Good evening: Opinions on the parts availability situation for Bolens/Iseki? And also sources of paperwork (service manual, parts diagram) Looking at what is supposed to be a Bolens 1704, although the information I have found says that this should be a hydrostat, while the tractor itself is a...

The beast: 1978 Sears "Vari-drive" 11 hp. Modified for brush-hogging; the lower 2 inches or so of the front skirt on the deck has been cut away, and a strip of 1/4" flat bar welded along what is left to restore any lost strength/ stiffness. Old single cylinder Briggs will burn 1/2 quart...

Next year I plan to buy a new pickup, what used to be referred to as a "half ton." I would like to be able to tow a fully-loaded 7,000 lb trailer, which means the truck would need to be rated to tow about 8,000 lbs or more, since the advertised trailer towing load always assumes an empty...

DETROIT (AP) If you live where salt is used to clear the roads of snow and ice, U.S. safety regulators have a message for you: Wash the underside of your car. The message came Wednesday from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which closed a five-year investigation into rusting...

My tow vehicle is a 2002 Ford Ranger, 3.0 V6, auto, long bed. The book says it will tow about 4,000 lbs. I use it and a single axle utility trailer to haul a walk-behind brush mower, old sears garden tractor and a Mitsubishi 16 hp diesel tractor (not all at the same time). Max. load...

Yet another homemade ("shop fabricated") boom. Needed a boom for my old Mitsubishi: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/mitsubishi-satoh/316342-mt160d.html Did not want to spend $129.99 plus sales tax on a new one; saw several used booms advertised @ about $50 to $75 but either sold too...

A bit of info on how ag dealers avoid buying/trading for, used tractors with outstanding liens. Would also be applicable to the private individual purchasing a used tractor from a non-dealer. http://www.naeda.com/files/ucc-summary.pdf What is important to note is that the lien would be...

Can I use a PTO shaft labled for use with tillers, on a rotary cutter? There will be a slip clutch, the rotary cutter ("brush hog") is only a 42" cut, and the tractor is 16 hp / 13.6 PTO hp. Thanks.
