Usually between 2 and 4.

And just why do you think the older guy is there? The old men are burned out & are TEACHING the kids.

Just how does the government make parents taking care of kids needs a crime?

I wonder what those numbers would be if automatic transitions were extra cost options like they used to be?

Oh... It worked on the 10 x 10 & 11 of the 12 sections of the 10 x 20. Ripped out the 1 section of a 3 year old tarp. Cheap Harbor Freight tarp.

Tried that today & ripped the tarp.... Spare in the barn, replace in the spring.

Just think how much cheaper an education would be if we didn't pay coaches $50M for short term contracts.

And they still don't teach "a general high regard for America ".

Loan forgiveness is just ***** buying votes. He should send ME $50k because I didn't take out a loan I wouldn't pay back.

Too bad that isn't taught in our schools here.

I don't know... My 76 year old Ford 2N lived outside most if not all of its life & I finally sold it for more then I paid for it. I only sold it because Mama said I couldn't keep 3 tractors & it was the oldest.

You're right. Common sense says it CAN'T be done , at least not safely. And yet...... the picture proves it was. Oh... thats right, it wasn't done safely. But nothing damaged & no one hurt or even killed. I just don't understand.

Where did you get that string of letters? The serial number for the TRACTOR is : L Series: On left-hand side of front axle or under the seat.

We still haven't heard back from the OP what year the serial number of the TRACTOR indicated it was.

The ENGINE serial number has NOTHING to do with the date of manufacture of the tractor. Check the TRACTOR serial number to get the date of manufacture.

Do you people even read his posts? He plainly stated this generator is P.T.O. powered & he wants it to REMAIN hooked up to the tractor PTO. How many of you have PTO access from the front of your tractors or the FEL's ????

The serial number for the TRACTOR is : L Series: On left-hand side of front axle or under the seat. Read that and report back with the year THAT represents.

Sounds like you came up with a good workable solution. Others that sounded good were , forks on the 3pt pick up gen. trailer all hooked up or mount gen on a 3 pt platform rather then the trailer. Enjoy your power when others are out.

It will ride over anything at all firm. But does an acceptable job on my private road & neighbors driveways. Works as good or better then pipes I tried when they worked. Once the ground is truly frozen, I revert back to plow shoes. Have a full with angle on the york rake now and use it for...

Ok....

I tried the pipe thing and found that PVC doesn't work for me. Light gage pipe is just as bad. Ended up taking the cutting edge off my plow & replacing it with angle iron. Bolted through the holes for the cutting edge. Works like a charm. Length of angle iron on the tines of the york rake...

Very few things over a public highway are 10' or less clearance. I somehow find it hard to believe that guy was headed to the Mickie D's drive through.

In that soft loose sand? Those trucks are built pretty solid.

The home owner wood splitters I see aren't rated for highway use. Hitch is designed to be pulled by a lawn tractor.

What states would that be?

The tractor will handle the job just fine. No damage or long term problems. Worry about being struck by lightning out in that open field more then the tractor.

Maybe the airlines need to come back to the REAL world. How many adults do you know that are 175# or less?

Hummmm.... You sound normal to me.

I can see right now, the ONLY SAFE way to brush hog a field is hire it out while YOU are in the next county.

Thank You. Looks like the free one I found but better pictures. Do you happen to have a manual for your loader?

Well... I made a leg. Found out Mahindra support isn't very good. Dealer doesn't have any info on the loader or mid mount mower. Found an owners manual on line for the tractor & it is poor to say the least. Anyone with manuals, I sure could use the part numbers.

Just acquired a 2018 1526 with loader & Mid Mount Mower. No manuals or paperwork on any of it. Leg for loader is missing, need measurements so I can make one. ANY info on the 72" mower would help.

It is a proven fact that almost 100% of the people that died in the last 50 years either smoked or were exposed to second hand smoke at some point in their lives. Also they all drank water. Can't tell which contributed to their death.

I'm thinking it's more likely a result of "cookies" on your computer and not anything to do with TBN. Never seen anything from "TEMU" & had to google it to find out what you were talking about.

But in some states it is against the law to quote a law without providing a site to it.

So it should be easy for you to give us a lin k to such a law. Please do.

That is probably why I survived. Thank You.

13 HRS!!!!!! OMG... Don't we have laws against that??? You're going to KILL everybody else on the highways.

You also understand that tractors are hazardous to your health right? Everybody that has come in contact with a tractor or anyone that has is either dead or dyeing. Think about it.....

Yup... I've only plowed once this season also. Only really did that to see how the new plow set up was going to work. Still have the plow on one truck & one tractor. Tire chains still ion other truck & tractor. March snow storms aren't unusual here in Michigan.

5' doesn't solve all problems....

Thank you, I thought it was MY fault for getting plows on the Suburban & both tractors. The F250 & Silverado are set up & ready if something happens to the Suburban. Along with getting the barn full of firewood.

And recovery methods change as vehicles evolve. Some newer ones are just down right fragile.

Well.... If he had his seatbelt on & buckled, he wouldn't have been able to get run over.

I even ride around on my tractor OUTSIDE & never have been hit by lightning. Hard to believe I'm not Irish.

Guess I'm just lucky. 76 years & I have NO IDEA how many thousands of hours on a tractor & I have never once even tried one on. Cut the roll bar off the one I have now too & pitched the guard from the PTO. 75 year old 2N never had any of that stuff & it hasn't killed anyone in all these working...

Also a Toranado with a bigger travel trailer. The ad was for the weight distributing hitch, not the car.

Yes

Version I heard was he got off to help someone & the snowcat started to roll. He got run over trying to get back in to stop it.

Another name for that is #2 diesel. Put it in your tractor & BURN it.

I'd use the fuel.

Yup.. Pushing it up to the house. Much easier to set it where it needs to be to feed the wood stove.

75 year old iron still earning its keep.

My private dirt road off a gravel road means my wifes back up camera is ALWAYS so dirty it's useless.

For me, the first snow usually falls before the ground is frozen and the shoes just dig trenches while the blade pushes rocks.

And how old is too old for a tractor tire? Are my 30+ year old tires too old? Do I risk death if I still run them this winter plowing snow?

And yet, MOST of them make it home just fine.

As the last house on my private road, I have been clearing it since I moved in 30+ years ago. We now have two other homes served from the road & I get their driveways as I'm doing the road. Both residents of the last house built (2 different owners) have offered to pay but were refused. None of...

Then it is the counties fault for not properly maintaining the road. If they had, I wouldn't have been there in the first place. If I did it wrong before they got to it, they should have fixed it.

Hummm... 76 & chains on the front of the Ford 1510. (Just a hair bigger then riding lawn mower tires) Chains on the rear of the 2N. Left them on from last year. Chains on front & rear of the F250 plow truck. THAT was a pain...

And remember to air up when you attach weight for ballest or a plow or whatever. Then air down again when you pick something up with the FEL. Correct air pressure is DIRECTLY linked to the weight supported on THAT tire.

I agree.

attach a chain/cable from as high as you can reach from an extension ladder & pull it.

If you know about the Litheli battery, you also know it doesn't fit.

I also have one that is/was a go to saw BUT they quit selling the Lynxx saw & you can no longer get a battery for it. Mine no longer holds a charge for more then 15~20 min and will soon be USELESS.

Yup... that could happen depending on where & how you chain it. I was thinking of a heavier strap then you seem to be. They hold heavy equipment on semi's and I was just using it to close the split so it could be chained tighter. Being aware of what COULD happen makes you think harder about...

If I were going to try that, I think I would first put some chain around it to prevent it from coming apart more. Maybe a ratchet strap to draw it back together some. Then, working alone, I would put some tension on it going the way I want it to go with my winch. Start cutting below everything a...

In a few years you'll find the 28 wasn't enough.

Angle of attack may make a difference. Keep the plow frame as level as possible.

At the beginning of the season, before the ground is frozen, I pull the cutting edge off & put the angle iron on using the same holes & bolts. Once it freezes, back to bare cutting edge.

The flat bottom of the angle iron prevents the blade from digging in and seems to do better at moving the snow. BTW... not an original idea, I got it from here years ago.

I tried pipe & found that a 3x3 piece of angle iron bolts to the plow cutting edge or in place of the cutting edge & works BETTER then pipe. I can plow my 1/4 mile gravel drive & even paths over my pasture with NO damage . Used bed frame rails on the smaller atv plow and it worked too. 731716

Looks very close, a few improvements in the last 10 years. Couple things I don't like as well. My point is a bigger machine for about the same money. I have used those smaller machines & literally gave mine away because I thought it was useless.

Yes it does. But I don't think that is a Woodmaxx, but a Chinese clone.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/284957417788?hash=item4258c9213c:g:TIUAAOSwIrpiAZvP&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoJvf3J54YqvcDRcYu%2Bcy7ocL62gQXUyAlW%2F0v7agjgatr64mUsLGGPXaW8NAFGlEZfmMZ3zPiTEV0r9e4p3aa317KzYyn3kvjze5hkWGgjUxEEWbgZabihZtjuJzFeAFZsLnxSVXOlDEXEg3zUCqdD0g7M8RKnx2Qs3VdBShtmrAantYgEGGU6XLyJCrwAp2avI...

I figure if I can pick it up with one hand from the end, it's the right size. I can't pick it up.... it gets split again. (With some exceptions)

And how much does a NEW Saturn cost today?

My guess is he has done that kind of thing many times before & is probably a better driver then most here.

I'm all for renewable energy sources. Anyone know the renewal time for lithium? How much shorter then fossil fuels?

Have you tried bush hogging with the belly mower still attached but not engaged? Maybe mow the field 3 times a year rather then two.

And how long has Dad been doing that? How many times has he been killed? Safety starts & ends in your HEAD, no amount of guards will save you from STUPID.

I know of hundreds of farmers that ran non guarded equipment for years without a single accident. I could also find people struck by lighting just being out in a field.

Just keep in mind, all the guards anybody can think of will not save you from doing something stupid. Owning a tractor can KILL you. Add a brush hog & you have almost certain death to someone. I KNOW this because I have access to the internet.

Hummm... Works for me. ?

Have you considered ladders & ladder jacks? Amazon.com : ladder jacks

Post your address & I'll bring the ones I trap over to your property.

Things like this is why "global warming" didn't work & we had to switch to "climate change". Now... kill all the animals & eat your vegies.

You will also receive replies that have NOTHING to do with your location and others that have nothing to do with your question. In most cases.

Pretty much if an N runs, it's good to go. Remember, nice shinny paint doesn't make it work harder. Front end loaders are not recommended for them and grease makes the steering easy. EVERY part for them is STILL available and there is no end to the help you can/will get on line. As you can...

You have the right idea. Common sense is the key. N series tractors have been doing just what you say you want to do for 80+ years and will be still doing it after you are gone. Just the number of them still in operation should tell you something. Stumps & roots will be a challenge but doable...

What makes you think you deserve any response?

The Litheli batteries look the same but the connections are reversed. + - switched.

Keep in mind, I bought the Lynxx chainsaw and they have dropped it. Now I can't even buy another battery for it. NOTHING else fits it. After the 4th charge today, it made 2 cuts before it quit on me. Don't expect it to last much longer.

What "springs" do you have on your tractor to get sprung weight? Mine is 100% unsprung.

want some?

If people are passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane.

If it was going to freeze, it would have done it last winter. I wouldn't worry about it now. Maybe he should worry about snakes building nests in the air cleaner or contaminated air in the tires.

Or... it's got a hole in it.

How many of these "141,000 registered members" have been logged in during the time this post has been up? How many in the last YEAR?

Thinking back, I can't even remember how many vehicles I have had that I don't even know if they HAD a working horn.

Makes me wonder how many cases of "Road Rage" you have caused?

Lower the box to where you CAN reach it & then bang on it. Lift & dump.

I run a 5' behind both my fords, a 1510 & 2N. You'll be fine with the 5'er.

We have one that the wife pulls behind her riding mower for leaf clean up in the fall. Works good for what we want. She makes a pass & fills it up. Dumps it by me & I rake it further back into the woods.

That's awfully harsh don't you think? Maybe 3 weeks on the donuts & 3 days on the coffee.

Why not build solar farms over the ocean under wind farms?

Those that agree with me of course.

I find that most peoples idea of "common sense" is different then mine.

Looks like the answer to me. It worked on your old tractor just fine, take the ROPS off & store it until you sell the JD.

Really simple.... Have her send it to you & after 5 days if you like it, you will send her the money for it. Otherwise she can have it shipped back to wherever she wants at her expense.

So... two years later you ask if there is air in the tires & expect a reply? That seems to happen on most forums a lot.

Mine is also for a mower deck but it sure looks like it fits. Other pto clutches by this manufacturer are listed as 1/2" / 5/8" so I am hoping this is the same pulley. We'll see this weekend maybe.

Clutch got here & belt fits fine. Might have it on this weekend. Right now, everything looks good.

Email would be good... I have 5 Email accounts now & more are really easy to get.

Thats not what I wanted to hear. Now when the new clutch gets here I'm going to have to see if I can exchange it. Thanks for the info before I make the new part un-returnable.

Nothing that I can see. Same old belt, new clutch & pulley. If that happens, I guess I'll have nothing to worry about.

What happens when you put a 5/8" belt on/in a 1/2" pulley? Electric PTO clutch running a Mid Mount Mower.

Being an old fart, I grew up with the father of these wonderful things. They used to be standard equipment in cars & trucks. Just not built quite as good or safe. Still have one from the early 50's in the barn that gets used from time to time. Kids today & there fears still surprise me.

Google home heating oil. It's the same thing.

I have the smaller metric 200mm wrench.

Oh... I think we ALL did.

Doesn't the engine turn the blade by rotating a drive wheel? Doesn't it cut by rotary action? When you say "rotary cutter", many people don't know which type of machine you are talking about. Most understand what type a brush hog is.

I would have thought your sawmill was your favorite "rotary cutter".

Don't all of those also apply to my finish mower? Well.... All except Brush Hog, everybody knows what those are.

You mean like "Band-Aid", "Kleenex", & many other brand names that are used by millions of people EVERY DAY? I can't think of a better compliment for a brand. I'm sure Bush hog doesn't mind.

You are so right... Just think a short time ago (in the history of the world) this land we are standing on now was covered in glaciers. And just a few years ago we had scientific proof we were headed into another ice age. And it's ALL caused by humans but don't worry, humans can control climate...

If you already have a 5' the 6' won't make enough difference to notice. At $500, that is a good deal using my 20 year old 5'er as a judge.

Yup... And the higher gas prices & all of inflation is because Putin invaded Ukraine. Just like ***** said.

So.... feds pass clean water regs. States enforce them. Feds can't change them because the states won't let the feds make the rules? But the feds made the rules in the first place so it's the states fault?? I think I'm cornfuzed.........

I keep hearing that their oil companies have 9000 leases they are not drilling on. I also hear the term "permits" and I assume once leases are granted you don't need any more "permits" so..... why aren't the companies drilling? Could it be... permits held up by GOVERNMENT is the hold up? Could...

Have always had to ask for military discount at both stores. Both require some sort of I.D. Last time at HD I was told I had to register and get something on my cellphone because they would no longer accept Mil. I.D. or whatever. Lowes accepts Mil. I.D., my phone number or my "My Lowes card".

Good catch. The rear axle is locked up from the time it comes in the frame until the end.

And out of those ten crews, you NEVER had a down saw all because you used $25/Gal fuel.

So..... because you use $25/Gal premix fuel you have NEVER had a saw go down in the field? What makes you think if you mix fuel yourself according to the directions you will have a failure? Why is it that tens of thousands of saws using hand mixed fuel run just fine EVERYDAY?

Well.... when it says what you want others to go by.

$$$$$

And its been hit before....many times.

I found angle iron works better for me & is easier to attach. I can plow paths across my lawn without tearing up anything. Leaves the gravel in my drive.

Not that I notice. It lives outside and seems to need more care & adjustments than it used to but, it still takes care of the leftovers from firewood & pasture trimming.

Been running my cheap ol' Chinese Jinma 8" chipper for 10 years now and will again as soon as the weather warms up.

4x4 with lockers doesn't hold a candle to FULL TRACKS. If you are going to get serious, then get serious.

Congratulations Got 6 & just heard #7 on the way' It NEVER gets old.

Post #6 is about the idiot that posted post #6.

Just think.... most of the people that bought those new are dead now.

I like that idea. Add a couple floor flanges to it & you have a good real. Put a smaller pipe through it to unwind for next project.

PTO must be engaged. Clutch must be engaged. For the 3 point to work.

Including price.

The mixer works as advertised. Small batches makes for slow work. Use it to save money, not make money.

In my mind you don't get enough snow to warrant a blower. I do around a mile of private road & drive, all gravel. The most heard complaint about plowing gravel is getting it into the grass. I tried plow shoes, they just dug into the dirt as the ground isn't usually frozen the first couple and...

More RPM's will speed it up. I usually lift it then go to where I am going to use it and drop it AT SPEED and work it. Not as easy to use as a 70 year newer unit but VASTLY better then horse drawn as was the norm of the day. My 2N gets used almost as much as my newer (1986) tractor. Just takes...

Normal & legal. Gotta get them back to CA & NY somehow.

Pushing the clutch in disengages the PTO/3PT.

The PTO on a 2N MUST be engaged to operate the 3 point arms. The clutch MUST be engaged for the PTO/3PT to work. When "in gear", you may raise the 3pt ONLY while in motion.

I found that 2 link ladder chains for a garden tractor (MUCH cheaper) work just fine for me on the front. I have a half mile private road, 1/4 mile drive & 2 neighbors drives I do with hills. Real tractor 4 link chains on the back made the ride too ruff and were taken off that same day. Don't...

What point?

I keep hearing how great turf tires are in snow but mine are useless. Two link ladder chains on the front of my Ford 1510 & I am good to go. What am I doing wrong?

A little late but..... To some of us, 4" is questionable to plow or not. The rain will beat that 4" down to 2" with a crust. Again questionable whether to plow or not. In your case with the incline, I would plow AFTER the weather stops. Plow blade angled. Take as little or as much as you can...

I can't comment, it would be political.

I've seen floorboards rusted through under carpet.

Ever look under the carpet?

Ok... missread the post. Thought the floorpan was for the 62 Oliver. Still don't see anything unserviceable about that floorpan.

I see a tractor with some rust on the floorpan. I don't see an unserviceable tractor. Doesn't look too bad to me for 60 years outside. I look outside my door & see a 75 year old tractor with some rust in places that did work 2 days ago & has lived OUTSIDE almost every single day for it's entire...

First... Tractors are designed to be outside in ANY weather. Have been since they were invented. Second... Tractors have been & still are stored outside in all kinds of weather every day/year. Third... Tractors stored outside continue to work as designed every day/year even though they live...

Now THAT certainly is a debatable matter of opinion.

Your post has nothing to do with tractors....

Do you KNOW for a FACT that one of your neighbors hasn't given permission to the riders to use THEIR PRIVATE ROAD?

WOW.... Thats almost beyond my comprehension that someone would abject to something YOU posted.

Sooo..... You think your post should be removed & you banished?

Better yet, whenever you leave your house, go in a FULLY stocked motorhome.

You readjust your headlights every time you load or unload anything in your truck? You're a better man then I am.

Some stations in MI do & yes, supermarkets & party stores can & do sell gas.

Keep it up, you guys make me feel:giggle::giggle::giggle: young again...

Some of us poor old farts remember when a penny was money.

But it too could get scuffed up, dirty, scratched and who knows what being shipped naked. Should be bubble wrapped in a cardboard box inside a wooden crate at least.

I wonder how you would feel if you & your personal vehicle were subjected to one of these inspections 4 or 5 times a year. IF they want to, any inspector CAN find a violation on ANY vehicle.

One of the other owners.

But if one feels it isn't a concern then it isn't? This works both ways right?

Of the "5 or 6 "owners" of the private road", how many consider this a *problem*?

Dad worked for the phone co. and our number was 177j. Then they put someone else on our party line so we got a PRIVATE line...177W.

"Old People" use a phone to make phone calls.

You nice people make me feel young. :):):)

Don't think you would like to see a 1956 picture of me naked in that little tub.

First phone I remember hung on the kitchen wall & didn't have a crank or dial. You picked it up and told the operator who you wanted.

Looks to me like you have them hooked up wrong. Hook goes through free end and back to link on hook end. As you pull it around to hook, it tightens up everything. I'll try to find a set with that hook & post a picture.

Maybe if you opened a NEW thread about restoration you would find out how many people are REALLY interested in your projects. It would make it easier for people to find you.

oops sorry missed that one.

So... you're saying he INTENTIONALLY set out to kill people that morning?

This was just a regular 1 ton pick up, not a semi. Basically the same brakes as any passenger car or other pick up truck just a little bigger then some.

You're sure the vehicle HAD an exhaust brake?

Are you trying to suggest personal accountability? That is ridiculous. Everyone KNOWS everything is someone elses fault, probably President Trumps.

One at 99.75 years old WITH Covid not FROM Covid.

Funny...when I google something the first page is mostly Amazon stuff & MAYBE one or two of them have a word in common with my search.

Yup... Same article and still nothing in the charges about weight.

Being someone hauling big boats for hire, the number of axles tells me the trailer MAY be able to haul heavy boats but may have been used for length rather then weight.

Yah... They will want you to wear a helmet and fasten a seatbelt.

Why do you think you need a 2 5/8" ball? Drop the trailer on a 2" ball & pull it out to where your tow vehicle is. It's not like you are heading out on a 500 mile trip through the back country in the mountains.

You can Ass U Me anything you want, I have no control of that.

Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it is unsafe. Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it is safe.

I don't recall seeing anything about them getting into an accident. Maybe some people are better drivers then you seem to be.
