Here's what I came up with

It's a good thing car dealers don't have the same policy!

Wood mulch, chips, sawdust will all rob N from the soil as well.

I have a cable operated valve on my M5660 and have no issues feathering the loader functions.

I think Good Works Tractors offers their Stump Wrecker with JD quick attach.

Apartment complexes are good places too.

I've had a similar substance in the bottom of gas cans that were used with E10 but haven't seen it in my diesel cans or tractor water separator.

Is the trailer loaded to capacity (7k) during this trip or is it empty? Use FWD as it will provide traction and will allow the rear brakes to apply to the front wheels for 4 wheel braking.

I'd have to go with the old school Case orange and tan.

LOL! Round and round we go, where we stop, nobody knows!!

Mouse damage is considered "vandalism" and in the automotive insurance business, is a covered loss. Perhaps the poster typed warranty instead of insurance?

I run a Land Pride RCD1884 7 foot twin spindle cutter with a Kubota M5660 that has 50hp out the PTO no problem.

That was a JOKE, allenport, and my reply was directed to kthompson, not you. He was the one who commented about helping a neighbor in need as long as they aren't asking for help constantly. (It's ok to be needy, just not too needy) Thankfully there are some folks on here who understood that...

It's okay to be needy, just not too needy.

Output shaft is typically a tapered spline.

Krylon "new Kubota orange" is garbage. It fades to pink just weeks after applying.

Yep, gearbox is toast.

Poacher=person who hunts or fishes outside of the legal season for game.

Check out the Stump Wrecker from Good Works Tractors. He uses it on a 25hp Summit Tractor.

If I need to get off the tractor to perform a small task 10 minutes or so, I let my tractor idle at 2500 numbers per minute for proper DPF health.

If the output shaft is leaking you can also use corn head grease which is basically a #0 or #00 semi-fluid grease.

Turn off the radio and pay attention to what you are doing.

I followed your advice years ago, Eric the Oracle, and never had any issues afterwards.

And preferably NOT the cat unless you are in love with the smell of cat pizz.

For all the bucket and flapper guys, the exhaust on the OP's tractor is a very short open pipe that terminates under the hood. There is a small gap between the pipe and a "floor drain grate" that is fastened into a hole in the hood.

It would have to be waaaay off to strip out the plug if the dude follows the torque spec in the manual. After all, he's not building a space telescope or a jet engine.

Mine regens about every 10-15 hours regardless of what speed I run the engine when working.

In The People's Republic of Michigan you pay registration one time when you purchase the trailer and it's good as long as you own it. Dear Leader Whitmer stuffs the coffers from the people who buy and sell trailers because they can't figure out what they need the first time around or have to...

That's a fine tractor, you will love it!

Wow Old Paint you're lucky to be alive! Safety interlocks were definitely put there with people like you in mind. Consider these states and errors to help you be more safe: Rushing Frustration Fatigue Complacency Eyes not on task Mind not on task Line of fire Balance, traction, grip Next...

Short answer...no.

If it was me, I'd buy one or the other and use it in both.

My BIL just took delivery of an RK37 hydro. I used it to load logs onto a trailer and I was very impressed with the quiet, smooth transmission and the loader lift capacity. I'm a Kubota guy so it takes a lot to thrill me, and the RK37 did so.

I added some contrasting pipe marker tape on mine to help line up.

Thanks for the reply. Those numbers you provided are much more aligned with what my experience tells me. I think my BIL's owners manual has some bad/missing information. Can you imagine the disaster if someone put a full load of 80w in a hydrostat??

My BIL just bought an RK37 hydro and I was reading his owners manual when we got together for Thanksgiving. I was a bit surprised that the recommended fluid was SAE 80W for the transmission. I understand that RK also makes a gear drive shuttle shift version of this tractor and might possibly...

I love the ignore list! I use it a lot on Orange Tractor Talk. It is almost as fulfilling as when I dumped Facebook!

Brush crusher. Doesn't need a third function.

Fergie + 3PH finishing mower = 👍🏿👍🏿

Here's where my cutter lives year around when not in use. Shaft is removed and stored on top of the cutter.

Other than workinonit's concern, no.

This was a mid-sized one. We have some pretty big equipment at my employer. I want to snag a big one and make a cabin out of it.

Short answer...no.

I build huts from gigantic pallets for implements to sit on. Here's one before I got the steel roof put on.

As long as the brake cleaner chemicals don't attack the o-rings or othere elastomer parts you should be fine.

I trim mine so that I can uncouple the shaft from the tractor at any point in the vertical travel of the implement. Doing this you can't go wrong.

It does, but how does that logic apply to tractors not equipped with draft sensing mechanisms? I have such a tractor and the owners manual calls out one of the holes to be used with a moldboard plow (don't remember which one) and whatever your preference is for the others.

Here's something else to add to the confusion. The majority of tractors have 3 pin locations to choose from where the top link attaches to the tractor.

When you say wheelbase are you referring to the definition of wheelbase (distance from front wheel hub to the rear wheel hub) or the wheel spacing (distance from tread centerline to tread centerline aka "row spacing")? If your mower leaves strips that coincide with the wheel spacing, then it is...

Yep. Usually has a golden retriever in the car behind the wire mesh cage thingy

I have the Land Pride RCD1884 running behind my Kubota M5660 and I'm very happy with it. I like the offset for getting close to fences. It runs nice and quiet and leaves a decent finish. Don't back over saplings with it or you'll bend the skirt on the back.

I use a boiler tube brush. Works like a champ. McMaster Carr I believe.

I pulled my platform off and took it to my local Rhino Lining applicator. It has held up very well.

Yes. They are typically precharged at the factory.

Bought some flat face couplers from them...nothing but good quality and service!

No thanks. I prefer to allegedly "kill the planet."

I have a 50hp tractor and two acres and I maintain my mom's 40 acre place an hour away. 2 years old with 160 hours.

No, but I have the Kubota Shockless Ride Accumulator on my M5660 and it is AWESOME!

I like to bring the tractor and driven implement speed down to idle for a few seconds then turn off the PTO. Even with a high inertia load it will minimize premature PTO brake wear.

Lol, when I first glanced at the title of this post I thought it said REDnecking a bush hog!!!

Kroil will take concrete off tools and such.

I'm going to offer some advice different from the others. RUN, don't walk from this tractor!

No matter how big you make it, it will be too small.

2020 M5660 has the old fashioned green ethylene glycol stuff from the factory.

Look up mbmmllc on YouTube. The guy builds all sizes of jaw crushers for mining and recycling uses. Email him and I'm sure he could put a PTO shaft on one of them.

If the part is $15,000 I'd scrap the tractor!

I always open the filter in the store to make sure it matches the box, this after the cashier did it for me and when I asked why she stated that people take the expensive filters and put them in a cheapo filter box and attempt to purchase it.

Yep. The high end models break and turn into junk just as quickly as the entry level units so don't waste your money on all the wifi bullcrap.

Fortunately, my driveline never had chains on it. I let it spin and the motion tells my brain to stay away from it lest I get hurt.

Red Power magazine had an exhaustive article in the last couple of years that told exactly how to adjust and why.

I got one of these:

Turfco stuff looks nice. Pricey I'll bet

Those Dearborn's are nice plows.

What about the engine on a combine harvester? They're mounted transverse on the unit just like my Toyota RAV4. The number one cylinder is on the end opposite the flywheel by the water pump and vibration damper pulley.

I do. The OEM King Kutter driveline was a shear bolt only. I needed a longer driveline and got a used Walterscheid with a slip clutch. It attaches to the gearbox with the same shear bolt as the KK OEM driveline so I am in effect "running both."

Yeah you need a $5k Miller Synchrowave unit to make any halfway decent welds 🙄

Might have to unbolt the seat cushion from the pan. Remove the switch and pass it through the hole in the pan. Reconnect it to the wiring harness and then hold the plunger down with some electrical tape, zip tie, etc. You can reinstall the OEM switch when you sell the tractor. Did this on...

The welds look fine. It's the threaded bung that's rotting away.

I watched the video over lunch and it's a slick mechanism. My only beef is the areas of the tine web, etc. that are cut out leaves ample opportunities for sticks and twigs to get caught preventing the complete emptying of the grapple...as can be seen in the video.

I think it varies from one rental yard to another. On of the local places around here does ZERO maintenance and repairs to equipment. The last time I rented a Vermeer stump cutter, it was missing 12 out of 16 teeth and the weld was completely broken where the wheel attached to the shaft. I...

Allegedly one of the best uses for brake cleaner is for killing wasps and hornets.

I grew up in that area.. went to Edwardsburg. 3 miles from Indiana.

Here's my combo chain saw holder and grab handle.

Scrap the tank and convert the trailer into something you can use or sell. Log trailer, hay trailer, utility trailer, etc.

That ain't SW Michigan :ROFLMAO: I'm in Kalamazoo...that's SW Michigan! Welcome! Sounds like you have a nice spot. Muskegon State Park is one of my favorites.

I have the RCD1884 twin spindle offset. I really like it! Much better cut quality than the 5 foot King Kutter "brush chopper" that it replaced. I run it with a Kubota M5660.

I'm no tree hugger in any stretch of the imagination but that tree should have been spared. When people make sacrifices for the common good, they'll see all the sacrifice and none of the good.

All the good farmers knew what he meant by NTD. 😊

No big deal just tell the buyer that you and he will complete the transaction in the lobby of your bank. The personnel will gladly assist in counting and verifying the authenticity of the currency involved.

You forgot a box blade. No self-respecting tractor owner can survive without one!

The hydraulic system will have to be filled with windmill fluid because petroleum will be outlawed.

My 97 year old mom thinks she's getting screwed over when the boiler man comes out 30 miles one way to replace the ignition transformer and charges her $350. I think you done good.

My set of 48" Worx Duty brand forks weighs in at 400 lbs. I believe Worx Duty is a branch on the Land Pride tree.

Non-OEM oil filler/breather cap. Notice the pinched side and hose clamp on the bottom.

Here's a tip. Select an empty peanut butter jar and label it ¼, ½, etc. for your bolts. When it gets full, they start going in the trash.

I save anything that can function as raw material for another job. Anything unrepairable get tossed.

Usual guideline is 75% fill which equates to approximately at or around top of rim area. Sloshing is a non-issue at that point.

I have a clamshell, twin lid style. I like it because I can clamp smaller logs, raise them up, and buck them into 4-8' lengths standing up. Mine opens up to nearly 60" so I can grab a huge mouthful of brush.

Oops, I forgot one thing...a folding pruning saw.

I must be a minimalist. I have a clevis, a pair of gloves and a couple of spare pins. Contemplating throwing in an 8" pair of Channellocks.

Lumber prices dropped slightly and went back up again. Go to the NASDAQ website and you can see where lumber prices are and where they are trending. Low was August of 21.

Track loader or mini excavator might be better tools for site prep.

What is a TC24DA?

Typically you must be at a standstill to shift ranges H, M, L. Depending on your tractor the individual gears may or may not be synchronized. On my Kubota M5660, I have to be stopped and select bunny or turtle range. Once the tractor is in motion, I can shift the individual gears (1-4) by...

Typically the forward and reverse speeds of a shuttle transmission are the same or very close. I'm puzzled that the speed while backing up is so much greater than when going forward, if no gear changes were made. On my M5660 Kubota with power shuttle tranny, high 4 in reverse AND forward is...

One you figure out where they go, Outback Wrap makes a spiral wrap product that is great for identifying and bundling hoses to protect them from damage.

Contact that Whistlin' Diesel kid. He buys stuff like that to demonstrate how tough it may or may not be. You can use some of the money to buy a nice polywood rocking chair for the front porch.

Regardless of pin style or collar style, I engage the splines for the first half inch or so, then push the pin or slide the collar. Push the knuckle all the way onto the tractor shaft then pull back until the pin or collar balls snap into the groove. For me, it can't get much easier than that.

When will people realize that the green agenda has more to do with population control than saving the earth? Reduce the number of peasants so that the planet can become the playground of the wealthy.

Not unlike the premium Duracell batteries that leak right in the package.

Yes, yes we are.

You might also find a connecting link with the tiny cotter pins to hold the side plate on. Sometimes those are more available in the larger chain sizes like #60 and up.

And a suitable feeder is easy to make yourself!

So I just realized that the sticker with the model, s/n, etc. said CS35 but the sticker with the logo on the flywheel housing says MS354. Thanks for the manual link flyerdan!

I imagine parts are getting more scarce as the days go by but I'd like to get a new chain for my CS35 saw with 14" bar. Sticker on the saw provides the McCulloch part numbers for the bar and chain. From the numbers the 14" chain has 52 drive links but doesn't show the pitch anywhere. My drive...

I think the main drive roller chain(s) are stretched and jumping the sprocket teeth.

Why does Woods install crossover reliefs on their hydraulic angle scraper blades if they are only effective unidirectionally? 🤔 Perhaps their engineers don't frequent TBN.

There is mention of a crossover relief in post #35.

Here's my version. Blain's 2x8 cylinder $75 misc. hoses, fittings, crossover relief from Summit Hydraulics $200. My blade was a factory reject. The jackwagon that welded the holey plate to the kingpin welded it about 10 degrees off. When I put the pin in the middle hole the blade was not...

Nothin' like watching someone having a good mantrum!

That's going to be a fun job.

Interesting findings. Thanks for posting all of your data! I'm sure that it will be of help to someone along the way. L4740 correct?

Looks like a floor board bracket 🤪

Nothing. It's only a year old.

I think this is probably my favorite episode thus far. I almost died laughing when he drove the Toyota up the hill and then it tumbled over the edge! I really enjoy the drone footage! Can't wait to see the refurbishing videos on this one.

So nobody answered the question of why women/girls are so mesmerized by horses.

I hate everything about mice and chipmunks.

I have a chain stretch measuring thingy from Diamond Chain in my tool box that I never use. Roller chain is cheap enough that we replace if there is any amount of detectable wear. When downtime costs the company $100k per hour, it's foolish to NOT replace anything that's worn or of...

Use a plastic wheelbarrow and haul the road apples out to the pile. Why do women/girls love horses so much?

Take the chain off and give it a good cleaning in solvent. Lay the chain flat on the bench, stretch and compress it in a linear fashion and look for movement between the links. If the sprocket teeth come to a knife point, replace them. A snowblower isn't as critical as a machine that relies on...

Vehicle make and model will elicit more helpful responses.

Put a piece of ¼" hardware cloth over the air cleaner intake. Keeps rodents from chewing the filter and filling the housing with acorns and such.

Throw some big speakers on there and it look like it be from the north side, yo.

You moron! The assembly diagram was upside down!

Buckin' Billy Ray knows his chainsaws too.

If it moves, grease it. If it doesn't move, paint it.

You are correct. The Cub and the first F-12 had flathead engines. The A and the rest going forward had OHV engines...according to my research.

Farmalls have overhead valve engines.

I live on 2 acres and have an M5660, just the right size for me and couldn't be happier.

So much for that idea! 🤪

I'd keep it intact. Do some research on it, you might have a collectible unit!

I'm a rental fanboy. I rent a tracked Vermeer walk-behind unit for a weekend and run it dawn to dusk for $325 and took out more 18" stumps than I could keep track of, countless smaller ones and chased dozens of deck-killer roots across the yard.

I think that's awesome! I'd buy that, give it some love and a paint job and run it!

I put ¼" hardware cloth screen over my intake to the air filter before parking my tractor outdoors overnight for the first time. I already had a mouse chew my truck wiring harness.

That's why I don't use "ready to use" coolant. I buy Prestone coolant and mix it myself.

It's a common problem. As the air works its way out of the grapple cylinder(s), lines, hoses, etc. there's less room for fluid expansion due to temperature change. I bought a set of couplers that fit the grapple and outfitted them with small ball valves. I install the valved couplers when I...

If I could make six figures doing videos, you can bet I'd be doing it.

Talk to your county road commission and ask where they buy their cutting edges.

That fork adapter thingy goes between the QH and the implement, not between the top link and the QH.

A slappin' rain cap is a nice touch!

Mouse damage falls under the "vandalism" category.

Do you have a 4WD pickup or SUV? If so, put it in 4 High and drive it that way for 90 days and report your conclusions back to us.

My thought is if the location of the top link didn't matter, then there wouldn't be a need for an ASAE standard for 3PH geometry. I think I would find a way to keep it centered, even if it means re-engineering the lower links.

Change the oil and let it sit all winter. My dad changed the oil in the Farmall C every 5 years or so and when I inherited it, the oil pan started leaking oil through the paint. Upon removing the pan and inspecting, I saw the bottom pitted from acid attack and had to install a used oil pan...

You MUST remove both bolts! Slip the yoke on the tiller then reinstall the bolts making sure the groove in the male spline lines up with the bolt holes. You can drive a slim wedge (slotted screwdriver) in the slot to spread it if needed and you won't crack it. Slather the male and female...

I welded a 1/2" D-ring to the center of my pallet fork frame so my lift point is very close to the loader pivot pins for maximum lifting ability. I welded a 5/16-3/8 weld-on grab hook on each side of the backstop for load securement only...not for lifting.

I'll throw some more confusion in the mix! My local off-road tire store sells a product called TL-90 and they assured me it was basically generic Rim Guard so I told them to go ahead and fill the old Farmall C rear tires with it after I bought some used rims in good condition. They were...

Andrew Camarata and Fireball Tool are my favorite do it channels

Love roundabouts! The best one I ever saw was in Switzerland by the Zurich airport. It was under a huge clear span bridge that carried a 4 lane highway overhead. The on/off ramps of the highway were incorporated into the roundabout and it was smooth and seamless. Like the one on "The Bee Movie."

When the government finally outlaws the diesel engine, the motorheads will be modifying their electric Priuses to shoot lightning bolts out the exhaust at the annoying, ride 4 abreast, spandex jelly-filled short & neon jersey wearing bikers.

Personally I'd wait and see if problems develop. I guarantee if you split the tractor you'll be buying more than a retaining ring.

Looks like a typical cartridge valve. Should simply unscrew out of the manifold block.

Might be an engine off a power unit. Usually an I would be for "Industrial". Also, I don't think they started using a dipstick on the C-113 engines until after 1951.

The two most effective sales tools ever invented are the expiration date and horsepower recommendations!

Your local bearing supply house can help you! You'll need to peel the old one out of the housing first. Measure the shaft diameter, housing bore and thickness with a pair of calipers. Take this info down to them along with the old seal and they can match it up with a new one from CR, SKF, et al.

Plans are at minihaypress.com $90 for a set...worst part about building one is storing it all year long! I built a tiny one that can make 1/16th scale bales for my Ertl farm toy collection, thinking about a bigger one.

Anybody here ever build a mini hay baler...1/6, ⅓, ½ scale? I see them at tractor shows making the decorative mini straw bales the you see in Hobby Lobby, etc.. I'm thinking about building one for fun.

I have the #2 style with dual lids...love it! Difficult to pick up multiple straight, round logs or wooden cylindrical fenceposts, but for irregular logs works fine. It will clamp tightly on a single log so you can buck it into shorter pieces which is what I wanted. Mine opens to 52" for...

Disassemble gearbox and clean everything in a solvent tank parts washer, then reassemble.

Wow! What an awesome deal!

Be advised that TSC has bins with "regular" (grade 2), grade 5, and grade 8 bolts. Make sure you get the grade 2 bolts, (hint: they will be the lowest cost).

Additionally, the output shaft and the stump jumper have a tapered spline. You might get the castle nut off easily but will have to fight breaking the taper loose. Doesn't grab like a Morse taper but pretty close to it.

Go nuts! If you don't get any takers at $500 then drop the price. That's a nice light duty blade that would be ideal for snow plowing!

Make your new wood bearings out of hard maple aka sugar maple. Soak them in oil before installation. Hard maple bearings were used extensively in the early days for line shaft bearings, in water pumping windmills, all manner of farm equipment. Anything with heavy radial or shock loads.

Kroil and an air impact has worked well for me in the past.

I grew up on a tractor and then in 7th grade I took a tractor operators class sponsored by the Cass County FFA. Passed it with flying colors and never studied for the test. I had to demonstrate driving the tractor on a range and backing up a two wheeled trailer.

Yep. No harm, no foul.

One of the pictures is the infeed conveyor to a bucket elevator aka "grain leg". Looks like the bucket elevator has already been robbed for parts. At the top of the leg there should be a motor with a couple of pulleys and jackshafts to reduce the speed and increase torque culminating on a head...

I paid the deposit and am patiently waiting. AT&T DSL is the worst, next to Hughes Net. Unfortunately, I have no other options.

My last conversation with the authorities at Motion Industries has revealed that (this is their claim) matched belts aren't even a thing anymore. They claim that belt manufacturing tolerances are such that every belt is exactly close enough to each other to be used in applications where belts...

I went camping at a nearby State Park. Got back to the trailer, parked my truck, changed my clothes and when I opened the camper door, I saw a chipmunk running down the frame rail in the wheel well. Opened the hood and found an acorn with the end chewed off and a pile of crumbs on a wire...

From Kalamazoo north to about Gaylord the Gypsy moths have completely defoliated entire stands of primarily oak trees. The cocoon husks are covering the trunks of all species of trees, fixtures, anything that they can attach to. There are brown egg masses that look like finely chopped...

See if you can get a small open end wrench in there and turn the zerk a few degrees so that you can access it when the knuckle is open.

I'd run the self powered screamer and save hours on the tractor. Make sure you use ethanol-free rec gas in it.

Most automotive A/C's should read around 50⁰ F with a thermometer probe stuck in the dash vent. I think your system is malfunctioning.

I was in the same boat with a tiller I got recently. It was cheaper to buy a complete shaft/clutch assembly from agristore.com. They also carry tines for every tiller ever made. I paid $239 for my new assembly.

^^^^in the U.S. we call those "disk mowers"^^^^

Rotary cutter. It will cut those saplings and shatter/splinter the trunks and they won't be a problem. The bigger stuff cut 4 feet above ground and pull the stump out with a chain. Cut the 4 foot piece off and toss the stump on the burn pile.

Short answer, yes. I bought a $500 3PH scraper blade and use it more than my FEL for snow removal.

Last year I had several hummingbirds...so many that I bought a second feeder so they would fight less. This year, I have seen two total.

South Haven, et al, is crawling with them. I love watching them roll up at VBSP and try to be "campers". Warren Dunes SP is pretty much all Illinois plates with a sprinkling of Michigan plates occasionally.
