Can't recall if i posted this here before. I have a new video of the pounder in action. First video on here and is a walk though of my design. I did ditch the trailer jack and I replaced it with a hydraulic spud that is about 18" long. Home made fence post driver - YouTube This video was...

I have a 3020 propane with 16.9x38 tires. I found a cab that was removed from a 4020. Will it fit my 3020?

Made this to attach to my boom pole for picking up logs, brush, and other junk. This speeds up the process since I don稚 have to get off the tractor and hookup via chain to what I want to haul off. My material cost was about $400. Materials listing: 1 36" x 20" x 3/8" air or propane tank...

I needed a couple extra inches on my hitch to accommodate my drag style brush hog. Instead of cutting down the pto shaft I decided to lengthen the draw bar. On the longest position, it was just inches too short. I came up with welding a receiver tube to the draw bar. This now accepts all my...

I purchased a 10' brush hog. Unknown maker or age. Likely old since it is made with thick steel and channel iron. I have the old style slip clutch that is mounted to the brush hog. I removed the set screw from the side of the nut and I cannot get the nut off to replace the disks. I have...

I would like to add some tunes to the old tractor. Something to help pass the countless hours I will be brush hogging. The only thing I really see is the fender mounted radio at Northern Tool for $160. Are there other options? I looked at boat systems but they are not packaged in a nifty box...

I have the 3020 with the double bevel rims. Currently I have it set to the inside bevel and I can simply move the cast center to the outside bevel and narrow the rear wheels by a total of 8". My question is adjusting the cast centers. From what I gathered, I loosen the 6 bolts (3 inside and 3...

Not sure how long it will hold up. The originals lasted a good long time however they have been brazed back together many times in the past. I used the standard length 4' 3/8 rubber hoses that can be picked up off the shelf for $10. The original hard lines are 1/2 OD and a 3/8 rubber is 3/8...

As I was working on replacing the steering valve, I decided that it was time for new wiring. 51 years and there were numerous cracks in the insulation and patch jobs that have happened over time. It looked like a fire waiting to happen. There were also numerous wires that I have no idea what...

I am curious about seat replacements that are out there. I see some OEM style replacement seats but wanted to know more about other options that fit. Minor modifications would be okay. OEM looks are less important than comfort. I am also curious on your opinions on the canopy(s) that are...

From what I have researched the steering valve is shot and needs rebuilt. It leaks from the steering wheel. Also the steering takes a minute to start working after sitting. If I had to guess, it acts like the hydraulics have bled down and you have to build up pressure for the steering to work...

I built this a few months ago. I have modified it from the one in the video by adding 2 additional arms so I can unroll all 6 wires on my fence at once. Each roller is adjustable to accommodate all the standard rolls of wire. This worked great as I was able to unroll all the wires at once and...

I scored a telescoping aluminum antenna mast on craigslist. This extends to 40 and is the key piece to my work light. Instead of building a trailer mounted light I decided to go with a 3 point tractor hookup to keep the cost down. This limits the use of this light and but will still function...

Here is a simple boom pole for a tractor. Most boom poles are all rigid mounted and do not have high lifting capabilities. This one works like a basic lever and fulcrum much like a engine hoist. This is different than the standard boom poles for tractors. The standard boom poles are rigid...

I recently purchased a 64 3020 propane. I have only put about 30 hours on it but I am planning on doing a complete fluid change this weekend so I have a good baseline of when everything was changed and to get a better understanding of where everything is. I busted a remote hydraulic line under...

Which one to buy? There are several different versions available at prices from $30-100+. There are newer versions and the original dealer shop manuals. Not sure if there is much difference (like a haynes vs chiltons manual) Basically looking for a fairly detailed repair manual for early...

I just picked up a 3020 LP (1964). This is the identical tractor that my grandpa uses today and what I learned to use nearly 30 years ago. I am in need to new rubber all the way around. I knew it was going to be $$$$ to get new tires. Currently I have 16.9-34 rears. I see where people...

Ok. I bought a ancient MF 50B Industrial backhoe off of ebay sight unseen. I did not pay much for it because I am sure that I can fix just about anything. Not 100% certain on the model # but it is a late 50's model. here is what I know about it. 3 cyc Perkins diesel engine. hydrostatic...
