I have searched this question in a dozen different search engines with no real help at all. Hopefully, some of you guys will know. Considering the 1962-1965 Ford 2000, what does one look for to determine whether a tractor is a "Utility" or a Wide-Front Row-Crop ? >>: On EDIT: I was looking at...

I have a Harbor Freight crane, the bigger/taller one with a hand-cranked winch. My son got it for me several years ago and it has been used almost daily. Lately, the hydraulic jack has started leaking fluid. First, it started dripping around the little "ON/OFF" screw-thingie whenever the...

Hi. Tractor is a 1972 Mitsubishi R2500 2-cylinder diesel. It has a previous-owner installed front-end loader that has a belt-driven pump. The 4-bolt mounting bolt-pattern is 2-inches square. The top pressure fitting that connects to the control-valves is 3/8-NPT. The bottom low-pressure...

I have been carrying around a set of Harbor Freight 96933 magnetic towing lights for a few years, un-used, and still in the package, just in case I should ever have reason to tow something that did not have decent lights. I did cut a hole in the package, fish out the pig-tail, plug it in, and...

I thought there were a couple threads around here to discuss H-F stuff, what is good and what sometimes is not. I did a few searches and could not find those threads. I keep two grease-guns, always loaded with Kendall Super-Blu L-427; one is a pistol-grip with a longish flexible hose for...

Is the big 206-3/4-inch-long belt on my old Woods belly-mower a standard "B" width; or, if not, what is it ?? Thank you.:)

Please share your experiences with this or similar welding helmets : http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=91214 I have never used an automatic helmet and am not sure that I trust them. Please enlighten me. Thank you.:)

I have had one of those generic "made in Taiwan" 64-1/2 x 1/2 metal-cutting band-saws for over thirty years. It has served me well on countless projects, some quite intensive, such as building a deluxe fully-equipped 20-foot goose-neck live-stock trailer. I have never used one of those H-F...

Has anyone had any experience with this particular chipper/shredder ?? - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices I need it for getting rid of such assorted brush as black-berry briars, wild roses, and small limbs. Thanks.:)

I borrowed this picture from another thread. That is a very nice piece of equipment; my question is not about the nice rake; but, instead, it is about the draw-pins. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/build-yourself/73386d1175605404-quick-attached-landscape-rake-top-p4020055.jpg...

Does anyone know anything about cartridge respirators, such as which cartridges protect from what ?? I would like to protect myself from stick welding fumes and painting fumes. Also, I have an abundance of galvanized steel; is there a cartridge that would protect from welding that ?? I found...

Well, it finally quit pouring the rain long enough for me to run a little test on my shiny new H-F quick-hitch. In the mean time, I have reamed out every other hole for the J-hook to 5/8 and re-drilled the J-hook holes 11/16, such that instead of the supplied metric bolts, I now use 5/8...

I have no notion of the make/manufacturer of my loader. It does have it's own pump and reservoir, independent of the tractor hydraulics. A few weeks ago, I was moving several buckets of #5 stone and the bucket tilt cylinders seemed to perform strongly. This was the day that I had a hose...

When I got my tractor, the shifter-knob for the PTO was missing in action, with only a threaded stub sticking up. This was actually a blessing, as I made it ever so much better; whereas, had the knob have been there, I probably wouldn't ever have taken time to improve it. Being metric, a...

I have searched and read until my head hurts and I am more :confused: confused now, than before I started. I have gathered up steel and intend to set in on building a multi-purpose 3-PT-hitch trailer-receiver/pallet-fork/carry-all/boom-pole/ballast-carriage gizmo. I intend to get a HF...

I am not sure just where my question fits, so I put it here. Wherever there is a pivot point on my loader, there is quite a bit of "slop" in the side-to-side fit of things. For instance, the cylinders can slide back and forth about an inch in their brackets. At the bucket, the cylinders have...

Piece by piece, I have been carefully stripping, de-greasing, sanding, priming, and painting various parts of my tractor and equipment. Genuine Massey-Ferguson RED is six-bucks a can at the local farm supply. Plain old Dollar General Store RED is a buck-fifty; and, it is as good as any spray...

My old CTT-Tools made in Taiwan drill-press, bought nearly 35 years ago, has stood there and drilled a blue million holes in everything from BRNO Model 98 receivers to ring-binder holes in a stack of paper. The old guy who told me to "not have anything to do with that Chinese junk" went long...

I saw a bunch of AGCO 15W-40 oil rated CI-4 (not that CJ-4 junk) at the local farm supply. Does anyone know who manufactures AGCO oil and is it an excellent oil or just oil ?? Thanks.

This may be old news to some of you, but I thought it may be useful to put here. Several years ago, I put together a short length of air-hose that has a MALE coupling at both ends, and a ball-cut-off valve. I parked the portable air-tank next to the air-compressor and quik-coupled it to the...

I was perusing the wares at TSC, browsing amid the various hydraulic hose fittings, when I happened upon a variation in fittings that I do not comprehend. Please have a look. Standard male pipe thread : Swivel Adapter, 3/8 in. Male Pipe x 3/8 in. Female Pipe Swivel - 1818503 | Tractor Supply...

I found a dip-stick on the injection-pump. I have been messing with diesels since I was in diapers, even rebuilt a few pumps, and I have never before seen an injection-pump that had a dip-stick; the previous owner obviously hadn't either. I pulled the little stick and it was dry as a bone. I...

I just discovered that the little fuel return-line was just hanging from the tank; I had wondered what it was, just wrapped around the fuel filler-neck, but thought it was just a wire, until just now when I had the hood off. The little steel "nipple" is missing from the injector return-line...

I was looking at this picture and noticed what appears to be some kind of hydraulic hose protectors : http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/customization/112520d1224715082-help-mounting-chainsaw-polesaw-tractor-gun_rack.jpg What and how are these hose sleeves made and installed ?? Is...

Located on the "instrument panel", cowl, whatever it's called, on the upper portion, right-hand side, is an about one-inch round dome-shaped metal gizmo with a series of holes, much like a salt-shaker lid. What is this gizmo ?? Also, just below and a touch farther to the right is a...

On the top-rear of the injector-pump of my R2500 is a metal "jiggle-cap" with a copper?? or bronze?? mesh filter inside the caps perimeter. This cap is very much like the jiggle vent-caps found on truck transmissions, rear-ends, etc. What purpose does this cap serve ?? Thanks.:cool:

My R2500 has HI and LO PTO speeds. I assume LO is 540-RPM and HI is 1000-RPM; is this correct ?? I have a KingKutter L-48-40-XB 48" rotary-mower (bush-hog). I have been using LO-speed PTO; it does okay, but it seems that it could do better if the blade(s) speed was somewhat higher. As I was...

HI. I am recent new owner of a Mitsubishi R2500 2-cyl diesel. I know it isn't the only existing one, as another just like it is currently for sale on E-Bay, located in South Dakota; but, from what I gather so far, it is quite rare. I am seeking any information I can find about these tractors...
