Can't recall if i posted this here before. I have a new video of the pounder in action. First video on here and is a walk though of my design. I did ditch the trailer jack and I replaced it with a hydraulic spud that is about 18" long. Home made fence post driver - YouTube This video was...

I have a 3020 propane with 16.9x38 tires. I found a cab that was removed from a 4020. Will it fit my 3020?

Made this to attach to my boom pole for picking up logs, brush, and other junk. This speeds up the process since I don稚 have to get off the tractor and hookup via chain to what I want to haul off. My material cost was about $400. Materials listing: 1 36" x 20" x 3/8" air or propane tank...

I needed a couple extra inches on my hitch to accommodate my drag style brush hog. Instead of cutting down the pto shaft I decided to lengthen the draw bar. On the longest position, it was just inches too short. I came up with welding a receiver tube to the draw bar. This now accepts all my...

No markings that I could find.

I purchased a 10' brush hog. Unknown maker or age. Likely old since it is made with thick steel and channel iron. I have the old style slip clutch that is mounted to the brush hog. I removed the set screw from the side of the nut and I cannot get the nut off to replace the disks. I have...

I would like to add some tunes to the old tractor. Something to help pass the countless hours I will be brush hogging. The only thing I really see is the fender mounted radio at Northern Tool for $160. Are there other options? I looked at boat systems but they are not packaged in a nifty box...

I have the 3020 with the double bevel rims. Currently I have it set to the inside bevel and I can simply move the cast center to the outside bevel and narrow the rear wheels by a total of 8". My question is adjusting the cast centers. From what I gathered, I loosen the 6 bolts (3 inside and 3...

Not sure how long it will hold up. The originals lasted a good long time however they have been brazed back together many times in the past. I used the standard length 4' 3/8 rubber hoses that can be picked up off the shelf for $10. The original hard lines are 1/2 OD and a 3/8 rubber is 3/8...

Keep an eye on the push rods bending again. There was a flaw in these engines that the valve guide will migrate in the head. When this happens it prevents the valve from opening and the when that happens your push rods are the weak link and will bend. You can look through the valve spring to...

As I was working on replacing the steering valve, I decided that it was time for new wiring. 51 years and there were numerous cracks in the insulation and patch jobs that have happened over time. It looked like a fire waiting to happen. There were also numerous wires that I have no idea what...

I am curious about seat replacements that are out there. I see some OEM style replacement seats but wanted to know more about other options that fit. Minor modifications would be okay. OEM looks are less important than comfort. I am also curious on your opinions on the canopy(s) that are...

From what I have researched the steering valve is shot and needs rebuilt. It leaks from the steering wheel. Also the steering takes a minute to start working after sitting. If I had to guess, it acts like the hydraulics have bled down and you have to build up pressure for the steering to work...

I built this a few months ago. I have modified it from the one in the video by adding 2 additional arms so I can unroll all 6 wires on my fence at once. Each roller is adjustable to accommodate all the standard rolls of wire. This worked great as I was able to unroll all the wires at once and...

I scored a telescoping aluminum antenna mast on craigslist. This extends to 40 and is the key piece to my work light. Instead of building a trailer mounted light I decided to go with a 3 point tractor hookup to keep the cost down. This limits the use of this light and but will still function...

Here is a simple boom pole for a tractor. Most boom poles are all rigid mounted and do not have high lifting capabilities. This one works like a basic lever and fulcrum much like a engine hoist. This is different than the standard boom poles for tractors. The standard boom poles are rigid...

I recently purchased a 64 3020 propane. I have only put about 30 hours on it but I am planning on doing a complete fluid change this weekend so I have a good baseline of when everything was changed and to get a better understanding of where everything is. I busted a remote hydraulic line under...

Which one to buy? There are several different versions available at prices from $30-100+. There are newer versions and the original dealer shop manuals. Not sure if there is much difference (like a haynes vs chiltons manual) Basically looking for a fairly detailed repair manual for early...

I just picked up a 3020 LP (1964). This is the identical tractor that my grandpa uses today and what I learned to use nearly 30 years ago. I am in need to new rubber all the way around. I knew it was going to be $$$$ to get new tires. Currently I have 16.9-34 rears. I see where people...

Ok. I bought a ancient MF 50B Industrial backhoe off of ebay sight unseen. I did not pay much for it because I am sure that I can fix just about anything. Not 100% certain on the model # but it is a late 50's model. here is what I know about it. 3 cyc Perkins diesel engine. hydrostatic...
