I was thinking glow plugs, I will see if they crack easy.

that would depend on balance, where the weight is and ratios, as well as tread pattern.

no one touched an old inter diesel ? anyone ?

Hi All, I have a old 414 that is outside, we had lot of rain this winter, anyway just went to see how the old girl is as have some chores, and found the intake filter full of water, so naturally it has made it's way into at least some cylinders. Of course I want to get it going ASAP as I do...

Yeah, I get what your saying if it is a violent rollover, I guess ppl down here do not drive around so fast, an accident is just that, but some people are either brain dead, careless, reckless or a combo of any or all 3. I have been in car accidents with belts and without, at far higher speed...

Well my tractor was made in the 60s, another the 80s, both have roll bars, neither has a seatbelt & I do not want one either. With a seatbelt or without, your arms and legs could still be crushed, without a seatbelt you would have to jump in front of the bars downward path I imagine to get your...

The roll over protection really is not a bother, I do have some trees and low lying stuff and it helps remove some of it, you just have to watch out for what springs back, some branches do not break (do not ask me how I know). Seatbelts on tractors, mowers, etc etc is overkill IMO, anyways...

All you ppl with thin folding things, can't do that on real tractors :cool:

That is why you never have just one :)

Hello all, Anyone with any exp with Iseki tractor ? I have a slow leak in a few spots, anyway need to top up hydraulic fluid. Seems there is a dipstick in centre console area behind shifter and a bolt type plug nearby, however the tube you can fit in there is a bout a quarter inch ...

Do not tell my 2 40hp tractors what they can and cannot do, you may be surprised. if with low gearing, even a 2wd old Inter tractor can pull a 7ft chisel in dry ish clay, on a slope mind you with rock in ground too....lol the limiting factor is weight/traction and lift ability of the...

Anyone who has jumped a car of just a few ft ramp will know how bone jarring it is to hit the ground. That mustang jump would have hurt a lot, and results to the car are what you would expect. I think I watched too many of them movies when I was young, I am not sure how my old dodge dart even...

It is a doggone shame that there is ! What about shows like the blues bros....etc etc I always thought wrecking cars like that in shows was a bit, well, lacking of grey matter......but I am too practical ! lot of things done for fun is a big waste, like, urmmmm, monster trucks etc

They are too heavy and damage gravel roads, this is why they have extra tax at sale time :)

Yeah, pretty much, I can think of many downsides too if I want to pick holes at this stage, but like your dads advice, I will roll with it, prob because I have an electrical background and understand all the aspects. Electric is not without cost or pollution, people need to ack that, but short...

Yes, that is right, they are electric and electric diesel here too, but either way, the work is done by electric. I like this forum, but so many are really stuck so far in the past it is not funny. It is idiotic that we have been burning oil for so long frankly, should have been phasing it out...

Electric actually is better for pulling loads, this is the vehicle itselfs issue and probably way overloaded. Trains are all electric. Torque +

The issue with fuel/oil, is it is a finite supply, we cannot wait another million years to produce more once it has gone. Electric and hydrogen are alternatives. So may as well get used to electric as that is what Elon has managed to get traction on, down under we were working on hydrogen.

Sheep/cattle.... I only have small area here but sheep keep it perfect. you can slightly understock, or over if you like th eno grass look :p

The US is clearly lucky to have Musk, it is baffling that the Fed seems to shun him ..... at least he has a go back at the many digs.

Moral to the story, stealerships have a new weapon to try and get more money from mostly people who worry about things. Govts should unite to force all manufacturers to mandate use of a common plug and protocol so anyone can buy and use simple cheap diagnostic equipment, and those who do own...

Don't mind if I borrow it for a few days do you ? It may come back broken, it will def smell different ! he he

lol...not wrong, even the Chinese are falling for our dumbed down ways, I bought some electronics, the chunk of the manual was about how too not to harm yourself, with the wrapping, but putting electric items in water, etc etc..... We need some events to weed out the misfits me thinks, but it...

What may be more accurate is actual ground pressure. We all know what happens with a lot of weight on the rear to our steering :) I had to take fluid out of old inter tractor and other Jap one, frankly, they perform the same with R1's as far as I can tell, maybe even better when I have been in...

Half the problem now with the western world is we have to have 10 layers of red tape and 20 layers of bubble wrap on everyone. What are the options in the video case ? do it by hand ? I mean, what I saw was not what I call extremely dangerous, it is a mild gradient, he has a blade at front and...

We have different types of trucks down here, Jap ones mainly now as ford and GM went by by, but they all are 1 tonne plus, I cannot work out how you have such huge utes, but many are half ton....that is nothing. Anyway, no carpet in real utes, I do not like getting of the tractor and having mud...

Well, you cannot add weight if you wish. I can see them getting mashed easily. They will not be as durable, one of my tractors has tyres over 20 years old and still fine. What do you do if you rip some ribs ? What will happen if your in a clay bog and trying to get out, will the ribs cope ...

Yes, that Dukes of Hazard is all BS as it is not good to jump a car to avoid traffic.

eeek....do not start cutting things or harness, that is not how you diagnose ! as an auto spark, I can tell you not much without knowing the setup, ask the dealers mechanic first maybe if you do not have the electrical skills to diagnose. I have 2 older tractors and both are mechanical...

it is achieving little...

Working well within the specs and limits of course.....:cool:

Down here companies will come and collect any scrap metal. They even pay sometimes. But I would hire a dozer or tracked loader, scrape it into piles, then load into trucks or whatever. If you have some areas you want to fill, you could scrape enough up and use it to fill elsewhere on the...

Well, here down under, you cannot even have loose tools or items in your ute tray, they all must be secured or covered so they cannot make way onto the road, we are a bit too far the other way, as some things could not come out unless you rolled & they would be out then anyways... Items on a...

I dunno, 50w engine oil can be had real cheap down here at times, I rely on wood shavings to thicken it somewhat further....lol

FWIW I buy the cheap motor oil packs when on sale and have used that in all my saws, but, I am not doing any sort of large volume, so others mileage may vary....but chain oil is about twice as expensive to 3 times compared to cheap decent motor oil.

On small engines that get left for some time I use a local made stabiliser that also cleans and takes care of moisture and fungus, a lot of small engines can get gummed up real easy, so they need something if not always being used. The ethanol is not the issue.

Yeah, from 3pl as others say... Look at ways to stop it unscrewing, it should not, and, your 3pl arm will be flapping around and may be able to cut into tyre or get jammed, so if you do not use it, you prob need to strap the arms or adjust and fix so they cannot wander into the tyre, or, keep...

Oh, also, they have low range......and steer is not an issue when moving, keeps you fit in the upper body ....

The old massey greys do this too with a slasher..... Look at an old inter maybe, diesel 275 or 414, they can do groundwork too, 3pl has good capacity. No power steering and pto is 2 stage clutch........they have uses, but tractors from 80s are better most likely, but nowhere near as cheap and...

Your land size is irrelvant. The tasks you know of is very relevant.....but the ones you do not know of yet may bug you later.... I have 2 40hp jobs.......older, no fel unfort, but I manage with the 3pl and they can lift about 1600lbs or so safely. Frankly, they are too small to have a...

Down here we have many corded and cordless options. My plug in one has oregon chain and bar and will do everything a 58cc saw will do, just quieter, if you have power close by...... I like yo use it around home when solar is producing power.... Cordless, have an 18v ryobi, it is ok for...

My inter has been slowly getting worse at lifting the 3pl, anyways, drain plug removed and nothing comes out.....so that is a problem.....lol. The fill point actually has a hydraulic return valve screwed into it, so, are there any other ways too fill or add oil ? Can the return valve be held...

My inter has been slowly getting worse at lifting the 3pl, anyways, drain plug removed and nothing comes out.....so that is a problem.....lol. So, now, I found the fill point actually has a hydraulic return valve screwed into it, so, are there any other ways too fill or add oil ? Can the retun...

Hi All, Thoughts, pros and cons on CK30 ? I can get one that is 2009, 500 hrs, FEL seems to be able to lift about 1200lbs, I regularly pick up or have things in this weight range too move. I use a couple of older tractors with forks on rear, the forks can pick up near 2200lbs, but , yeah...

Do you have listening devices and cameras and GPS on your attachments ? You spyin on us ?

Hi All, You will have to bear with me, I have to do everything upside down, but I am wondering....... We have something often called a "slasher" But I see you all call them... Bush Hogs or Brush Hog Where does the hog come into it or from ? I could understand... Brush mower Brush...

Hi All, I have no user manual or specs on the Iseki TE 4370 which is same as Whites Field boss 37 from memory, anyway, the front of the tractor has what looks like a pressed steel plate that protrudes, the URL below has some images that show this front plate and you will not see any bolts...

Hi All, My tractors are 60's era and 80's era. I have some plastic barrels that contained food oils, and am wondering if I should clean them out and if yes, how best to do it as the holes are standard like on a 44gal metal drum. They had, flax seed oil, evening primrose oil and other food...

Hi all, Going to get a rake for general stick collection and smoothing very small area of gravel, plus whatever else I can think of using it for. My question is, what size do you think is best ? My tractor is a compact and about 5,9 wide, but I may end up down the track with a sub compact...

That is almost every countries problem, even when faced with the reality of poor steel, **** we dig it up, send it out & then buy back poor steel. What will be interesting, is how other things will be effected, someone is going to pay somehow.

Well, you could always change that for outside the states, I would prefer US made than China any day.....but selling here would need to be through somebody, shipping 1 item would likely not work, unless there is shared containers.

Hi All. I have been looking at the implements required to do a vege garden in the old way, i.e turn all the soil over and work it up and down etc, much the way farmers do crops, just on a small scale. On my place near everywhere has a slope of some kind or grade, from minimal to steep, so I...

I could take a guess, but if you know what the lever in the foreground does, please share :)

Hi all, Anyone have these manuals in electronic form ?

Hi all, What attachments will work best for soils that are shallow and rocky.....want to convert some pasture to small plots of things like pumpkin....potoato....brocolli etc I do not think you could drage a plough throug top soil....have been raking up lots of largecand small rocks and have...

Originally, I was thinking some sort of home job, but it has this....

I was really looking for a stick and or garden type landscape rake, but this sort of ended up in my arms. It is a rake.....but.... 1 is not much use for sticks etc, they just pass on through. 2 no good for piling up rocks, even 1ft ones roll out So my thinking was, it would be good for...

Hi All, On the above tractors, when sitting in the seat, just to the left of the gear shift is a lever, it is a short lever, like a lock lever for box or 4WD or something ? Prior owner had no idea what it was for. Anyone know ? I will try and take a shot later. Cheers

Hi All, as per subject on Iseki 4370 or TE4370 or White Field boss 37 Anyone own, owned or used one of these ? I can get one at what seems like a good price, have operated it, everything seems to be reasonable for that age.....motor and gear box all seem normal. What do you have to say...

Hi all, What is this lever for ?

Hi all, So have bitten the bullet on an A414.....I hope there are somevAussies here or that the B414 has same variations. I am very new to tractors, but here are some things I wanted to ask, and I might post some images later too. 1.....Anyone know where you can get a free manual...digital is...

Hi All, An AU A414.....below is an image, I know the high/low and gear shift, what is the lever at the top for ? And at rear it has an Hydraulic out or return, and you can see one near the taps, not sure if that is factory ? I guess it needs a hose run round the back if you want a hydraulic...

Posted this elsewhere, but hoping to hear more about this......... Hi all...looked and drove the inter 434d All seems not bad 4k for a machine with 4k hrs...... No major leaks it seem....started ok an no odd sounds. Rear links had weight and machine would bump or jerk every say 10 or so...

Hi all I can get a well priced C174 with FEL, has bucket, forks and slasher on rear, seller has told me the FEL goes up and down but is slow. Seller used it for mowing close too fences that big tractor was too difficult to use near it is said. If all else runs ok, is this likely to be a big...

Hi all...looked and drove the inter 434d All seems not bad 4k for a machine with 4k hrs...... No major leaks it seem....started ok an no odd sounds. Rear links had weight and machine would bump or jerk every say 10 or so seconds.....is to do with hydraulucs.....if implement put all the way...

Hi All, I am going to look at a small tractor with FEL, I have not been told capacity, but I would guess about 300KG which is about 700lbs Would like to be able to move pallets of stuff around and IBC cage with wood etc, and would be handy to lift this onto a box trailer (or off) On a mid...

Hi All, I am going to go past and have a look at a tractor tomorrow, and then will look at some others in next week or more, I am in the low budget end. I am most interested in using tractor for... a quasi forklift with forks off rear and no FEL will be in my budget if mid size maybe post...
