So long story short I pulled a bone head move and I parked my MX10 on a block 3 years ago and it put uneven pressure on the stumped jumper over the winter and caused the seal to fail. I decided to replace all the bearings on the bottom spindle when I replaced the seal. Anyways the problem is...

So I just had a pair of track frames and rock guards from a 550 John Deere dozer sand blasted and I'm looking for some suggestions for prep and paint. I have had good luck with the loctite brand rust converter but I really don't think I'm going to need it, although i'm picking the parts up...

Gents, I'm looking for some recommendations on machetes. I have been cutting trails into areas through briars and trees up to 2" or so in diameter. So far I have been unimpressed /destroyed two machetes. The gerber unit has a very comfortable handle but I have taken out two nickel size chunks...

Has any body ever heard of this stuff or tried it out? Just saw a video pop up on my FB feed and thought it looked interesting. It is supposed to change the bonding characteristics of the fluids and the metal in all environments. Engine, trans, hubs, power steering. I'm pretty skeptical but...

So I have been thinking. I have a 9' loader mounted plow that I have been less than happy with. I have it on a quick attach plate that allows the plow to float up and down and lifts wit a chain that can have thr length adjusted by using the curl cylinders to change the angle of the QA plate. I...

So there is a local organization that held plow days by me this year. Past to Present Machinery Association actually. I was really intrigued with the smaller tractors that guys were pulling single bottom plows with. Mostly garden tractors and the like. I would hesitate to call them scut's...

SO I finally wised up and decided to use the cabbed tractor to plow snow with. :thumbsup: I acquired a 9' meyer snow plow and fabbed up a quick attach plate to mount it. I also ran hydraulic lines from the rear scv to the front to power the angle cylinders. This is where I'm having problems...

SO I don't start new threads very often, but since I completed another project, I'll post up some pictures. Short version. I made a quick attached loader plow! With pics! For the back story: I have two tractors that I use for snow removal. I mostly rely on the Kubota L3400 for the...

I am running a NH 499 center pivot haybine and I am looking for some ideas on how to reduce the slop in the factory drawbar. The center pivot machine doesn't stay in the same position behind the tractor and it has me worried that I'm going to snap the drawbar or impart a lot of wear onto it...

When swinging my pivot tongue new holland 499 haybine there is a lot of slop in the drawbar of the tractors that I use as well as the hitch pin. Some of this slop is necessary to get some articulation in the hitch connection. Looking for a way to make my turns faster with less stress on the...

TED!, Any progress on the video to see this box blade at work? :D

Any votes for a sticky that has some HP/Ft or HP/Inch numbers? Seems like it would be a pretty useful attachment thread? I have often heard 1HP/Inch of moldboard for plows? (Pto or drawbar hp of course) Just saw a field cultivator thread that suggested 3.5hp/ft drawbar. Any other helpful...

So my local John deere dealer is shutting the doors next week. Glad I bought from a local shop that will be able to sell parts if I need them. [/sarcasm] I really hate to see tractor dealerships closing down, granted this one was part of a larger chain.

Fellas, I have been trying to do some research about insulating an 80'x100'x16' pole barn that houses 16 horses inside. It gets pretty cold in PA in the winter and with all of the respiration going on inside, the ceiling rains a lot. I have talked to a spray foam contractor and I have even...

Gents, Does anyone know which models used the same rear end housing/axle as the 3205? It is an HST version if that helps. I'm looking because, my dad shredded his somehow and was looking for a replacement part.

I'm looking at buying this local manure spreader. Its a New Holland S676. Can you guys tell me anything about it? I think its approximately 200 bushels? I know to check the sides, the floor, the thickness of the apron chains, condition of the flights, tire condition, beater condition, frame for...

SO I have been browsing tire chains for my rear tires (16.9-24 R1 ) since I went for a fun ride last year on a steep hill when my rear end passed my front end on a hill even though the bucket was dug in. Anyways, I have v-bar duo's from tirechains.com on the front and I did an at home...

Ok so I am having a little issue getting the blade holder off of my MX 10 to replace the shaft seal that failed sometime over wintertime. Anyone have any tips/tricks to getting the holder off of a splined shaft? I have tried banging it gently with a 4lb sledge from above, a half cocked jaw...

Any thoughts on the pro's and con's of a center pivot hydraulic motor driven 12' haybine vs a side pull pto shaft driven 12' haybine? I have only ever used a New Holland side pull 9' shaft driven machine. It was very trouble free and did a very nice job for us. I know a discbine would be...

So im pretty familiar with the New Holland haybines of the 9 or 10 foot variety and have spent many hours in the seat of a international 884 mowing with them; but I found a good deal on a case 8350 12' haybine and I was wondering what kind of pto hp is required to run it? Is 5hp per foot a...

SO I think I'm going to tackle a pretty big excavating project with one of my in-laws pieces of equipment( Yes i know bad idea but its free as long as i fuel and grease it) SO anyways, I have a shale bank about 6-8 feet in heigh that I want to dig back 25 feet or so but the teeth on the...

So I have a question that I'm not sure where it fits into but this was my best guess. Backstory: Anyways, I have a shallow layer of topsoil then clay then increasingly harder shale the deeper you go. I have a building on a level pad that was cut into the hillside. I can put water lines and a...

So I have been using my deere to run a post hole auger. It's not quite as simple as it sounds. I have to use both spools to get the auger to run. The #1 spool has to be put in float and connect a hose to it; the other "pressure" hose connects to the #2 spool and controls the rotation of the...

So I am in the market for some 245/70R19.5 truck tires. I'm down to a couple tires after I excluded the Chinese and recapped options. Anybody have any opinions on these tires? Any suggestions for others? I'm deciding between a set of Michelin XDS2's for around $470 a tire; Cooper...

So I have some horses that I feed round bales too. My FIL built a single bale feeder for them and the dam thing drives me nuts. It only holds one round bale at a time and I have to get out of the tractor several times to put one bale out. (open the pasture, drive in, close the gate, drive...

I have read/heard in a couple different places about the international 4700 and 4900 trucks coming from the factory with a standard wheelbase and the purchaser just slides the rear end to where he wants and cuts off the over hanging frame rails? Is there any truth to this? Also, is there...

So I bought a new toy for moving some material around my property. I found a used (but new to me) hydraulic dump wagon, its approximately 10' long by about 4 feet wide and almost 4' deep. So my question to my fellow TBN'ers is the rear gate only has a grain chute, there are some holes and a...

Gods of TBN, I have been wondering if it is even possible to put duals on my '11 5083E? I have the wheels set at the widest stance right now, but even with a 2400 lb counter weight, I have managed to figure out how to pick up the rear end with my 563 loader:thumbsup:. Anyways, what brought...

I came into a unique situation where I was able to buy a Mega roll of perforated black pvc pipe. Anyways, its not a new nice tight roll of pipe. There are a couple loose ends but regardless its prolly 2k-3K feet of pipe. Dimensionally, we are talking about 7-8' in diameter and roughly 9'...

Well I had a hairy situation with my tractor a couple weeks ago. I borrowd a post pounder and auger that mounted to my quikattach and the loader picked it up fine (front tires were bulging pretty badly) and ended up with the rear tires (that are ballasted with 800+lbs of fluid each) about 2...

Has anybody ever used the sikkens product before? I bought a gallon of it at $56 a gallon :shocked: I haven't even opened it yet. (still have the receipt!) I was considering the 1 part oil used diesel oil to 2 or 3 parts diesel fuel but Im wondering how slick it would be in the rain? (not...

So I have a Question for the gods of TBN. I have recently acquired some preperty and Im looking for a good sized tractor for powering a 10' brushhog mower. I have ran MF, IH and Deere in the larger tractors and have been happy with all of them. I've ran the Kubota in the smaller compact...

So anyways, I have a supercharger off of a car. Its a roots style blower. So, I was wondering if I could fab up a manifold and make it into an air compressor? It is a gen 3 eaton blower off of a 2000 grand prix gtp. Anyone else try something similiar to this idea? What kind of flow and...
