    ...and my 2022 Boomer 45 even boasts both NH and LS data plates with their own serial numbers.

    Harbor Freight Liquid Transfer Pump (Stick) failures

    Ha, I just show US customs the receipt and they let me through no problem. My amusing story: I finally bought a new tractor, so needed to accommodate diesel fuel. I ordered the containers on-line (DS Tactical) and planned a day trip to include lunch at an awesome Thai Fusion place nearby. As...

    Harbor Freight Liquid Transfer Pump (Stick) failures

    a) Not clear from cursory read of the thread if this is the failure mode, but I have an old HF manual version of the siphon pump that did not work reliably until we sealed the joints on the pump part with silicone goop. b) Regarding the latter comments, my Canadian Scepter fuel containers have...

    Our Tractor was delivered today

    I agree, before tweaking the rod I would try a wrap of tape/paint first.

    Rear worklight (MT40372309) for Boomer 45 - what is it?

    A rear work light is a factory fitment to the Boomer 45, but not available as a kit. NH parts catalog doesn't include description or parts photos (for the most part). I ordered these parts to make my own worklight kit (hats off to Messicks). I didn't bother with #10-12 power socket. Item...

    International Harvester Comparisons

    I have an IH 444, very close to 424. It is not a bad size on my 5 acres for field maintenance. Feels like a "real tractor" and the power steering makes easy maneuvering. The fixed frame IH 2000 loader always seems in the way working on the motor - the frame is always where I want to reach to...

    Now What ?

    Agree with exploring this approach...neighbor got his old Massey-Ferguson stuck at the bottom of a hill, where the soft mud and slick grass live. He slowly worked it out using the bucket to raise the front out of the ruts and curl forward.

    Please tell me this is not the way oil filters are made...

    Ah, but what does go through the bypass, comes out clean. Way back when, I ran a Fram bypass on an aircooled VW. The factory "filter" was a rock screen and frequent oil changes. The Fram filter always had a metallic sheen on the incoming side come change time so it was taking stuff out of...

    Pipe Threader

    In addition to "Good Post", I want to mention that I have the Rigid pipe threader and endorse the comment that the long handle and a strong bench-mounted vice are needed when doing iron pipe.

    Expected Depreciation in Used Tractors?

    I look on CraigsList off-and-on at old tractors and attachments. The ads that make me wonder about the backstory are the ones I see asking way too much for junk, then I take a break and come back six months later to CL and see the very same ad with zero changes. And the guy pays for the ad...

    Please tell me this is not the way oil filters are made...

    Franz is still around, using in-house filter element because toilet paper changed to soft stuff that turns to mush. Way back, you could find stouter toilet paper, basically, the cheap stuff. I ran one of these bypass filters in the old days and it did a fine job of catching stuff, judging by...

    Gasoline Tractors are they coming Back ?

    I did that with my Ford Explorer. I did keep the battery on charge, though. It had to crank a little on the starter, but fired right up after sitting that long. I think a modern gas tractor with fuel injection would work quite well. The quick warm-up of gas motor would be well matched to the...

    The Howard Model J seems designed for these compact tractors, according to the attached Specifications. Interesting to see Howard offered a reverse gearbox to suit the funky Kubota B6000.

    documentation for Muratori MA series rototiller

    Shifting gears, I did a little research on the Oliver/Cletrac HG42 Crawler. I came across the Operator's Manual at http://vieilles.soupapes.free.fr/oliver_hg31/pdf/oliver_hg.pdf. I'm impressed how much territory it covers, including overhaul instructions. Attached is a (compressed, 16 -> 5 MB)...

    documentation for Muratori MA series rototiller

    I came across a Muratori MA125 rototiller on Craigslist. My research didn't turn up a lot of information on the web from users but did get excellent response from US distributor and OEM in Italy. It looks like spares are available. In addition, Anna tracked down the build date for the example I...

    Ag Tires vs. Turf Tires

    Don't forget: R2 = wet soil (think rice/cane like retired Asian grey-market tractors) R1W = R1 with 20%+ deeper ribs
