I am replacing the seat on my Ford 1920 tractor and need to remove the hinge pin that lets the seat flip forward. I can not get it out. I cut the pin in two places (far left and right) to get the seat mounting plate out of the way - the part of the pin in the center that is still attached to the...

I am thinking of getting a SSQA receiver mount (2”) for my 40HP LS 4WD tractor to move trailers around the property. All trailers will be moved empty. The two larger trailers are a 16’ stock trailer and a 14’ 14k dump trailer. My FEL is already SSQA capable - I have several attachments already...

I purchased the Delco, 14’ x 83”, 14K. Before I haul my first load I have a couple hitch / leveling questions. My normal trailer towing has been a small 10” light duty trailer or a 16” stock trailer with a couple cows/steers in it - way less than what this dump can tote. Should the front of...

I started my dump trailer research in 2020 and I posted here in October 2021 and got a LOT of great information, but then prices started to go up and I put off the purchase. Prices have finally dropped and I bought the dump trailer last week. I purchased the Delco, 14’ x 83”, 14K. I bought this...

Dump Trailer – Talk me out of it, or not… I think need a bigger trailer. I have 2 trailers, a 16’ stock trailer and a 10’ x 5’ wide light duty trailer single axle. What I do with what I currently have: Buy mulch in bulk, usually takes at 2 to 3 trips using the trailer / truck Buy 16’ cattle...

I have used a Bush Hog PHD 2101 with a 12" auger for the past 15 years for setting wooden fence corner post and H braces. It has done well if I keep the cutting edges sharp / replaced as well as the cutting tip. I have switched from 8"+ wooden post to 3-1/2 metal post, so I bought a 9" auger...

The engine service light came on at the end of a regen last Sunday, the "Error diagnosis code display" on the dash reads "AB09". The manual states that it is: ECU(Barometric pressure sensor) and that "Normal sensor signal level over 0.25V. I could not find out any info using Google. My local...

I have a 20 x 32 shop in my pole barn and I need a movable work / welding table. It will do all my farm / mechanical projects: a place to rebuild a carburetor, a place to stack the clutch parts for my tractor, a place to weld up a dolly for my grapple, a place to have a beverage... I have a read...

Grapple is on the way. Below is what I think I need to do. If what I say does not sound right, please let me know. This is the first time I have tinkered with hydraulic hoses except to have direct replacements made. Opinions are always welcome! If it matters, the grapple is the EA, 60" double...

My LS XR4040 has the telescoping style of 3 point stabilizers. They do not use what I call a normal lynch pin. In the pic below the pin on the right are the ones that came with the LS, notice that it is now sprung. The local dealer has them for about $11 each. Our local farm stores, MFA and...

After reading a bunch of threads on bucket hooks and clevis mount - I am almost ready to weld. The bucket is on an LS XR4040 - what do you think of the placement? I have each chain hook (5/16) directly in line with the loader arm and the clevis mount in the center. I only plan on using the...

My LS XR4040 has two levers for the rear remotes right below the FEL joystick, one is green and the other is blue. If I push the green one forward (or pull back), when I release it snaps back to the center position. The blue one stays where I put it. If I want the blue lever in the center...

After drooling over the grapple threads for a while, it is time to buy. I will tell you what projects I have to do and what I think I need. Please tell me how wrong I am ☺ I have recently purchased a new LS XR4040 with a LL4102 FEL, its lift capacity is 2500lbs - but I am sure real world...

Some jobs never end! Split my tractor and replaced clutch. Got it back together, cranked it and the starter (that was working perfectly before tractor split) gear seems to get hung in the flywheel gear. There were no shims when I took the starter off. I put a washer over each starter stud and...

I am getting ready to put my tractor back together this weekend. Pilot bearing has been replaced, it is a ball bearing type, not brass. Do I grease the tip of the shaft where it inserts into the pilot bearing? What about the splines there the shaft pass thru the disc?

I have a 1994 Ford 1920 FWD SSS, which suddenly stopped going into gear. By suddenly I mean it worked one evening but not the next. It has 2200 hours. I did a forum search and did not find anything. The stuck clutch problem did not seem to apply although I may be wrong about that! I cannot...

Long time reader and lurker, first time poster. I have a leaky Bush Hog Rotary Cutter - Squealer Series SQ720 - I do not have the clutch version. I have the two oil seals I need, but I am not sure how to remove the PTO shaft, have never done this before. There is a pin that sticks out 1/2" on...
