I needed to rent a field roller the other day and I was told I needed a Hammer Strap on my drawbar. I went to Case and they wanted $175 for one to fit my tractor. Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts on getting on made and maybe not paying that much? My tractor is a 2016 Case Farmall 75 C...

Fun time planting trees in Montana today. Planted Caragana, Hawthorn, Chokecherry, Golden Currant and Serviceberry today. Fun times.

It is cold and snowy here, but not enough snow to plow. So I am playing on the computer and looking at tillers. I sold my 72 inch KK with I used for 6 years. It worked great but I want a bigger tiller. I am looking at the John Deere 681 and the Land Pride RTA 3576. My tractor is a Case...

I was talking to a friend today. He said he had a local welding shop cut a grove in a 2inch pipe so he could slip the pipe over the mold board on his blade. They also put a couple of attachment points on the pipe and he used rubber tarp fasteners to hold the pipe in place. He said this...

I am upgrading my tiller and looking for feedback/reviews. I don't find much on the web. I have approximately 5 miles of tilling between the rows of shelter belts to do. I have been using a King Kutter 72" for the past 6 years. It has worked well, but I am adding a lot of trees this spring...

I test drove a Case 75 c the other day at the local dealer. It seemed like a great tractor with a lot of nice options. I can't find that much feedback on the web about them. Looking for any experience s or feedback. Thanks

I have a friend who has a 5325 he is selling. Don't know the price because he is selling it as a package with some equipment. Checked prices on the 5325 they seem to be 34-36k with a cab, loader, and 4x4. An New 5075e is about 50k. Prices on the used 10 year old tractor s seem kind of high...

I want to upgrade my tractor next spring. I have 41.9 acres. Most of it is in hay and I have four big shelter belts. I primarily use my tractor for maintaining the shelter belts and mowing. I would like a big enough machine to move and load round bales. I will also use it to plow snow and other...

I am looking for information on my Case Uni-loader. It is a 1845B. What I can find on the internet says these were made between 1983 and 1985. The stats sheet says it is a 45 HP gas with a 63 inch bucket. Mine is a diesel and has a 73 inch bucket. Does anyone know about these or know of a...

Had my first break down yesterday. The first time I loaned my tractor out and it sprung a leak. Tractor is a 1969 JD 1520. I bought it last winter and have put about 30 hours on it with no problems, in fact it has been running great. Loaned it to the neighbor to mow. He mowed for about 1...

A friend of mine suggested that I get a hydraulic cylinder for the top pin of my three point. It looked like a pretty good idea to me. Does anyone have any advice or experience with a set up like that?

I have a question on my JD 1520. The throttle seems pretty stiff and it has a tendency to jump out of the position it is in back to a lower speed. I'm thinking this is the governor trying to work, but it just doesn't seem right. Is that how it is supposed to be or do we have it adjusted...

Got a lot of work done this week with my old tractor. I finished up (almost) with some planting tonight. Hay barley and wheat. The old tractor did great. The newer drill blew a hydrolic line. I guess you never know.

I used the tractor for the first time the last couple of nights. I put about 4 hours on it and it worked great. The mower and the tiller both worked well. It took a little practice to use the tiller. At first I wasn't sure if I had enough tractor for this tiller. But with a little practice...

I finally got my 1520 home with a fresh new carburetor and a tune up. Mowed for about an hour tonight and it worked great. I wasn't sure how this 40 year old tractor would work. I'd only used much newer tractors. It works great and is pretty easy to use. Looking forward to doing a bunch...

I ordered a new Zenith Carburetor for my JD 1520 today. A friend of mine rebuilt the stock carburetor, but the restictor plate was too worn and it won't run correctly. I've been advised that the new carburetor doesn't have an electronic fuel shut off. Now I will have to cut the gas off...

I'd like to find a source to buy some front end weights for my John Deere 1520. Is John Deere the best source or does anyone know of a better one. I am attaching a picture of a similair tractor that has the weights I am looking for. Thanks-Jon

I bought a KK 72" Tiller for my JD 1520. The tractor is 78" wide. How do I offset the tiller? I'm pretty new to this stuff and I'm just looking for advice.

I'm going to order the springs I asked about a couple of weeks ago for my 1520. I would also like to replace the seat cushions. Is that pretty easy and where is the best place to get them? Thanks-Jon

I've been researching this for a while and today I just pulled the tigger and bought a tiller. It is a 72" Country Line (King Kutter). It is a gear drive which I liked and I thought the price was good $1695. I guess I'll see when I get it home. I hope it works well. :thumbsup:

Does anyone have any advice on getting an after market carb for my 69 JD 1520? A JD one cost upwards of $1000. Thanks=Jon

I have a few questions about buying a tiller for my 1520. I measured the width of my tractor and it is about 78 inches. I am looking at a Used New Holland 105 A 5 foot rotor tiller. Would this tiller be a good match for my tractor? The tiller is a little narrower than the tractor, can I offset...

I ordered a carb kit. A friend of mine rebuilt the carb, went througth the governor (he said it was in great shape) and started adjusting the linkage between the carb and the governor. He said the linkage was pretty sloppy. Is that a part I can replace and if so where?

So as I understand 6 foot tiller would work for my 1969 JD 1520. Any advise on brands and where to buy one? I am going to look at KK as suggested in a previous post.

Ok so I am keeping my 5' King Kutter Mower. I checked it and the blade seems to be fairly dull. Do I need to sharpen it and if so how often?

I'm trying to educate myself on prior to using my tractor this spring. The JD 1520 I bought doesn't have the front side screens on it. A lot of the ones I see on the net do. What are these screens for and do I need them? I am attaching two pictures. One is my tractor. The other is one I...

I have a King Kutter 5 foot mower that I bought with my used JD 1520. A friend of mine has a John Deere 513 mower. We discussed trading them. Both are in like new condition. I liked the 513 because it is green. He could care less, but the 513 seems lighter weigth than my King Kutter. I...

I'm looking forward to spring and using my new old 1520. I would like to buy a rototiller and I am looking to educate myself. What size/type of tiller would work with my old tractor? Also any thoughts or advise on using the tiller? Most of what I will be doing is tilling shelter belts that...

A friend is helping me work on my new (to me) 1969 1520. Apparently the governor doesn't work correctly. The guy I bought it from had a bungee cord on it to keep it off. I ordered a carb kit and electronic ignition. Any ideas on what to do with the governor? Again I'm not a mechanic, so I...

I recently purchased a 1969 John Deere 1520 gas tractor. A friend of mine serviced the tractor for me and it seems to be running well. However the differential lock pedal doesn't spring back like it is supposed to and the brake pedals seem to stick. Any advice on troubleshooting this stuff would...
