Been a long time but I thought I would answer the concerns above. First off it is over 10 years later and this thing is still working just fine whenever we have a power outage and I need to fire up the generator. It makes it so easy. I can't speak for how other utilities operate, but my...

Here it is 2021 and I still have the X534 (with 284 hours) and the snow blower. My cable mod still works whenever we get snow and I get to use the snow blower which hasn't happened in a couple Winters now. I figure we are due this year.

I recently changed a line to the boom cylinder and afterwards the boom now sags under it's own weight. Never had a problem with this cylinder until I changed the hose. Now, even after a few hours of use it has not self-bled and returned to normal. I have down pressure and I can also raise the...

"..I remember seeing those red wasps but never got stung..." Are you referring to Red Velvet Ants? They are called ants but actually a wasp. The females are wingless and can be up to an inch long. Males have wings but no stinger. red velvet ant - Google Search I have seen them a few times...

Heard from my BIL yesterday that he almost burnt his shed down. He had just finished mowing the lawn and went in the house to get a drink of water and take a short break before putting the mower and yard tools away. He came out to the back yard just 5 minutes later to find his mower engulfed in...

Hey Gearz, the O-ring chain tensioners I found on Amazon I believe. They are made from ~1/4" round neoprene and about 8" in diameter. Mine came with four hooks to secure them to the chains. Some people use bungee cords to do the same thing. but these O-rings I think work better and provide a lot...

Interested in hearing opinions on loading zero turn mowers on various style trailers. Do you load forward or backward and why. How do you load with ramps and how with a tilt bed. I searched this particular forum and the whole TBN site and though I got hundreds of hits of all the threads I...

Thanks for the feedback about dogs and mothballs. didn't know that. How long do the Bounce dryer sheets work...weeks, months ? The area I need to protect is behind the instrument cluster as can be seen below. The only way back there appears to be to remove the instrument cluster which is only...

Slightly overloaded. I snapped this just as the light turned green. We were not moving yet.

I'll be assisting a friend with moving a JD 6x4 Gator this afternoon using my tilt bed trailer and was wondering about proper tie down points on the gator. Can anyone tell me does it have tie down points on the frame and if not then what's the best place to use. I found the manual on the JD...

I have a couple of the No-Spill cans and Oi like them. I bought a 5g diesel can and a 5g gas can as well as a 1 g gas can for mixed fuel for the weedeater and stick edger.

Thanks everyone. Wasn't sure if there was any need to worry about the air getting trapped in the cylinders or not. The fittings are (I would imagine) those that came on the plow. I'll get the numbers off the fittings next time I am over there. The hose definitely says 3/8" Hydraulic Hose SAE...

I want to get a set of lines made up for my JD 4410 so I can run power from the rear remotes to up front to power the snow blade angle cylinders. First problem seems to be that the hoses on the blade have some odd size connector. Went to my local hydraulic shop and he couldn't match them up...

2012 F-350. 6.7 diesel, 38000 miles. Over 95 % of this miles are unloaded/no trailer and my average commute one way is 19 miles with few stops and almost no traffic in the morning since its so early. I've been getting 20-22 mpg for the last 7000 miles. Overall since mile one about 19 which...

We have a large wood deck constructed from 2x6 deck boards over 2x10 joists every 16 inches. It is very sturdy and once held a 500 gallon hot tub. The hot tub is gone but the large (1200 sf) deck remains. We've been thinking about putting a wood burning firepit out on the end of the deck which...

If you had a chance to buy an adjacent lot would you do it and is it worth more to you than someone else might pay that didn't own adjoining land. I heard the neighbor may be thinking of selling. The house is not much and there are no outbuildings other than a broken down shed for some...

I was thinking about how I might use a shipping container as part of a shop. While searching I came across this video. I think he did a nice job on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kyxk8yeI-ig

Sounds to me like you are talking about a 3 point attachment on a utility tractor and the OP (I think) is talking about a mid mount mower on a lawn tractor. If you have a lawn like this you might want the cut a little more even.

Here's a nice stand for a PHD. Not sure if its something fabbed up by the owner or if it was purchased with the PHD, but looks to be adjustable for different models or to allow it to align with various size tractors I would guess. Not much material there, should be easy to duplicate. I think I...

would you happen to know the part number for that kit with the hardlines? It really would not be too hard ot bend up some hard lines myself I think, I bent hundreds of feet of 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2" SS and copper tubing over the years piping up instrument panels loaded with pneumatic instruments...

I was not able to find a buyer for this mower even after dropping the price to $50 on CL, so yesterday I took it to the scrap yard and sold it for 10-1/2 cents/pound, got $35.70 for it which is better than nothing. It wasn't doing me any good sitting in the yard in my way.

I've searched here and the web and looked through my literature for my 4410 but can't find out if a snow blade for sale locally will fit. From the sticker on the blade its a model MJAL1673E 72" JDQA blade. Tried looking for information onthe JD web site but couldn't find anything. So can...

I don't have a photo with the PHD attached but here is a shot of the return on my JD 4410. You can see the return port with the black dust cap over to the left of the photo with the 90 deg. fitting looking up.

I have a New Holland 914A 60" mower that I got with my TC25 when I bought it. I've never used it and want to sell it. I put it up on CL and I got a call from someone interested in it but they have a Ford 1210 and not sure it will fit. Mower needs work to get in an operable condition and the...

To update, I noticed this week that they have all disappeared, at least all the fields I have passed in the past week which is when they appear to have been taken up. Those fields are starting to show some green this week too. Still have not found anyone here who can answer they why about this...

That's how I ordered my shed at the house for my lawn tractor and all its accessories. With the mower its about 800# so I had them use 3/4" PT plywood double layered over 2x6 @12" centers and added a couple extra 4x4 skids underneath. I could probably park a car in there if it were big enough...

i like that idea. did you apply the foam insulation yourself?

One of my handles stripped the first time I used it. Took them both off and will either weld something to the bolt or replace with a handle from Reid Supply or McMaster-Carr. Other than that the table seems pretty good. Used it for the first time today on a quick weld job. When I bought my...

Well, this weekend was nice and I figured we wouldn't get much snow out of this storm, but it just started snowing a few minutes ago and the forecast is for up to 8 inches by tomorrow night. Yesterday I took the snow blower off the tractor and its not going back on for this last blast of...

Wouldn't these terms have originated with the first tractors to offer hydraulics other than the 3pt lift? It was not the first most likely, but didn't old Fords have a valve plate that was added to provide a 2nd function, and then another valve plate could be stacked on top of this to add a 3rd...

Searched but didn't get a hit on the HF Welding Cabinet #61705 I thought it looked pretty good and on sale for $129 I was ready to grab one but they were all gone. The drawers fit pretty good, sheet metal is not too thin, the drawer slides are good. Cart seemed pretty stable and once the...

yes, a hydraulic top link, or maybe top and tilt, is on my list next from Brian. I would have got it now but this deal came up and didn't want to miss out. The blade is like new and I got it for much less than half of a new BB2072. I know, ya want photos, this is the only one I have right...

Found a Frontier 72" box blade for sale and wondering if its too narrow for my 4410. Should I get a 84" or is the 72 gonna do it for me. I have a Woods 84" rear blade and when its angled it still covers my tracks, but I won't be angling the box blade so does it matter.

so here are some photos to show what I have done. Its very simple, but works well.

Never saw a trailer like this before. There was a thread a while back and someone was comtemplating how to load their trailer at a loading dock which is set up for trucks. It looks like this trailer will rise up to loading dock height then drop down for transport. I've included a couple of the...

Don't know if this is the best place to ask this, but couldn't find a better place. I have noticed over the past few years that the local farm fields get populated with a pair of pallets leaned up against each other to form a inverted V shape. they are always out near the middle of the field...

And they weren't done loading yet.

i was thinking the same thing as the best solution for a small project. if you didn't have a welder you could drill both sides and install a bolt with nut to hold the pin in place on each end. if you had a press you could build a jig to form the end of the conduit like this.

I don't believe there is any offset. My Dig-it looks identical to this one (mine is a model 158) and I will check next time I am over at the property where its at. The model 158 does not have the collapsible axle for getting through tight spaces. I think that was the model 148 and could squeeze...

My JD PHD200 has the power down option. I was looking at it today and thinking I will not use the PHD that often, at least not as often as I will use the 3ph for other attachments. I was looking at that hydraulic cylinder and my top link and thinking they are about the same length and have...

Old iMatch had a fixed top hook, new iMatch has adjustable hook. Is the old iMatch usable or to be avoided?

I made something like MtnViewRanch but built it on a pallet like grsthegreat did.

I found a 4410 diesel w/430 loader and 6 foot bucket and eHydro trans for sale locally. Can't read the hours since its a digital hour meter and no display when off. Sitting out by curb for sale, no one home to talk to when I stopped. No info on sign just "for sale". So quick walk around I see...

I've got a chance to pick up a Smithy bench top mill/drill/lathe at a reasonable price. Model is a Midas 1220 LTD Anyone here own or use one and care to comment? And are they domestic or foreign made. Midas Combo - Features | smithy.com

Anyone removed the all or part of the rear seat in their super cab or extended cab pickup and replaced it with storage. Maybe some drawers and a hinged top. If you don't have kids you're not going to seat many people back there since there is less room than a crew cab. I don't have a need for...

Concrete would cost more of course, how much I'm not sure but I would guess at least 50% more since there is much more labor involved. Concrete would be nice yes, but taxes increase with concrete drives here, asphalt is not considered a permanent improvement. Is that not the case elsewhere...

For lack of a better/proper name, I need to replace the cowl molding on either side of the cowl at the base of the front windshield on my 05 F-150. Looked on a couple parts sites including Ford Parts and I don't find this part listed. It's a soft plastic or rubber type material, and the sun has...

When you buy decommissioned warships at a dollar a ton its easy to save money on raw materials. The paint color comes from mixing all their waste products into the paint, giving it that universal orange color that they recognize in their country as containing waste products. nothing sold in...

You might want to look at the bagger system used on the old Sabre series mowers sold by JD about 10 years ago. I had one with the bagger and I really likes the way the bags hung, very easy to get off and on. When I replaced that Sabre with my current X534 with PowerFlow bagger system I was...

That's the problem, no loader, no hydraulics to tap into. The loader is on the old Ford 2600. I believe I would need another valve plate under this one to get another remote..correct. I don't want to side track this thread so I will take this elsewhere.

I see that Caterpillar has the D7E diesel/electric drive dozer and I couldn't help wonder if the same drive system had been considered for tractors and if it would work or not. Doesn't seem to be much different than hydrostatic drive in the end but then why did they convert the D7 over to...

I have heard nothing about a possible land plane kit coming but I have not followed this thread religously, so I bought a Bush Hog RG72 locally for use with my TC25. Got a good price and it has 6 rippers which is where the 50 pounds over the EA Land Plane probably comes from. Otherwise, not...

I didn't see a reason why either but figured I'd ask. I would like to add remotes to my Ford 2600 for a Top link and a second remote possibly for tilt or for hydraulics on an attachment. And I was thinking of using a joystick mounted inverted under the controls for the loader (Bush Hog 2400QT)...

I see there is now a smartphone app from New Holland AG called 'My Shed'. Not sure how long its been out there but looks interesting.

Is there a reason why a joystick could not be mounted so that the stick hangs vertical from the valve body as opposed to being on top as is normally done? Why? Don't ask. It's just a dumb question that I have not seen asked or answered. I don't see why myself but not being into hydraulics I...

Using Messicks website because it has a number of brands, I looked up the price on the ripper shanks and teeth for 72" Box Blades. Looks like most would run from $42 to $55 each, with the outlier being Bush Hog at $27 for the shank and $5 for the points or teeth. Since this BB uses 7 rippers...

It's been painted over as you can see and I found no visible markings as to who made it.

I noticed the TSC in my area has Tarter equipment made in the USA. I have never seen this brand anywhere else. Are these considered average quality or on par with imported stuff. The 6 foot tiller I looked at was gear drive, reversible, and looks well made.

I have a NH TC25. A friend has a Land Pride RTR0550 tiller and reading the manual on line the max hp is 25 and it sounds like this tiller might be sized for tractors smaller than mine since it can be used with cat-0 and cat 1-limited 3 point hitches as well as cat-1. Is my TC25 too much for this...

ok on having to do an external poll. i know that vBulletin has the capability to do this as other forums that use the same software have it and its not because of a add-on from what I was told. You can create time-limited polls or open-ended ones, and choose to have radio buttons (choose one...

Needed a couple 1/2-13 X 1-1/4 Gr 5 Carriage bolts and flange nuts for my rear blade so I looked for them last weekend when I was in Tractor Supply...no dice. I was kinda surprised since they are for mounting the cutting edge on my rear blade it seemed like it would be something they would have...

This one is minus a blade but I think you can see how it works.

There are many saws which come with blade welders built in, and those saws are not $100k machines. some fab shops I have worked in had Marvel vertical saws which had blade welders on them (but I don't remember if they were a Marvel accessory or something the shop added on) and I know those saws...

I picked up a old (1985) Greenlee model 348 (which looks like this Telmac, i think greenlee actually bought them out years ago) at a local auction for $200. Cleaned it up and found some blades online and checked it for square and I'm set. It's a dry saw with 1hp and four speeds. The blade can be...

Wondering if anyone has a thread here (searched and didn't find one) about installing amateur gear in newer pickup trucks. My last was in a 05 F-150 and I did not have any issues but it was only a dual band V/UHF rig and I ran less than 20 watts most of the time as the repeaters are close. In my...

I know there must be a few OEs or other knowledgeable people on here that can answer this for me. I looked on OSHA's site and searched here but could not find the answer. This is for my own personal interest in crane operations. On the various jobs I have worked years ago (retired now) I often...

anyone seen this concept vehicle at one of the auto shows lately? http://fordatlasconcept.fordpresskits.com/factsheets/Ford_Atlas_Concept_Callouts_US.pdf They do have some interesting features on the above fact sheet, but I remember the H2 concept when it was first shown in 2000 at the Hummer...

I disagree with your comment about backing off your wrench to zero when not in use. Places I have worked with procedures on torque wrench use say when the wrench will not be used for more than a half hour to set it to the specified setting on the calibration sticker or to 20% of its range above...

we got them in. they are 4 foot screw anchors with two ~5" diameter screws. had to dig with the pick another foot, so about 18 inches down ground was soft enough to get them going. i had 8 of them to do. it hasn't been cold here for long. last week it was in the upper 50s and only dropping into...

anyone have a good tip for getting anchors in the frozen ground , beside waiting for spring . Tried using a pick to get through the first 6 inches, tough going. It's 20 deg here and ground is nice and hard.

Dont know who made it for Sears but I have a Craftsman digital torque senser that makes any ratchet a troque wrench. Its 1/2" drive and has a remote display with hold feature like on a Fluke meter. You can set it and it will beep when torque is reached. I've had this for over 8 years. It comes...

I searched but did not find a thread on this but it probably is there somewhere. Anyway, Has anyone added parking stands/legs to a detachable loader? I have a Bush Hog 2400 QT and it would look to be an easy add to make the loader self-supporting and make mounting/dismounting easier, faseeter...

Tried your puregas.org website but got hijacked when I entered the URL to some other site, was caught by Spybot and MS Defender and blocked from doing any damage to my computer. I entered www puregas org and got redirected to ww2 purgas org then it went to some other site about Monster job...

I am suprised that you have wind noise in the cab of your truck. I find mine very quiet, much better than my 05 F-150 and the noise level is close to that in the wifes BMW at similar speeds. Unless you knew you would think that 6.7L PS was a gas motor, not a rattling bucket of bolts like some...

If that's what you're after then I can't recommend the system in my 2012 F-350. It won't do text messaging with my HTC Android phone. \ The NAV system is primative, there are $150 dashtop GPS units that do a better job or any smartphone except maybe Apple. No where near as much voice command...

Have you tried these blades? http://www.amazon.com/Tenryu-PT-11536-Carbide-Tipped-Blade/dp/B000G1MSP8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1355095149&sr=8-2&keywords=tenryu+blade+4-1%2F2%22

this was all makeshift using what was on hand. The pipe or bar would need to be 7/8, the holes are 1". I used the length of 1/2" galvanized pipe I had in the shed. The RR is also not centered at this point, but that could all be corrected with something more permanent.

Just for the heck of it I stuck s length of pipe through the ears on my RR and clipped the cables over the top hook on my quick hitch. Here's a photo, I'll add some explanation later.

I got away from using coffee cans and switched to those stackable plastic storage bins in various sizes. Mine hardware is more visible and easier to find and takes less space in the cabinet. I haven't converted everything over yet, still have about 2 dozen coffee cans with nuts/bolts,nails I...

Came across this on YouTube. Searched but didn't find anything on the forum though I know there must be. Anyway, this looked interesting if you have a large number of fence posts to drive. Don't know any more than having viewed the video, no connection to the company making this tool, don't...

Torque multipliers do work, but I don't know that you need to put out a couple hundred just to get these bolts loose. I vote for heating the nut and spinning off with your impact. Manual doesn't say but they may be prevailing torque nuts or deformed or distorted thread nuts, these can be a...

I spent some time searching and have found very little about Digmor Equipment and Engineering Co. on the web. It's almost like they don't exist any more. I did find a few photos of the box scraper. Looks to be a heavy duty unit and the way the ripper teeth roll down into position is unique...

What are the differences (if any) between the NH 1530 and the TC25? From reviewing TractorData.com they appear to be about the same. Is the TC25 just the newer version of the 1530 when they changes the naming scheme of their tractor line?

I noticed that besides the wire color the layout of the connections is different on my alternator than yours jinman.

Found this behind the dash panel. Looks like a mouse had made himself a nice home some time in the past. no way he built that in the past 2 weeks I have owned the tractor .

Last farm auction I was at I watched them load a utility trailer on the back of a gooseneck trailer then drop a small lawn tractor on top of that sitting crosswise.

This is my second day with the TC-25 and have no experience with any of the Boomer series machines and no manual so I have some questions: This is a 9x3 manual transmission. On the right side on the floor in the back close to the trans is a pedal with a round head about 1.5" in diameter, looks...

I have one too that i bought this spring. Paid more than catdozer but mine is also in great condition, used maybe one season or two from the looks of it. I run it behind my Ford 2000 which seems to handle it just fine. I also looked at many abused mowers on CL and elsewhere and was tempted by a...

Will a TC-25D be able to handle my Frontier GM1072R rear finish mower? The TC25D has a MMM, but wondering if I can use it in place of my 75 Ford 2000 to operate the Finish Mower.

Cellphone camera shots so not the best quality. Its a TC-25D with 914A rear discharge MMM.

Went to auction today and my friend picked up a NH TC-25 with belly mower for $3600. I'll post a pic later. I saw two BX-2200's each with a belly mower go for ~$5k each. I bid on a Toro Dingo with std bucket but when the bidding went past my limit and I dropped out. At $6500 it went for more...

Still looking for a tilt bed trailer, found a 7 year old PA International with an asking price around $4k Interested in opinions from those familiar with the make trailer. Here's the description from the ad. 2005 PA INTERNATIONAL 10,000 GVWR HYDRALIC TILT BED TRAILER DUAL AXEL-- 15'WHEELS &...

Saw this on CL and it looks too good to be true. I am not in the market for another tractor, was just searching to see what was out there in my area and came across this. Doesn't give a location so I wonder if its on the up and up or one of many CL scams. I'm not labeling it as such, I don't...

What about a gate the swings upward? It could pivot at the bottom and rotate 90 to a vertical position. The mechanics of it might be easier and less moving parts than some other designs. I've seen gates that operate in this manner but have not seen how the linkage works up close.

If you bought that Sears lawn tractor new it was around $2900 from what I see on the website. You could have picked up an older utility tractor and a mower for that money. It would not have been new but would be up to the task. Earlier this year I did just what Soundguy said, and picked up a...

Saw this moth on our deck the other day. Never saw one like it around here (Southern NJ) before. Body is about 1.5 inches long and almost a half inch in diameter at the widest part. Wing span about 2.5 inches

Driving down 4 lane state highway this morning, speed limit in this area is 50 MPH. I spy a S-10 P/U coming at me in the passing lane with something which looks to be pretty big riding in the bed. As he gets close enough to see I can make out what it is. It's the front clip off a Crown Vic...

I misspoke slightly, the single axle trailer is only good for 6120# with a 920# tounge load.

Here are a couple pics. I will inquire with the local Fire Dept and the County Heavy Rescue to see if they are interested in doing it as a training exercise, that's a good idea.

Here's the situation: I have a friend who has a compact car that has been sitting out in a back field for many years. A couple of the tires have gone flat and a groundhog has made a home under the car. His digging has caused the car to settle down on the frame and three of the wheels are sow...

I got the nut, but no replacement tube. I think I can reuse the old tube. NH part no. 351112S I had tried the local auto parts house, no luck. Ended up driving 15 miles to the NH dealer.

I was looking the motor and noticed that the vacuum advance line to the distributor was loose. I tried to tighten the nut , but it was tight . however the tubing was loose and rotates inside the nut, and can not be tightened anymore . I loosened the nut and removed the fitting . I found that...

5/8" is a little thick for my Thomahawk 375 plasma cutter so I torch cut the tooth out. Trial fit up. My MIG technique leaves something to be desired, but I have maybe an hours worth of trigger time since I got this MIG machine. I'm better at stick but don't own a stick welder of my...

Looking for reviews of the Miller Mutlimatic 200 Can one machine do it all reasonably well? I have a Lincoln PowerMig 180 so don't need another MIG machine. But for some occasional TIG and stick work is this worth consideration. Introducing the Multimatic

Well, I was driving by on my way to do a couple errands so I stopped and looked it over. I believe it is a 54 based on what I could see of the s/n. Looked like 5 digits starting with NAA8?2?3 which I believe makes it '54 vintage. Fired right up from a cold start. No smoke as it was driven...

i may find myself in new holland, pa some day soon. is the old NH factory open for tours or is there anything on the history of the company to see there?

I hooked mine up today and got to try it out for a bit. Worked nicely but unfortunately the one hook doesn't fit inside my 60" bucket. so like others have found out you can mount it to a 60" bucket on the Bobcat but its not optimal w/o modifing at least one of the mounts. I tried to get them to...

Well I got to do some mowing this afternoon. I snapped a pic but forgot I had the camera in close-up mode so the photo is blurry, I'll get a better shot next time I am over there which probably won't be until next weekend.

Still looking at various tilt bed trailers. I've got three choices right now. 1. 2007 Bri-Mar 18' tilt bed on CL for $4300 asking price, average condition but could use re-decking judging from looking at photos. Brakes and lights unknown at this point, haven't eyeballed the trailer...

A Dig-It or similar towable backhoe would work too.

Anyone have experience with this air suspension system which is optional on PJ Trailers? PJ Trailers - Trailer Flex Air Ride

A nice 3930 sold here yesterday at auction for $7400 in very good condition with 520 hours.

Is it a 4000. 3 cyl diesel

Anyone here have anything good or bad to say about Belmonts' tilt deck trailers. I'm going to an auction this weekend and there is one about 6 years old on the block. Says 17' but no gross weight given or model number, the auction listing just says 17' Belmont tilt trailer. Couldn't find a...

I see my photo didn't get posted with my message from my phone, I'll try again from the desktop. The aerial lift is 4600#, more than my little bobcat or the tractor. It might not have brakes, i will have to find out about that. There are 6 lugs on the wheel. Yes, its a lot of weight and a...

Found this single axle trailer with 6200 rating for sale cheap. Comes with the reach for good measure. Could I move my bobcat m610 or my tractor (Ford 2000) with it? The bobcat is 3900#, tractor is about the same.

I happened upon a antique gas engine show with many old lawn and small garden tractors on display.

Re: 75 Ford 2000 3 Cylinder Today I found some time to clean the tractor up a bit. I washed it from stem to stern and it looks much better. I also got the new battery in and it starts much better. I wanted to warm everything up after the washing to dry up any water so I drive around for about...

Need the correct battery size for my 1975 model 2000 3 cyl gasser. Don't have original battery.

Found a used 72" Frontier Finish Mower in excellent condition but the price seems high and I don't know what these cost new. It is in good shape from what I can see but couldn't see the blades. Its on consignment at a local equipment dealers shop so he could only tell me its 3 years old and it...

75 Ford 2000 3 Cylinder OK, so my search for a tractor is over, I have the '75 Model 2000 3 Cylinder, and how I got there is in this thread: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/new-holland-buying-pricing/239609-ford-8n-worth-consideration.html#post2786123 But now its time to clean and fix...

I searched this forum but didn't get any hits. I'm looking for information on where I can get ignition parts, thermostat, filters, etc. for my 65 model 2000 3 cyl gas. I believe a Motorcraft FL-1 oil filter will work. The original plug was an Autolite AG5, what is today's equivalent? Cap...

coming home with my new toy. Now that I look at that last photo I think maybe I should have had the tractor back just a tad more. From the angle the photo is taken it looks like the front of the trailer is heavy, but it did not feel that way. Where I loaded was maybe not as level...

Tomorrow I hope to look at a model 3000. Don't know the year or anything else except the ad says runs good (dont they all) and good rubber. but these have power steering and some other improvements so might be worth a bit more. at least i will be older than the tractor. :)

OK, in my travels this morning I spied a '63 Ford 4000. Asking price is $4500 which I think is high. There's a little wobble in the water pump bearing so that needs replacing and the front tires are shot. It's been cleaned up and repainted. Since it it only shows 580 hours on the meter (if...

There is a 8N in good condition near me for sale. Has been cleaned up, repainted and appears to have no active leaks. Tires are good no signs of dry rot or serious damage with about 50% life remaining. No one was home to get to fire it up and hear it run or a test drive, so everything above is...

I searched and did not find a thread about making gears and a while back I came across this site of a gentleman in Ca that is very inventive and he has an online gear template generator that you can use for free. I do not know him just what I have seen of his work on his site and YouTube but...

Curious how often you are seeing the "Cleaning Diesel Exhaust Filter" message pop up in the information screen on your Ford 6.7 Powerstroke. For me it seems to be about once per tankful. Also. I am sure it varies but how long does it take for this regen cycle to complete for you. I find it...

No, that is not the answer. Here's an example of what I am talking about and how it could work. In the first pic you see a snagit clip of the post with the thumbnail photos. When you click on a thumbnail the photo is displayed in a pop-up window. If you were to then click on the photo...

I notice that when someone has more than one photo in a post, to view the next photo you have to click on it then the photo opens in the same window that the thread was being viewed in. To view the next photo you have to back up to the post then click on the next photo which opens the same way...

Sounds serious. I was thinking when I read the thread header that this was gonna be one of those threads with pics of how people comically overload their vehicles like this: Sorry for the poor quality shot. I grabbed it with the cell while sitting at the red light. I looked over to my...

I was at the Philly Auto Show today and grabbed these cut away shots of the new 6.7L diesel. I figured these are things I might never get to see unless there was reason to tear down the motor so I thought it would be nice to take a few photos. I noticed there are 6 head bolts per cylinder and...

I thought I'd start a thread about my new 2012 F-350 and being new to the Super Duty line I'll probably have some views and opinions that many long time Super Duty owners don't. I also thought I would comment on all the creature comforts in the truck and what I like or dislike about them so...

Thanks everyone for the comments on my new F-350. Since my truck was ordered by me the window sticker never appeared listed on the dealers web page asit was never 'on the lot' so to speak. I'm sure many of you have viewed the PDF version of the window sticker of a vehicle when shopping...

Here's a couple quick shots with the cell camera. My 05 F-150 in the background.

Here ya go. My 95 Hummer parked in front of the house. My H1 on the left winching out a friend who got stuck in some sand. A friends H1 on the obstacle course at the AMG Proving Grounds outside South Bend/Mishawaka, IN during the second Homcoming in 2002. Another H1 running one of the...

I may need to change the starter in my 610 soon, or at least get the starter out and have a look at it as the starter drive sounds like it does not engage fully every once in a while. I don't want to end up with mangled teeth on the ring gear so I'd like to look at it now before it gets worse...

I realize the curb weight of any vehicle will vary with the selected options but why is the 'as built' curb weight of a vehicle not included on the sticker along with the front and rear axle max weight ratings, tire information, etc. Is it because they are worried that people will use that...

On the fence over a 11 or 12 model year. Need to be able to tow my 12K dump trailer. Like creature comforts. 4x4 is a must. Supercab only not crew cab or regular cab. XLT or Lariat package, don't need the King Ranch bling and the XL is to plain for me. 6.5' bed only, 8 footers I don't care for...
