    Flail Mower  Caroni Flail Roller Bearings

    I did not use enough grease. Now I have to try and dig out what's left of the circlip to pull the remainder of the bearing race. I was able to knock off the inner race from the support plate. Worse yet, I have to rebuild both ends. I really don't want to buy a new roller @ $500. BTW, I...

    I have a cracked power steering line. It goes from the right side hydraulic ram to a block on the steering column. How can I tell the difference between the feed side and the return side? It's about a $30 part, so I don't want to buy em both if I can help it. The tractor is a 1986 Ford 3910...

    Caroni Flail Belt Failure

    My belts failed. I have 10-15 hours on the flail. Both the power and rotor shaft turn freely by hand. There was no noise or smell of burning rubber. After a few hours of first using the Caroni, I checked the belt tension and they were a bit slack. I tightened them up a wee bit. As there is a...

I want land that I can drive a normal...

    First time plowing

    I did my first plowing today. There is a learning curve and it got easier as I went along. There was some roots to cut and a few of them tripped the shear mechanism thing. I found it snaps back in place. The grand day out finished when I was going over a already plowed piece and the tractor...

    Cat I plow to Cat II tractor

    . I bought a 2 bottom plow to renovate some ground that has not been worked in a long time. The plow has a stubby Cat I pin that is machined as part of the plow. It's to short to use an adaptor on as the lift arm is a bit wider then the pin with nowhere to use the lynch pin. I welded 2...
