I think there was a defect in the casting which was slowly failing (hairline crack) over the past few months / years. I was turning to the left (4WD engaged) and the stress on the right front tire exceeded the remaining strength.

I received the replacement gear case support (LVU803869) and, after a bit of struggle, got it installed. It sure would have been easier if the repair wasn't "in the field" as I probably made 10+ trips back-n-forth between the garage (where my tools are) and the tractor. A few things I learned...

The gear case support (LVU803869, #4 in the image) on my John Deere 2720 broke (in the woods, down the hill; of course not in the driveway) and I have the "joy" of replacing it. It looks pretty straight forward, but there's always the possibility of a surprise. If you've made the same repair...

Yes...that's a photo I took earlier today.

I'm going to list my Howse DLHT Disc Harrow which is in good condition (photos below). Before I do, I'd appreciate some input on an asking price. Similar sized, new disc harrows are over $2,000; I bought mine several years ago. My thinking - well maintained attachments are worth 60% (or so)...

It's possible to bend a loader ram when fully extended in the curl down position and an upward force is applied to the bottom front edge of the bucket.

Repair depends on the location of the leak. Have you been able find the source? I have a slow leak in a front tire on my JD 2720. I added tire sealant because the leak is in the sidewall. A plug can be used if the leak is in the tread. In all cases, removing the weight of the tractor from the...

As I recall (couldn't find the reference), there's a minimum overlap (2/3rds comes to mind) to ensure safety. Starting with a new PTO set, equal amounts are to be cut off both sections.

I met Bob Hope during the christening ceremony of the USNS Bob Hope (T-AKR 300). I was the Assistant Project Manager for the construction of the seven ship class of which the USNS Bob Hope was the lead ship. https://www.navysite.de/akr/akr300.htm

I did the same thing and made it so my stand slips out when I lift the rake to keep from bending it like I did to the original stand.

Depending on the size of the rocks and area, a rock grapple might work. In my area of Virginia, I unearthed thousands of softball sized (and larger) rocks in my 4,000 sqft garden area using a combination of mid-soiler and disc harrow. I still get an occasional one to show up when I use my...

I took a chance on the Betstco FarmerHelper flail mower two years ago. So far, so good. The hammer blades they provided were lousy (inconsistent lengths / weights). Thankfully, Titan has replacements that fit and are all the same length / weight.

Mike Rowe recently discussed a conversation with an Air Force officer with some knowledge on the subject who suggested that the UFOs are Earthlings from the future. Their visits have been just a check on how we're doing. Einstein reasoned that time travel is a possibility.

In 2010, approximately 25% of NPR was funded by US taxes. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2010/10/how_public_is_nprs_funding.html

PHC and Car Talk were the only shows I listened to on the taxpayer funded radio network.
