Hello everyone. I've been following several threads here for quite a while now. I've really enjoyed Obed and PClausen's threads dealing with home building. I've noticed the community here has been great to offer useful suggestions and years of knowledge. I do not have near as interesting of a...
Hey fellas. I need some advice on replacing a grey drain water pipe. The pipe only contains the washing machine and garage sink effluent. The pipe is 2" PVC coming out under my home and then is tied to a 3" corrugated drainage pipe under my back patio and into the back yard. I suppose I'll dig...
I had 28 stumps grinded in my yard this weekend and now I have enough leftover material to fill two dump trucks! :shocked: My question is should I leave the material in the holes and maybe pack it down and let it rot or should I remove it maybe use it as mulch in some large flower beds and...
I'm trying to decide between the two lawn mowers above. Both have the exact same engine. Price is exactly the same as well. The Husky has a top speed of 7mph while the Cub has top speed of 5.5 mph. Speed isn't huge to me though. The cub has a turning radius of 12" while the Husky has a turning...
I didn't see a Cub Cadet tab in the Forums list, so I figured I'd post this here since MTD makes Cub Cadet. I'm trying to decide between the two lawn mowers above. Both have the exact same engine. Price is exactly the same as well. The Husky has a top speed of 7mph while the Cub has top speed of...

I've found a John Deere 550 5ft tiller for sale. I'm mostly going to be tilling my garden and maybe a few others gardens. Is this a realiable tiller? I would think with it being green it is probably worth a few hundred. I believe it is chain driven. What are the benefits of chain driven versus...
I've got a chance to pick this tiller up. I'm mostly going to be plowing up my garden and maybe a few others garden. How good of a tiller is it? I would think with it being green it is probably worth a few hundred. I believe it is chain driven. What are the benefits of chain driven versus...
I have several cedar trees that I need to get rid of and I also need some mulch in my flower beds. I also have a chipper/mulcher that needs using. I know cedar naturally repels some insects like moths and other bugs. But should I worry about termites? I've heard several horror stories of people...
1968 Ford 4000 3cyl Gas
When I start her up the PTO is turning regardless of what position I have the lever. If I have the PTO disengaged and don't have the bush hog hooked up the PTO seems to turn the same speed as when the PTO is engaged. If I hook up the bush hog the PTO barely turns the...
Got a few quick maintenance questions. I just bought the Ford 4000 and I'm going through changing all the fluids and filters and plugs and that sort of thing. I drained my hydraulic and transmission fluid and it came out milky. I've seen this in the N series tractors as water leaks in and...
Anyone know if the hydraulics on a IH 240 work off the engine or the transmission? I know the PTO works off the transmission, but I wasn't sure if the hydraulics do as with the Ford 2N, 8N, and 9N models. This is the deciding factor in whether or not I purchase this tractor.
Found one of these tractors and wanting some opinions from the John Deere guys here. I know the tractor was produced as a industrial model and that is about it. There isn't much information on the web about these tractors other than for sale ads. Anyone have any experience with this tractor...
Anyone have any experience with a Fordson Power Major? I've about settled on this tractor, but I can't make my mind up. Will regular Ford parts work on the Fordson?
I'm trying to decide between these two tractors. I will mostly be brushogging and finishing mowing and tilling 1 acre gardens for multiple people in my neighborhood.
IH 464 is gas and has somewhere around 45 horsepower at the pto and 41 at the drawbar. The seller states that it runs well...
I'm looking at buying a John Deere 3010. The price is really good and according to the seller everything works well and the are no leaks. The thing that concerns me the most is he told me that it was originally a tricycle front and the guy he bought it from put a 4 wheel drive hydraulic axle in...
Just introducing myself to your awesome sight. I have a 1952 Ford 8N and I am looking at purchasing a John Deere 3010 right now. I posted a thread in the buying/pricing section about the 3010. Check it out and see what you think. :thumbsup:
