -part, vise, and table too. Understand that you will need to put some constant pressure...

That's generally true for end mills for the non-production type machine shop, don't think that necessarily applies to taps

I'm on the no-more-carburators crusade myself. Diesel or fuel injection from here on out. Not quite there yet but getting closer

I would be hesitant to add to the front bumper unless it's very well protected, especially if you have a loader

Brass plumbing fittings avoid the galvanized flaking potential

You could use weld nuts and keep the heat away from the threads

I wouldn't be surprised if the OEM ones and most of the aftermarket ones are also chicom made. Chicom-child-slave-labor manufacturing is capable of making parts to spec if provided with proper oversight as 5030 mentioned above

I usually pull the thermostat and flush all the old coolant and sediment out of the block and water pump with a hose after draining so everything will get rinsed thoroughly and immediately anyways so not long enough to dry and leave residue

My money is on voltage drop with the long cord and needing greater amperage on startup. Suggest larger conductor extension cord to fix the problem. Should be at least 12 gauge per the attached chart for 15amp continuous. What Peter mentioned above about the check valve could also be contributing

Looks like you have both high and low beam relays https://partscatalog.bobcat.com/?path=/0000-Compact+Tractors/0000-CT230/0000-A59C11001+%26+Above,+ABFP11001+%26+Above/0005-Electrical+System/0002-Electrical+System+2+Group And all fuses no auto reset circuit breakers...

I would pull the plugs to both headlight bulbs, then check for continuity to ground at the + side of each connector. You can't do them one at a time -must be both disconnected before you start checking because a bulb is a resistor to ground. If you have continuity to ground it means you have a...

At a guess without further info sounds like a short to me with an auto-reset circuit breaker in the circuit

Suggest measuring wheel diameter and width, bolt pattern, and hub diameter, and calling Hoye or Alexander. If no luck there, call Hey Wheel

Looks like parts are still available including seal kit, detent kit, spool kit, etc. even if the assembly is not: the page title says 650 loader but clicking on the valve shows it's for the 450 loader https://www.messicks.com/ku/87422

Type of cylinder would play into it I would think as well as if it actually runs: Diesel: 3cyl x4, 4cyl x1 = 16 Gas 4stroke: 10cyl x1, 8cyl x1, 6cyl x2, 4cyl x1, 1cyl x5 = 39 Gas 2 stroke: 1cyl x2 = 2 Then if you want to extend the meaning of "cylinders"... Hydraulic cylinders: 14 Pneumatic...

Yep that's what mine looks like

In addition to cutting fluid you should pay attention to drill bit speed. Basically, stainless requires slower speeds than steel and much slower speeds than aluminum. Heat is what kills drill bits. Your drill bit has to stay harder than the material you are drilling in order for it to cut, and...

WD-40 is good for cutting/tapping aluminum only. Transmission oil is good as a penetrating oil (older red Type F best especially mixed 50:50 with acetone) -this is done frequently in 3rd world countries. There are a number of cutting fluids on the market -I use Mobilmet 766 for stainless, but I...

Pretty sure that's called the boom lock to keep the boom from leaking down that works in conjunction with a pin in the pivot area to keep it from swinging. Woods may be able to sell you the locking strap but on mine it's just a steel bar with 2 holes in it. I'd be really surprised if they will...

I would be concerned about potential barriers to import - there's a recent/current thread on TBN about importing a chicom excavator that ended up having to be sent without the engine due to import restrictions Also you should be able to get engine model and spec info specific to the Indian...

Coupling nut or long nut

This might be an option: allows more thread engagement as well

If it were mine, I would tack weld some nuts on the plate steel and attach with short bolts. If you don't like that, you could also mount the bracket to a longer backing plate to make a clamping solution around the loader arm. The area you indicate sees quite a bit of stress and personally I...

I had a very similar problem recently for a 1200 mile move. I solved the problem by purchasing a 5 ton medium duty 18.5' flatbed truck and hooking up my 18' flatbed trailer. Ended up taking 7.5 round trips with multiple trailers for equipment and shop but this rig would take your listed...

You could pull the pivot bolt for the alternator also to give you more wiggle room which is what I did last time IIRC on a 2210 (same motor prior model)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belleville_washer Like any other spring they can break/weaken/etc. I would replace them with the bearings as a matter of course.

I don't have a manual for that model but putting tension on assemblies are what Bellevilles are designed for

Looks like preload on the assembly is provided by the Belleville washer parts 22 and 27. For those who haven't come across these, Belleville washers are domed spring steel washers that put tension on an assembly

If you're not already using it, a good cutting fluid can make a world of difference. Note cutting fluid, not lubricating oil. Cutting fluid is designed to bring metals together, not keep them apart like lubricating oil

You must have some free play or the throw out bearing ring will wear through the clutch actuation fingers

Another thought is finding an appropriate size boat trailer and adding a deck. There are lots of long skinny boat trailers around. Finding a used one would be a lot cheaper than a custom build, but would require some fabrication work. As a bonus you may be able to score something galvanized

Anybody own one of these and have feedback? Looks useful if on the pricy side https://www.maxxtuff.com/maxxtuff-ropsrider-xhd-tractor-basket

Here's a chinesium version 320lbs for 3k extends to 20ft and has a 180lb lift capacity at full extension. May be okay for limited use and light beams. https://www.palletforks.com/skid-steers/booms/20-ft-economy-telescoping-truss-boom/194130.html

Glad this worked for your slow speed application, but I certainly wouldn't want to take a torch to heat treated steering components for any high speed application where failure could lead to catastrophic consequences like rolling the vehicle

My 5220 is 3" longer and about 400 lbs lighter if tractordata is to be believed. No problem picking up 3000 lbs 8' off the ground with my loader which is about that loader's limit with about 1100 lb worth of backhoe counterweight on the 3pt. Slow speed, level ground mandatory and preferably mfwd...

Another option along the lines of making the existing process easier is replacing the drain plug(s) with these:

I got a correct bolt pattern center and ring from Hey Wheel and welded them together at the correct offset when I was searching for front wheels for a grey market compact MF with an oddball hub and pattern

Have you considered a snowmobile trailer? Here's a fancy aluminum one but you may find something suitable: https://www.wintersrec.com/product/2021-eagle-america-ax22-ex1-aluminum-snowmobile-trailer/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwtJKqBhCaARIsAN_yS_kz2PkSaLNR1781dzLfjDbKOcIHBHe11JP6ZqbXOc1iPZyISZvM_ekaAqoaEALw_wcB

Amazing how versatile tractors are. Here's avoiding the purchase/rental of a rough terrain gantry crane to pull an inboard motor out of a 23' cuddy cabin boat with a 7' high transom

For future readers: My splitting setup using 20k machine skates. 4x4 wood block is placed and screwed in to channel on jack

Hopefully your issue is in the ball joint itself where you can weld in a replacement. 1/4" is a lot of movement for a single ball joint. Hopefully the tapered seat in the knuckle is not wallowed out like a much older/higher hour tractor I repaired recently. The tapered seat part that bolted to...

I'd be interested to see what the realistic on time is under load at 80 degrees versus at 10 degrees and at year 1 versus year 5. It would seem to me that at current battery technology levels, electric tractors have a place in the riding lawnmower segment and as a hybrid diesel...

That's been my experience as well. The JD ones are usually the best price from one of the online green farm parts or green parts store etc

Welcome Part number doesn't come up but it does by make/model: WL10343

I imagine the product likely clogged the case vent which causes increased pressure inside the case and fluid to come out strange places. I suggest locating and cleaning out the vent and replacing the fluid with the factory spec fluid. Those leak stop products are designed to swell fiber type...

It should list compatible models in the install instructions which should be available from Kubota

Suggest applying 12v directly to the horn, then using a ohmmeter to test the horn switch and voltmeter to see if getting power to the switch to determine if issue is horn, switch, wiring

Welcome Suggest posting the make and model of the pump, IMing thepumpguys on this forum, and/or contacting Spencer Diesel in Indiana

Repeated spring breakage is either due to poor design or poor quality heat treat. Since you didn't have the same one break both times it's possible your tractor got a bad heat treat batch from the factory and replacement of the second one may remedy the issue for the life of the tractor. If I...

HF diesel compression tester kit on coupon special for $40 expires tomorrow 11/2: https://go.harborfreight.com/coupons/2023/10/181465-64917/

Actually looks like the answer is yes. Look at southern global part number ma-h2401 and click on the compatible tractors tab. Lists E14/15

I would suggest looking at whether the exhaust manifolds for the different models interchange. If they do then the muffler assembly certainly will. Maybe it's bigger tubing but unlike gas engines that's irrelevant when dealing with diesel

Now that I think about it you may consider replacing the crappy fragile block coolant drain plug with a brass one

Also be aware that the MF205 used the Toyosha S107 which was a slightly larger version of the S88

You can get a service manual reprint for a Massey Ferguson MF205 from Jensales which is the same tractor. Searching for MF205 muffler yields a number of results -you can even buy one on (sc)Amazon. Be careful as the 205 is a common Massey Ferguson industrial tractor -you need the MF205 or...

Also try Hey Wheel out of KS if you can't locate the front wheels used

Or surplus center. Weldable sprockets on hub

A competent machinist can make, harden, and finish grind valve seats for you if you find they're made of unobtainium

I would try a good hydraulic shop that rebuilds cylinders. Bring them the pieces -they stock all kinds of round seals by size. They can likely match up something that will work

I would start by physically detaching, wire brushing, and reattaching cables at battery and ground points regardless of what they look like on physical inspection

Mine does not have any weights welded on and runs fine after end bearing replacement. Agree with above

I want one

I went through a bit of that and the answer for me was Toyota

If it comes down to it a good hydraulic shop can replace the rod from chromed rod stock

Wow that's impressive! I'm thinking maybe inadequate heat treatment on the cylinder rod. IMO having the expectation that it be covered under warranty is completely reasonable

Welcome to the forum You'll want to tell us what you are working on and describe what you are looking at in order to get any kind of meaningful response. Like tracking back where the wires come from and what kind of gauges/controls you have on the dash

I use an appropriate size piece of vinyl tucked inside and glued with flexible fabric glue

On many other Shibaura models there's a box in the hydraulics usually mid mount that has a diverter valve control that needs to be set 90degrees to use a front loader. I'm sure others can chime in here with details about your particular model

On the other hand, the part for a tractor discontinued 31 years ago is still available for purchase. How many other brands can say the same?

I'm willing to bet the hardness on the caps is considerably higher than the ID of the yoke

Gates (and competitors) make V belts in 30 degree, 37 degree, 38 degree, and 40 degree for many OEMs and angle is dependent on application and engineering principles. Deere is not in the belt manufacturing business (nor is any tractor manufacturer afaik) and so doesn't have proprietary belts...

I would take the steering wheel cover replacement as a good sign that the previous owner likely took good care of their equipment as they cared enough to spend money on cosmetic pieces

Part W?

Since it ran properly for 10 minutes it seems we may be in the right track. I suggest looking at the business end of that connector and seeing if there's a spring and bar in there

Start by pulling/reseating your quick connects. If that doesn't work give us more info about which hydraulics what makes it better/worse etc

Did you try prying up on the bolt head while you unscrew? If the threads are toast sometimes this is effective

Per tractor data that one didn't come hydrostatic (?) OP: have you adjusted your clutch free play?

OP: you mentioned you looked at the flywheel teeth. Did you put a ratchet on the harmonic balancer bolt and look at all the teeth through an entire revolution?

Did you try removing and reseating the hydraulic feed line/return couplers?

I second the Teflon tape idea as it's much less likely to get into your pump ($$$$)

Amazon implicitly condones the selling of fakes by doing absolutely nothing to the seller for illegal false advertising/outright fraud and refusing to allow you to leave a review warning others that it is fake

Sounds to me like the solenoid to pull out the starter gear is weak. The solenoid/relay/starter motor is all a single package in a Ford 3000 so that leaves you with verifying that you are getting full battery voltage at the starter terminal post and if good replacing the starter

I would look closer at that seat switch connector and your bypass to see if anything has changed or corroded. Since it's happening instantly with both gear and PTO engagement it's likely the operator presence (seat) switch portion of the circuit. I had a Deere seat connector that had a spring...

Looks like you're in business:

Hello all, I'm adding 2 remotes on a compact tractor and went looking for a universal 4 hole coupler mounting bracket that mounts to the ROPS or can be modified to do so. I would think that such a thing would be a common item, but I'm not finding anything? I see a few 2 coupler mounts but I...

Messicks for new parts All States Ag or Southern Global for used Agri-services out of New York for a replacement wiring harness

If it's not a seat spring, in my experience a spring that robust doesn't tend to drop from where it was installed. Rather they are usually under a certain amount of tension/compression and more resemble a rocket when they fall out of assembly. I would hazard a guess it's from something/somewhere...

I learned recently that ethylene glycol antifreeze manufacturers now put a bitterant chemical in to make it less attractive to children/animals. Unclear if it's only some vs all manufacturers or if there's some sort of recent regulatory mandate

I don't understand people that call themselves "machinists". If they already had it chucked up to turn down why didn't they just single point the threads with a carbide threading tool? Basic Machining 101. I don't do this for a living but I have enough experience to avoid using dies to cut new...

I've looked for wheel cross application info before and never found a good source that crosses brands. 6 lugs are easy to measure center to center on opposite lugs, then measure the center hole on your other wheel I've had good luck with Hey Wheel for oddball lug patterns.They can sell you...

Make sure you regularly expose and lube the driveshaft between the motor and the hydrostat which is not in the maintenance schedule. Lack of lube here makes for a 500hr time bomb. Also make sure you understand you are getting a cat 1 limited and not a true cat 1 3pt. I bought a 2210 (almost...

When I replaced that seal on mine I used a full size coffee can and my air over hydraulic press -turned out it was just the right size and I knew when it was fully seated when the coffee can just started to buckle

No clearly a chi-com "weather" balloon...

If it's a common enough problem, wonder if a filter relocation kit is a business opportunity for some enterprising individual

Try Hey Wheel in KS

My understanding from my fluid dynamics course (a long time ago) was that despite the piston displacing a certain mathematical volume each stroke, the air charge density (which is what really counts from a AFR perspective) is going to vary considerably dependent on temperature/outside air...

I had a 205-4 the next model down & it didn't have that switch. Parts can be tough for these. As I recall I had the best luck with Southern Global in MS -they source new parts and have a junkyard of gray market tractors

Interesting, I have had the opposite experience with Surplus Center hoses. Mine came with US made hose material, looked to be good quality, and have provided good service for several years now. Wonder if their materials/quality have changed over time?

My local gravel place sells by the yard and is actually cheaper per yard for delivery because of a 10 yard delivery minimum

I read somewhere that New Holland had to change the paint color as a stipulation of the merger contract

The loader and 3pt can be used at the same time on mine and my loader is plumbed in to the block pictured in post 36

The 203s had a standard transfer case mated to a differential module that can be locked via shifter, so I stand corrected on that point, thanks! So that makes them a selectable AWD/4WD unit depending on whether that differential addon unit is locked...

"Rapid unscheduled disassembly"

Also try WS Equipment in Litchfield Park AZ. 623 853 6984. He specializes in used groundskeeping equipment and parts.

You appear to be confusing a full time non-shiftable transfer case with a differential. A differential has an internal mechanism that allows the two output shafts to vary their rotational speed in relation to each other. An axle type (true) differential allows one output shaft (axle) to...

Chain driven fixed ratio output shafts = not a differential. Full time vs part time is irrelevant

I was referring to the 3rd differential in trucks comment in post 11

Technically a true 4WD transfer case is not a differential but an AWD transfer case is. Has to do with fixed versus variable ratios between output shafts

Makes me think the Korean tractor industry may be following the same track as the Korean auto industry: importing cheap unreliable rattletrap 100k throwaway garbage for the first couple decades before getting their act together in the quality department. Personally, those couple decades soured...

I know some folks are happy with their Kujke engines/tractors, but this thread and post 88 makes me never want to even consider owning one

I think it's a matter of preference and what you're doing with it. My experience has been that HSTs are convenient for frequent slow speed forward/reverse jobs but personally I feel like they just don't put the power to the ground like a geared tractor does

Looks like the spline end and hub end are both still good; so could be annealed, cut, machined new center section, and welded/ re heat treated. A bit labor intensive but certainly doable by a competent shop. Certainly would be cheaper to find a salvage one from a junkyard

I suspected as much, thanks for confirming

Sounds like you'll need to support your loader so you can pull the frame bracket on that side. Maybe a chainfall, come along, block and tackle, etc. off your roof trusses if you have suitable ones. Alternatively building/borrowing/renting a gantry or you may get away with a large cherry picker...

Do you have access to a forklift or another running loader? One guy can use it to pick up your bucket slowly while the other holds the scv open so the cylinders can drain

That looks fantastic! How frequently do you have to dump it? Also looks high dollar. I didn't see a price on the website how much do they get for those?

My knee mill is a Do-All branded heavy variable speed 3hp 9x49 made in Taiwan in the late 80s early 90s -don't remember the company name that actually made it off the top of my head. Spindle runout hovers around 0.001" which is fine for what I do with that machine, so I never looked into bearing...

I'm thinking the shock and side loading system characteristics for a zero turn belt idler are going to be a different/harsher operating environment than a relatively more rigid and relatively cleaner serpentine system with a robust constant force tensioner in an automotive application

I haven't needed to replace the ones in my Taiwanese heavy Bridgeport clone yet. These were ABEC 7s in a workbench size mill head. I would have been fine with the ABEC 5s but I got a screaming deal surplus on the 7s which otherwise would likely have cost as much as a new head assembly

Regarding the several comments about the small amount of grease in a sealed bearing - I was replacing the spindle bearings in one of my milling machines. The design took 2 angular contact high precision bearings which were sealed only on the outside surface and the spindle was set up to use...

If that were mine I'd be investing in some self adhesive insulating material for that plastic. Even if it doesn't light on fire it will dry out and break over time

To the OP, the 3 bottoms are much more common. You may be able to get a smaller one and remove the rear plowheads as an option

Yes, you can plow both ways/trips across the field and still have your rollover spoil turn the same direction every furrow

Rust-Oleum Farm & Implement paint also comes in "Ford Gray". Are you able to compare?

The more you use the quicker you need to buy a replacement bottle the more product they sell the more profit they make at the expense of the consumer

I've got an old Oliver 2 bottom rollover mouldboard type. It's been a while since I measured but I believe the plows are 20" long each. It's quite heavy and a previous owner put hardfacing on the edges. Takes a hydraulic cylinder to flip. It looks like the 2 bottom version of the one in the pic...

If it's not a spec typo, it sure seems like deliberate deception on the part of the manufacturer which would make me wonder what else they are being deceptive on I've heard of manufacturers using "unsprung weight" by subtracting the weight of the running gear for example

Auto parts store sells fuel specific rubber-like substance line by the foot in high pressure and low pressure varieties

Makes me wonder what the actual profit margins are for the cardboard and staples that passes for an RV these days

By the advertising verbiage makes me wonder if 8k axles but derated for something like tires to 14.5k gvwr versus the 16k. I would think that if you're seriously considering it would warrant a phone call before purchase

Are you not able to use hardline and bending/flaring tools?

Sounds like a nomenclature error to me. Likely the gvwr is 14.5k with axles rated 7250 each. Payload is gvwr as determined by the lowest rated component minus trailer tare weight.

I got quoted by two local professionals here at around $50k+ flat fee & 5-12 months out. I can rent a dozer for a week with delivery & pickup for $3500 for a D3 size & $4500 for a D5/6 size +fuel 2-3 months out. I understand it is substantial work and I'm paying for expertise here along with...

My apologies I should have provided some more information here. The canal was hand dug, not carved by prior rains/floods. And by hand dug, I mean literally as it dates back to the 1800s. It begins on my property close to my eastern uphill fenceline about 400 feet from where I need the road to...

I'm not interested in halfa$$ing this so this makes me think I may need to sign up for the dozer rental several months out after all. Road graders are even farther out

Thanks for the detailed response! This is mountainous western Montana, about half loam half clay with a mild-moderate number of rocks, most 6" or less on the long side. Topsoil ranges from 2-6" thick. Yes to snow, 50lbs/square ft snow load roof ratings and 48" frost line. Road runs across the...

Doer with enough information to be dangerous is where I'm at right now and I'm not interested in doing this twice. The whole point of the forum is trying to learn from the experience of others. And to point out the obvious, you're also posting here

I have a need to cut a new road around 1500' long and make a pad ~80' foot square in a mixed pasture/sagebrush area on a 2-4 degree slope (no trees in the way). The road runs generally across/along the slope. The dirt is a loam/clay mix which I would call mildly rocky. I have not cut a new road...

I have a Deere Progator which is made for golf courses. They come 2wd or 4wd with a 5spd manual with a real differential. There is also a lever you can pull to lock the rear differential for more traction. They have a 4x5.5' hydraulic dump bed with a 2000lb capacity and the newer ones can be set...

I wonder if 700 lbs less will really make a meaningful real world difference and how much cash you would need to shell out to make it happen. Depending on your uses for it and the climate you plan to use it in, you may get away with a golf cart on a light trailer like a 300lb HF 4x8 special...

Are they ready to order?

You can buy universal ones for the size pipe stub on the air cleaner. Generally cheaper than $28

Of course they don't want chemo entering their bodies - traditional chemo acts to suppress actively dividing cells and it doesn't discriminate between cancer cells and other rapidly dividing cells like skin, hair, intestinal & urinary tract linings, sperm count, etc. That's the reason for most...

Agree on most points. Potentially dangerous adverse reactions/effects are one of the reasons for the FDA designating a drug as prescription only; although another determination is that benefits must outweigh risks. A "me-too" drug is another drug in the same class as an existing drug but...

Agree with others - use CAD: cardboard aided design

Congrats on your purchase! Hope it serves you well! Deere had this feature available at least as early as 2002 on my 5220 -may be on other makes as well

If there's any kind of coating/nonstick on that (many types), it contains PTFE (Teflon). PTFE + high heat (~540degrees F) = a bunch of fluoropolymer poisons. Pots are relatively cheap; if there's any doubt whether there's a coating or not, IMO buy a new pot.

There's lots of fantastic outdoor things to see in July. Here are a few of my preference: 1) Yellowstone 2) Grand Canyon 3) Niagra Falls 4) Yosemite and sequoia area (natural and historical) 5) West coast beaches 6) Chesapeake Bay area (natural and historical) & bridge/tunnel 7) Florida...

Phoenix in July is a special kind of hell at 118+ degrees F

Offering goodies and junkets, called "detailing", is no longer legal as of around 2007-2010. (Alas, no more Viagra pens...). Drug companies now have restrictions about how they can contact providers and pharmacists -mostly they can only reach out to provide education and there are rules for how...

Both direct to consumer drug ads and class action lawsuit ads used to be illegal. Both were made legal after prolonged lobbying by each industry

I have a 2007 NQR with a 5.2L diesel and an 18.5' flatbed with trailer hitch. The NQR in the US is the 5 ton version with a 19k gvwr (2 steps up from the US NPR model and 1 step down from the NRR 6 ton model). Upsides are it will haul/tow 26k+ lbs up any grade I have pointed it at, gets 9mpg...

Unclear where the toting, wheelbarrows, and wagons come from? Fill cistern and chlorinate before grid goes down, use cistern for drinkable water only using gravity or short depth hand pump -should last months. When getting low, use generator to run well pump to refill. A little prep here...

Have you thought about a large underground cistern filled from the well when you have power? Chlorinate and swap out the water once a year. If only used for drinking, 10,000 gallons goes a long way. Then use the generator to refill

Wow that's cheap containers are 5k+ for 20' and 6.5k+ for 40' here

Agree on most points. My point of ramp up/down settings is if you try to run default vfd settings on a high inertia application say a flywheel run mechanical punch/press or a large lathe chuck you're asking for problems

There are ramp up & ramp down settings on the better VFDs that depend on the inertia of your load and if set incorrectly can cause issues like overloading and erroring out the vfd at startup or overrunning and potentially causing the motor to act as a generator at shutdown and what the vfd...

Both in Arizona and Montana when you do a title transfer on any trailer, the DMV/MVD clerk asks you what weight you want the trailer titled/registered as. I currently have 2 10k trailers and several single axle trailers so I've never needed to derate one, but I've been told it's common for...

Thus my recommendation for a 14k flat bottom dump trailer registered with the DMV/MVD as a 10k, keep your tow vehicle under 12k, and make sure your excavator hauled in the trailer is under 10k or so depending on the unloaded weight of your trailer

I asked this very question here a while back: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/trailer-towing-question-class-6-truck-without-cdl.458949/ Seems the consensus is unless you have and are operating under an RV or state specific farm exemption; if you want to haul a 10k gvwr trailer...

Agreed, thus the frame reinforcement comment

I've seen a number of wrecked travel trailers that have decent frame/axles/tongue for cheap because they don't have a deck. Buying one of these, reinforcing the frame and fabbing a deck might also be a cost effective way to get what you need. Going this route also bypasses any homemade trailer...

The elegant solution is wiring a delay circuit with a relay and timer that holds the circuit closed (running) until you've been off the seat for a second or two. This requires some minimal electronics knowledge and likely mounting a small waterproof electronics enclosure somewhere. The simpler...

You might want to price everything out -steel, deck material, running gear etc. before you dive in. If your goal is making a cheaper trailer than you can buy, you may be surprised that you're not saving much if anything and you're investing many hours of labor. If your goal is making something...

Seems like the rops isn't in a place that protects the operator in a rollover. Maybe the thought is that it prevents it from rolling all the way over?

The 2210 is the same size as the 2305, 1023, 1025. While this is certainly true of larger tractors, the 2210 is one size up from the larger X series garden tractors and the hubs are relatively small. But yes they are heavier than they look and a dropped/broken casting is expensive

Suggest checking and comparing part numbers for bellhousings clutches etc. for your model versus other Shibaura made Fords from around the same era to see if potential motors will bolt up to your drivetrain. Tractordata and Messicks' websites may be helpful here. The next model up 1710 had a...

I would start by disassembling, inspecting, and cleaning out your rock shaft control valve. It controls the flow of hydraulic fluid out of the rock shaft/3 point piston/cylinder assembly and cuts off the flow altogether and locks the 3 point when the knob is run all the way in. If that's...

This one is more my size from a recent thread. Looks tremendously useful -5k capacity, hydraulic dump, & seat reverses to go either direction I want one

etpm: if you're looking to fab up a crimper, I wonder if something like a Jacobs type rubber flex collet would work forced into a mating taper? Not sure you would get enough travel or if they would hold up but they are hardened, rated to exert substantial pressure, and are readily available in...

When I was having some automotive hydraulic brake hoses made up a number of years ago, I was told by the shop owner that the crimping tools for making them actually embossed a small identifier into the fitting so that if it failed it could be traced back to the machine that made it which was...

I haven't tried it but I wonder if one of the mini cutoff saws would work to cleanly cut through hose? It doesn't have abrasive media to add to the kerf 2 in. Mini Benchtop Cut-Off Saw

You could find a way to encourage them out such as having a water or power or heating/air conditioning problem or something structurally with the mobile... And lo and behold parts are on backorder guess they'll need to stay in a hotel for now... etc. If you're clever you can engineer it so as...

Cylinder blow-by which is compressed air-fuel mixture escaping past the piston rings will create pressure in the crankcase. Since the crankcase is a closed system it's gotta escape from somewhere which is your crankcase vent usually in your valve cover. When you open the oil fill cap you are...

Noise reduction, easier starting, and reduced component wear. When I adjusted the valves on a new to me Isuzu diesel with 260k miles, the engine noise seemed to be reduced to about half of what it was before.

The third pic is a Yanmar tracked dump -do you have more info about it? Like a model number?

I'm trying to understand how they got an 8 sec quarter mile out of a 2wd car that has enough road manners to sell at a dealership without mods like slicks trans brake etc. not to mention the NHRA required roll cage flexplate shield d-shaft loop and parachute etc. for 150+ mph

This got me thinking about how many engines I actually have and maintain which is considerably more than I would have guessed off the cuff. Then it makes me think that maybe torque should be counted for diesels instead of hp

Don't know what the input shaft looks like but most shafts can be duplicated by a competent machinist or repaired by a competent welder. As for seals, you can match up the ID, OD, thickness, and seal type (i.e. single lip, double lip, etc.) online (try SKF for example) or at your local bearing...

I agree that seems rather excessive IMO. I haven't priced them lately but that price seems to be at or more than a new Koyker/Westendorf/etc. loader for your size tractor. My 1720 is also a Shibaura-made Ford close in size to your 1910. It has an Allied loader on it which is rated for 1000lbs to...

I'm not entirely clear -takes 30-40 seconds of cranking but takes second or two after preheat? By pre-heat I'm assuming you mean the glow plugs energizing? Or do you mean restarting a warm tractor? If glow plugs are meant, then you're saying your glow plug circuit is slow to energize on cranking...

Try Energy Suspension -they list their products by size & may have one that will work. Also, the bushings can be made using the inner and outer sleeves and pour-in urethane. Looks like one of your outer sleeves is chewed & may need to be made from appropriate size tubing or on a lathe. Try...

Maybe I'm lazy but if the branches weren't too thick that would be a mulching job for my flail mower during a mowing pass. Any big chunks that were left after being pummeled with the flail hammers I'd pick up

Samuel Clemens' hierarchy of evil: lies, d@mn lies, then statistics

I'm also a big fan of red atf 50:50 with acetone. I put it in one of these and use the compressor - never going back to liquid wrench or pb blaster https://www.amazon.com/Vaper-19426-Refillable-Aluminum-Bottle/dp/B07NPKHLKF/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?keywords=refillable+spray+paint+can&qid=1679191107&sr=8-9

I understand what you're asking for but I think it's a unicorn. IMO the chances that the Chinese company that manufactures those lights 1) actually performed a rigorous luminosity mapping for them ($$$$) and 2) makes that mapping available on the internet somewhere for the asking are just about...
