Went brush hogging at a friends place and noticed the fan belt was very lose. No it did not overheat, but it needs to be replaced. Trying to move the dynamo, Found it hit the oil filter before it would tighten up the belt. Hit the dynamo bolts with PB Blaster, and having a hard time moving it...

I just picked up a Onan 15KW Pto generator for 80 bucks at a yard sale. But the thought of letting the tractor run like a stationary engine for a few hours without anybody sitting on the seat to see the idiot lights kind of scares me. I have oil and temp alarms on the boat diesel where the...

My youngest son lives in a rural area about 150 miles north of us and a week ago, called me to ask if I was wanted a PTO gen set, I asked how big, and what brand, he said Onan, and I asked how much he said 80 bucks. I told him to pick it up, and now it's in the back of the truck. Will be...

Here in the wet Pnw, We have a LOT of slugs, snails without shells. Ducks love them but, will destroy a vegi garden is short work. In the last month I have added I guess around 1500 pounds of coffee grounds to the garden. No slugs anywhere around the garden. Worms are everywhere. I make the...

I have worn out the belts on the pto finish mower, and had to get a couple of replacements quick. Turns out the orignal where 16mmX1178MM, And the closet was a 64 X .50 inch. I expect a short life from these belts, am looking for a source of metric belts. I have googled the part # have come up...

Here in the PNW, (home of Starbucks), there is an Expresso stand on almost every corner. I live outside of a town of 2500 people, and there are 6 or more of them. I have a local restaurant that gives me a 5 gallon bucket of grounds and filters every other day, that I add to compost, but an...

I use a lot of air tools around the place, nailers, staplers for the fence. I have 300 ft of air hose, but tired of dealing with it and wont reach all the places. I could put a gas compressor on a trailer, but hate to deal with gas around here. With the pto, I could get all lots of cfm.

My sweet cherry tree has for the last 20 years had ripe cherry's around my birthday at the end of July. It has been a nice birthday present. I was down to the tree, today and the cherry's have are over ripe, and the birds,have cleaned me out for the most part. I will around the 15th of July...

I think that I located the module bolted into the under side of the dash. But can't seem to find an easy way to get at it. Do I have to pull the dash out, and how?

A friend gave me a couple of 5 gallon jerry cans of diesel because he sold his tractor a while back. Being low on fuel, I grabbed one yesterday, and topped off the tank on my 186d. Got it warmed up and headed off to my sister in law to do some mowing. Got a little over a quarter mile down the...

When I took the tractor out of the shed this spring, I changed oil, checked all the fluids, and greased everything. We had a very wet spring, and the tractor was parked outside a lot. I have been seeing trany oil seeping out of the PTO, and the TPH leaver. Pulled the trany dipstick, and found...

Well pump went down last Friday. Did not know it until after 5 pm, when the stores were closed. Thought It was just another cap, have replaced them a couple of times over the last 25 years since I put the pump in the hole. Using a sump pump to water the garden, sucking from the pond...

I welded on a trailer hitch receiver on a drawbar to pull the trailers around, But I have to lift things as well, and I don't have a front end loader yet. I just built a cheap boom lift with some box tube, and a hitch insert I got a a yard sale for 2 bucks...

We look for the signs each Friday morning, and found this trailer, as well a a bunch of useful stuff in the free pile.

I have found some leakage in the pto staft area. Think it may be a seal. I looking at the service manual, I find two seals, one a seal collar Part B and a oil seal Part C on page 50-20-6 PTO drawing 1866026 of the service manual. Any one have a parts list with numbers so I can find...

I found a hole in the top of my trans fill cap. The one located under the seat. Almost looks like one of the kids that I had around here over the weekend put a finger through it. Hoye's does not have a listing for a new one. Any help would help.

I was given a 8.5 X 15 foot shed. I am planning one half as chicken coop, and the other garden tool and supply storage. Will drag in over to the garden area in the next few days. My oldest son posted the unloading on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4m2phiN3Qs&feature=youtube_gdata_player I...

I have been thinking about getting a donkey or two to do guard duty against the racoons, possums, and coyotes that are around as we are putting chickens on the property this year. I will have to put in additional electric fencing, but the two places next door have put in new fence for cattle...

I am looking at a Fen Dong 3 cyl diesel coupled to a made in UK genset, rated at 12 KW. It is skid mounted, Water cooled, and has less than 200 hrs, and the seller is asking 2K for it with a full rebuild kit as well (rings, gaskets ect) I know that Fen Dong is from china, but know nothing...

Here is the link Yanmar 3 cylinder diesel engine This engine has been listed many times before, but I think that at 195 bucks price would be firm.

Is this a rebranded Yanmar? This New Holland blue tractor has a power shift tranny, and what looks like a Coldwater loader. Can't tell but the rototiller looks a lot like the ones on the grey market Yanmars. Or did New Holland have "power shift" trannys. New Holland 4x4...

I have spent the last week building a wheelchair ramp for my MIL that lives on our property. Today, poured the concrete for the landing, and it was less than 2 hours from being able to be used. About a grand in materials, over 40 feet long. She wanted to go to town, and coming down the steps...

I was given some wild boar, one piece feels like a ham, but uncured, about 15 lbs, some chops, and some steaks. The boar was shot about a year ago and processed in a butcher shop, and wrapped. I has been in a freezer for about a year. I understand the boar was a male, and might taste gamey...

Stopped by NAPA today on my way back from the JD dealer to pick up an oil filter. A young blonde gal (my guess about 30) asked if she could help. I said "I need an oil filter for a Yanmar 186", and she said what? So I repeated, and them spelled Y-A-N-M-A-R. She told me she did not know what...

The website upgrade yesterday, now means that if I click on a thread that I am following, it starts at the first post. It is a PITA, to click to the last page each time. I don't know how to get to the moderator to complain. Is it just me, or other people having the same problem.

I live close to the county fair grounds, about 4 miles, and they are having problems getting rid of the compost left from all the horse shows, and other things that go on there. It is a mix of mostly horse, and straw and wood chips. Almost no smell, but still steaming when it was delivered. I...

I watch "Freecycle" in a couple of the local county's here, and up came a post for 100 gallons of diesel, and a 275 gallon tank. I responded quick, and picked it up last weekend. Had to pump the fuel into 2 55 gallon drums, and then load the tank witch was in a garage on to the trailer. One...

9 inches of snow on Tuesday, then another bunch to bring it to over 22 inches on the ground here. Now we have freezing rain, and it is taking down the forest around us. Just like the 4th July, as all the tree tops gave way from the weight of the freezing rain. Some times it sounds like guns...

On the way home tonight, came around the corner at my place, and there was a truck there and a couple of kittens running around on the road. The gal in the truck, said that they where in the road and was concerned about them. Now I know all all the folks around, and can't think of any with...

Last night, we were "baby-sitting" our grandkids. 6&3, and went to a friends party, Ribs, clams ect, small party as they have kids as well. My granddaughter came out of one their bedrooms with her hands all sticky, and my wife took her to the sink to clean up, and asked what was on her hands...

Over the holidays, I purchased 3 solar, security lights. About 20 bucks each, I won't list the brand or where, but WOW, I am impressed. Lights up my trek between the shop and house. Even the small dog set's them off. 2 very bright LED's on each one. And no running wire out to them. They...

I picked up a middle buster, and even with the shortest top-link, I still need it to dig deeper. Posted on the attachments form, and was told to add longer lower links. Are lower lift arms pretty much standard, or are there some things that I need to look for? Also, what effect if any will on...

I just picked up a middle buster, from Dells, our version of TSC. It is a Countyline. I changed the top link to a 14 inch when shorted all the way, But even with that, can't get it to go the last couple of inches into the ground. It seem to level out a couple of inches short. Yes, the 3ph...

The dyno light came on today as I was using a middle buster. Finished the plowing for the day, and found that the "Molex" type connector that goes from the dyno to the regulator has no locking detent. Just plugged it back in, and the light now is out. Just wondering how often this will become...

This is rototiller 4 1/2 ft. Dual V belt drive to a 3 speed trany. Found this in the woods behind a friends house, and they don't know anything about it.

I found a Yellow 4 1/2 ft tiller in the woods when I was brush hogging a friends place the other day. I have been having trouble ID ing it. Dual v belt to a 3 speed inline shift trany. A friend said Massey may have made it.

First yard sale got a Lil-Chief smoker brand new in box and a new dehydrator for 25 bucks. At a later yard sale, picked up a older school 8 drawer craftsman tool chest, with all the ball bearing slides working like new for 15 bucks. Are things getting that hard that people are selling this...

Just finished this yesterday. Popular project on TBN this summer. Thought that I would break down the costs and a little about the material it was made from. It all started when a friend gave me a couple of pieces of Kenworth log truck frame. Had another person I know plasma cut 1 double...

Pic of my grandson and I today, letting him steer the tractor around part of the yard for the first time. He just turned 6 so it will be a while before he will be able to reach the controls.

Just started a project, and need a right angle pto driven gearbox like those on a brush hog. Standard male spline on the input to a keyed shaft on the output, not even sure what to call this gearbox to google it.

Found it while hogging a friends back 40, It has set for over 20+ years, but all the bearings turn, took pic's but don't know how to post. Already drug it out of the woods, and starting to modify to fit my tractor.

When brush hoging a friends back 40 found a tiller that had been there for over 20-30 years, all bearings spun, and now i have it at no cost. Still trying to find out the manufacture, and will be listing it in projects as well as it needs some mods. But I can't figure out how to post pic's of...

I got my right side tail light hung up on a branch the other day, and broke the stem off. It is about 5 inches square and amber both front and back. I would like to only replace the one I broke, but I can't seem to find any but the round. I drive on the road all the time, and like to have the...

The have both the cat 1 and cat 2 on closeout. 89 bucks for the class 1, and 139 bucks for the class 2. I just got the class 1 and it seems well made, and it's easy to find 20 percent coupons to save even more. I got it on the tractor yesterday, and have used it with the back blade so far...

I bought a top link a couple of months ago, and had trouble putting the pins in, bought new pins, with a sharper angle and still needed a 3 pound hammer to get them seated. Both of the knuckes at each end are frozen one at an odd angle, But I took it back to the feed store that I bought it...

I got the HF quick hitch today, and after a few min in the rain, realized that I need to widen the lower lift arms on the 3ph. I sprayed both of them down with WD-40 but I think it will take some heat as well to break them loose. It'd raining so hard here that I can wait a few days before I...

Last week I ordered a quick hitch, and an one other item over the phone because I could not order online. It used to be that after I got the conformatin order I would get the tracking # when they shipped. I called "customer service" yesterday during the "PST" hours, and talked to some one...

A few months ago It worked great when I had to cross one of my creeks, today, I had one wheel slipping and stomped the pedal, and it did not engage. I have not gone to the manual yet, and it was getting dark, the pedal stayed down and had to pull it up with my heel. Any thoughts? This is on a 186D

Just ordered the HF quick hitch, but can't find the top link adapter, I know I saw it on this site, and I know it does not show op on their web site. Any help is welcome.

Sorry folks if I posted this in the wrong place, but growing up in the sticks, this brought back a lot of thoughts of my childhood as well as what my kids pulled. Around age 10 my dad got me one of those little badass compound bow beginner kits. Of course, the first month I went around our land...

I picked up a back blade today, and the private seller had a 5 foot rototiller that he said that he was going to put on graigslist next month for 300 bucks with spare set of new tines. It looks a little heavy and I know nothing about Titan products. I think that this tiller will pay for it's...

Just saw this and thought to pass it on. Tractor rollover is major farm death cause - UPI.com

Found a 6 ft rear blade on craigslist, only around 60 miles from where I am. 300 bucks, Is it a good deal? 6' Back blade with 3 pnt If not what should I offer? I know that It is a little wide for my tractor, but a cutting torch can take a few inches of both sides.

I have been looking at several, and wondered about the fact that the 3ph has no down pressure, to these work well? Or do you just use the weight of the tool to do the work? Just does not seem right, since I used to run heavy eqpt. years ago.

As some of you will know, I had a HF finish mower shipped to me a short time ago. It has a bunch of zerks, that my grease gun just wont fit over. The grease gun works on the japan zerks on my 186d and everything around here just fine. Do I have to replace them? And if I do, maybe retap all of...

I am looking for a good link (internet) to buy a shorter top link for the new finish mower, looks like I need one about 9-12 inches shorter than the one on my brush hog. Tractor Supply has Extra long ones, but It looks like I need a much shorter one. It's raining and hailing here right now, and...

I have been looking at the HF 5 foot finish mower for a while at the Harbor Freight web site. 5 Ft. 3-Point PTO Finishing Mower At 600 bucks, it looked like a good deal, but with a 100 buck shipping charge, was a little out of my budget and did not need one until spring anyway. About a week...

Any tricks to this, as I will be doing this this week, went to wally world and got the coolant today, but worried that I have hard water and after the final flush will be using distilled water mixed 50/50 with the antifreze.

Been Thinking about getting the for the tractor 5 Ft. 3-Point PTO Finishing Mower as a wood worker, I know that Harbor freight sells a lot of crap, but sometime they have something that works well. With a 20 off that they always email it seems like a good deal. Pete

I have the new boot, but have been looking at the manual, and It looks like you have to pull the whole front end off the tractor. Maybe I am reading the manual wrong. Has anyone done this? Thanks in advance. Pete

I just got my new to me 186d home today, and spent a couple of hours mowing. My place has some hill issues, and the tractor came with a 5 foot brushhog. There are 3 Yanmar suitcase weights on the front end, but it still seems to "pull wheeles" I am thinking about building a box that hangs on...
