Turns out the draft control linkage got ripped off the control arm that goes through the housing. The reason was the control arm that pivots froze up. Had to pull the rear remotes and pull the 3pt control off the side of the tractor in order to mount it in the vise and get it freed up.

I just picked up a baby bobcat for cleaning out the old basement barn. Anyone have a pdf of the service manual they can send me. Looking for service info (fluids change, greese points) as well as adjustment because it creeps.

I've been around the block a time or two. I've mounted my fair share of troublesome tires. Wheelbarrows, yard carts, lawmowers you name it. However I have never had to mount one of the large rear R4 titans on my class 2 CUT. This past week was my first (unpleasant) experience having to...

The time to update the tow vehicle has come. The wife has complained about needing 4wd for the last time when we go get hay on the trailer for the goats. That and the existing 2001 E350 is getting a bit long in the tooth with 225K on it. On the short list is a 2011-2013 Toyota Tundra...

The peoria area was hit with 1/8" of freezeing rain (ice). We had had 2-3" of rain before that and the ground was well past saturated. Then the morning of the ice we also had 30mph winds. That combo (soft soils, heavy trees and wind) ment power lines, poles and trees came down. We were...

I live at a location that is perfect for the local sheriff to setup the mobile scales. They do this bout 3-4 times a year from what i can tell. This morning was one of those times. Of note this morning was the line of "commercial" trucks with trailers he had pulled over. These type thats...

Anyone know of any limitations to back spaceing on standard trailers? Ive been looking for some 16" rims on CL for spare tires for my trailer, and i ran across a set of AL 16" off an GMC truck (6on5.5 that i need) but it occurs to me that stock truck tires from back in the day often featured...

Had my 2001 E350 in for a recall on the cruse control wiring for fire hazard. (as an aside, we dont fix the cruise control deactivation sensor, we just add a fuse to the wireing harness, so when it shorts out, cause its always on, it trips the fuse and you get to do the whole nine yards over...

I seem to have a collection of vertical shaft single cylinder engines commonly found on riding lawnmowers. 12-16hp range. Some of these are still in frames of old lawnmowers others are sitting on a shelf. Id like to do something productive with them, and the idea of converting one or more...

As you may know I picked up a $500 livestock trailer. The goal was to have it road worthy by last weekend (i missed that date by one weekend) to bring some new animals home to the property. I detailed my brake rebuild in a separate thread as that is really independent of the trailer type...

So our current property is an old farmstead from 1910. (house, barn has a chiseled date cornerstone of 1914) Indoor plumbing wasnt until the 20's to 30's and rural electrification wasn't untill mid thirties. so the house predates both. As such the property came with 1) a cistern next to...

I have an abundance of broken concrete chunks that the previous owner of my current property liked to use for all sorts of things. These are mostly flat work chunks 4-6" thick and in various size slabs. I want to get rid of it, but i have a need for gravel. It seems like such a waste to spend...

Ok so i brought home my very first WD hitch for the back of my new E350. While there are many vids out on youtube to document how to setup your WD hitch (even one for an E350) they all seem to feature a fixed tongue weight trailer (aka RV) So setting head tilt and bar tension (by takeing...

SO my friend that relies on her T190 to service her farm is having issues. A friend was running the machine and ran it out of fuel. So they put more fuel in it (15 gal) and still cant get it running. They suspected perhaps the fuel filter was preventing good flow so they replaced it. Still...
