Still playing with the smoker. Smoked some sausage stuffed banana peppers from the garden I made this summer, and put in the freezer. They cooked up way quicker than I expected, so dropped the temps to hold them, while I made some tomato gravy. They look overly done, but aren't. Maybe just the...

I'm wondering if anyone here, has sown Renovation Clover Renovation | White Clover on their hay ground, and how it performed. I wanted to sow a legume in my stand of hay, along with a bit of Alfalfa at a low percentage, yet enough to put some nitrogen in the ground, to help feed the Fescue, and...

I need to re-seed part of my small hay field, due to running short on hay, and buying a couple not so good round bales, with some noxious weeds in them, a couple years ago. When I spread the manure from around the hay feeder with these seeds in it onto the hay field, I got a growth of some not...

Does anyone recognize the brand of mower in the picture..?? I've been around a few in my time, but don't know that I've ever seen a gear box on one quite like this. I'm thinking it maybe an imported model,with that style gear box. Looks to be in decent physical condition, but my main concern is...

Can anyone tell me if the the color coded wiring schematic is in the OEM service manual..?? I bought an '87. 1204 yesterday for cheap, to use with my Mow & Vac. Problem is, the owners grandson, cut the pigtail, along with I'm assuming several inches of wire, and removed the ignition switch, to...

I know of only one other person that has one of these spreaders like I do, but if anyone has one, or a Calhoun brand spreader like it, this calibration chart should work for it to. I didn't see any threads specifically for manuals, or info like this, so figured this would be the best place to...

I've been wanting one of these for 40-some years, finally had the spare change, and for the right price. I have a complete FH located for it, working on the details to get it here. Then to find a single 16" FH plow, and, maybe a set of 2-12's. Something else to pow the garden, and take to the...

I came across this this morning, while on another forum. Maybe this will help some of the guy's that have the older Ford or Ferguson plows that can't get shares & moldboards for. I don't imagine they will be cheap, but for the one's plowing gardens, or small acreage, should last for years. It...

I bought a Coleman 4000 watt Generator day before yesterday, in almost like new condition, for a really good price. The fellow said it would generate, if you would excite it, jumping across two poles he showed me, with a 6V lantern battery. He said once you did this, it was good for a couple of...

This may not be the place to post this, but figured it may get more exposure here, as I've seen more than several threads looking for one of these tools. I've been wanting one myself for several years. Saw one a couple of years ago, but had like a spigot knob handle, and more then likely made...

Mowing some overgrown pasture here today, and working the little A pretty hard. It was in the low 90's, and it died twice. First time, I found a little gob of snot in a port in the carb. Second time, about 20 minutes later, it was clean as a pin. As hot as it was, and as hard as it was...

Thought I'd post a pic, and a short video of the automatic flip plow I have. My cousin got it for my Dad, for his, now my, Super C Farmall about 40 years ago. Dad started to get it ready to use, but instead found a 2 bottom plow, and used it instead. Figured it was about time it earned its keep...

Looks like the lime, potash, and composted horse 'nure kicked in, and made a pretty decent patch of hay this year. The knockdown bar on the ole' IH 990 MoCo is about 24" high. Red Top Clover & Alfalfa was 8" to 10" higher than the bar, Rye grass even taller. Had to put the TA in the low side, in...

The OTP is a group of folks that would include Hikers, Mountain Bikers, and Equestrians, that work cooperatively with the Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources, keeping various types of trails in State Parks & Forests maintained. I thought I'd post some pictures of what our group did last weekend...

Pulled this from my Facebook page, and had to post...

Thought maybe you'd enjoy seeing this. It's going to be at an auction near Cincinnati, OH Jan. 25. I've seen a few of the IH Demo's of various colors, but never a Ford. The ad says it's an 871. Just wondering how much more it would bring, if the paint were original, even if it did look...

Was wondering if anyone has bought one of the aftermarket gov's for the 9N's, and if they have had any problems with them. Trying to help an old buddy of mine in town that found out the little clip on the gov. shaft broke/wore through, and pretty much let it have pups internally. Knocked the...

Thought I'd share some pics I found, while in the process of moving. This was back in the mid-80's, when I used to show, and pull my little BN. Some fond memories here... :) Side shot is coming out of the hole, enroute to a full pull..!! Front shot is of 'er walkin' tall for me, during...

Has anyone else had problems with the AGCOPartsbook showing the exploded view of parts..?? It will show the table of contents, and part description, but a blank space where the exploded view should be. I've tried the menu as fas as trying to show the pic, and/or remove more then several times...

BIL has a '93, 14 h.p. Kohler on his Wheel Horse. I'm guessing the fuel pump is getting weak, and letting fuel gravitate back to the fuel tank after setting for like a week between mowings. Has to grind on it for a while before it seems to pick up the fuel. Once it starts, it runs fine. Possibly...

Here's a couple pics of my '46 McCormick-Deering OS-6. The first pic was taken in 1978, the year I restored the old girl. It was taken across the road from the Athen's Co. Ohio Fairgrounds where we were showing, with the Hocking River, and White's Mill in the background. It was shown for 10...

We used to send in samples of oil out of our equipment at work, for wear factor purposes. But can they tell me what I have, if I send them a sample of new oil..?? There is a 15 gallon drum full of oil in Dad's shop with no markings on it. I have filled a small oil can out of it, just to see what...

Anyone have an idea what this would be worth..?? It was built by Stewart & Stevenson in Huston, Texas, according to the brass tag, for the USMC. I'm assuming the vintage is late 60's early 70's. I got this for emergency power more than several years ago. At the time I got an extra blower...

Got to give a Rave about my new Corona Oscillating hoe. :thumbsup::thumbsup: I give it a two thumbsup..!! I looked at the big box stores, and what they had. Just wanted something a little sturdier built. Saw some @ Johnny's Seed's, but pretty pricey. Found the Corona site, and their hoes, and...

I don't seem to see too many pics of D-B's actually at work, so posted a few of my D-B 5 hp. Special in the garden hilling sweet corn. She's not a trailer queen, she was built to work..!! :)

Finally got to play in the dirt some today, and try out my David Bradley seeder I went through 2 years ago. Hooked it up to my all original 1955, DB Deluxe Super 3 tractor(Top of the line for Sears & Roebuck 2 wheelers in 1955). Seemed to do a good job of dropping the first variety of sweet...

Has anyone ever tried this..?? I'm in the process of rebuilding an old Florence coal stove for my new shop. Some of the machine screws were pretty tough to get out of a cast iron parts. I knew I'd be putting some sort of never-seize back on them, ( I was thinking nickel type) 'cause someday I...

I'm considering on reseeding my hayfield in Teff grass. Just wondering if anyone here in Ohio, Indiana, KY., or PA. has tried it, and what they think of it. Other than being an annual, it seems to fit the bill here for my horses. I've read until my eye's are blurry about planting...

Been a couple busy weeks juggling between getting the new 320 amp service set up with transfer switch for generator hookup, and getting beams cleaned up, plates welded, uprights anchored in concrete, and finally the beam set today. Some re-grading to do on the subgrade, then after the Labor Day...

A little setback to a project in the works. Had recorded winds of 81 mph. at the airport 7 miles away, Friday evening. Took out the back OH door to my new horse barn. Called the door mfg. to see if the had a minimum wind load engineered into their doors. Nope. Hmmm... :(

I've noticed there are some folks on here with smaller tractors, and maybe some needing new tires. Found these quite by accident, while searching for some 7.50-16 bias traction tires for my 1 ton dump. 14.9-24 10 ply R1's for $99.00. Also 5.00-15 R1's, for like the David Bradley 2-wheelers...

I've been searching for the last 3 days for a decent looking 7.50-16 bias traction tire for my little '93 Chevy1 ton dump. I still prefer my nylon thumpers in this application. I called umteen tire stores here in Ohio, and all tell me the don't handle them anymore. I did find 2, but need 4...

Seems the last few years, the Carpenter Bee's have really gotten bad around the homeplace. A person can't even set at the picnic table to take a break, without fine sawdust fitering down, let alone eat a samm'ich... So..., went to Google for a solution. Saw where guys are making Carpenter Bee...

Hoping FWJ or Sounguy see's this... Could someone check and verify, the attached picture of the wiring diagram of the 180 diesel..?? I need to know if the wiring from the generator, to vreg is correct, as shown in this picture. This is direct from the AGCO Partsbook. It shows "A" post to "F"...

This is how a 4020 was listed in the auction listing, that sold last Saturday, about 5 miles from me. Wish I could have gone. Everything he had was really well taken care of. Sweet '72 JD 4020 tractor w/open station, diesel, wf, side console, 480/85R34, & 3660 hrs (SN-268192R) A...

Has anyone converted their 3 cyl. Ford, to a spin on oil filter..?? Seems like it would be a lot handier, and more economical to do. Since the new gaskets for the old cartridge type come folded over in it's little plastic envelope, lets just say, last years oil change got expensive... :mad...

Saw this on Columbus, Ohio Craigslist, and thought I'd post the ad. Looks like a decent deal, and should be able to ship Priorty Mail, if they would... ford tractor and loader manuals

I couldn't find any earth augers to suit me, for anchoring my end, and gate posts for my new fence. The one's at TSC were either too short, or the auger part was too small to suit me, and just pretty thin. And, @ $9.99 ea., and still not what I wanted, decided to make my own. I bought a stick...

Hoping some of the older fella's here will know something about this. A friend is wanting to grind corn meal, to sell. Another friend has an old Letz Burr Mill she has had for years. I know these were designed to grind feed, but have found in other forums, that people have ground meal with...

Got the hardware on my last two stall doors yesterday,and a coat of sealer on them... Love that Cannonball track..!!

Just wondering if anyone who has replaced the rubber brake hose on their Case hoe's has found an aftermarket one, or one in an auto type application that will work. I googled the part number, and no aftermarket ones came up. Yeah, call me a tightwad for something so important.. Just seems...

Saw this on Columbus, OH Craigslist... WOW..!! It really is rare..!! Just thought you guys could use a chuckle... I'm just wondering if he really believe's that it is..?? LOL.... 1937 wheel horse!!!!!!!!!!! (grove city oh)...

Looks like I became the proud owner of a 530 Case hoe yesterday..!! Yeah, not even close to top of the line, but will do for what I need it for, and the price was extremely reasonable...!! I can believe the overall condition of it. The guy was meticulous on keeping it up, other than maybe the...

I've got a rough idea in my head, to build a fore and aft travel, hyd. adjustable front mounting plate for my post driver. This will be mounted on my M-F 180. I'm thinking I'll proably doing a lot of the post driving myself, or my GF driving the tractor, when she can... I'm picturing a lot of...

It doesn't look good... Split the 180 today to see just what is going on. Found the gear on the Aux. pump split in 3 pieces, 3-4 teeth missing on the idler gear, and the pump locked up tighter than a bulls fanny in fly time... At least the main drive gear wasn't damaged. Apparently that's...

Here is a project we are working on known as the Moonville Rail Trail. Through private grants, and donations, we purchased a section of abandoned B&O railbed, acquired from a private owner, who purchased it from the now CSX railroad. On this section of rail trail is a tunnel known as the...
