Something to make tire changing easier. I replaced all my open end lug nuts with acorn style closed end nuts . lug bolts stay cleaner and rust free.

My big trailers (24 and 32 ft goosenecks) I have two spare tires on each trailer. Cordless impact, 4 way, bottle jack and tire ramp In tow truck. Had too many flats and then had to buy replacement tire away from home $$$$$. Im 66 years old with lots of trailer pulling miles. Also have 12volt...

I use the 3” capped pvc pipe bolted to the FEL upright to store my chains.

It’s worth it, after Hurricane Rita I had to make that adapter up to repair my tractor box blade. Since then I’ve bought and engine powered welder and a adapter Just in case I need to run my MiG welder

This is the only parts list I have found for Long/Baltic tillers https://tillermaxx.com/images/Baltic-Long%20tiller.pdf

According to my parts list Bevel gear with curvedteeth see pos. 42 Part# 1500/20-004/0 starting point for search, https://www.lbr.ru/zapchasti/sesterna-1500-20-004-0 I rebuilt mine with seals and bearings from all over Europe. Not expensive but slow delivery. Good luck they are almost stump...

That crank system won’t work on my trailer… the bed is too low to allow for the rotation of the handle… bummer… instead of a handle install a large nut on the end of the roll up pipe and use a 3/4 harbor freight ratchet. I took the handle off my gooseneck horse trailer and put a 1-1/4 nut on...

I built my canopy for widow makers and limbs slapping me in the face while brushogging fence rows And pastures. the top is 2x2 x1/4 angle frame with 1/8 steel plate top

I use the wheeled fuel caddy also , first thing I did before putting any fuel in it was weld on some lifting rings. I set in on/off trailer or in my truck bed with the lift rings. It works perfectly strapped in the front corner of my 24 ft gooseneck trailer...

I had one of those, old timer told me only way to fill in a wet mud hole was line it with hay flakes from a square hay bales then immediately cover with Sandy 60/40. 20 years later it’s still dry and hard.

Do not discount the quick disconnects, I bought 4 sets and 3 of the 4 were bad. Drove me crazy for a few weeks till I took all quick connects out of the system and directly screwed the fittings together and slowly replaced the quick connects one set at a time.

If you look at it as an extension cord, the male plug goes into the power source (generator) and the protected end (female) plugs onto a semi protected male plug inside my transfer switch box. The male plug in the transfer switch does not have power on its prong’s until properly plugged into the...

My International harvester 254 (25 hp) has a two speed Pto. You have to take a plate off at the Pto lever and flip it over so the pto lever will go the other way.

I only have a towable backhoe so my personal opinion is if the 580 is in good mechanical shape I would build or buy a narrow bucket and thumb for the 580. you could rent a tractor loader backhoe in the same size as your current tractor for a few days and try it out before selling your big backhoe.

My wife’s 1538 Mahindra was doing the exact same thing. The intake preheat worked . I finally saw a diesel drip from the fuel filter at the water sensor replaced filter and sensor . It now starts like new. It was just a drip but it took a bit of cranking before fuel system would pressure back up...

I have a (side load) generator panel that has 6 circuits that I power with a 7500 watt dual fuel portable generator .each breaker has 3 positions Line -from JNEC Off- Off to work on circuit Gen- Power from generator This is wired into main breaker box so that no power will ever back feed...

I can lean out to the right and line up my implements easily.

You didn’t read the whole story. I fixed the problem I was just putting information out there for other owners for their use if needed. The last sentence said everything works now. But your suggestion is a good one I had already checked my preheat system.

My automotive code reader works on my 1538 Mahindra ; it just only reads a few of the available information points. I was just hoping someone had stumbled across the magic reader for off road engines that wasn’t thousands of dollars. I also have a older tractor the only thing electrical is the...

I have a cheap OBD2 reader for my diy projects. It works great on my normal vehicles and even reads several items on my Mahindra 1538 rpm,temps, load percentage ect. My question is has anyone found a decently price code reader for off road engines. I’ve done my normal research and found several...

My wife has a 1538 Mahindra which has been getting hard to start, as in starter running for long time before engine runs. I first thought it was preheat but ruled that out with test meter. I saw a diesel drip and the fuel gauge graph was flashing. I tried the primer pump one morning on a cold...

Reverse the lines ,this will check if it’s fittings or valve or cylinder

Some do some do not. You have to read the enclosed items or pictures. Mine did not come with instructions but you tube and several web sites can help. Hardest part was getting old flywheel off.

It was a complete bolt on kit. Was easy and included all the parts. I bought mine on eBay.

I have added a electric start kit like that to a Chinese Honda clone 9hp . Works great

The plugger works without taking tire off the rim, especially useful for liquid filled tires. It’s a quick and sometimes permanent fix. If not permanent it will slow the leak down considerably giving you enough time to get back to the barn.

I usually put tubes in. But a another way is this https://www.amazon.com/Plugger-Repair-Mushroom-Tubeless-Motorcycle/dp/B09YCLW6ZX/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=Mushroom+Tire+Plug+Kit&qid=1665626579&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI0LjY2IiwicXNhIjoiNC40MSIsInFzcCI6IjQuMTYifQ%3D%3D&sr=8-6 I bought it to carry on my...

I use the 1/16 I also have some that are jic to jic I found them on eBay a while ago. All my hoses are 1/4: my tractor max flow is 7.5 gpm so 1/4 is fine for everything and cheaper.

I use my post puller on my 3 point to pull up small trees. We have two tractors but only one has FEL. I bought 3point to quick attach adapter and use the grapple on the smaller tractor as a nimble brush mover.

You mean like this. Apache 39004277 Hydraulic Adapter Steel 3/8" D X 3/8" D I have used a few to slow down my hydraulic swivel on my 3 point straight blade And to slow top link travel.

I found this on titan r14 tires https://www.titan-intl.com/Tires/R14T

Dug out large tallow tree stump today. My old Towable backhoe surprised me, chaining it off to my 254 international with 6 foot straight blade increased it’s holding power. The 1538 Mahindra was just barely able to pickup and carry the stump and only after rolling it around a few times to get...

Also called hydraulic wrench’s or service wrenchs https://www.amazon.com/Piece-SAE-Service-Wrench-Set/dp/B007QV71WQ/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=Hydraulic+Wrenches&qid=1664410779&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI1LjIwIiwicXNhIjoiNC44OSIsInFzcCI6IjQuNzIifQ%3D%3D&sr=8-4

No mine is different but the basic build is like Baltic. My gear box looks like the rear end of a truck and runs in the dirt. That’s why most gear boxes have bad front seals and bearings everything else is built like a tank. They raised the gearbox on their newer models. I was just giving you a...

Washed the condenser out while I had the top off to replace the fan.

It looks like a Baltic brand tiller sold by Long tractors in USA. Tines are available and parts are available by original parts suppliers. Bearings,seals etc. I have a all 5’ gear drive tail dragger model, the gear case actually runs in the ground with the tine drive shafts coming straight out...

It’s direct drive. The squeal was the bushings on startup. Electric motors are amazing sometimes if their under a light load and never stop they can run for years with bad bushings/bearings they interally levitate like a magnetic train. But will not restart once stop.

I just replace my condenser fan and capacitor also. Amazon $175, luckily I had heard it squeal on startup a few days before it went out completely so I ordered one and replaced it when the new one arrived.

I have had to tweak about 1/2 of my quick attachments to make them more secure or even to latch. Enlarged a few holes with 1/4 die grinder and welded a few 3/8 flat bar pieces on some. I think the lighter weight loaders on some tractors twist just enough to cause these problems Vs the heavier...

Hurricane Rita had hurricane strength winds 111 miles inland. I live 48 miles inland from where eye came ashore, so 50 miles would not have got me out of the hurricane. I crazily rode out Rita will never do that again, category 1;2;3 stay category 4 and 5 leave. Plus as noted in Texas you have...

I was not trying to sell you a nearly new terramite, I was just listing different places that worked on them maybe you had missed, in case you wanted to check with them for the information you are seeking. I infer they handle terramites for a living so they would have information. Whether they...

Or here https://terrysterramites.com/parts

https://www.terramitereplacementparts.com/product-page/53137-hub-kit they say they stock terramite parts. Would be a good starting point for information https://www.terramitereplacementparts.com/home

I use these from ebay...

I keep things for a long time. Resell value is not something that even crosses my mind. IH tractor 40 years, Mahindra tractor 6 years ,oldest truck 20 years, new truck 7 years.We built our house with our own hands 42 years ago. We tend to keep things so resell value doesn’t compute for us Except...

I think to ability to do whatever is needed around your place anytime you want vs scheduling someone and then waiting is well worth the cost of tractor ownership. Even being retired I hate adhering to someone else’s time table to get mowing,fence repair dirt spreading etc. done. I have always...

Here’s mine I wanted a little more protection it’s all galvanized steel frame 1/4 thick top is 1/8 plate. Started out welding just the outside edge on the top it vibrated badly. I stitch welded everywhere ,no rattles now. Some one I worked with was killed cleaning up in 2005 after hurricane...

If it will move an inch you can get it off with patient applications of penetrants and moving it back and forth. Good Luck

Anti seize goes on everything for me. After working in a Paper Mill for 38 years watching the results of the Mill mechanics using copper anti-seize vs Construction mechanics using nothing was like night and day.

Welcome to the forum, I’m about 93 miles east of you near the Sabine River.

This is how I did my rear auxiliary valves (not FEL ) in the diagram. I ran 2 3/8 hydraulic hoses from hydraulic pump back to aux valve then back to original steel hose removed from pump. Using two of the flange replacements from hoye tractor. Mitsubishi 25 horse 1984 (IH 254)

Mine did the exact thing. The plastic in-line quarter turn gas valve had swollen almost shut internally, probably from ethanol. There was a faint trickle thru the valve I replaced it with a 1/4 brass valve. No problems since.

I use locking hooks on almost everything now, I got tired of the sheet metal type safety latches on hooks and bought these. I like to use the slip hooks to make the end connection to d-rings and shackles less bulky .

I have a Evolution sliding miter saw. It will cut 4x6 in one pass. It will also cut 2x2x1/4 angle iron perfectly. 1/4 thick is the thickest metal I have tried it on but 1/4 is 90 percent of what I use on my projects. Anything thicker goes on my metal cutting bandsaw.

The ratchet rake actually works good clearing vines and shallow rooted brush. I also mount mine on a non FEL tractor on the 3 point straight blade it works great there also and leaves the other tractor for the grapple. I did change the mounting system to use 5/16 chain and turn buckles.

I cleared out a lot of grub brush/smallish trees on the outskirts of a former hay field with a hydraulic post puller mounted on a quick attach adapter on my 3 point. 3 point has lots of lifting power and a tree has much less resistance when pulling straight up. 1538 Mahindra 38hp . It is slow...

Do a search for hog hunting dog vest. Some of our locals use them.

I built this canopy mainly for sun protection but as the project grew my materials got heavier. 2 inch angle iron 1/8 inch top plate. I clamped it to the rops as not to drill any holes and bolted it to the FEL uprights. There is a one foot pop open area in the very front to be able to see...

I have a northern tool towable one and am constantly figuring on doing the opposite. making it three point attachable. I upsized the engine and pump from 5hp and 1.5 gpm to 9hp and 3 gpm. I bought it for $250 and spent about another $500 getting new engine and pump. Original engine was locked...

I have to do what you are talking about with my tractor sometimes. It’s a 1983-84 model 254 international. Made by Mitsubishi with a K3E engine. Some parts are still available from Case/Ih. You need to find the make and model of your engine irregardless of the tractor name. The...

At first I thought somehow graber post had reversed from post grabber. It is a legitimate question. I have dismantled a barn with a post puller/grabber.

Dwayne Johnson in Jungle Cruise was good

enough hydraulic fluid in tank? pump might be air locked, loosen discharge pump fitting to allow air to bleed out.

The United States Department of Agriculture has declared Newton County and six other Texas counties as a natural disaster due to drought conditions. According to the USDA, Newton County along with DeWitt, Freestone, Guadalupe, Falls, Gonzales, and Limestone Counties all fall directly under the...

Cranes are amazing. During our shutdowns/rebuilds I have seen 600 ton crawler cranes and one worked at our mill for a month with a million pounds of counter weight. Watching them work was amazing but seeing them transported in in pieces and assembled was even more amazing to me.

I’ve used chains on mine since 1985. Just replace the flat bar with 5/16 chain allows the tail to raise up without bending anything.

I have a short version of that crane in the back corner of my truck. wonderful back saver.

Well at the lime kiln we used a 8 gauge with. 3oz slug. Would usually fire 200-300 per episode. Usually only a couple times a year.

Pneumatic chipping hammer with these types of bits. We used these at work on the lime chutes to unplug them. A regular shop pneumatic hammer will unstick a lot of things. Either go up ladder or tie back trigger and attach to end of conduit and stand on the ground with valve in air hose.

I always go completely around the post and twist the wire onto itself top,middle and bottom.

Start here they also have for regular distributors http://weldmart.com/SA200%20Electronic%20Ignition.htm

Yes turning plate over and rebolting allows the pto lever to go forward for 1150 rpm. I have a IH254 same tractor a year or so before case bought IH.

Here is a starting point https://www.waltstractors.com/acatalog/Fuel-Shutoff-Cable---2017-2-1.html Iseki tractor with Isuzu engine rebadged as White tractor according to tractor data.com

It’s funny about brands. I bought a International 254 tractor and it’s made by Mitsubishi for IH. Then my wife bought a Mahindra 1538 and guess what it’s made by Mitsubishi for Mahindra.

This is the website I used to build the trusses for a MIL apartment in my backyard. Glued and nailed with plywood gussets. They came out great and I built a lift pole to set them on the building. https://myrooff.com/roof-truss-calculator/

Buy some flush cut pliers. Does not leave a sharp nib.

On a covered porch. Originally I bought a cloth cover for it but that just made it a mouse hotel. Took cover off and this Allows the dogs access to be mouse catchers. I roll it to a covered area plug in cords and propane and throw transfer switch.

In my youth long time ago I rode dirt bikes. In middle age I bought a street cruiser and rode it thru several tire replacements lol. I ended up retiring with a bad back and sold my street bike because I was afraid if I ever dropped it I couldn’t pick it up again . If I was a smaller person I...

The old fashion dirt scoop is cheaper and can be used to dig or back into a pile of material. They are very handy put them on with cutting edge forward and the will make wonderful shallow ditches. And they gravity dump.

Is your tiller all gear drive with the pumpkin in the center actually at the dirt line? I rebuilt a 5 foot one . Bearings and seals only. It is probably a Baltic brand rebadged as Long. Bearings and seals had to come from Europe. And I’m a former parts guy they were unavailable in the us. Try...

I have a 20+ year old Hypertherm 900 originally I used it on a cnc table but mainly now handheld cutting. Will pierce 1” and cut 1-1/4. Parts and consumables still available. Biggest thing is clean and DRY air, being I live in a place where 70-80 percent humidity is not uncommon that was my...

I use old fire hose for the sharp edges when using straps. And old fire hoses makes great protectors for hydraulic hoses on my grapples and post puller. But when hauling equipment it’s chains and load binders.

I’m a firm believer in copper based anti-seize . I put it on everything except spark plugs.

Looks like wild hogs. They will sometimes find a favorite tree and it will end up glossy with mud with stiff hairs sticking out.

Your going to have to take it off to determine if it’s npt or jic fittings. Just remove it and take it to a hydraulic shop or anywhere that make hydraulic hoses, it looks like standard fittings probably 3/8 jic as a guess.

I would check neutral and pto safety switches. Could have gotten knocked out of alignment or unplugged. I have caught my hammer loop on my pto lever several times getting off just enough for it to not start when I got back on later.

I retired at 57 after working at the same place for 38 years all 8 or 12 hour swing shift. We were bought out 3 different times but the job stayed good. But is was a job, not a career. I told my twin daughters We would pay for their college for any degree that was a career. Anyway the last 18...

24 foot gooseneck and 2015 Chevrolet 3/4 ton gas engine. Hauling two tractor s for my wife and I to help another couple clean up ten acres they just bought. the bigger Mahindra 1538 is actually my wife’s tractor lol.

I will add one suggestion when you have the puller tight use a pneumatic hammer with a blunt tip (chipping gun) on the gear. This seems to help tremendously without danger of busting anything, maybe shakes rust loose.

Loading up tractor (with rotary cutter)on lowboy . The tippy point when the front wheels are light just as the rear wheels leave ramp onto trailer. I forgot to lock brakes together I usually just tap the brakes , this time the tractor turned sideways on the trailer with brush hog sticking out...

Texas is a private lands state (over 93% of Texas is privately owned) Nevada is the most federally owned state 80.90°/° Alaska has more federally owned acres but less percentage wise. 60.9

I carry a 12 ton bottle jack and a more power puller now , several times in the past a hilift jack caused more trouble than the original problem. I do have several but they are normally used as spreaders or clamps. A 3 ton 30 ft more power puller is the thing to have and my horse trailer weighs...

On My two wheel drive IH254 I sometimes have to put it in reverse and back up a foot or so to allow the internal fingers to release.

in southeast texas the stump jumper is the disc the blades are bolted to.

What is a Rotary Cutter? A Rotary Cutter is a cutting tool for fabrics. It is a sharp blade wheel, in a handle, used to slice through multiple layers of fabric and resembles a pizza cutter. Rotary Cutters also come in a variety of blade sizes, commonly 18mm, 28mm, 45mm and 60mm. The larger the...

Around here he even spelled it wrong. It’s a BRUSH HOG. Gooseneck trailers, heliarc so many things are known by the name of the original company that invented or introduced them to the world.

I actually have a 1984 IH254, for starter or alternator I took mine to local alternator shop for rebuilding He even replaced the mechanical voltage regulator with a sealed electronic one. Its 40 year old tractor, those engines are in everything from heavy equipment to boats.

This is even better than the Ford,Dodge Chevy debate because most of the smaller tractors are made by someone else and rebadged. My International was made by Mitsubishi and my Mahindra 1538 is a Mitsubishi also. Yanmar has made Green Tractors for over 30 years. I agree with buy what fits you...

Part of what I mow is a horse pen, Sandy and rough, partly I’m near the gulf everything rusts and I’m a big guy 6’4” 270. It’s not a manicured lawn. The mower decks don’t last long. Around here the disc brakes have a layer of rust on them after 2 days of not driving . Every place and every...

I currently have a 25 horse International bare bones tractor and a Mahindra 1538 with FEL and aux hydraulics front and rear. I had considered buy a sub compact tractor with fel and mid mount mower. FEL to clean out barn and mower for mowing. How many people with this setup like their midmount...

I replace my trailer tires every at least every 7 years or sooner if needed. Our big trailers 24 ft goosenecks, one horse trailer (9000 lbs. empty)other lowboy are usually pulled several hundred miles loaded anytime we pull them. After loosing two tires on two separate trips trying to ( make...

At that length I would definitely check into going gooseneck. I have a 16 foot lowboy (bumper)and a 24 foot gooseneck lowboy. I prefer to pull the 24 foot. A gooseneck is more forgiving on loading position of trailer and on a 24 foot trailer more positioning room. I was in a wreck (not the...

105 pound Great Dane Bull. AKA biggest lap dog ever lol

I have a 20 plus years old Hypertherm 900 it will pierce 1” and cut up to 1.25”. Needs lots of clean DRY air. Main thing is stay with a major brand for consumables to be available in the long term. I love the drag tip and it also has standard stand off tip. 20 plus years old and...

After several hurricanes and the problem with modern treated wood rotting quickly in our local soil, I have went to all metal buildings. Have bought 3 from Mueller as a kit. 18x20 wood floor fully enclosed, 30x40x12 shop concrete floor with 30x40 attached carport roof and a 12x24 loafing shed...

I had some 3/8 hydraulic hoses made up to run from my rear remotes and routed them semi permanently to the front of my FEL. I have a third function electric valve but a fourth function up front always is nice for the more delicate controls And for hydraulic motor controls.

I have two one for my tractor without a front end loader but with two rear hydraulic valves . That way I can use my grapple,forks etc on my non front end loader tractor. The other one goes on front end loader tractor , tree/post puller on rear and grapple on front for land or fence line...

i used two of these to get hydraulics on my ih254 ( it’s a 25 hp tractor made for IH by mitibushI) it bolts straight to the hydraulic pump with a 3/8 npt center. Ran from this to my new hydraulic valve then from the power beyond back to the hard pipe that was originally bolted to the pump. Two...

The jaws close all the way tight. I bought the adapter from titan attatchments also.

I use a post/tree puller mounted on my three point it pulls some pretty big stuff. I have 38 hp tractor with hydraulic top link. Most trees resist side movement but a straight up pull works very well, and the 3 point lift is much stronger than the FEL.

I have two hooks welded on inline with cylinders and added trailer receiver hitch in center of bucket. It is the red part in the center usually I have my gooseneck ball and 10,000 lb hook for lifting in the hitch but I have several different things that will fit. Tri-ball d-ring ect.

Added grapple and tooth bar to bucket. Love it for small clean-up, still put full size grapple on for brush piles. Grapple from Green Machine The Thumb They call it the Thumb. Tooth bar from titan implements.

I hang mine from a 4" pipe gantry, It makes it easy to hook up to the tractor.

We have a 24 ft 14K lowboy trailer with 6 ft heavy ramps. Bought 2 2k springs from Etrailer and installed them. Wow the difference it makes.
