Good morning fellow members, I have 60 acres in rural Northern Alabama which is utilized as a weekend getaway (our place of serenity). My water meter is about 1 mile away and the water arrives through 3/4" pvc pipe and through other people's property. The pipe is shallow in most places and as a...

Gang, what kind of mushrooms are these and are the eatable? One has what appears to be animal bites on them and they grow in certain areas of my property. Not portabelo but hey, they might be tasty.

Is a 7 foot bush hog too much for a IH 584? Thanks,

Gents, I am being offered the following items for purchase and would like to know if the prices are indeed as reasonable as he is making them out to be. 1) Auger/post hole digger- Woods 1190 with a 12" auger bit and tip for $200. 2) Woods 84 bushhog/mower 7 foot for $500. Your guidance will be...

Gents, I had a break-in at my property last week. They defeated the entrance cattlegate, easy to do and as shown in the pic, and they drove in to steal a 5x10 trailer, a couple of non-functional 4wheelers, and a bunch of other little things. But they didn't get into the workshops and the house...

Can someone please provide suggestions on a more effective sprayer? I'd like to effectively spray my fruit trees, vines....Right now I am using a hand pump sprayer but it's wearing me out.

Do any of you know what type cable this is, approx. what gauge it is, and if it can be used to connect two batteries together? It's pretty heavy gauge with rubber insulation but it's not copper judging from its color. Thanks,

I recently purchased this 1200 plus litter tank but I don't know what was kept in it. I'd like to use it as a water tank collector to water the fields so I put chlorox in it and water to help clean it. Is there any other substance you'd recommend that would be more effective? It also has this...

It's sad! After all the work I put into this new to me IH 584 by degreasing it, repairing all its leaks and painting it, and boy was I proud of all that work, Saturday after using the FEL to remove a cemented post I suddenly could not shift into reverse or low. The shifter is stuck in high but...

Good morning all, After 4 years of working around my property with my little Yanmar, btw a great little tractor with absolutely zero failures all this time, I bought this new to me IH 584 on July 1. I washed, degreased and took care of filter cleanings already and it obviously needs a good...

I have plenty of rabbit, deer, and turkey about but this does not seem to be any of those. Could it be wild hogs moving in?

Good morning all, I am getting ready to put up a log cabin (constructed by square oak logs) and was wondering if there's a "worth while" forum out there I can become a member of that discusses construction ideas. What I'm buying is a kit with plans, and directions, and it'll be a 2 story 24x24...

Can you identify this snake for me please? I hope it turns out to be poisonous but in retrospect it doesn't appear to be.

....plant that produces such a fruit (shown next to the corn stock)?? It's a plant I found growing wild in my corn field so, can you please help identify it?

.....'cause here's what I landed, a practically new 4ft disk for $250. Disked a couple of fields with it already and my YM2K pulled it just fine. Soil looks great!!:D :D

This morning I almost went down a 75 ft ravine. My drive is sloped on either side and while going up the hill, in the rain and close to the drop-of so I don't chew up the drive, I looked back momentarily and it leaned to the right side. I stopped the tractor immediately, jumped off and...

This little tractor of mine is proving invaluable. I was able to move trunks with it, carry bridge wood with it, and joy ride it, as it is evident by my wife's smile, over this past weekend :) But it developed a noisy starter so I figured I'd remove it and have it rebuilt, or buy a new...

Guys, hat's this lever used for?

Even I get lucky now and then I guess. This is a bushhog I landed on Thursday, from sheer luck, on the side of the road, for $175. Very heavy duty 4 footer that works like a charm. It was the first time I ever used a bushhog but there's not much to it as ong as one takes his time. Takes even...

Mr. Adrian obviously missed my company last Saturay while I was plowing the field. So, when I stopped to go get a refreshment he decided he was going with me on the next round come heck or high water...only problem was I was finished :) My new plow in actions The field was planted with...

....I can't find an old fashion light bulb socket/rubber boot/harness (as shown below) in local auto stores. Is there a place I can order from? I'd like to repair my YM2K's headlights.

Gentlemen, I have a project I'd like to tackle next. My property has a necessary to cross small bridge in order to get to the barn and trailer. It was build, as the pictures indicate, rather well with what appears to be solid foundation of steel beams and railroad ties but the wood planks over...

Forumites, I just purchased a circa 1957 US army trailer for $150; I believe it's a 3/4 ton cargo tilt trailer and has 2 hand brakes (non-functional…yet). It's not the prettiest thing to look at but it's solid as a rock. It weighs 1340 lbs and after I get it to the property it should allow me to...

Can anyone provide me with the measurements/in between distances of the pre-drilled holes of a YM2000’s steel bumper?

Guys, I’m thinking of building a steel carrying platform of sort, and bolt it onto the front of my YM2000. It will allow me to carry things around (rocks, sacks of cement, lumber…), and will add the needed weight to the front. Any construction ideas you care to share will be appreciated.

Gents, what's the fastest, easiest to grow, and hardiest grass one can plant on a long drive? I figure if gravel will be difficult to work in in my particular case, maybe grass can help prevent erosion from gully washers. Of course I have a lot of sand mixed into the soil but there’s gotta be...

Gents, is there supposed to be a gasket in the fuel cap? If so my YM 2000's doesn't have it and as a result I am getting overspill. But if there's no gasket there to begin with what else could be the cause for the constant fuel spill? I am also in need of a couple of the headlight harness...

After un-clogging the vent tube the hydraulic fluid level is not what it used to be. When the tube was clogged the level showed to be at the proper level, while now it barely registers on the dip stick. How does one go about properly measuring the level? Does the fluid need to be hot? Is it...

Well guys, I replaced the oil and filter on my YM2000, and repaired wiring issues/added a 12volt socket for plugging in lights and such, including the installation of a new fuel filter housing/filter, which was totally absent and I hope didn't do any permanent damage. Finally I replaced the...

Quick question guys, how many quarts of oil does it take to do an oil/filter change on a YM2000? Also, how many gallons of coolant will be required if I were to flash the radiator? I am getting ready to do some maintenance work to morrow and would like to make sure.....

Gents, I have a YM2000/pre-1975 engine, and am replacing the old non-functional temperature gauge with one that works. Since I am new to tractors and have no manual I'd like to know what the normal operating range is on this particular model. For reference, what is the overheat temperature in...

Good morning gentlemen, My name is George and I am a first time (read uninformed) user of tractors so please be kind :) Last Saturday I purchase a Yanman YM2000 for keeping up with my property chores. The tractor starts and runs fine but it didn't come with a manual, or a wiring diagram, and...
