I store, amongst other items and tools, my Tractor in a shipping container. Where it is is really remote and not near my house. What’s a good lock to install? I know nothing is full proof but at least I can make it difficult to get in. Haven’t had a problem as of yet and don’t want one. Thanks

I do not have a 204 ..... I have a 202. But this thread is for 204 owners only. Frank

Well....... I have been using my MF202 for a few days. As mentioned in a previous thread, the power steering does not work. Trying to drive it with no power steering is too tough so I need to address the issue. Anyone ever remove their pump ? Any hints to as what to expect? I either repair the...

Well I just cleaned the dirty gas tank. Installed new sediment bowl assembly with new gas line. Mounted the tank. Installed the battery. And she fired up better than my 2 year old Jeep. But as I mentioned in another thread, when I purchased her, the battery was positive grounded So I...

So ... I need to purchase all the manuals for my 1963 Massey 202. Has the 200 loader. I need Shop and Parts manuals. I see I&T manuals for sale everywhere. Is this the way to go or are there better manuals out there... Frank

I just purchased a 1963 Massey Ferguson 202 with a 200 loader. I paid $1600.00 delivered. It is being delivered today. I looked up the serial number,....... JGF 308806, ....... and it seemed to be a 1963. Gas engine. Runs great and starts right up. On the back there used to be a backhoe. The...

I recently cold my Case 580CK Loader / Backhoe because I needed a 3pth rather than a backhoe. Anyway, I found a Case 480B with a loader, 3pth and to my surprise ..... it has a factory center grader blade which turns, tilts, raises ... all the things a small Huber grader does. It is exactly what...

My 1967 Case 580 CK with a Diesel engine is low on antifreeze. I don稚 have a clue on what to use to top it off and the local auto parts stores know less than I do. They carry all the brands out there.... lots of them 50/50 premixed. Does anyone recommend a certain brand? Does it need special...

I am looking at these 2 machines. A 1967 Case 580CK and a 1977 Ford 3600. Both machines have a front loader and a rear 3 point hitch. And are the same price. They are in similar condition. Which way should I go? Frank

I need to unload several concrete blocks. They are 2'x2'x6' poured concrete and weigh about 3750 pounds each. There is a lift ring in the center to attach a chain to. Will either the loader or the backhoe lift these off a trailer? My machine runs as it should with no leaks. I'd back the trailer...

I want to tow a trailer but don't want to drive backward nor do I want to push the trailer. I drilled a hole for a trailer ball to move a trailer around. This is OK for repositioning the trailer . But for long distance it's awkward. My land is 1 mile long end to end. I'd like to be able to just...

My Case loader / backhoe runs great but the boom slowly drops. Is it called boom leak down? Anyway, how do I repair it or diagnose it? I use the travel chains all the time now.

I have a 1967 Case 580CK Backhoe / Loader. Most of the time when operating the loader or just moving around... the backhoe creeps down and I constantly need to raise the boom arm so the bucket doesn't hit the ground. Can be really aggrivating. I've read that this machine had traveling chains on...

My trusty companion wants to be with me all the time. He's my dog, an Australian Shepard. Since I like to travel on my motorcycle I thought I'd make a trailer to pull behind my Yamaha Roadliner. Have any of you done this? I was thinking of one of the small Harbor Freight trailers, under $200.00...

Has anyone used any of the hydraulic stop leaks? Such as Lucas Hydraulic Oil Booster & Stop Leak or White Shepherd Hydraulic Stop Leak. I know there are others out there. I have a few leaky cylinders on my old 1963 Ford 4000 tractor with ford 720 loader and Ford 723 backhoe. Leaky enough to...

On my new to me 1963 Ford 4000 Industrial with a Ford 720 loader and Ford 723 Backhoe 19-300 I have several questions........ #1. There are 2 steel loops welded onto the sides ( 1 left and 1 right ) of the backhoe main boom and 1 near the top of the boom facing the operators seat. Do these...

I have a 1963 Ford 4000 Industrial Tractor with a Ford 720 loader and a Ford 723 backhoe. How do I check the hydraulic fluid on the loader. I know they share a common tank. On the cross bar in front of the drivers seat and across the top of the hood there is a fill / vent cap on a large pipe. If...

I going to look at a 1962 Ford 4000 Industrial Tractor, gas engine, shuttle shift, bucket loader on front and frame mounted backhoe on the rear. The asking price is $2800.00 and really firm. I was told by the owner everything works good. No leaks, gas engine runns great without smoking. Starts...

This is my new project

I have a Rhino Shelter with a 6' tall door. My dozer is 8'9" tall. What is a good economical way to increase the height of the shelter so I can drive my dozer into it........I don't want to dig down and make a pit because of the winter freezing the seeping in water which would freeze the...

My 1984 John Deere 455D Turbo Track Loader runs like new. It has around 7400 hours on it. I put the key in the ignition and just touch the start button and it starts right up. When it starts up it lets out a decent size puff of white smoke, then no more smoke thru idle. If I go from idle quickly...

On my 1984 John Deere 455D bulldozer with 4 in 1 bucket, I had a leaky hose in the right hand bucket cylinder to control valve line. This is the 3/4" hose that makes the bucket curl up and down. When I disconnected the old hose about 2 gallons of fluid came out from the control valve side of the...

When I disconnect the 2 hydraulic lines from the bucket cylinder to the control valve on my dozer, will the fluid drain from the tank or just what is in the lines? Or should I just drain out all the fluid then remove the lines? Thanks, Frank

On My John Deere 455D Bulldozer on the right side I have to replace the 2 hydraulic lines that go from the control valve to the bucket cylinder. The metal lines behind the cover got pinched and now leak. Rather large lines that connect the flarenuts are approx. 1 1/16" and 1 3/16". Would you...

Most backhoe, bulldozer and tractors buckets have weld lines on them. Some are nice and evenly spaced, some are just eratic patterns. Being a welder myself, I know that these weld lines take some time to do. Just what do they do that for? Thanks, Frank

I was at a local dealer yesterday to see the New Holland tractors and on the lot they had a 1993 Ford 3930 tractor, 4 wheel drive with syncro shift and a 195 loader. The tractor was purchased new, brought home, used lightly for 74 hours and then the owner past away. All these years it sat in a...

I want to purchase a quonset but the concrete support wall and slab, for financial reasons are out of the budget right now. Can I build it on gravel or loose rock or what? The size is 25 wide x 24 long with 14'3" height. Thanks, Frank

I was in the purchasing mood to buy a Kubota L2800. About 2 years ago , I decided that was the Kubota for me. Now, I'm ready to buy and I find that it isn't made anymore. What replaced it? And what does the replacement sell for......DT or HST.......I definitly want an " L " model

OK, Now that I have decided that a new L2800 is the tractor I can't live without, I need help in deciding wether to get the DT or the HST. Can I have a few opinions please.

I was at the Fryeburg, Maine Fair yesterday and decided that a Kubota L2800DT was the tractor I needed. I already have a 6' box blade and a 6' landscape rake. Can I use them with no regret on the future new L2800DT ?

Just curious as to what I should use for ballast in my 3 point hitch ballast box? I don't want to use permanent cement.

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab truck with an 8' bed with a Leer cap. My problem is that it's too heavy for another person and myself to put on and take off. How does everyone do it? Planks and sawhorses? To the top edge of the truck bed is 57" which is pretty high to lift to. It seems...

Somewhere in this web site, I saw that someone had a Komatsu Bulldozer that had a stock hitch ( Pin ) on there Komatsu D 20 or 21 dozer. They removed it and, in it's place, made a 2" receiver hitch to accept a regular trailer hitch. But, I can't find it. Does anyone know where I can See it on...
