Not to change the subject but if your Dad was born 122yrs ago I'm guessing you are around 95 yrs old, so good for you.(y)

I used to cut up thin carpeting to line my work van shelving and tool boxes to eliminate that problem, works good and free.

I have one and love it. It is rated as a large compact utility tractor [LCUT] with the 430 model loader and I believe you have the stronger of the 2 loaders available. Take your time with it and let the machine due the work and don't lend it out like I have made the mistake of doing so.

I was only joking, I love dogs grew up with them and so did my kids but even with the flee and tic collars the dogs would bring them into the house. I would love to have another lab and shepherd mix some day but not now.🐶

Got rid of dog.... tics gone

Those would cost me $25 each at my transfer station to get rid of.

nope

Looks like G-Man himself.

Just googled it,will have to check it out sometime.

Stool softeners....no really:poop:

The only truck stop I know is P&H up on 91 and 302, that's the exit I take to go to camp but I have not eaten there since covid though I will gas up, but man you get a full plate and good eating.

Also with bare ground it can freeze to have access to drive a vehicle on if needed.

Are the new chains lighter than the old ones? Maybe a little more weight in the rear, just a thought.

Hopefully we'll get some nice pics of our creators creation.

I used stone like you did and added stay mat or stone dust on top to lock everything together, otherwise it was like walking on marbles. A plate compacter as deezler said works great. Looks nice.

That's what I do but I don't have a grubber, I use a choker chain with my bucket and they pop wright out. A helper would be nice to save time getting on and off the tractor.

Sort of reminds me of that movie with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas while that song is playing "Is that tough enough" when they stole a train and took it south of the border.

Thanks.

Yup that's what I have. Are you using a specific shear bolt or a low grade bolt?

That's good to hear, looking forward to using it. Thanks.

yes sir.just put stone on right of way this fall, and I'm not a Browns fan.

That view looks familiar, I think I may have your old pull behind blower.

Old post.

Picked up an old 72" v-type pull behind a couple months ago and looks like the one rbargeron had. the name plate reads "Snow Machine Industries" from South Dakota. I picked up some #2 3"x1/2" nut and bolts to use as a shear pin to replace a full pin that was being used. To the OP, do you recall...

I need to install a bleed valve also, I'm just cracking open the fittings for now. The new fittings will need to be rated for hydraulic pressures so I don't grenade them.

Electric motors must be rated for vfd duty or they will fail prematurely.

Thanks Valveman.

Just got a price from local power co. for my property in Groton Vt. $20K for 4 poles @ 1200ft. I'm on a private road that I maintain. Currently I use solar and I'm on my third generator that powers well pump and power tools. I've had enough, but 20k for power seems outrages. For anyone in the...

In order to have running water this winter at my camp in Vt. I need to dig up and replace the water line. I want to heat trace, insulate and encapsulate in 4" pvc. Now the well company I had installed the well say's I cannot bury heat tracing under ground. I'm at a loss for words. Because of...

I'm looking at a mep 802a diesel 1800 rpm water cooled 5kw reconditioned generator with 82 hrs. Any used equipment is a crap shoot. My question. is a 2cyl diesel more noisy than a 4cyl? The seller has both and the 4cyl. runs smoother. He is repairing another 5kw that I can compare it to but the...

I need to get my tractor down here from Vt. to move snow banks back. Can anyone tell me if a u-haul car transport trailer can safely haul my J/D990 with fel. I'll be towing with my 09 f-150 4x4. Truck has factory tow package but no electric brake setup. My main concern is securing it properly...

Delivered to my camp in Vt last Feb. There are 2 JD dealers up here that would not take my MF165 on trade. I found a 2004 990 with 960 hrs. on it down here in central Ma. and they said no problem. That old mf started right up afer sitting for 2 yrs. and drove right onto trailer.

Retired a few yrs. ago so I added on to my 1 rm cabin.

Recently retired,[4yrs] and loving it. My wife goes to the beach, and I go to our north woods camp:drink: to go tractor 4 wheeling. Currently have a 46 2n ford and a tired MF165. Big mistake on that one just to big for my needs, any how, Howdy Y'all!

Newbe here so be gentle:confused2:. Where do I add fluid for the power assist system on a 1971 or 72 mf165 2wd. This does have a factory loader. I can't turn it either way. I have adjusted the actuator before so it will be the same left and right in the past. Leaks everywhere and they need to be...
