    Winter starting problems tx1500/tx1300

    I had a TX1500 for about 20 years. It would not start in cold weather even with glow plugs. A battery out of an 86 V-8 Mustang will just fit with a little help and covering the battery terminals when installed. Be sure to replace battery cables with larger ones. Even with a bigger battery it...

    Pipe Threader

    I just had a pipe threading project. I went to a used tool store. I found a nice quality hardly used Rigid thread die and ratcheting handle for $50. The tool store owner said he would buy it back for $25 when I am done. I felt like this was a good deal for both of us.

    I grew up around John Deere tractors A's B's and then newer 4 cylinders and then a big 4020. My wife saw this Model 50 the other day with a FEL. I do not remember ever seeing a 50 series tractor. Were they as dependable as the old A and B models? It is a 1952 model with a single tire front...

    Just getting started

    I inherited an Iseki TX 1500F from my father-in-law. Everything works fine, but it needs a muffler. A snow plow and a snow blower are in my dreams.
