Short answer, No. We are grandfathered at the back end of a 1.5 mile 1 lane gravel road. County would require me to upgrade the whole road to 40' with 10' shaped drainage and streetlights. Not feasible because most of the easement is across a hillside.

It's the same all over NC. In our area Wake, Durham, and Johnston counties have all over built with McMansions and high density housing (Read "townhouses"). We live in Granville county and the only thing stopping additional development is the South Granville Water system was built during...

So, What's a "Regen" ??? And what's this DPF everyone's talking about ???

No, I have a guy that rebuilds cylinders for me. That's one thing I leave to the pro's.

The pin and sleeve you are looking at (with the drift pin and grease fitting) is one of the ends of the arms. What I am working on is mid span of that arm, where the hydraulic cylinder connects. I am removing the hydraulic cylinder to rebuild it with new seals. I added that picture to show how...

I'm concerned about the ends also, I think it's time to cut the pin in the center and push it out either side. Anyone know a good source for a 1.5" X 12" pivot pin ???

The DCT should be a nice upgrade, but they made the GW smaller with the redesign. At 6' 8" and 300lbs my 2013 F6B took a lot of mods to be comfortable. I have a feeling I will be going to a Spyder to get the DCT....

Shouldn't be hard to attach your mounting / hydraulic assembly to a 3pt frame. The only issue I can see is all of the hydraulic connections you will need. Could be interesting ....

I just realized some clarification may be needed here; 1) There is no production work being impacted here. I buy old equipment that I have a specific need for, fix it up and then sell it after I'm done. In this case, this is a Marklift boom lift I plan on using to add a garage onto my house...

Just an update, we have been able to move the pin a 16th to an 8th of an inch using the jig and a sledge but it just won't go through. Too much flex in the square tubing to allow me to push with full pressure. Next step is using the hacksaw blade to cut the pin and drop the cylinder out of the...

I have a 1.5" hydraulic cylinder pivot pin that is seized and will not come out. It moves easily on the cylinder end but is frozen to the sleeves in the square channel on either side. The pin was held in the sleeves with vertical drift pins but over the last 30 years moisture has gotten in them...

The wife and I don't bend too well anymore so now we stick to touring bikes .... We leave the crotch rockets to the youngsters ....

Nice looking runabout ...

I got the clamp-on to use for the rare occasions I need forks. They work great and store away in minimal space. I have lifted several #3,000 pallets of blocks without a problem.

I use a 16KW and back-feed it through my welder plug. Best gen set I have ever owned.

I have my back hoe for counterweight ....

I did the same thing with the chain (it hooks to the chain hooks at the top of the bucket, not all the way around). If you look at the picture above, you'll see they added a bracket for the turnbuckle to attach to. I never use a 2x4 for the backstop, don't trust it. I use some heavy c channel...

I just added a "Lane Shark" to my collection of tools. Only have about 3-4 hours of cutting with it and so far I'm impressed. I get 8.5 gal through the hydro and that seems to be plenty. Also, with the swinging blades, I don't need to worry too much about hitting something.

Welp, 3 days for shipping and 4 days grunting and tugging (and a new Harbor Freight 2 ton engine hoist) and I'm up and running again. I also changed the oil and hydraulic since I had it apart as well as full greasing and fixed some routing and protection issues with the wiring and hydraulics...

Just to close out my search, I went with a "Lane Shark". Impressive so far, only time will tell.

If you don't mind, How are they for durability ? I mow several acres with my 62" deck and I tend to be a bit rough on blades. Thanks

I mean it is listed as fitting several models .... Both Mahindra and Case/IH

Yes, I was amazed to see that the same clutch plate is listed as a replacement on an 80hp Case/IH 845. Should defiantly be strong enough for my little 40hp Mahindra.

Ran across the Meg-Mo Rotary Mulching Blades as well as the Cutlass blades for a lawn mower. Looks like a bush hog type blade for a lawn mower. Just wondering if they would be worthwhile on a JD Diesel with a 62" deck.

I thought so too until I realized that same clutch is used in a Case/IH 523 which has 11 more HP. I think its more of a one-off failure, especially with only 250 hours on the machine.

I think I found my problem, surprisingly I didn't see any thing else damaged.

Almost got the tractor ready to split, can't wait to see what's broken ...

Yea, was hoping to find some one who has seen a similar problem and might have some tips. Usually a good idea to pick the brains of those with more experience ....

No inspection plate ... The Transmission and the PTO are a dual clutch system off of a single pedal. Upper half of the pedal travel is the transmission and the lower is the PTO (so you can change gears without interrupting the PTO operation).

Mahindra 4025 4wd with 250 hours on it. Been a great tractor so far. Was out on my road today doing some minor work, 1st gear, low range, 1200rpm, when I heard a moderately loud bang. Pushed the brake and clutch and nothing happened. Tractor kept on rolling. Slowed down when I reduced the...

Right now I am looking at Discount hydraulics to make up the hoses I need. 2 wire, 1/2 in, 3000 psi rated with jic female swivel on either end. I have never worked with hydraulics a lot so this is a learning experience. I am adding a "D" spool motor controller and an "A" spool 3rd function to...

I did, I also looked at Discount Hydraulics, Summit, and New line. Just looking for input, good or bad, from people who have ordered hoses online.

Any suggestions on where to get some hoses made up. I'm adding a couple of "3rd function's" to my Mahindra 4025 and probably looking for 1/2 in JIC female to female hoses in various lengths.

Retired

I've had a Mahindra for 6 years now and never had a problem with it. Several of my friends with other brands are impressed with the strength and reliability of it. Adding that to not having to add DEF and not dealing with "regen" issues, this has been a great tractor.

Please excuse me if this has already been asked/answered, I've been looking around and haven't seen anything like this. I am looking to add a third function to the FEL (grapple) as well as the backhoe (thumb). Can I "T" the lines to give a connection for both the front and the back from the...

I have had 4 Mr Cool DIY mini-split systems in operation for the last 5 years. 2 - 12k 1 - 18k and one 30k BTU and they are amazing and much less expensive than the "professionally installed systems". I'm sure prices have gone up by now but my systems cost me less than $1k per ton for 22 seer...

Planned on getting a set of OTT tracks to use in real muddy conditions as well as out in the woods. Has anyone had any experience with TracksPlus Steel Skid-Steer Tracks ? They are listed at Northern Tool as well as my local JD dealer. I will not be using these all of the time so I don't want...

Mainly I am looking to maintain the sides of my 1.5 mile private road. Keeping the brush cleared back makes ditch and road maintenance easier. I have been PM'ing Jack Yuan about the ditch mowers and was on the verge of buying one of the Nova models but, A boom mount would be significantly...

http://www.value-leader.com/vl-am-boom-flail-mower-vl-am80/ I have some areas along the side of my (private) road as well as my tree line I would like to keep trimmed down. I have been looking at various "ditch bank mowers" and sickle bar mowers, but none of them take care of all of my needs...

I have to agree with bitternut, my 20' tilt pivots behind the rear axle. Seems to me, pivoting between the axle's would require the bed to be higher to clear the axle.

A little background, My wife and I retired from the Navy. Me, early retirement at 17 years, her 20 years. Our plan was to get some land, semi rural, but close enough to family and bigger cities to be convenient. We ended up with 20 acres at the tail end of a 1.5 mile private gravel road (good...

Our toy .... And working on our gravel road ..... Pissing off the people in the new sub-division they built along side of our gravel road.

We finally got our power back and yesterday they cleared the trees blocking one of the main roads we use to get back here. 4025 preformed flawlessly, first providing PTO power to the 16KW generator that provided our power, then cleaning up trees that were blown over. On a side note, over the...

My favorite was always the local NJ weather girl during Sandy ...

Last weekend My wonderful bride and I rode the "Tail of the Dragon" ... Not too bad for a couple of old, disabled, retired Navy Chiefs ... (She switched to 3 wheels when she turned 64)

Need to replace the clutch plates for the PTO on my X495. Any one have any hints, tips, tricks to make the job easier ???

My sisters dog, "chillin" on a hot summer day ......

JD X495 with 24hp Diesel 54" hydraulic blade and 3pt hitch make this a real workhorse. Great for moving and leveling dirt and gravel. Perfect for the 2 - 3 times a year we get snow here. I throw on the 62" mower deck to keep the yard in shape.

Decided to get my "Last Trailer I Will Ever Buy".... 16.5K 4' + 20' tilt bed. I pull it with a 99 F350 "Powerstroke". This can handle anything I will ever tow including the tractor, cars, Goldwing, wife's CanAM Spyder, etc .... . Anything I need to move that is bigger, I will pay...

Tell me more about recycled asphalt .... I am currently (helping) maintaining a mile and a half 1 lane gravel road. The previous guy kept it narrow with a high crown, We have been flattening and widening the road along with reworking the ditches on either side. I have been adding about 150...

Conference under the bed .....

I use a 16K 20' + 4' tilt bed to haul just about anything I need. The lower deck makes life a lot easier for loading / unloading. And the straight back edge make it easy to load things with an odd number of wheels .... I have not run into a problem with the fenders being in the way ...

Rustoleum has a line of farm and implement paint that matches great (Farm & Implement). I just refurbed an AMT 626 using the Rustoleum "John Deere" paints. They do list Kubota Orange as one of the available colors.

After we retired, my wife decided I was having too much fun with my bike. So for her 60th birthday she got her motorcycle licence and after a few different bikes she settled on a Spyder to match my Wing !!!

Just a little digging and a quick push and some more oak firewood ......

Hey KoR, I'm with you. I looked a long time for a "Last Trailer I'll Ever Buy". Checked out the major brands as well as 2 manufacturing plants in NC. I bought the GatorMade 16K Tandem tilt bed. I didn't want to deal with ramps anymore plus I needed something I could load my wife's Spyder and my...

I was looking for a new "Last Trailer I Will Ever Buy" .... I needed it to be big and strong enough to haul my Mahindra 4025 with a FEL and backhoe as well as easy enough for me to use hauling motorcycles. Ramps were out because my wife rides a Can Am Spyder (3 wheels) and I also have a JD AMT...

I am like you, I went with a 16K 20' + 4' tilt bed. The 4' stationary is big enough for my needs and I really like the low bed tilt. easy to load anthing including my wife's Can-Am - Spyder 3 wheel motorcycle. The Gator has a much stronger gooseneck made out of 12" "I" beams and the frame is...

Anybody try this ??? Front end loaders for John Deere tractors | Little Buck Loader I need a small / light duty loader at a reasonable price for some jobs. The max width I can use is 48" so I am kind off limited. John Deere dealer said they discontinued the 45 series loader (and that was more...
