I am a novice welder. I would like to weld another 3/8" chain hook onto the front end loader of my Kubota L3710. The previous owner added a piece of angle steel onto the top edge of the bucket to serve as a base for chain hooks, and there are two hooks solidly welded onto it now. That angle...

I just picked up a Taylor Way Pittsburgh 2 x 14 plow. Most of the ID tag is torn away, so I don't know the specific model. The price was right: free (more on that later). It has shear bolts that need to be replaced. Also, it comes with only one coulter and I'd like to get another one...

I recently bought a Woods RM59 finish mower. It has four wheels, and the two front wheels are mounted on arms that point outwards toward the sides of the mower. In that orientation, the front wheels of the mower bump up against the rear tires of the tractor. In fact, there is not enough...

I'm in the market for a tractor with a loader. Near me is a MF 135 with the Perkins 3 cylinder gas engine and what looks like a 200 series MF loader. I know the Perkins diesel engines are legendary for their reliability. Do Perkins gas engines have a similar reputation, or are there known...

I have a King Kutter 6 foot rotary cutter. A portion of the deck has come detached from the frame. I am a novice welder. I have a Powr Kraft 230/140 AC/DC stick welder. I was planning on welding angle steel from an old bed frame onto the deck to span the gap between the deck and the frame...

I just bought a Woods RM59-3 finish mower that is missing the front half of the PTO shaft (the tractor end). Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? If someone has an RM59, could you please measure the overall length of the PTO shaft, from the tip of the PTO coupling to the rear of...

I have an early 1960s Gravely LI. I need to rebuild the carburetor. I thought it had a Zenith aluminum carb, but instead it has a Bendix carb. Will the readily available Zenith carb kit fit the Bendix carb? If not, where can I get a Bendix carb kit? Thanks.

My MH 50 (identical to a MF) has the Continental Z134 engine that has always started and run like a Swiss watch. Recently, it started right up, ran for about 10 secs, and then stopped running and would not restart. I disconnected the gas and air lines, both of which have good flow. It turns...

A friend of mine has a Ford 9n, and I am thinking of approaching him about buying it. He has no use for it. When last parked at least 5 years ago, it had no electricity going to the starter. Since then, it has sat out in the rain and snow in upstate New York. I do not know if the engine is...

I have a Massey Harris 50 with nearly new turf tires, wheel weights, and loaded rears. I use it mainly to bush hog 13 acres of mostly flat land that had been hay and corn fields many years ago. When I got the property, the fields hadn't been cut in 5 years, and the root growth from the weeds...

I need a machine to mow 1.25-1.5 acres of grass, mostly flat, with some trees/garage/house to negotiate around. Which would you choose if you had these two options?: 1. Kubota L175 for about $2000. Has a Woods 60" belly mower. About 1200 hours. Has been left out in the rain for a long...

I need a machine to mow about 1.5 acres of lawn. The land is flat with some trees to negotiate around. Has anyone used their Model 35 with a 6 foot finish mower as their primary lawn mowing machine? (I would put turf tires on it.) Does the lack of power steering make it ponderous enough to...

I recently bought a Massey Harris 50 with turf tires that had been used to mow grass at a church summer camp. It has 3800 hours on the tach. The rear wheels have weights. There is a bolt broken off in one of the front chassis mounting blocks, so I assume it had a front end loader on it at...

I recently fulfilled a life-long goal of owning a piece of property to allow breathing room and hobby farming. My first tractor purchase was a 1956 Massey Harris 50 and a 6 foot rotary cutter to tame 14 acres of overgrown fields, some of which had not been cut for for about 7 years. The fields...
