Story not for the faint of stomach warning, walked the wife out to leave for work and did a quick scan of drive. What's that at the end of the drive, squirrel roadkill got to check it out so I go and give it a nudge to make sure it's passed. Tell my wife wait don't leave let me get the gloves to...

I went out to do some tilling and discovered that since last using the tractor the RPM gauge /hour meter aren't working at all. Initial check of cable and wiring seems ok but I was pressed for time and haven't gotten back to diagnosing. Any suggestions would be helpful as to what and where to...

I am tired of the big box store trimmers over the last twenty years I think I've bought 8. Two years maybe three is about the max time I remember having the same trimmer. Are the stiils, husquavaras that are sold by the tractor dealers really better? I've spent a bit of time reading reviews for...

My plow for my cub (farmall) is no good. I want to convert my 10" craftsman sleeve hitch plow to one point fast hitch. How would you attach plow to one point? I'm looking for the angle to know where to drill mounting holes? Pitch angles can be controlled with the fast hitch. Sleeve hitch has...

So my wife was so ecstatic about my most recent tractor addition that she asked if I may sell my Farmall Cub. I thought yeah I might as well sell, do I really need two tractors. She tells a girlfriend who tells her husband who in her words has been whining about needing a tractor for a garden...

1988 MF 253 1900+ hours. I'm just looking for a range of average pricing for this model. I thought dealer asking 10000 was to high but I know little to nothing about tractors.
