I got a JD 513 brush cutter years ago that has rusted out, been patched, and rusted out again. I was not wanting to spend the time making a new deck so I picked up a Titan 60" cutter. The JD has a gearbox oil filled. The Titan box is grease filled. The Titan box is louder than the JD box. Is...

I was riding my bicycle about and sometimes I make a point to ride by the Kubota dealer to look at attachments. I was studying the design of the backhoe on a BX25D. Some fellow drives up and parks a relatively new (less than 10 year old) Dodge pickup. I mentioned something about the price of the...

My 2004 Dodge 2500 Cummins generally seems to get 18-20 mpg. I don't drive but 5-6,000 miles a year. Trips to the feed store, getting hay in the bed or on a 16" trailer, or going to down to bank or eat. Even on a test economy trip of 426 miles, mostly highway and highway speed 60 mph on flat...

My uncle is semi-retired and is a bit hunched over. On the other hand he is in his late seventies so that is to be expected. The family farm is around Ossian, Indiana which is the eastern edge. Corn and beans country. My cousin and my uncle were working on getting the combine ready. Beans and...

I left 100% biodiesel in my tank one winter. Tractor smelled great when running. 2 years later the tank is a mess. I need to remove my roll over protection to get the tank out so I will limp about cleaning the tank outlet tube once in a while. Tractor seems to run ok with 2 or more gallons left...

I had yet another flat today even with Slime which has helped a bit. No, I am not considering foam filled. I see tires that weigh 12 pounds and others that weigh 14 pounds in that size. Some say 4 ply. Web surfing does not seem to provide much about tire specs. It would be great if there were...

I see a piece of black trash about 75 feet away along the ditch on the other side of the driveway. One of the young dogs runs...

Me more than 40 years ago at the Indiana farm - TractorByNet.com Photo GalleryI don't know how to link a picture. One of my brothers forwarded this picture of me driving my Uncle Ralph's shiny JD. I suspect they have much bigger tractors these days.

I was setting up my JD 513 mower to do quick attach and I could not get my pto shaft to stretch out the extra 4 inches. I guess I have not been doing my annual take apart and lube that the manual suggests. Tractor lives outside. Come along attached to the bucket, rope on shaft and it pulled out...

So this has annoyed me the last 13 or so years. Our short 1/2-3/4 mile gravel road always seems to have folks barrelling along kicking up dust. I live a 1/4 from the main highway so I am not in a huge rush. Idle in second allows the turbo to cool down in the vehicles. Anyhow some folks like to...

I broke my left headlight. I do not know where so I cannot find the plastic to glue it back together. JD catalog shows the whole light bar at $155. All I need is the left headlight. Has anyone found a way to trick the JD catalog? The counter guy mentioned that he has seen individual parts, then...
