Fired up the NAA for the first time in months. Put the battery on the charger last night once reinstalled, she ran with just a few cranks. Loader cycles with no hesitation...3 point though not a hint of wanting to raise....gripe over, back to work fool.

I'm about to start a remodel on our master bathroom. It is on the ground floor with a second story above. The current drain plumbing is vented with 4 inch galvanized pipe that runs out of the crawl space up through the bathroom area to the roof. Unfortunately it is within the envelope of the...

Several people around town have been flying the flag off the back of there truck. It is often accompanied by one or several additional flags, which might be a different conversation. Generally it is in tatters, frayed at the edges, and catches on the tailgate when stopped. It doesn't seem very...

My NAA has developed a fairly significant fuel leak. I have the tank out and it looks as if the leak derives from under the bracket near the front of the tank....which is welded to the tank. I'm not sure of the correct approach on this. Removing the bracket will be a challenge i think and...

Saw this on a pressure washer in a big box store...

I was disassembling a drywall lift to fix a broken cable attacment. In its normal operating position gravity keeps a pair of folding arms open. It was upside down for repair and got me. There was some new creative foul language emanating from my garage that day.

My 13 year old Lennox took a dump several weeks ago. Between a known fried control board and indications that the heat exchanger has failed i'm looking at at least $1200 to fix the old one. I got a quote for about 4k after rebates to replace it with a Lennox. I started looking online and found...

So i have a 1989 int'l with a Dt466 motor. It always fired right up no problems. Several weeks ago it fired right up. I went inside to get wallet etc came out and it had died. Now she only cranks over fast with no indication of starting. No smoke out the exhaust. I have confirmed that the fuel...

I'm trying to bring this mower back to life. It has been heavily neglected. The output shaft on the gearbox has about a quarter inch of wobble the bearings are clearly shot so i'm trying to get it disassembled. I was expecting a large nut on the end of the shaft but instead found this. The...

I picked up this little axle at a garage sale. I'm planning on making a narrow garden dump trailer contraption. The axle is about 31 inches wheel center to center. I started to look at diassembling it to check/service the bearings...but it seems that it doesn't come apart as expected. The...

I'm looking for some actual data on mpg for a commuter vehicle. The back story: my wife commutes 70 miles round trip. She currently drives a 91 Honda CRX. We have logged nearly every gallon of fuel that has gone into this car and it gets a solid 40 MPG. But this car is at about 270K on the...

So I decided that my house, originally built in the 1930's, needs a seismic retrofit. Basically the premise it that keeping the house on the foundation is the best way to have the structure survive a slip fault earthquake. Before 1974 there were no requirements to bolt the sill plate to the...

I found this in the dirt while clearing an area along my creek. Anyone have insight as to what it might have been in it's previous life?

I really need to have the ps cylinders rebuilt on my naa. I'm having a hard time working out the right tool to accomplish this. The ball joint "pickle fork" isn't gonna cut it. Any thoughts/suggestions? Also anyone hqve a good source or work around for these cylinders should they prove unfixable?

So I have been watching several threads of wood splitter and processors. Some day I hope to build my own but in the mean time I have been wondering why I haven't seen an application of using ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, between the beam and the slider. I have seen it on boat...

I'm going to look at a 1987 ford medium duty dump truck with a cat 3208 motor in it. I've read online that the water pumps were a weak point but is there anything else i should be concerned with and look for? This will also be my first experience with air brakes so any suggestions on...

I hope the next poster will be Fifelaker with the results and summary before everyone starts griping about how it should have been different. Thanks

I'm on the long approach for a log splitter build. My BIL gave me one of these (used) PRINCE Cylinder,hyd,2 1'/'2 Bore x 16 In Stroke - Hydraulic Cylinder - 5Z366'|'PMC-5416 - Grainger Industrial Supply The only problem i see with it is that it's previous life was on the bottom of a tilting...

My NAA has a pretty nasty habit of marking it's territory all over the place. I set about trying to minimize that. First, just completed, I re-plumbed a bunch of the loader plumbing from the tank to the pump. I also replaced the leaking seal in the pump that is found...

Does anyone know where I can get an exploded diagram for an old vicker hydraulic pump? It is off a shawnee loader that is mounted to my NAA. The pump drools a pretty good stream of fluid from around the shaft when it runs. The shaft appears to have a bearing behind a snap ring but I can't see...

Has anyone ever heard of Betstco or Value Leader implements? They seem to be one in the same. Experience? Pros? cons?

Well this is one way to learn a lot about how your tractor works...buy a kit...ford 800 tractor w/loader

Saw this today in Salem Oregon Scrapyard. Couldn't get a straight answer on how much they would let it go for.

This is bound to get someone drooling... This is in the local Salem Oregon scrap yard...no word on how much they would let it go for...

So My BIL loaned me a kubota tiller for a while which worked great behind my Mitsubishi. He wanted it back but gave me a Landpride RTA 1550 instead. He had just picked it up with a tractor deal he did. Being bigger I'm going to fit this tiller to my Ford NAA. The tiller clearly spent it's life...

So the cooling fan in my old Miller thunderbolt has been making noise for a long time. I finally took it apart to investigate how bad the cooling fan motor was...it is pretty much shot. I took the motor to a local repair guy and he can't/won't fix it. Apparently the bearing are likely...

Those of you looking for a project or parts. This was in the local scrapyard in Salem Oregon. Yard boss says it runs. He is not parting it out at this point and would let it go for $1500.00.

I was at the scrapyard in Salem Oregon. Saw a diesel fordson major on the yard. Looked pretty complete. Guy said obe of the mechanic fired it up and ran it around the yard. Worker bee said likely would sell for 2k.....just fyi.

So yesterday I'm cooking along. Newly sharpened blades on the brush hog making quick work of a neglected section of my yard. I got a little sideways in a ditch with the 2 right wheels in the ditch and the left wheels out. The steering was hard to the left. I tried to back out of the ditch to...

I've got an old Shawnee loader on my Ford NAA. I have been slowly getting it into shape (see the thread in the vintage ford section). I blew a hose during the first hour of operation and have decided to replace all the other lines that either look bad, have obvious wear to metal, or are...

I just got back from wandering through cherry city metals in Salem Oregon. There are piles of trailer fenders, (look to be stainless) for both dual and single axle applications. Also stacks of new axles. Just FYI if you are building or rebuilding a trailer. No info on prices, nor does this...

So I have been randomly noodling something about front brakes on tractors. Neither of my tractors have front brakes, which is most of my experience. I'm not sure about newer tractors but I guess I haven't actually seen a tractor with front brakes. I'm wondering why? Outside of helping the...

This thing is just kind of funky/neat...wish the picture was bigger. corn topper (scrap metal mostly)

I ran across a 1985 chevy "kodiak" dump truck. The engine is listed as an 8.2 liter diesel. Does anyone know have any details on this motor? Is is a chevy engine or made by someone else? Generally reliable? thanks

Does anyone have a good Napa part number for the radiator cap and fuel tank cap for an NAA? I also have Oriely's and car quest near by but my preference is Napa. Thanks.

I have the carb off my NAA disassembled and cleaned up and ready to go back together. The venturi piece looks to be bent/malformed and has several cracks in it. The parts suppliers That I've looked at don't show this as a part that is available, so any new piece would have to be scavenged from...

So I wandered around the local scrap yard for a couple hours looking for materials for a project I had in mind. Some luck in that regard, but I also got distracted with some other stuff you guys might find interesting. the round thing is a clam shell hatch that is about 4 feet in diameter...

Just saw this on craigslist, for your enjoyment. custom tractor with grader and plow enclosed awesome!

Just heard about this product. Home » Engine Cooling Systems I'm not sure if they explicitly have a tractor product but i was wondering if anyone has used it, and how it worked out.

So I just brought home a new tractor project. I was planning on starting the project with a good wash down. It has 40 some odd years of leaking petroleum products covering it. I was planning on doing this in my driveway but then I got to thinking. I really don't want this stuff to end up in...

So I have been bugging my wife for a tractor with a loader. My little Mitsubishi is great but is not so equipped. Here is the latest project...Just got it home less than an hour ago. The motor is free although the clutch is not, but hope springs eternal. It appears to have a low range...

Is anyone aware of a kit or plans to add speeds to a drill press. I have an old JET machine with 2 sets of stepped pulleys. What I imagine is adding a third pulley in between the 2 and running with 2 belts. This way I increase the total number of drive ratios. I have minimal machining...

Alright, I've been given the go ahead to get a trailer for our up and coming farm...low budget (less than $1200) here is what I'm considering. Trailer 1. Homebuilt recently by the retired seller, Deck size approximately 6 by 12 feet, 2x6 decking, deck height about 10 inches, pockets for...

Hi, So I ran into a "barn find" of a G154. I'm considering trying to pick it up. What I'd like to know is about the availability of parts for this tractor. I am familiar with the KE70 Mitsu engine that is in it, I have the same motor in my MT372. The engine might need rings. Beyond that...

somebody needs a new project...not me though 1974 Satoh Tractor S650G for sale

Hi, I recently ran across a Yanmar 1702D that might be for sale. It is a friend of a friend kind of situation. The tractor apparently runs but has a mysterious transmission problem that precludes operations. The current owner doesn't know too much about it but says "there is something in...

Hi, Does anybody know of a source for preformed oil lines for a 1948 8n? We busted the front one while removing the water pump. It was rotten and ready to blow so probably better to break it while not out in the field...We put it together with fittings and fuel lines and everything is holding...

So as if i didn't have enough projects of my own i offered to get a friends 8n running again, ("sure i said, bring it over, no problem":D). So the thing is mostly suffering from neglect. Nothing has been cleaned or changed in well...a long time. It is a 1948 based on the serial number...

Hi folks, I'm pretty new to welding. I picked up a used Miller thunderbolt AC/DC machine. It seems to work OK and I have been practicing some...it's coming along. My question is this. I want to attach some D-rings or hooks to my Frankenstein dump truck (84 Chevy) besides disconnecting the...

So, I recently received a tiller to use on my MT372. It is a little Kubota branded tiller, with a 40 inch till width. It is my first tiller and it worked awesome. I had to shorten the PTO shaft which I read about in some other thread on this board. Great! But here is the mystery. The...

Anybody happen willing to loan me, or know where I could get an Operators manual for a Kubota FL1021C Tiller. I realize this is likely made by someone else so perhaps there are other brands that correspond as well. Thanks

So, I currently have a MT372 (2-wheel drive) I just put in a clutch, and cleaned up wiring, and it has fresh gear oil. It has about 890 hrs on it. I recently found a S-470 (4-wheel drive). It runs good, but probably needs a clutch soon, as well as a lot of cleanup of wiring etc (the plastic...

So I have a Mitsubishi 372D. Today while running my brush hog it started spewing the gear oil (80w90) out of the boot around the shifter. It was under a lot of pressure and I probably lost several quarts before making it back to the barn. The night before i had topped it off so the level was...

So, I'm having trouble getting my tractor in gear (any gear) it grinds something fierce. Once I do get it in one gear or another, the tractor creeps while my foot is still down on the clutch pedal. This indicates to me that it is time to put a clutch in it, as no amount of fiddling with the...

Hello, I have a line on a Kabota tiller, model FL1021c at a good price (a hand me down from bro-in-law). Will my MT372 be enough tractor to run this well? I'll be re-tilling current garden space as well as fresh ground for new garden space. The ground here is high clay content and can be...

I've got an MT372. I had been using it all summer with no problems. It then sat for several months under cover. Recently I started it with no problems but as I started driving gear lube started flowing out of the rubber boot on the shift lever. I pulled the filler plug out (while running)...

So I lifted my three point lift with no implement on my 372D and now it won't come down. I tried all variations of the flow control valve and stood on it with several friends. Not budging. Any thoughts?

Hello, I am looking for a small tractor to handle brush cutting and tilling on a new piece of property in Oregon. I have come across a Mitsubishi MT372. I'm completely new to tractors but managed to do a test drive with it yesterday. While the guy was showing it to me the 3 point lift arms...
