    2 post or 4 post vehicle lift ideas

    I have a 9000lb 2 post that has been real handy, although I would not try to lift a tractor on it. Even my F350 is pushing it. I put in 6" of high psi concrete and lots of rebar. I would put 2 doors on the same wall and one on the end. Having door on each end of the lift is a waste of a door...

    Future electric oil

    Ontario is usually 46% nuclear, 40% hydro, 8% gas and the rest is wind/solar/bio. The uninformed public wants to get rid of gas and get more solar and wind but you'd have to clearcut half the provincial parks to have enough panels. My power at home is usually out 3 or 4 times a year and...

    Hydraulic pump whine, massey/agco/iseki

    The filter number is 3607790M1. I haven't taken the old pump apart yet, but pretty sure it was cavitation from lack of flow that caused it.

    Oil Change intervals?

    I change the oil annually, as its cheap insurance.

    Really, really dumb question about difference between off road and on road diesel fuel.

    In Ontario that is not allowed, even if registered as a farm truck. Any vehicle with a license plate is not allowed to run dyed diesel. Best to check your provincial regs...

    Really, really dumb question about difference between off road and on road diesel fuel.

    I believe (in Ontario) the furnace fuel has kerosene added to it for winter burning to avoid gelling? The dyed diesel near me is 30-40 cents per gallon cheaper, so its not a great savings.

    What happened to Massey Ferguson?

    Was at the MF dealer nearest me last week and they have a big new McCormick sign on the building now. I dont see many MF around me anymore, but could be because of that old MF dealer that turned people off. Kubota is 4 miles away, JD is 10 miles also. Funny enough, when I drove to the MF...

    Hydraulic pump whine, massey/agco/iseki

    Thanks. I bought one of the 51664 filters and it doesnt fit. There is only 1 filter on this tractor, on the suction side of the pump. The filter that was on it when i bought it was grey and only had 1 number on it "1720". I cannot find any info on that filter anywhere. So i tried the...

    Rear Hydraulics

    We always just used a bungee cord on our john deere. Not fancy but it worked. I use a gas splitter now, as a 6.5hp engine is cheap and easy. Tractors are getting expensive to maintain.

    Hydraulic pump whine, massey/agco/iseki

    Hello all, I have an Agco ST41A, which is the same tractor as a Massey 1540, made in Japan by Iseki. The tractor developed hydraulic issues last fall and I'm trying to diagnose before spring. Symptoms were intermittent loss of Hydraulics and definitely whining and chattering noise from the...
