I will be purchasing an old Massey Harris grain drill. The man I am purchasing from has a tractor with forks that can load for me. What do you think is the best way to load this? Maybe tying on just inside each wheel on the axle? I am afraid it might pinch the grain box on top though. Thoughts...

I recently bought this 10ft cultipacker. I got it for $600, made a good little drive to pick it up only to find out 4 of the 32 wheels are damaged. There is 1 other wheel that is damaged but it is very minor. I am debating on whether to take these wheels off completely, or try and find somebody...

What kind of wheels are these?

I have a 9ft pull type JD Van Brunt grain drill I will be taking home in the very near future. It has been sitting up for several years under a barn. I am going to grease all fittings and lubricate. The drive back to my house is probably 2-3 miles. Does anyone have any advice or is there...

I have a 2001 JD 5310. First time tractor owner of about 5 months. It seems i have too much play in my sway bar, notice it mostly with my bush hog. When i have them connected. I dont believe its drastic enough where its hitting the tires but i noticed it when i had my 7ft bushhog on the other...

A good friend if mine is getting rid of some extra equipment he has. He is selling this 8ft (i think) JD Van Brunt grain drill. I glanced over it the other day and plan on looking at it much better in a few days when i have time. Seed box is fine. Fertilizer box has some rust in it. Appeared to...

Ok I have had my tractor for several months and just got my first pto driven implement (7ft bush hog). I have a JD 5310. Do I set the throttle and engage the pto all while in Neutral? I have read where to engage the pto with the throttle down some to avoid slipping the clutch on the bush hog...

Let me first say I know pretty much nothing. I got this tractor about 5 months ago. I noticed the other day when i walked beside the tractor the smell of fuel. I chalked it up to nothing. I used the tractor about 3 days ago and had 1/4 tank. I crank it up this morning and make it a little ways...

I just bought my first rotary cutter, a 7 footer with dual tail wheels. It seems when I lift up cutter, the tail end is much higher than the front and when I lower it, same thing. I have extended the top link out as far as it goes pretty much, and it is much better,,,, but is there a different...

My JD 5310 is 58hp to the pto. I have been on the lookout for used rotary cutters, but most look like they have been beat to **** and back. I want something big enough to do a job easily, but not too big to where it would be too big to get in places. I was thinking something around the 6ft...

I recently purchased my first tractor. I am an avid hunter and gardener. I knew i always wanted a tractor, but for the last 10 years I always talked myself out of purchasing a tractor because i know pretty much knew nothing about tractors and how they work. Meaning, if the tractor ever would not...

I recently bought a 2001 JD 5310, 2wd, with 542 FEL. Tractor has 1,200 hours on it. I looked on fastline , tractor house, equipment trader and other websites for comps. I found most 5310's in this year all had 2k + hours and the lowest i found was listed at 18k+. They also looked much "rougher"...

When I bought my tractor last week the seller told me everything was perfect on the tractor Except the piece that controls the Coolant temp sensor needed to be replaced. When i was looking at the tractor he had me put my hand on the side of the motor to feel it was not hot. He then cranked up...

I have a 2001 JD 5310 I purchased last week. Low hours at 1,200. It is my first tractor and I have enjoyed it thus far. I have been looking around and checking different things out on the tractor and decided to look in the fuel tank and I saw some "crud" and what looked to be pieces of vinyl...

I have a 2001 JD 5310, 2wd with FEL. This is my first tractor and just wanted to ask a few basic questions. I picked up a 55 Athens 7ft harrow earlier this week.

I have a 2001 5310 JD 2wd with a 542 FEL with bucket. Previous owner said he put water in rear tires. Any idea of what it weighs? Couldn't figure out how to post a picture.

I recently found a van axle from a 1995 plymouth van. The van has 14" 5 lug wheels. I am wanting to use the axle for a utility trailer and i want to change out the 14" wheel with either a 15" or 16" 5 lug wheel so the trailer will sit up higher. My question is will i have to locate a Dodge truck...

Im going to be building a 250 gallon propane tank bbq smoker . Ive swapped out the 2000 lb axle on my trailer with a 3500lb axle. However my toungue weight on the trailer toungue says max 300 pounds. What can I do to increase my toungue weight capacity? Trailer is made of 2"x2" square tubing.

Ive got a small utility trailer im wanting to beef up to put a bbq smoker on. Im looking for a 3500 pound axle but having trouble locating a used on. I did have a fellow offer me a plymouth minivan axle with tires for 60 bucks. Would this work? what would this axle be rated for?

Does anybody here use their tractor to pull/dig fat lighter stumps out of the ground? I know a back hoe would be more practical but can it be done with 60-70 hp tractor with FEL, or is it not reccomended? Just curious. Thanks
