Since there is replaceable pin which I have on hand (see pic 3548) I would think not. But... The tube the pin slides thru is welded to the seat mounting plate - if the pin was used for alignment - maybe over penetration on the weld? I really want an OA rig. There is one pin (see pic 3548), the...

Tonight was a fail, again. I heated the tubing thru several heat/cool cycles. Tried the shop press again and bent 2 grade 8 bolts I was using as a press pin. Then used a punch and 3 lb hammer - nothing but disappointment and sore thumb, I missed on one swing. Tomorrow I will cut out the center...

I am replacing the seat on my Ford 1920 tractor and need to remove the hinge pin that lets the seat flip forward. I can not get it out. I cut the pin in two places (far left and right) to get the seat mounting plate out of the way - the part of the pin in the center that is still attached to the...

I am thinking of getting a SSQA receiver mount (2”) for my 40HP LS 4WD tractor to move trailers around the property. All trailers will be moved empty. The two larger trailers are a 16’ stock trailer and a 14’ 14k dump trailer. My FEL is already SSQA capable - I have several attachments already...

Several folks have mentioned always having a shovel. Think i will buy myself a new shovel and put the old one in the truck tool box.

I purchased the Delco, 14’ x 83”, 14K. Before I haul my first load I have a couple hitch / leveling questions. My normal trailer towing has been a small 10” light duty trailer or a 16” stock trailer with a couple cows/steers in it - way less than what this dump can tote. Should the front of...

Nothing like sparks to get the heart racing! I do not have a standard HiVis vest, but till I get one i'll throw my hunter orange vest in there!

Thank you! I think I just found another use :)

One of my reasons for buying is I need gravel and dirt in places a dump truck can not get to, but my truck or tractor can. My last load of gravel I had delivered was $320 - $180 of that was delivery. That said, if I need to gravel the entire driveway, I'm having a dump truck bring that in

Yep I have a FEL and a 3 point trailer hitch

How to you like the front mount?

It has the tarp kit. One of my reasons for buying is I need gravel and dirt in places a dump truck can not get to, but my truck or tractor can. Wow, no charge for delivery? My last load of gravel I had delivered was $320 - $180 of that was delivery. That said, if I need to gravel the entire...

Good catch. I did not have a 2-5/16 ball so I picked one up at our local farm store. What I did not think about was the base of the ball was bigger, so it would not set properly, so in the pic the ball is tilted. Between me, the salesman and shop supervisor we decide i was good to get it home...

Thank you! Good to know, better less than to much!

I was torn between the 12 and 14' in the beginning also. The questions I asked in October 2021 and the answers I got me realize - nobody ever wished for a smaller trailer. I went with the 14", the cost difference was less that 1k, and for a 10k purchase i decided to go with the 14'

I watched a video and the front end loader had a scale built into it! Is that the norm? The quarry I will be using is small... I will ask them tomorrow. Thank you!

I started my dump trailer research in 2020 and I posted here in October 2021 and got a LOT of great information, but then prices started to go up and I put off the purchase. Prices have finally dropped and I bought the dump trailer last week. I purchased the Delco, 14’ x 83”, 14K. I bought this...

I had this happen in clay... I had a huge pipe wrench and a cheater and could not turn the blasted thing. I had to get my old manual post hole digger and dig it out. It started out as a post hole, ended up looking like bathtub :)

Yes I do. A straight hole gives me more room to put the post in the exact spot I want. This 100%

My first tractor did not have one and if I was doing "delicate" work I spent WAY to much time getting on and off the tractor to make sure I would not screw up what I was trying to fix. The two tractors I have now both have one - serious time saver!!

I was hoping the "3 way" also opened like a truck tailgate.

The trailer I am currently looking at (Doolittle 14') has 2 door versions "barn door" and "3 Way Spreader Gate" - The spreader gate seems to add about $1300 to the trailer price - The $1300 also adds "rub bars" not sure what that is yet :)

Excellent video! I think most of what I have been looking at online are the scissor lifts, the single ram would be hard to miss.

That is a nice price! Combined weight of 26,001 seems to be the magic number for CDL in Missouri, HazMat and 16 or more people excluded. Missouri also has exclusions for weight and oversized for farmers hauling grain, feed and equipment... I did not look them up

Reading the MODOT CDL manual on weights and lengths made my head hurt. My Certificate of Origin for my F250 says my GVWR is 10K, the trailer i advertised an 14K. Class A and B were 26,001 and over, class C was less than 26,001 hauling hazmat of 16 or more people. I think I am good, i hope :) I...

I'm in Missouri and I just checked DORs website and annual registration looks to be about $15 a year, no size or weight was mentioned - I did not search for commercial. No inspections that I know of. $52 will get me a permanent license plate and registration So do the breakaway brakes need a...

Great point: I will be building a pad for a new addition to my pig pen area soon I hope - no way a dump truck could get there, but a dump trailer and my tractor I can.

I can agree with that. I have a wood shop and know I have spent twice the amount building something - i just like to build....

Wow! Thank you for the 20+ replies! A lot to think about!

Looking at the other post too, think I'll rule out the 10K. Thank you, had not thought of the lead time between hauls. I hate shovels.. My neighbor can help with a breaker or relay, he's the electrical dude. I agree about the big box, I love ny long bed truck, most things I cal drop and go...

Dump Trailer – Talk me out of it, or not… I think need a bigger trailer. I have 2 trailers, a 16’ stock trailer and a 10’ x 5’ wide light duty trailer single axle. What I do with what I currently have: Buy mulch in bulk, usually takes at 2 to 3 trips using the trailer / truck Buy 16’ cattle...

archi: Yes it did, been almost six years not and still running great, its my dedicated brush hog machine. Sorry, but I do not remember the wrench/socket size. About splitting the tractor: I am not a mechanic, just not afraid to take something apart :) I watched videos and read forums about...

I have used a Bush Hog PHD 2101 with a 12" auger for the past 15 years for setting wooden fence corner post and H braces. It has done well if I keep the cutting edges sharp / replaced as well as the cutting tip. I have switched from 8"+ wooden post to 3-1/2 metal post, so I bought a 9" auger...

And it's done (part 2) Spent a few evenings priming and painting, flip the table, rinse and repeat I got really sick of flipping that table! After the painting I put the casters and floors locks back on. Then added the electric wiring - Done! Of course my shop supervisor was there every step...

And it's done (part 1) Since I have about 11 Pics I will split this between two posts. Weekend before last I finished up the basic construction of the table. I added clamp holders to both ends and the expanded metal bottom shelf. Also welded a piece of angle iron on each corner near the top as...

Ford850: I will round those corners. I did shed a tear, but I cut the vise mount apart :) After taking it apart I ground off the tacks and beveled the edges. My son and I welded it up this last weekend - he more than I! Tonight I will clean it up and give it a coat of primer. Also on tonight's...

Worked on the vise mount for the receiver tube this last weekend. None of it is "welded" yet, just tacked together to see if I like the height and positioning away from the table. And of course I was supervised by Bella the shop dog... Anyone see anything that jumps out at them about the design...

The engine service light came on at the end of a regen last Sunday, the "Error diagnosis code display" on the dash reads "AB09". The manual states that it is: ECU(Barometric pressure sensor) and that "Normal sensor signal level over 0.25V. I could not find out any info using Google. My local...

It rolls, and it rolls easy!! My son came over on Saturday and did a lot of welding. My neighbor helped me flip it over and install casters late that afternoon. I've already gotten it dirty, had to work on a couple PTO shafts on Sunday. We did a bunch of practice on the 1/2 nuts before we...

Last night I got the last of the receiver tube cutting done - cut the angle on the front of the tube to make inserting heavy things easier. Played with the layout of the tube, think what you see is final locations. About ready to prep them for welding :) Today I picked up the flexible metal...

I could not find the fireball tool discount code... Last night we got the caster plates (5 x 5 x 3/8") welded on the bottom of the table. Then I cleaned up the ends of the receiver tubes for welding in the next couple days. Next on the to do list: (1) Cut the end of the receiver tube to 45* to...

I admit it, I have an addiction... tools. I bought one of the fireball tool mini squares. Made clamping up corners easy. The more weight I added to the table, the more the saw horses would sway when you bumped it the hoist is my safety net. More pics tonight of this weekends work.

This group of pics shows the frame coming together. That really pretty weld you see, yep itç—´ my sons. I started mocking up where I want the received hitches. I think I have decided on what you see there - the other end of the bench the "end" receiver will be diagonal to the one in the pic...

After a bunch of cutting pieces to length we had a couple weeks of life getting in the way. Weekend before last we started welding. I am going to break this up into 3 post so each post is not so pic heavy. Disclaimer: any welds you see that look good belong to my son, mine not so much, but I am...

I started cutting pieces for the frame this weekend. I cut the eight pieces I need to make the ends (short side) of the bench and the four long pieces that form the long sides. Cleaned up the ends where the abrasive saw cut them. I have the top plate on a couple saw horses with a couple 2" cross...

I sure am glad it does not exist. :) and the "are you human" stuff is still there.

I have a 20 x 32 shop in my pole barn and I need a movable work / welding table. It will do all my farm / mechanical projects: a place to rebuild a carburetor, a place to stack the clutch parts for my tractor, a place to weld up a dolly for my grapple, a place to have a beverage... I have a read...

Sorry guys, should have posted this pic with my initial post...

Grapple is on the way. Below is what I think I need to do. If what I say does not sound right, please let me know. This is the first time I have tinkered with hydraulic hoses except to have direct replacements made. Opinions are always welcome! If it matters, the grapple is the EA, 60" double...

My LS XR4040 has the telescoping style of 3 point stabilizers. They do not use what I call a normal lynch pin. In the pic below the pin on the right are the ones that came with the LS, notice that it is now sprung. The local dealer has them for about $11 each. Our local farm stores, MFA and...

I now have hooks and a clevis mounting plate welded and painted! Thanks for the help!

After reading a bunch of threads on bucket hooks and clevis mount - I am almost ready to weld. The bucket is on an LS XR4040 - what do you think of the placement? I have each chain hook (5/16) directly in line with the loader arm and the clevis mount in the center. I only plan on using the...

My LS XR4040 has two levers for the rear remotes right below the FEL joystick, one is green and the other is blue. If I push the green one forward (or pull back), when I release it snaps back to the center position. The blue one stays where I put it. If I want the blue lever in the center...

After drooling over the grapple threads for a while, it is time to buy. I will tell you what projects I have to do and what I think I need. Please tell me how wrong I am ☺ I have recently purchased a new LS XR4040 with a LL4102 FEL, its lift capacity is 2500lbs - but I am sure real world...

My new LS XR4040 was delivered a couple weeks ago. It handles the 4x5 round bales with ease, not at all unstable. I had off loaded 20 of the 24 I had delivered before I realized I was still in 2 wheel drive. The LS has 10 more horsepower and over 1000lbs more that my Ford 1920 - makes a huge...

The two washers (one for each stud) are between the starter and the mounting plate. I put the washers on to act as a shim. I must have been asleep last night, no need for me to check the holes, the starter is mounted with studs, not bolts. The threads go all the way to the hole, plenty of room...

Some jobs never end! Split my tractor and replaced clutch. Got it back together, cranked it and the starter (that was working perfectly before tractor split) gear seems to get hung in the flywheel gear. There were no shims when I took the starter off. I put a washer over each starter stud and...

I am getting ready to put my tractor back together this weekend. Pilot bearing has been replaced, it is a ball bearing type, not brass. Do I grease the tip of the shaft where it inserts into the pilot bearing? What about the splines there the shaft pass thru the disc?

Last weekend I pulled the top cover off the transmission to see if I could see any obvious problems, I did not. Pics below. What I did find out was that the u-joints on the shift linkages were all but frozen up. I have had them soaking in the parts washer all week. Tonight I will soak them in...

I have to admit I was a bit disappointed in what I did not find. I was hoping to split it apart and go WOW that is bad, but I did not get to that, then again this is a first for me.:laughing: The pilot bearing is shot, very rough when you spin it. There is a pic of the release bearing carrier...

I have a 1994 Ford 1920 FWD SSS, which suddenly stopped going into gear. By suddenly I mean it worked one evening but not the next. It has 2200 hours. I did a forum search and did not find anything. The stuck clutch problem did not seem to apply although I may be wrong about that! I cannot...

Long time reader and lurker, first time poster. I have a leaky Bush Hog Rotary Cutter - Squealer Series SQ720 - I do not have the clutch version. I have the two oil seals I need, but I am not sure how to remove the PTO shaft, have never done this before. There is a pin that sticks out 1/2" on...
