I have a Bush Hog 2715 mower and when I raise the batwing, the blades turn. When I lower it, one of them isn't turning even though it was mowing last week just fine. Here is a video: Any thoughts on what I should do? Is it the slip clutch that may need to be tightened or replaced?

I purchased a 12v upgrade kit to move away from 24v as my starter was on it's last leg. I followed the kit's instructions and nothing happens. I hooked everything up correctly, I believe. Can you help by watching this video I made outlining what goes where and see if I missed anything? Does...

I bought a 4630 tractor and LOVE it. It has a ton more power than what I'm used to. However, as I moved to mowing this year, I find that the flail mower doesn't quite fit. The lift arms don't come together close enough to hook it up (see photo). I know I could probably remove the blocks that...

I have a John Deere 250 Skid Steer. It has worked great for many, many years. The motor always fires up even in 20 degree weather. I parked it after using it one day and filled it from my 100 gallon transfer tank. The diesel in that transfer tank was more than a year old but has been fueling...

I have a John Deere 250 skid steer. I have a bad hydraulic line that I have to replace. My question is... HOW do I undo or loosen this hose? I have highlighted the places where I have put wrenches. As it stands now, the parts circled in red and blue spin/loosen together. I presume I have to...

I bought a 10' roll of this flat chain from John Deere for my 494A planter. I have the length that I need measured. Now, how do I open a link to remove unwanted chain and then re-bend it to create the loop? Is this just a lry job? Do they have a connector link that allows for easy connection...

I traded for this John Deere Van Brunt Model B grain drill. It looks like it is in OK shape and I want to plant some soybeans this year. I cannot get the seed rate adjustment levers to move... They are rusted in place. I assume them lever goes left or right and the whole rod assembly moves...

Ok, I'm feeling silly here but I need help unscrewing a hydraulic hose. Today, I hit a small tree with the tractor and it broke a hydraulic fitting that feeds my John Deere 46A Loader on my John Deere 3020 tractor. It is located next to the left rear tire (obviously on the lower base of the...

If you listen to this engine in this video, the engine sputters and almost dies... then, revs back up. You will notice that the engine is never stable and a half throttle it almost dies and then it races. What could be wrong with it? It never dies all together.... just does this non-stop.

I purchased a John Deere 494A planter. I hooked it up to test the planting and have found it won't drop seed. Everything looks fine..... the drive chains, etc. My first suspect would be the "hydraulic lift". I have a ratchet setup in lieu of the hydraulic cylinder. I am pulling this with a Ford...

I really need this tractor to work... It worked great for a while after I bought it but now doesn't start. I am at the point of just buying another tractor because I need a working one.... But, I am attached to the Ford 8Ns and don't want to do so. It makes better sense to fix this one. To me...

I purchased this 12 volt conversion from psepbiz on ebay for my late-model '52 ford (Serial Number 8N281945*). Here is a link to the item I purchased (Part No AKT0004): Generator to Alternator Conversion Late Ford 8N Tractors AKT0004 | eBay Anyway, the kit looks great and I want it to work...

See video.... I am having trouble starting the Ford 8N. It has been very reliable and then stopped working.... While trying to start it, the starter made a weird noise and as it started to turn over, it blew oil out of the oil-bath air intake. It actually popped the oil reservoir off of the...

Has anybody ever produced a YouTube video showing step by step on how to mount a Fard Sickle Bar mower? A 501 or 14-92, etc.... I understand where the hardware mounts go.... But never can seem to wrestle it on there. Seems like it is weighted weird and never fits. Any suggestions, pictures...

My reliable ford 8N won't start! It works 50% of the time now. I tightened the very loose positive and replaced the negative wires on the battery. When I turn the key, make sure it is neutral and then push the button, I get a click that sounds like an electrical arch. Then, nothing. If I push...

I just finished tilling a 1 acre garden with a attachment on my skid steer. After completing, a ticking noise is coming from the arms on the skid steer. Specifically, on the right arm. It is a tick about every 10 seconds. it sounds similar to my Ford F 250 after I get done driving it. I believe...

I have 12 acres of Eastern red cedar trees that need to be removed to create a cattle pasture. My thought is to attach a tree pincher to my skid steer (which I have available to borrow) and go through the pasture, clip the trees, pile them and then burn them. I see this as somewhat of a waste...

I have a carburetor from a Ford 8N. I purchased a rebuild kit and disassembled the carburetor. After cleaning it up, I went to reassemble it and am having some issues. I have all of the old parts and the new rebuild kit. Would anybody be interested in finishing this job if I ship it to them? I...

I have a Ford 8N. I would like to plant some row crops this spring. Corn, beans and other items like potatoes. I have planted in the past and hand cultivated. However, this year I would like to plant more. So, my question becomes, what is the appropriate spacing so that I can run my tractor...

In the picture above, what are the two pipes? They aren't on my other 8N. By looking at them, there is one that leads down to the hydraulic pump. The other is in the cover..... Right where you fill the hydraulics. Am I seeing a hydraulic take-off or something like that?? I have never heard of...

Brand new to baling.... Have a John Deere 14T that seems to be working great other than the fact that when the knotters go to tie up a bale, it seems that one consistently stays hung up or stuck in the bill hook. Is this a symptom of any obvious or common problems? I cannot get this to work right.

I purchased a Ford 501 sickle mower. I was lucky enough to find a parts one as well that somebody gave me for free. So, I have been cobbling them together to make a good, working mower. I feel like I am at that point now but when I went to attach the PTO shaft, I found that it will not...

Just purchased a John Deere 14T baler! It appears to be in pretty good shape and I picked it up for $750. Does anybody have a manual that they can share? Any helpful hints on this baler? Also, in decent shape, do you think $750 is a good price, too much, or a steal?

I just purchased a new idea 402 side delivery rake. This rake is in pretty good shape from what I can tell. I paid $250 at the guy will deliver to my farm. It is missing about 14 teeth which I have found online. I can buy 25 for $50. The only problem I have is that the parts that attach the...

I just purchased A MF 3 Baler. I got it home and attached it to my Ford 8 N. When I gave it power, nothing happened in my tractor almost died. I went to turn the flywheel by hand but it will not budge. Any thoughts on what this could be? This is my first baler. The previous owner said it worked...

I have a Ford 8N. Works good but the hydraulics are soft and sometimes don't work. I took off the inspection plate and ran the lift arms with a implement attached. They lifted a bit (not as high as I would imagine they should). There was a steady stream of oil coming from the top. So, I am...

I bought this cultivator and the guy said it was 3 point. Once I got it home, I am scratching my head wondering how to hook it up. I feel stupid! ;-)

I am restoring an old 9N that is 6v. I want to convert it to 12v sooner or later. The old battery is gone as it was junk. The generator was also missing when I bought this. So, before I go an buy a 6v battery and generator and upgrade it later, I have a few questions. I would consider just doing...

I have a Ford 9N and also an 8N. The 8N is 12 volts now and I expect to upgrade the 9N to 12v from 6v soon. My question is, will this PAR-46 Spotlight LED replacement bulb work on this tractor? I know the wattage is very low and it draws only 2.3 amps. I'd suspect that is less than what the...

Can anybody help me with more info on this motor? It is on a 9N that I just bought.... The serial number is not in sequence like others (ie 9Nxxx or 8Nxxx)..... Mine has AER 2778 stamped in the block. The engine looks just like what is on my 8N so I know it isn't a converted motor or...
