I have a Lodi made clone of a Terramite TC5. The Ross steering box had the bottom of the casting blown out so the guts were exposed to air. It was likely that way when I bought it from a buddy. It still functioned and I used it for over a year before I discovered it. About six months ago I...

I stumbled on this today while looking for something else. After some debate, I decided I liked it. Near-Mint Condition -- A Stained Glass Tractor

I have an older Italian made horizontal milling machine with a right angle head attached making it effectively a vertical mill. The vertical head takes an MT2 taper. I see that all collet sets that are MT2 have a 3/8-16 inch tapped hole in the end for a drawbar. I have been looking at carbide...

I have been slowly rebuilding a Lodi 815 which is a near clone of a T5C. Rather than fight with uploading pictures I made a pdf of the work.

What is the toe setting for a T5C? Is there a rule of thumb for 2WD slow moving vehicles where you have no spec to go by?

So this garden tool forum was sitting here all empty... And now that I got your attention, I figured I post something to get it started. Last summer my 82 year old diabetic friend calls me and says "Hey, you use to have beavers. Do you still have them and if not, how did you get rid of them?"...

I am in the market for a new welder. I have MIG welded on and off for 25 years, always with wonky over-worn machines. The latest is a 1970's MIG my FIL gave me before he passed. The feed controls, amperage setting, and gun are all problematic and any welding I do now has about a 20% chance of...

Just in case someone has a similar UTV, I thought I would ask here. At the very least this post might be found by the next guy trying to do the same. I have a Bush Hog Trailhand 4400 side by side. I am replacing the CTV belt. The CVT belt cover is located between the engine and transaxle...

My snow plow is in my tractor's bucket. Last year I got into a bad habit of removing the snow from my side by side with a careful eye and gentle feather of the joystick. Until things went wrong. I twitched and busted up the plastic hood. Before that the brush guard got ripped off pulling it...

Just came in from plowing 24 inches of snow. About halfway through I looked next to me and saw this piece of angle iron laying in the driveway. It is about 13 or 14 inches long with a single hole at each end. There is no doubt that it came off my NorTrac 204. Question is where did it come...

I just bought a Terramite TLB from a friend. He gave me a slew of new hoses to replace the badly cracked originals. Some of the lengths are pretty short at 18 inches and all the hoses are NPT males at both ends. Give the difficulty in installing these shorter ones as they are captive at both...

Here is an off-topic post that I am hoping is okay. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with my play (the tractor) but has to do with my work. I am looking for guidance. My company has a contract with one of the major primes. The deliverable is for a center of gravity measurement (our core...

Hi Folks, I just bought my first riding mower after 42 years of pushing a mower around (counting being a kid). It is this one. Cub Cadet XT1 Enduro Series LT 42 in. 18 HP Kohler Hydrostatic Gas Front-Engine Riding Mower-LT42 - The Home Depot I assume my Cub is built by MTD so I posted...

When pouring readimix concrete, how clean does the water have to be? I will be pouring a slab well away from access by truck. The water I hope to use is rain water collected off a roof and stored several months in an enclosed white poly 550 gal container. The water is relatively clear but has...
