    Ideas for shop built man lift?

    I'm building a shop with cedar siding, and need to get high enough to finish the 25 foot high gable ends. I've been using my FEL with homemade forks and plywood platform that gets me high enough to reach about 12 feet high. Any creative ways to safely reach to the top?

    MF1429 rear axle popping noise.

    I was moving my 2005 MF1429 a few feet the other day and heard a popping noise about every 10-15 ft. in the right rear. I jacked it up this morning and manually rotated the RR wheel, and at one point in each revolution it has a "rough" spot where it takes more effort to rotate the wheel. Any...

    Where to buy Oxy/Acetylene tanks

    I have a small O/A torch that you can carry around. It's great except every time I get in the middle of a project I run out of one or the other. Where can I get a decent priced back-up set, or a larger set without spending a ton of money? I think I know the answer, but I hope not... (nowhere)

    FEL quick coupler hard to get to.

    I have a MF 1429 with a m246 FEL. I removed the loader last week to do some work on the hood, and had a hard time getting my fingers into the tight spot where the hydraulic "quick" couplers are. They are inside the channel shaped control valve stand, and it's so tight that you can only get two...

    Backhoe  Is this an ok backhoe?

    I have a 28 HP Massey Ferguson. I would like to find a cheap workable backhoe. I found this one on Ebay. I don't know much about them, and would like opinions. Is there anything else that would have to be bought to mount it, or does it just mount on the 3 point hitch? Thanks. NEW 3 POINT BACK...

    MF 1429 value

    I would like to get a general idea of what this tractor is worth. It's a 2005 MF 1429 with 302 hrs. 4WD and front end loader. I haven't seen it in person yet, but am going to look at it tomorrow. It's supposedly in good shape except for a small dent on the hood.

    ford 2000 Leaking fluid

    I bought an old '67 model 2000 Ford and it is leaking what looks to be hydraulic fluid. I crawled under it, and it is coming from around the shaft where the clutch pedal is attached. I don't see any way of removing the clutch pedal to put a seal in it. Does anyone know what is involved in...

    Anybody know how to build a chipper?

    I would like to build a chipper for tree limbs. I have a lot of pine trees I'm wanting to remove, and I'll use the logs for lumber, but I don't want to burn the brush. I'd like to build a good solid chipper. I can figure out the frame and drive, but I would like to see a breakdown of how a...

    My first tractor

    Hi everybody. I just bought the first tractor I've ever owned. It's a Ford 2000, and I was just wondering if there are any good websights to get info about Fords like mine. A web sight with pictures and how to stuff. The reason I bought it is that my neighbor had a great old David Brown...
