I always checked mine by substituting with a known good one that was always around the shop. Coils can be weird in their failure modes so swapping out always worked best for me.

Yup me too. I’ve tried twice to put and keep cameras working in a barn 100’ away from the router. Here’s what I learned Those Extenders are essentially useless. if You can get a weak but working signal upon setup don’t get all giggly and think it will work for long. Extenders added =...

I have a few Yeti people gave me and though I hate the company they make really great cups. we have a big one and it’s just too big to take out on the tractor and lawn mower. Too top heavy to behave in a cup holder. The smaller ones bounce around a bit but stay put unless they are swept...

Those little humps will dump you so easily because they sneak up on you . I leave the backhoe on mine and it’s stable as a rock without loaded tires . Even a mower deck adds a big dose of stability.

For a 4x8 two pieces of 8’ tin and an 8’ drip edge and a couple handful of screws and a drill driver would have you finished within an hour and a much stronger roof in the bargain you will likely never have to touch again.

You should be able to see by counting the number of bars indicated how clogged up your exhaust is. My 1736 goes off between 40 and 60 hours pretty religiously. What it can do though is not go off on time until it triggers an alarm. That alarm won’t shut off, no matter what you do. When mine does...

I’ve had one for about 8 years now and in shale country mine has but one small nick in one serrated tooth. Do grab that can of red or orange paint and paint the tips of both outboard teeth. Your body will appreciate it later as you step too quickly across the front and get too close...

Just be careful straightening those things with a press. I had something similar done years back and one guy wouldn’t touch it while another guy did. The reasoning was with the first shop he had had a couple of bad experiences. Apparently those things can slide out from under the press and try...

Dont you just love the way the so called powers that be change the language to suit their narrative! “ Encounter “ is the new polite version of was once referred to as ”attacked”. 🤔

I once tried pink bondo on my door bottom. It really isn’t the greatest stuff in the world As it absorbs water like a sponge. It’s good for a few years if you can seal it well enough. either way I’m not impressed with the stuff much though I’ve used it For decades on my old cars. I Found...

I assume this goes to Oil furnnace or boiler. It must have a shut off where the bung is you referred to. Can’t you simply unhook the line at the appliance and let it drain into 5 gallon cans to take where you need one at the time.? It’s a little slow but not really much slower than any...

It can’t hurt any so long as it doesn’t make a binding dragging surface so I wouldn’t build it up too deep. Your real problem with wooden windows is the water that runs down outside the glass and gets into the lowest part of the casing where it meets the window. That’s where your problems come...

Even at 40 years old, it shouldn’t even be close to beginning to start the leak with the exception of your nail holes. having used both I wouldn’t go near nails again if you gave them to me. I just took a garage roof 6 years ago that I built in 1990 roughly. The seals under those common seal...

Generally speaking, if it’s a Honda, it’s interference engine and if it breaks, you’ll almost surely trash an engine. Back in the early 80s those Hondas wanted changed around 80,000 miles. Sometime later they went to a lightweight belt and lowered the requirement to 60K I think. I...

metal screws seem to have about a 10 year life span before heat and UV exposure makes them start leaking. I beg to differ on this one. I’ve got some screws I put on a purloin metal roof from 1990 ish . I pulled that old garage down in 2018 and aside from some minor surface rust they were...

How those things take a beating along the waterline. What’s that from scrubbing along the locks and on that blunt nose crashing through ice. I grew up on the St. Lawrence used to go on see them all the time in the 60s and 70s. I never recall, seeing that much paint knocked off most of them in...

We got ours back in the day DSL via the local provider Westelcom. It always was plenty fast enough for us. They more or less forced us to put in Fiberoptic last year or pay as much or more not to have it. I got to dig a 200’ trench and pipe it which wasn’t fun as I had to air chisel...

I’m still waiting to hear of a decent alternative myself. The last time I got one from NAPA it cost as much or more as the local dealership. Since they are a local outfit that’s family run and small acreage rather that big buck mega farm oriented I’m still getting mine there 10 years on...

Damn, I’ve had one of those things sitting in the field for at least 20 -25 years becoming one with the grass. I got it for $99 to my door to find it wouldn’t fit anything I had. I was hot and heavy into welding about that time to boot. Unfortunately I never dreamed I could just bend the...

Never mind I FOUND IT🤬. Take a look at those cotter pins! That’s how I found them in the hub caps . I ALMOST priefd those off got a peek but the I thought 😩nawww this is straight from the assembly line so it’s FINE. I’ll post a couple pics Jan’s that’s just as I found them . Who or...

Ok I just put together an 52”Ohio Steel lawn sweeper yesterday. I carefully used it a couple hours raking up the built up grass in the yard. I do mean carefully too. Regular mowing speed no logs rocks ect . looking back I see a wheel fell off . Then I see the wheel has some good...

It’s way up on the side actually. Like i said a sneaky flexi single bush got up there somehow and plucked it right off the injector. Can’t blame the manufacturer for leaving it out in the breeze just a sneaky talent branch. Chopping down the ever encroaching edge brush certainly doe...

I found it👍🏻. It was one of those sneaky sappy bushes that unplugged the electric plug to the injectors. Took 1 seconds to reattach but a half hour of chain saw and weed whacker action so I could get in there and see what was goin on.

It had to die mowing the extreme edge of the field s right in some brush which makes carefully looking it over rough. No issues, no overheat plenty of fuel just quit:cry:. any idea what I’m looking for here before I drag it back in to check it out. I’m getting an engine symbol illumination...

Thanks. I ended up grabbing an old Polaris ATV drive axle boot . I didn’t put it on yet but I can make it work.

My 2014 1736 Massey has torn a steering arm boot. I thought I just buy a boot down at the dealer, but was not surprised to find out that they only sell the whole arm. Of course the dealer said go find one somewhere that fits it, I started looking around and found that They’re not as easy to...

Did they SWAT the guy🤗 or play negotiation games while checking his most recent gender identification choice🤔

I run mine through a Mr Funnel. It takes everything out very nicely in my experience. it slows things down a bit but gets the crud rust and water out. I just dump what remains in mines sump into a glass jar and store it in a sealed box. When the quart jar is full I cycle the good stuff...

All I can tell you is the generic answer to these hoes. If possible when putting it on try yo have 2 people. Much easier. Second is flat and LEVEL. If it’s not you will swear a lot things will get out of control ect. it better be leave from tractor front to rear of hoe ...

Seriously don’t get too carried away with neat n tidy. I started the snowplow blade 4 years back with oxypropane then got sick of it ( I suck at cutting). Then gave up and finished either a 7 1/4” disk on my skill saw. A cutoff blade on a small grinder works too. This time I...

I drove a Camaro. Nothing special but still......... Anybody showing up with one of those things would NEVER get any. Even if you did you would tear a muscle somewhere in one of those things getting busy in the back. Even the back of my 72 Vega GT was workable, barely but that thing...

We put one of these on my son in laws truck plow for early season plowing before the ground was frozen. Some pro snowplow mechanic told me about it and like most things Id never heard of it. Boy did it work great. So well in fact that we just leave it on permanently riding on the...

My son in law is looking for a general use around the property tractor a bit smaller than my Massey 1736. He wants enough weight but not quite the bulk of mine but still be able to plow some snow run a 5' hog and do general work around the property. He is also interested in a back hoe...

I don’t cut an awful lot of field . When I do though my Massey gets cLogged up usually in the fins of the radiator. I watch for the graduL rise. Then hit it with high pressure air.to clean the rad fins and screens, just be careful not to fold over those fins. Don’t forget to blow out the...

I shared a hangar with one of those yaks . What a big heavy beast. The aluminum in that things front leading edge felt 3x what my Cessna had. it was like the difference between tapping my 2018 Camrays beer can door compared to a 1962 Caddy. Judging by how mangled that wings front spar...

That’s engine speed definitely has an effect. Even With the backhoe I seldom run it at the 1800 rpm they call for. 1500 definitely makes handling the hoe a lot more accurate for me . Honestly the full 1800 can be a liability if you are swing around in close proximity to trees and such...

try that black dial under the seat and see if it will slow things down for you. I think you’ll find that you get used to shorter gentler actions even if it doesn’t. Like my buddy said. You won’t get the same degree of feel as you will with the big boys Though, yea I’m jealous…..

I’ve had a Simplicit’s Regent 48” since 2016. all I can say is it’s essentially the same as a similar JD for 1/3 more. Nothing holds up better. Belts like to eat themselves yearly and parts are quite a bit more than JD. That fabricated deck I wanted seems too heavy for the machine and...

I back drag a lot with never an issue even in the tough clay around here. Its not that hard to do but the big consideration is taking your time. Don’t go ramming or using momentum to do the job. As with most injury incidents if you start yo get pissed off QUIT. Quit or go do something...

I致e had an old Dearborn 3 pt 7 blade forever using it for my snow removal. It痴 on my 1736 now and work it in conjunction with my loader . I have rear remotes and do have the CB 20 backhoe that痴 stored during winter. My plan add a hydraulic cyl so I cab angle the blade without...

We are looking at one of these someone has for sale. It has what looks like the standard pinned bucket and QD hoe. The asking price is $13,500. So what are these going for in that configuration ? How about the new models? I知 not seeing much info on thes on the net. Any particular...

My Massey has a sight glass. Great theory lousy in practice. Ya just can稚 tell if it痴 under or overfilled. Do they make dome sort of visibility dye for hydraulic oil ? Thanks

My 1736 is good gor 3000 lbs at the end of the arms. So what are my consideration for general purpose lifting forks? I don稚 wanna get something overly heavy it値l pick up more than the tractor is capable of but I want them as long as I possibly can 48 inches I知 thinking. I see 42 and 46 inch are...

It痴 at the base of the ROPS on my 1736 and I need to rewire it I can稚 locate the tiny tab:confused:

I[/ATTACH]Arregggghhhh this just DONT LOOK RIGHT. Hereç—´ the best pic mr tire will allow That vertical hole is one of the front lower ones not used. Itç—´ on the front end of the lower axle pad. Ahead of it os the spacer pipe for those front mounting bolts. You can see itç—´ got...

Here痴 the situation. Mine a 2014 with an OEM backhoe setup. When I went to put mine on after being off all winter I noticed it felt loose. Looking under there I saw a couple of those long 8 x 13MM bolts With the spacer sleeve that saddle the subframe to the axle were missing. No big...

I致e got the typical tree line burdock scrub encroachment that痴 been going on forever. I don稚 hay the field but I do mine with a 5 foot brush hog deck behind my Massey. Tell me is there anyway to get my deck to offset further To one side about buying any special gear? I keep ripping loose my...

Your Riding Lawn Mower Tractor's Dirty Little Secret ? Video - YouTube I致e watched some of this guys fix it videos and he痴 good. Take a look at this simple bearing hack. It really does make you wonder why manufacturers do the dumb things they do.........enjoy

I tried to stick on safety cables today to secure those springs, :thumbdown: No way they are going on there fully through to full extension and be left on there. Way too much slack with the gate up and spring slack about 3 feet . Plenty to get into things undesired even onto the wheel...

Does this need something yellow metal safe GL1( seems hard to find) or can I just go with a high quality synthetic ? If so what that痴 readily available without a typical 💸💸 dealer pricing? Thanks

I蛟､l see if i have a pic of the hinge. It逞ｴ pretty darned simplistic being a piece of old 3/4 or 1/2 water pipe with a long pin shoved through them . I forget which it was but just a nice loose fit. I laid both pieces upside down on saw horses. Then slid all the pipe sections on...

Well I finally got it fixed and working. It looked pretty simplistic when youre staring at it but in fact it was hard to find a spring system that didnt interfere with that gate latch or have clearance issues or location issue somewhere else. In the end it was quite a head scratcher but a simple...

Here it is in its glory . I Want to try to make this thing so it folds just like that but has removable pinned hinges or some sort of hinge you to wait. Any brilliant ideas or pictures on a homemade hinge that doesn稚 weigh a ton and fold all the way over when the weight is on it. I...

its a nice trailer but sits very high on 225 75 14 tires . It is nice and level as it sits on the truck . The problem is the fold down gate is too short. It gives it a very high approach angle so the JD riding mower just drags across the fold where the gate mounts. I couldn稚 find...

I bought some yesterday to change mine and I think it was $36.95. And yeah it痴 meets the criteria so it痴 good enough For my machine. I just thought I give anybody the heads up since that痴 the best price I致e seen. Still no alternative to the $50 OEM filter though. Traveller Premium...

Ok i cat sick and tired of putting bolts and nuts on my ****** field cutter from tractor supply. So I got the clutch and now I see that it doesn稚 match the yoke which on the existing rig is smoothbore as in the picture I suppose I have to get a yoke because iThat fits way too sloppy to leave...

I guess I should’ve done this in the first place this is a picture of this thing I guess I should’ve done this in the first place tiki this is a picture of this thing. Well used but still kicking

Yeah it痴 a tractor supply yellow I think land pride whatever they sell model and not the thickest to be sure. But after 10 years or so of banging around through the usual stuff it痴 chopped enough of a circular hole in the deck lid that I got to do something with it besides stuff some more Weld...

It痴 a Swisher ZTR 2005 and not my machine. I知 just fixing it for a guy and he mentioned it in passing. Like the title says even if it starts raining while he痴 mowing it can die on the run. Leave it out on a damp night won稚 start. It has only 360 hours on it as he doesn稚 use it much for...

I don't drive my tractor got on the highway much but recently I've had reason to drive on the side of the state road on a regular basis which I never am too comfortable with knowing how people drive. I hate not being able to control what's coming up On me back there and like to keep an eye on...

I have one of those tractor supply yellow five footers that's 10 years old and of course starting to show it being made out of thin steel, China's finest. Everything else. Is OK but it's starting to cut through in the usual spots on the top and I've been thinking about just making my own...

We bought this new in August 15 when my 3 point rig blew out a spindle . It mows ok and closer than the big tow rig did sure but isn't all that special. 80 hours on it and doesn't it start tossing the belt every time it engages unless it is near stall RPM. I tear the covers off the...

I notice some gunk in the fuel oil I burn in mine as well. I just pour it through a Mr. Funnel and my pre filter stays clean as a whistle.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]518551[/ATTACH. They don't even really look the same

I have a massive 1736 tractor with the factory sub frame mounted Backhoe. The thing works great for the size of it and has a 16 inch bucket. My issue seems to be the teeth getting ripped off It. It's peeled off about five teeth so far fairly big job for the size of the machine but I...

I scrubbed one of mine on a rock and distorted it enough the grease goes out all over with none in the axle. I pull it and go to the Hardware store. The guy who really knows his stuff hands me a couple SAE and of course I never check because he's really that good. Get home ahhhhhh...

So I look at best hardware store around and they got nothin... I finally head over to the dealer. He says I'll give you one since you bought the tractor from me. I'm sure glad he did because with tax one of those is right around😭 $25. Holy crap. I thought the filters were nuts...

I think I just found an easy solution. $7 amazon

I have a Massey ( Isseki) backhoe on my tractor. I'm curious if there's a better way to get at that grease fittings thats buried deep inside the top of that first vertical section of the hoe arm. The one that said the top of the cylinder. That beast is buried way in there and naturally it...

My daughters boyfriend showed me his machine saying the axle had dropped and twisted. Boy was it. The whole transaxle had sheared off one side and 75% of the other. Both of the braces were broken right off as well. It looked like the pictures of the Husky's that people are raging...

I have been doing this a while now and have lot's and lots of practice because we have enough rocks to make Fred Flintstone cry. Lots of fractured shale and of course the always popular roundhead. I think just yesterday and today I loaded about 5 tons of the wonderful things taking them and...

I see more and more things seem to have relays these days . I never used any on my old tractors but I don't want to be frying anything on a 2014 Massey with all it's computer goodies either. I plan on adding just a pair of 18 watt square mounts forward and probably a separate rear facing...

Oh but I truly hate that loud beeping. This happened once before but it kicked in and did it's thing eventually with my 2014 1736 Massey. This time it's showing all the bars and not showing any sign of regenerating. Hours total on machine 260. I tried holding the button , running it...

Make some impeller SNOW SEALS . Look it up on youtube for the details but it involves nothing more than a few pieces of old rubber belt, tread mill belt, mud guard or similar and a few self tapping sheep metal screws. That's it. Just cut the rubber so it's an interference fit on the...

I have a Massey backhoe about a year and a half old. One of the little pins that holds one of the center teeth in place is starting to work its way out. I tried to tap it in with a hammer but of course the next tooth keeps me from getting a good swing at it. What's the recommended way to...

You just gotta have a shovel and rake when working in the dirt, at least I do. I used to have a piece of 2" pipe welded across the arms of my ancient POS 230 Farmall. Not like I am going to do that sort of thing to my new one. So with an open station rig like I have on the picture in...

I use one of those paint strainers like the one above for my filtering. I have a medium sized Mr. Funnel and find it's just way too slow so I rarely use it. The paint strainer works great for everything and costs just a couple bucks and has a nice stainless screen. I haul a lot of...

Had this tractor a year and it has about 160 hours and has regened at least 3 times. No issues no problem ever it just smelled hotter and did whatever it did while I was using it. Now today my daughter was brush hogging and it started beeping. After it driving her nuts for a while she got...

I got this rig last summer 1736 Massey with a CB20 hoe. Works nice and all that . Problem is that when I started letting it sit a few days to few weeks begging last winter the arm and stabilizers began to settle a bit. Around 100 hrs on tractor then 15 hrs use. No big deal. The last...

US made 20 years old and the blades need to come down to take off the gear box. Won't budge, heat , Penetrant flooding for a week , more heat:confused:. This pig won't budge. The top of the deck is flexing around which makes it all the harder too. I gotta get this pig apart so I...

I know this is the curse of buying a new model, the search for something remotely reasonable replacement filters. I dropped by the dealer the other day to look into a new filter so I would have one on hand (fuel). Talk about nuts, $80 for a small drop in fuel filter. No wonder AGCO's stock...

This is the city crew in Garmisch Bavaria this afternoon cleaning up the commons where 2 big streets meet in a bit of a circle. These guys hit it in teams. No loadering into a truck they just push it into windrows and the use the blower to fill the truck. There is a bicycle right in...

The other weapon of choice for almost all standard duty work around here in Bavaria is the Unimog. Some of these little beasts are old as the hills yet still chugging around in their orange paint and reflective stripes. Those guys are always up on the logging trails working away as well as...

Sort of an odd duck isn't it? Not for road use but more for cleaning up the public squares and in front of municipal buildings I guess. I saw this little guy in former street which is now a pedestrian only zone in downtown Garmisch Germany. I can't tell what it is and it's surely painted...

I just recently graduated from the pin on stuff so this SSQD is a tad new to me. One of the handles you pull up to retract the pins is floppy and getting worse with just under 100 hours on the tractor. Of course it was dark ,not the best conditions to figure this out so it will wait till...

It's good till Oct 31 on their synthetics with a receipt and printed out emailed deal. 2 per household, the usual. Probably overpriced at $21 and some change at Wallymart . Since it's the first oil change on a brand new (50)hours on it tractor that's going to get used in -20 F conditions...

This is how it looks parked for mowing a field. Another note on the crap manual. Make sure to unloop the hydraulic lines from the holder clip before you attempt to separate it. :confused2: That goes along with the break in procedure to "run at full throttle for 50 hrs" break in...

There are the 1736 pics that I finally figured out how to post.:confused2:

This pertains to any tires but especially car tires and the like. They festoon the entire sides with all their bull&^%$ along with the required goobledygoop in big huge letters. The one thing that is hard to find and read is the only thing you really gotta gotta know, the inflation specs...

I noticed in the last 15 years how tires mostly just seem to crack and rot . For a long time I thought it was Chinese tires as they are absolutely the worst. Then as time went on I found even US manufacturers made junk when it was manufactured in China. So the theory went until this year...

I fabed up a couple of squares of bracing the other day using a piece of scrap steel from an old structural I beam. I/4" by 4" across. I put that in my chop saw and had one **** of a time cutting it. In the end it got the gas axe treatment which was good enough for the task. It welded...

I finally got my new 1736 and got a sweet 28% discount via the Massey Equine Program. Nice tractor w/ Mitsubishi engine. First new anything tractor I ever owned my newest prior being 1959. Lots of newer nicer goodies along with all the newer nicer electronics and safety goodies to go...

The front's on my TO 20 Ferguson needs new front shoes. So in this new day and age where nearly all tires are made of recycled condoms and Chinese road tar where are people getting their tires? You know, something that isn't going to weather check BEFORE next Summer. So how about it, any...

After buying a Ferguson TO 20 17 years ago with worn out chains and nursing them along till now I finally lost track of them so I am using the occasion to get new ones. My Tractor has oversize tires 11.2 by 28's. The cheapest I can find believe it or not is Tractor Supply. Of course...

A guy I know is giving me his 26" walk behind MTD snowblower that has a blown Tecumsa 11 hp. The machine is in nice shape besides the motor. I found this on Fleabay and was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of these motors made by LIPAN? 13 hp electric start for $350, the price is...

I have a no name finish mower 72" that has lasted well enough the last 13 years or so. I have had it long enough that I forgot the name of the thing even as I never could get any parts by name. It's made In the Carolina's by some outfit that if memory serves makes spray equipment for it's...
