Hi, is anyone able to help me maybe, I have a CK2810 hst that needs a new stop solenoid. We dont have much info on Kioti over here, does anyone know the part number for the correct stop solenoid for this machine? Year is 2015. If there are any other details let me know! Thanks!

I'm looking at midrange Deeres. I have read up on the 3050 and it appears to be the perfect tractor, I understand they are super reliable and a good tractor overall. However, it appears that everyone else knows that too as the 3x50s are really quite expensive. And to be honest, i dont really...

I'm wondering if anyone would be able/willing to read the specs off the motor on their rotary mower, or finishing mower and post them for me. I'm thinking about building a hydraulic mower deck for my tractor, and I'd like to have an idea of what displacement motors are being used on something...

Built some forks a while back to move wood and pallets about. Made them width adjustable so that they will fit different sizes of pallet, and you can slide them in next to each other for using like a boom pole.

OK, heres the deal. Down the road there is a field with lots of old farm machinery in it. The machinery has been sitting there for a good many years. Today the owner offered if I would like to go and take any parts that I might want. Initially there is a topper (bush hog) that she knows I can...

Thought some folk may be interested in the mower I made over about 2 months this summer. Its got Wheelhorse blade mandrels, blades and pulleys. The engine is a Briggs I/C 10HP, its a bit of a monster really, plenty or torque. The rest is home made. It'll cut 30" folded up, and 56" folded down...

I'm wondering what you guys have with regard to safety devices on your rotary cutters? To stop stuff flying out and such.... I've heard of chains around the blade to stop stuff flying out, was it Henro who put mesh on his ROPS to stop stuff hitting him? What do you have? I've been knocking up...

Sorry to nag when you probably have better things to do, but my PM box is bursting at the seams. Is there a chance of bumping up the max from 50 to a couple 100 maybe? I'm just about to go and delete a load, but I doubt I'll get it to 50 Thanks.

I see reference to both these models on the site, they are the most basic, cheapest models. The 204 is basic, with the 204s being the next step up. Seems the differences are limited to an extra cylinder, high lift 3ph, different tyres and a 1" bigger clucth on the 204s. The price is higher, but...

Hi, I was wondering if any BX1500 (or other BX series for that matter, though 1500 is preferred) could post the following measurements for me Front and rear tyre size Distance from loader upright to the front axle Loader pin Diameters Loader arm lengths (upright to bend, bend to bucket) Ram...

Does anyone remember the link Some guy had made his garden tractor into a monster truck type thing and had videos on a site of him driving over a car. Anyone got that link to his site Much appreciated, cheers

Well I was doing some work (whats that? ) and I came up with this. Check the pic out. Grammer check solution, it says solutions. Change it to solutions and it grammer checks it to solution. Uh, I think somebody screwed up a bit, or is it just me. Im gunna have to go see somebody, its messin with...

Remember the 'Thoughts on a strange idea' post? Well its back, this time with a doner tractor to do it. Ive attached a technical drawing. To the untrained eye it may just look like a load of images put together on paint but to my trained eye it is a detailed plan with inner workings and...

Im sitting here, its late at night, its dark (probably something to do with the fact that its night ). Ive got nothing to do. Why not go to sleep I hear you ask, stop asking difficult questions, its too late for that I reply. It seems I spend most my day doing nothing. Move 3 stones from the...

I think there is something missing in my life. Not a wife, a loader Ive been inspired by pics on the P.F. engineering site and Machine Builders Network to make one. Figure I'll just slap it on the Wheelhorse (poor thing, it will break permanently soon) Now I figure I can make the frame easy...

Any ideas on how to make one. Just filled one tyre with water using a small screwdriver to remove the core but the other tyre valve core is stuck, need a tool to remove it. Any idea how to make one, all shops closed beace its sunday. Thanks for any ideas

It came. The guy dropped it off about 4 this afternoon. Seeing the smile on his face when he was taking it off the trailer I told him to take it round back, talk about kid in a candy store, I will say it was clear by his driving he doesnt drive them often I think the car driver was a bit...

So now weve established that fish would not work out in filled innertubes as the chips would go soggy, antifreeze attracts animals, Bonehead found some stilton, John and Bird dont like their beer ice cold and filling the tube may cause condensation on the rim. So now im thinking about it even...

Ok, scinetific questions here. Are mountain goats physically different to normal goats or is it just that they live on mountains? If they have physical differences if you put a mountain goat on a flat peice of ground would it lean and only be a ble to walk around in circles? If you put a...

Muhammad\'s got an indestructible tractor!! Has anyone but me noticed that Muhammad never posts with problems with his tractor? Doesnt anyone think this is odd? I have to conclude therefore that Muhammad has the only indestuctible, non-wearing, self-maintaining, self fixing tractor which also...

Some questions if I may, Can I actually do this or will it just be a donut shaped water balloon? Same process as normal? Antifreeze water mix or just water? Can I put slime or something in to prevent punctures with the water? Can I put goldfish in there if I remember to feed them? How about...

Reemco Some stuff on there that I could use

Well on a slightly less humorus topic. Yesterday got a piece of dirt in my eye. Now nearly 24 hours later its still there. Its like having someone poke a needle in your eye every 5 seconds. My eye is watering so bad I can only see blurs and my other eye is blurey from birth. Really dont know...

Couple of questions if I may, Is it better to have the blade further out front or close in? How much below ground level should it be able to go? Thats it for now, thanks in advance See this thread, it shows what I am doing and if you could help out with some of the questions there it would be...

looking for pics and ideas of blades people have made or just general ideas. I have started making it, have the curve of teh blade and a huge sheet of stainless steel for the face. JUst need ideas fot the blade supports and angling mechanism. Have ideas of my own but in previos experience others...

Went for a ride on the mower to go and ensure that the bottom of the garden was still there, mainly because I was bored. Fortunately the bottom of the garden was still there, which is just aswell because it was 2 mins ago when I made the last trip to check (I was bored then too ). Anyway, drove...

Well after seeing the thread redneck ride-on, I had to have one. Just made it, here it is. (pic) She rides well, cylinder needs setting down more though, optherwise cuts good Just to prove its mine put tractor in background.

Was asked to produce an invoice for a mowing job that I did so the guy can charge it back to the organisation. So, being a fairly unofficial guy, I have no buisness name. Would like to put one on there for various reasons. Need to think one up. So far, Sunsine Mowing?, Happy Sunshine Mowing...

After the sucess for the plough on the Wheelhorse and having ploughed most of the garden it stuck me, what now? Its my belief that after ploughing its common to disk right?

Hi, I'm looking for pictures of cabs on GTs to copy some ideas from. Im kinda stumped on how the front area around the footwells and over the bonnet infront of the steering wheel should go. Does anyone have any pictures, or could take some pictures, of this area. It would be much appreciated, i...

Not sure if I should post this. But.... Just playing around saw a stack of pallets, drove up it. Thought it might be worth seeing how far it goes. These pics are of the furthest I could take it. Front to back I ran out of room as the linkage wouldnt go up any further. It had loads left, still...

So for best traction, viewed from the back, should the arrows be pointing up (^) or down? seems like with the lugs pointing down they capture the dirt in the vee and pointing up they push it to either side of the vee (when driving forward) whats the best way for best traction, what do you run...

How much per hour is the norm for hedgecutting with a long reach hedgecutter? Got a fair bit of hedges to cut, I have no idea the ballpark figure what everyone else charges. So whats the going rate for this (hourly rate, price per meter?)? Thanks for any response

Title kinda gives it away, got a few questions tho, on wid the story. This morning I spotted a old horse drawn single furow plough in a friends woods, swapped it for a bit of strimming. Carried it home, yes thats 1/4 mile carrying a plough that i could just lift standing still, then had a long...

I was mowing an older ladies lawn. Done it many times before. The kind of old garden with apple and par trees, long established with gnarled branches just above head height. Well it was raining so i decided to do it with the WH because of the roof on it to keep me dry. Anyway i was mowing quite...

I got this chainsaw with scored barrel and piston. It is all fixed up and has compression with new rings and piston. The problem is; I can start it by putting fuel in through the spark plug hole but when the fuel in there runs out it stalls. It wont suck fuel up on its own. I have tried doing...

No idea the right forum so its here For final project for course i need to build something. I have decided to make a load leveler as the one in the pic from nrthern tool. just wandering if anyone has one to take photos from different angles, possibly say any problems so i could improve on them...

just a collection of questions that dont deserve a post of their own. Thanks for any answers. 1. anyone ever heard of a pressure lube engine pumping oil to the air filter? 2. can i weld cast iron with a standard arc welder and 6013 rods? 3. do garden tractor transmissions use hardened metal for...

Been playing around with the welder and the WheelHorse Started off building front and rear bumpers, all went so well i went one step further Got fed up of getting smacked in the face by brambles and brances. Solution, cab! Mini style. Now this tractor is about 1/2 the size of a BX Kubota, so...

OK, planning to put on a huge snorter of an exhaust on my Kawasaki single cylinder petrol modded out wheelhorse. A stack, stainless steel or whatever 2 reasons, 1 lifts hot exhaust out from dry flammable grass, 2 looks cool will this affect the performance?, will be about 1 meter long with a...

Pic explains all Just to show i have done something, not look at TBN all day while its too wet to mow. Any other attachments ive missed out?

Kawasaki 12.5HP petrol engine. Air cooled. It kicks out a load of black and white smoke when starting from cold. Like LOADS of smoke. It runs real rough, you drop the revvs and raise them and its smooth. Runs sweet otherwise, is powereful, thought not as much as i would expect, so possible loss...

Rear attachment linkage: Wheelhorse \'98ish Anyone have pics of the attachment linkage on a 212-5 Wheelhorse It has a rear PTO, i wanna utilise it and i need to know how the rear linkage goes so i can make one. seems like a waste of good PTO not having one Cheers!

So the B6000 is gone, my paddock mower. Not really much mowing to do, I thought..... "Oh, you should have told me you had a tractor" "Well i think i did...." "Well i forgot to say i had a paddock that needs mowing every month" "Oh dear, ive just sold it, sorry" You get the idea...... So i want...

Anyone heard of them, positives, negatives? The price looks right but at about 1/2 the price of honda im concerned. Want to use to tow trailers and ride round tracks ect. Apache quads I can probably get a bit of a discount on them. thanks for any opinions

I carried out a highly scientific study to see if waxing the underside of your mower deck improved collection ability. Two lawn tractors were used, exactly the same in every way, except colour. The first tractor was the control (A) The second having had the underside of the deck waxed. (B)The...

Brian the B6000 is to be sold!! Guy offered me a rather special sum for it . Took me a while to consider, about 1/10 of a second Just fit the new oil pressure switch and away he goes. Feel terrible now. Regret selling it. But the money, oooohhhh..... But the tractor, arrghhh..... About 1/2...

Bought my 3rd garden tractor saturday. no real use for it, just liked the chunky back wheels . Toro Wheelhorse 212-5, 12.5 HP, 8 gears (none of this hydro junk), 38" rear discharge deck. Makes mincemeat of brambles, logs and barbed wire you can see the deck in the background (and the kubota)...

Heard on the radio today fuel prices set to rise to £1 a litre I make that approx. $10 a gallon. An incredible percentage of that is tax. Think agricultural diesel is about 20p a litre (Densleigh, MetalChicken, you know?) Thats just nuts kinda prices, it now costs me probably 5p more each time...

I know petrol goes off but does diesel. Anything wrong with my tractor having stood for a month unused with half a tank? Should it start straight back up? Cheers!

Ok, getting fed up with it now. Seems the local bird populance either have weak bowels or my tractor has become a target. Ok, it is green, it might look like a tree. Ok, the steering wheel may look like a nice branch to perch on. But there is NO NEED to empty ya load, little birds, all down the...

Ok, so i think its acceptable to name ones tractors. Its just part of acceptance into ones family group. If your tractor, after naming it, is part of your family should you talk to it? I mean, you dont go about ignoring your wife and never uttering a word no matter how had she works (ok maybe...

Just thinking today, yea i know, it bad for ones health...... I could get many running 3.5HP briggs freeish. 3.5's in themselves aint too good for much. can i weld engines together output shaft to flywheel, thus making the overall output more? might work? the pic demonstates the idea

The next post in the Miths el-cheapo new tractor saga After the recent big coolant freeze, it was decided that immediate action would have to be taken. 3 days later, still in nearly sub 0 (oC) temperatures i drained the coolant. It looks like this. (pic) But what does it all mean? I see a bit of...

Just wondering how ya'all clean out your radiator took the grill cove off and it was proper clogged up. Took the air line to it and this did well. Still though there are bits deep inside the fins that the air wont blow out. not really sure that taking the pressure washer to it is a good idea...
