Yeah, it's been a while since I posted. Funny how life gets in the way, huh? I recently acquired a 1992 model Deere 970 4X4 that had a misfire on #3 cylinder. The engine is a Yanmar 4TN82. Of course I hoped it was just a blown head gasket since I knew the tractor had been run hot. Alas, it was...

I picked up an Oliver Superior grain drill today. I can't find a serial number plate on it anywhere. I'm confused as to whether it's a model 38 or a model 64. I've found pictures of this drill saying both. Can anyone help me identify it from the picture or tell me where to find the serial...

I'm looking at a '94 5200 2WD with 1860 hours on it. Paint looks a little rough from being out in weather but it seems like a sound tractor. Comes with a Ganon rollover box blade. They're asking $8500 What are 5200's bringing in your area? Thanks, Mark

I'm still deep in my search for a good used Ford 3910. I've run across several with the following model number: CA414D I've been able to break this down to: CA4=3910 1=Diesel 4=Independent PTO D=?? The D transmission code has me a bit confused. I know that C is an 8f 2r transmission but...

Hey guys! Been a while since I was around but I need some advice and/or experiences. I've found a sweet deal on a 1987 Ford 3910. The tractor looks great, runs great and everything works as it should. There are no leaks at all. The only hesitation I have is this tractor has a 6 speed...

Afternoon fellas! Been a while since I posted, but at least I've been busy and getting things checked off my "to do" list!! My question is: Will a Bernard 300 amp gun that fits a Miller Pipeworx machine fit my MM 200? I need a new gun and I found this 15 Bernard for a reasonable price, but I'm...

I thought it was time I give something back for all the information I've gleaned from this forum! :) I recently had electrical problems with my 1720. The alternator went bad. The battery went bad. AND the key switch went bad, all in the space of a couple months. I replaced the battery, found...

And if eating me out of house and home in the garden wasn't enough, then they have to go and do something stupid like jump out in front of my truck..... :mad: :mur:

Thanks to all the responses on my "worm" post I've just about eliminated that problem. Better metal prep, closer attention to air movement around the weld and a few adjustments to the MM200 have given some nice looking welds. But.... I happened to notice the other day when I was welding with...

I found a 6ft Caroni RFM at the junkyard the other day. I thought it was in great shape, but after using it for a few hours Friday, I saw that it's going to need some "tweaking" :D I think the reason they probably scrapped the thing is because the center blade will NOT stay tight on the...

I'm not a novice welder. I'm 50 years old and have welded most of my adult life, extensively at times, occasionally at other times. I've welded with stick, mig and o/a. But I've run up against something recently that's just whupping my butt. I recently acquired a Millermatic 200 mig welder...

Weekend before last, I finally got around to spraying some paint on the road grader I built. It wound up looking pretty good actually. It's funny how the camera angle changes the color in the last picture though. Mark

Made a trip to the scrap yard I normally frequent and found a 6ft Caroni finish mower. One spindle was removed but was still with the mower and I can't see any reason for the spindle to have been taken off in the first place. Bearings seem to be fine, the mower is complete including safety...

I've been looking for an old iron bandsaw to use around the shop for some time now. After months of not seeing anything within driving distance, suddenly I've found 2. I've not actually laid eyes on either one, but I have seen pictures of both. One is a Kysor Johnson model J in really good...

I have a 1300 Ford with a broken crank. I just got off the phone with 2 different dealers and they both tell me the crankshaft is no longer available and there are none listed on the dealer network. I've tried Wenger's, Weaver's, All State Parts with no luck. Does anyone have any other...

I need some help please. I have a JD 500C backhoe that needs an engine. This engine was also used in 3010, 3020 tractors, 9600, 9610 combines among other machines. If anyone knows where I can pick up a good used or rebuildable engine please let me know.

We just acquired through a merger, a Millermatic 200 welder. I haven't welded much with it, but it seems to weld and operate just fine with the little I have done. My boss mentioned that what we really need is a smaller, more portable welder than the MM 200. So of course the gears in my mind...

I'm going to add a rear remote valve to my 1720. I really need this option since the tri-deck mower I pull has hydraulic cylnders to lift it for transport. My question is, does the remote valve that comes in the standard DIA kit have a 'float' position? My mower has three decks and when...

I have a chance to buy a Kubota M4050 from my friend who's in the scrap business. They've tried to start this tractor with no success. They say it has very low compression. There's not a salvagable piece of sheet metal on it, everything is bent and/or has rust rot. Tires are no good at all...

Can anyone help identify the sickle mower below? I think it's an older New Holland 451 but I don't know enough about those to be certain. This is the only pic I have of it for now. Since my fiasco with the JD350 and the expense of repairing it, I've been looking at other used mowers. This one...

Last summer I bought a used JD 350 sickle mower for mowing around the pond banks. I got it home, made some adjustments and did a lot of head scratching on how to hook it up correctly to my 1720 Ford. It did a fantastic job mowing the 3 times I mowed last year, although I thought the wobble...

Well, I've finally collected almost enough material to build the Dura Grader that I've wanted for a long time now. :cool2: Question #1 : Where can I get a couple of reasonably priced cutting edges? I know some of our sponsors here must sell them, but I can't find anything yet. Question #2 ...

About this time last year the Case dealer where my SIL worked closed. They were selling off equipment, parts, attachments and supplies for ridiculously low prices. Among the used/junk equipment they were selling sat this lonely old Case 1845 skid steer. The decals claimed it was an 1845B but...

I can't believe it's been 10 years since I built my first "tree getter" and posted a pic of it here. Well that little attachment worked so well that when I got my Case 1845 skid steer I decided to build a bigger, better, faster, stronger "tree getter" to use on the Case. Here's what I came up...

Yeah..... I started on my version of the grapple rake last weekend. Just a few pics to show a little progress. I'm sure things will become more clear as I progress. That's my 3-1/2yo grandson in the middle two pics. That boy had rather "go to work" with PaPa than eat when he's hungry...

Can someone help me out here, please? I have a project in mind that's going to update some features on my old 1720. What I need to know is the model history of the Ford/NH compacts. There was the XX20 then the TCXX then the TCXXDA what came next? Was there anything between the TCXXDA and the...

Hi guys! The draft control on my 1720 has stopped working. Have any of you other Ford CUT owners had this problem? I use this little tractor for so many things that I hadn't really noticed the draft control not working until I hooked up to a bottom plow revently. When I noticed the draft...

I need some input guys! I was at the local <font color=red>Case/IH</font color=red> <font color=orange> Kubota</font color=orange> dealer today just looking around to see what kind of "steals" I could come across. Well, as most of you know I'm clearing a lot of oak saplings around my place...

I realized something as I was walking to the house after getting off my 1720 Ford at 10 til 7 this evening. Since I have found this board and all the great ideas and useful attatchments I have burned 13 gallons of gas in my Miller Bobcat 225G welder. Anyone with a portable welder knows that's...

Harv.... I promised some pics if I came up with anything that worked for a rake on my FEL. Well.... here's what I made and so far it works pretty darn well. I was hoping to use the same scarifiers that came with my Tufline box blade but I found the 90 degree shank to tooth angle was too much...

Just thought I would show you northern guys what it's like down here in Ga. A pic of the taters in my garden after the 2 inches of rain last weekend.

Is it just me or do any of you guys think there is such a thing as a grease worm. All I know is it seems like something gets into my grease gun and devours the grease. I swear sometimes I can put in a fresh tube of grease, use a half dozen shots and the next time I want to use the gun, it's...

Oh.... one more thing! Does anyone know where I might find a root rake that will fit on my FEL in place of the bucket? I'm looking for something like the one in the attatchment but small enough to fit 1720 and the 7108 FEL.

Hi! I'm a newcomer to the board here so forgive me if I screw up the first few times I post. *LOL* I recently bought a used 1720 4WD. The sheet metal is a bit rough, but it came with a 7108QT FEL and for the price I couldn't let it slip past me. ANY way... back to my question. The 4WD...
