Yep.

Here you go: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/end-section-pack-of-2 I don't have a way to rivet the third hole, so I left it empty ... which is exactly what the discussions I found the other day said to do. It works fine that way ... at least it's worked fine for the 2 - 3 hours...

I know that sickle mowers are largely out of favor these days, but my 9' NH451 is my favorite tractor implement. It's a huge time-saver when cutting around my 6 acre lake, which has steep banks in some parts, especially along the dam. I also use it to cut strips in the weeds/hay (that's...

An underground shelter, whether concrete, wood, fiberglass, etc. just seems safer to me (but I'm sure the above-ground shelters are equally safe) ... plus there's the aesthetics factor. My house is on a conventional foundation, not a slab. Would a "closet shelter" be possible in the absence of...

It seems that we are now in "tornado alley." Last month a series of tornadoes tore through our area, with massive destruction and loss of life. One came within a mile from our home. It's time for me to seriously consider constructing a shelter for people (and a few dogs). Probably around 100...

My place has been invaded by vasey grass. Two years ago it was limited to an area of roughly 1/4 acre; but this year it expanded to roughly 15 acres, with small clumps of it scattered across nearly all of my 86 acres ... I have no doubt the small clumps are the beginnings of large patches...

Yes, same with mine. (And now that I have replaced the relay, it even goes off when it's supposed to!)

TBN does it again! The generic $18 Glow Plug LampTimer Relay fixed the problem! Thanks to the responders!!! Ghost River Retrievers

I've ordered the "el-cheapo" relay... I'm crossing my fingers that it will fix the problem. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the info! I'll let you know what I find out.

Last week my TC35 wouldn't start, so I thought I'd check the battery connections first. When taking off the first side, my wrench slipped and hit both terminals ... small spark ... I cleaned the connections and tightened them. I went to try to start it and got nothing ... dead as dead can be...

I have about 80 acres and a 1/4 mile+ driveway; the land is mostly pasture with a few groves of pine trees around the edges; also have a 5 acre lake. I bought a used New Holland 35 hp 4-wheel drive, with a front end loader ... the FEL is a must-have for me. I also have a 6' brush-hog, 9' sickle...

I understand the PITA that the RPOS can be ... I've been subjected to a couple beatings by limbs knocked off by the RPOS on my compact tractor (I simply misjudged the height of the branches) and had the RPOS on my ZTR knock apples off my orchard. Nonetheless, except when I have to mow very...

The OP's situation sounds a bit familiar .... Last month, I was 250 miles from home, cruising with my bride and three retrievers when the transmission in my 2017 GMC Sierra went bad (fortunately, I was able to limp into the nearest town) ... the truck has only 82,000 miles on it, nearly all...

Ugh! This thread reminds me of the dozens, maybe hundreds, of hanging or hung-up limbs I have around my property as a result of a major ice storm early this year. Many of my pines are nearly stripped of limbs on their north side. I've removed the easy-to-get-to limbs, but some of those which...

So when we moved to the farm 7 -8 years ago, I wanted a couple of cats for the two sheds. My reason was because I don't like snakes and if you have mice or rats, you're going to have snakes. However, my bride of 40 years said, "Absolutely not ... I hate cats!" Hence no cats. Over the years...

Thanks. I tried using two large (24") pipe wrenches, but that didn't work, so I put the pipe in my 6" Wilton bench vice and cranked down hard ... I know that's not ideal, but it worked.

Final chapter of the story: I ended up buying a threader kit off Amazon from HFS, which appears to simply be an Amazon vendor although it says HFS stands for Hardware Factory Store. The kit came with three sizes, 1/2", 3/4" and 1" ... I needed only the one inch for the rack I was building for...

Thanks for the warning. I'll keep an eye on the stressed parts and go to a welded version if cracks/breaks appear on the threaded version.

Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions. As I mentioned, this is not for a gas line or other potentially hazardous application ... so long as the threads will go into the fittings, I'll be satisfied. After reading all of the posts (and knowing that I'll likely never use the tool again)...

I need to thread 1" pipe. rgr33, Regarding it being on a shelf most of its live, in my > 60 years, this is the first time I've ever needed a pipe threader, so if history tells the story, it'll be the only time I use it. I don't mind spending money on high quality tools that I will use even if...

I have a small DIY project for which I want to use black pipe. It will require making threads on both ends of 9 pieces of pipe. Although I know the finished length of 5 of the pieces, the length of the remaining 4 pieces are uncertain until I'm into the project. I know that the big-box...

I learned about burning piles from a USDA "fire chief." I first clip the grass/hay/weeds around the pile as low as my rotary cutter will go. To get a complete burn, noting wind direction, I'll start with a back burn on the leeward side, after roughly 1/3 - 1/2 is burned, I'll start the...

A sickle bar mower would work great for that. I bought a 9' New Holland 451 to trim around my lake and found that trimming under the branches is a nice side-benefit. You may think about a 9 footer ... the extra 2 feet may be useful.

Like some of the others, I love my 2015(?) Polaris Ranger 570 full size ... I wish that all my other equipment was as dependable as the Ranger. It's used pretty much every day ... most days it's pulling an 8-bay dog trailer around our 86 acre farm. I got the front windshield and back glass to...

I run a Husqvarna backpack blower and have had zero issues with it over the 8 +/- years we have used it ... with 5 of those years being on the farm to clean the porches, deck, dock, garage, sheds, kennels, and sidewalk, blowing leaves out of the front ditch so we can mulch them, as well as...

Sickle mower.

I have a similar lake ... around 5-6 acres. The dam side has a drop of around 3 feet. The sickle mower is absolutely perfect for the job. I had a few trees >1" in diameter that I removed with a blade and kept away with some herbicide that I can't recall the name of ... but once those trees...

So yesterday late afternoon I went to the shed ... with wiring diagram in my hands ... to work on the Husqvarna. With the diagram, along with the advice provided on this forum, I felt fully armed, prepared and ready to do battle with that beast. Of course, it started .... But I'm ready for...

I'm having EXACTLY the same issue with my Husqvarna MZ 52LE. I've already taken it to the shop and they can't figure out what's causing the failure to start under those circumstances. PLEASE post the "fix" if you get this problem figured out. Thanks!

Yesterday I was moving some dirt around to make a mound a bit lower and less steep. Everything was going smoothly and I was nearly done when I decided that I needed to take a view from the top of the mound. So I stopped the tractor, lowered the bucket, put the shifters into neutral position...

My "new-to-me" 20+ year old NH 451 9' sickle mower is perfect for cutting around our lake ... much easier and faster than a weed-whacker or a rotary mower, even when taking into consideration the time to attach it. I noticed that I have one blade coming loose and will need to secure it or...

At long last I located a New Holland 451 Sickle Mower for cutting around my lake. I ran it last weekend and it works well, seems to be in pretty good shape for an old piece of equipment (I think it was built in the 1980s ... if anyone knows how to figure out the age of one by using the serial...

I have a 2,000' gravel driveway, which was already built when I moved onto the property. Frankly, the guy that had the driveway built had it done RIGHT! It's got a very solid base, nicely banked on the turns, with a very good crown in the middle. After looking at a bunch of posts explaining...

I have a 6' bush hog rotary cutter and need to cut some weeds, mainly johnson grass. The issue is that I'd like to cut it to about 24" high (this may seem ridiculous, but it has to do with training dogs). So is it unsafe to mow with the deck raised that much? If not, is it unsafe to cut with...

Like many on this forum, I live miles from town in a county with few residents, so there's no police presence and most like a response time of at least 20 minutes, maybe more. We have a typical farm gate with an electric opener at the entrance from the road; our gravel driveway is roughly 3/8...

Last year I had hoped to buy a NH 451 sickle mower to hook onto the rear of my NH TC35, but our A/C-Heat unit went out and I had to lay out $$$ for that since the OWMBO likes the inside of the home to be at a comfortable temperature. I couldn't really argue that point. Problem is that at the...

I bought a used SQ720 and it's time for new blades ... these are in bad shape. I saw that Tractor Supply has blades available, but don't know about the quality of the product. Does anyone have experience, good or bad, with TSC rotary cutter blades? Also, this will be my first time to take the...

I hate to paint, but have about 600' of 3-rail fence that has to be painted. And to make matters worse, I'm going from white to black, so will probably have to paint it twice. So my question is what is easier/faster (I'm not sure those are the same...I'd prefer faster over easier): •brush •power...

I have a 2003 New Holland TC 35 with just under 700 hrs. I was doing some FEL work and put it in 4WD, now I cannot get it out of 4WD. I've had to put in some effort to get out of 4WD when I've done it before, but after a few good pushes down on the bar it came out, but not this time. Need help...

As you can surmise from the name, I'm a retriever guy. We bought a place in Benton County a couple years ago primarily for training our dogs because the public places that I was training got over-run by joggers, walkers, bike riders, pic-nickers, kite flyers, etc. Anyway, it was the best...

I have, hopefully, weed-eated for the last time around my lake ... I'm buying a sickle mower. From the research I've done so far, it looks like a (used) 6' or 7' Ford 501 should work just fine on my NH TC35. According to the specs, the sickle blade can go from 35 degrees up to 35 degrees...
