Anybody know how old this deer is by looking at him? Did not get shot this season. Hope he gets bigger next year.

I have an old hydrant that has started leaking around the nut after someone tried to open the valve while it was frozen. Already tried tightening the nut a couple times but that did not work as it looks like that has been done several times in the past. Hardware store had two types of packing...

We have Raccoons and possums running around our yard at night but my SIL and her husband have something much larger prowling around. I did not know Wisconsin has such a large bear population.

The pictures I see of bobcat backhoes mounted on bobcats have a chain on the base of the frame. The 709 I bought has this chain and a slotted bracket to hook it in. Am I right in assuming this chain is to be wrapped around the QA plate of the bobcat and the bottom of the frame of the backhoe...

I don't know anything about them. Does the 709 have built in stabilizers? I see a lot of them for sale with rust at the base, probably from setting on the ground from lack of use which makes me wonder how well they really work.

I can not find any online reference to the diameter of a 10 pound spool of wire. So am I correct in assuming that a 10 pound spool of .035 Lincoln Innershield NR-211-MP is 8 inches in diameter?

My wife has the sand hill plumbs washed and ripening on trays. When they are fully ripened she bags them for the freezer until she is ready to make jelly.

At work we have a tilt top trailer with tandem 7k axles. Two years ago it got a new set of the proper 16" Kumho trailer tires put on it. The tires don't have 500 miles on them and last time we went to use the trailer it was found that one of the Kumho's had 6" of tread separation from the...

I need to know what pipe thread size of flat face couplers to get to replace the original pioneer style ends on my 1993 7753 Bobcat? I have been using old style to flat face adapters on the auxiliary hydraulic couplers of my Bobcat. That makes them stick out past the lift arm. They are now in...

Been wanting a grapple for years and now I'm done with grapple envy.:cool2: I now have a grapple for my skid steer! It's a 72" NAI (North America Implements) heavy duty root grapple with 1/2" flat tines and reinforced outer points.

Would like to know what Jump Starter / Power Packs other TBN'ers have and the luck they have had with them. My wife just bought me a Super Start power pack #44002 at O'reilly Auto Parts. It's one of the less expensive ones. Super Start® 44002 - Jump Starter | O'Reilly Auto Parts

It's been a few months since LBrown59 posted so was just wondering if something happened to him.

There must be some Dan Tyminski fans here... He does the vocals on Avivii's "Hey Brother" It was released a couple months ago.

This guy was lucky the bullet just glanced off his head. :eek:

7753's Bobcat brand hydraulic fluid level is right in the middle of the dip stick at start up. The dip stick is not showing any sign of the machine useing fluid. It runs fine for a while then I get a HP-2 warning with audible beep. Any help is appreciated.

There has to be members or spouses of members who have a passion for canning. My wife has developed a flair for it over the years. This is the peppers, carrots and onions she preserved this morning.

My wife spent yesterday morning harvesting rhubarb at my grandparent's house (they are in their 90's). Got 13 quarts after cleaning. Most of it is in the freezer waiting to be made into pies and strawberry/rhubarb jam. Grandpa loves rhubarb and has been growing it over 70 years. He has trouble...

Removed a dozen stumps with the new stump bucket grapple. Had to pull out 2 at the same time. Stubborn mulberry, cut down a tree and the stump roots just grow 10' over and start a new tree. Made short work of removing some small stumps. As you can see we are still in drought conditions here...

Just got a new stump bucket grapple for my bobcat. It came with the hydraulic cylinder and I am going get the proper length hoses made for it. Thing is the bobcat hydraulic system is 15gpm at 3000psi. That little cylinder is going to open & close instantaneously with the electric over...

I always like seeing everyone's snow related pics but there are not very many this year. Nothing spectacular but here are some of mine. No I did not open the road. The county did it. :)

The BOSS information panel of my 7753 is too dim to read when running the machine in full sunlight. On cloudy days, at night, or inside the shed it is easy to read. Is there any way of making it brighter so I can see it during the day? It does have the factory rubber shade attached to it but it...

This was put on YouTube Friday. A loader bucket is bad enough but a grapple? It's a rental and by his other video he does not have much experience running it. Kids on the Bobcat! - YouTube

Have been looking at used equipment trailers. Would like one with 7000 lb. axles but am wondering what would be the minimum trailer axles needed to haul a 7753? could 5000 lb. or 6000 lb. axles work? I'd like to know in case one comes up at a really good price. Then, would that trailer be able...

Know there has been several threads about these lately so thought I'd show my new 5' J&I Manufacturing Maintainer. Have only got to use it once. Think I need to adjust the top link back some so the front blade does not cut as deep as it did. I live on very sandy soil, so it cuts too easy...

The left front axle seal of my 7753 is leaking a small amount of oil. I am going to jack it up, remove the wheel and check if the bearing has gone bad. If the bearing is ok I will just replace the seal. My question is, Does the oil have to be drained from the chain case before removing the seal?

I don't have much experience with skid steers so need some advise. Found a 93 7753 with 3800 hrs that just had the drive motors resealed by bobcat dealer. Same dealer wants $9700 for it. Looks in good shape, not abused. Is the price within reason for a 18 year old machine? Will it work for...

The sprayer is 2 years old and the firewood trailer doesn't get used in the summer so I combined them into a boomless spray trailer. It started out as an economy model 30 gallon spot sprayer that came with a 1 gpm, 30 psi pump. Last year when the sprayer came back from being loaned out the whole...

My LA165 is 3 years old with 44 hrs on the meter. Never had a problem with it, but ever since I brought it home from the dealer none of the 3 spindles on the 48" deck will take grease. There is no play in any of the bearings so I just keep mowing with it. So I am just wondering if anyone else...

This is another very tragic hay ride.:( Mon, Sept. 06, 2010 By Associated Press PARTRIDGE, Kan. A hayrack ride in central Kansas turned deadly when children fell off the small tractor and were run over, killing one and injuring three others. Reno County authorities said a...

I am curious if anyone with a 4in1 (clam shell) bucket on a compact tractor has had a failure similar to this. The failure occurred while clearing trees. The broken ends of the pin has rust showing for 1/2 it's thickness meaning it had been slowly breaking for some time. This aftermarket...

There was a post a while back discussing land planes and 3pt road graders so I had to take some pics of this one I came across today. While some road graders are small versions of a plane, around here this is a land plane. Not too many folks can level there driveways with this. :laughing:

Been looking to get a PTO post hole digger for a couple months but did not want to spend $600-700 for a new one. I found a lightly used Danuser G20/40 with 9" auger for $275 at a small town pawn shop. Other than a few scratches the Danuser is in great shape. The store owner was selling it on...

I found a 4' / 4000 lb lifting strap that fits across the bucket hooks. Now I'm looking for the right size steel ring to slip on the strap to chain to. Should work good with my short chain.

Does anyone use plastic square mesh barrier snow fence? I am thinking of trying it and want opinions on it's use. Just off my driveway on the county road is a quarter of farm ground that the crops are always cut short or there is wheat on it during winter. For the second time in 2 weeks a 200...

The FEMA trailers are all gone now. So thought I would take some photos of one of the 7 or so pairs of storage container shelters they built before the weeds take them over. Each shelter is 2 storage units set side by side directly across from another shelter.

Does anybody know something about the old tricycle style landscape graders. They look to be 40-60 years old and are about the size of a riding lawnmower, I think the motor is mounted to the side of duel front wheels and turn them by chain drive. The blade hangs below the center of the frame...

Does anyone have experience taking out cement sidewalks with a CUT? A friend purchased several lots around his home which need the old sidewalks removed. I have been ripping along the edge with a subsoiler and he has been using his old case 400 with loader to pop them out from the end. This...

I think my son did a great job adding weight to my box blade last weekend and thought I'd show it off. These are three 4' blades off a snow plow that weight 60 lbs. each for a total of 180 lbs. Makes the total weight 595 lbs. which seems to work well for this 5' box.

Would like to hear your opinion on this. JD dealer has a late 2007 3320 hydro / 300cx loader that has 416 hours. It has been the dealers rental tractor since new. Would be trading in my late 2007 790 / 300 loader, six 60lb factory wheel weights and power beyond with 83 hours. I would keep my...

21 years ago I bought our first bug zapper. All the information about it on the factory sticker has long faded away. It is a well built zapper of all metal construction and the original bulbs are still burning bright this summer. When we moved to the country 3 years ago we bought a 1 1/2 acre...

Anyone have info on the old JD 3pt rotary mowers. JD online parts only has blades and some bolts. This is a photo of the VIN plate on the one I just got. Thanks for any info.

A friend of mine built himself a speed mover to pull behind his JD 655. Besides using it to smooth out his driveway, he has leveled 2 large yards with several dump truck loads of dirt. He already had the metal, the wheels and tires were salvaged off a riding lawnmower and the cutting blade came...

One of the guys I work with has a 655 JD with mfwd. He has been searching for an original model 51 or 60 loader to no avail. He is thinking of buying a 200X or 200CX loader then fabricating the mounting brackets. The tractor already has the factory hydraulic selective control valve for the...

Saw this on ebay. Listed as a dirt mover, it is for sale in Australia. Looks kinda like a cross between a dirt scoop and a scraper. It rides on the lift arms of the 3pt but has a trailing wheel.

Sometime this spring will get a box blade for my 27hp (24 pto) 790 John Deere. Right now am looking at a 5, 5 1/2, or 6 foot BB. Would like to know what size box blades other TBN members have and how well you like them. Does a person want one that just covers the tire tracks, or a little wider...

I have use of a IMCO (Independent Mfg. Co.) 5 foot 3pt mowing deck. It is in good working condition but I have never heard of the company. Just curious if anyone know something about it?

Have been looking at 2 propane/oxygen cutting torch sets from different manufactures and need to decide which set to go with. One is a Harris cutter pac sold by Sears (2007-2008 Craftsman catalog page 135 #0920225). The other is a Smith Equipment HD-510LPT Heavy Duty Dual Guard Outfit on ebay...

Was using the 790 yesterday to remove more tree limbs from the ice storm we had a while back. Several limbs are broke, but still attached to the trees 15 or more feet above the ground and just hanging there. I have been pulling them down by hooking a 20ft chain to the drawbar and a 4x4 block of...

Thought I would put a link here thinking it might help someone else who is needing "how to" information on dirt work. I was looking on the net for Information on how to properly cut ditches for a roadway when I came across the Army Field Manual for Earthmoving Operations. It is 202 pages in a...

One more ride and it will be home this morning.:D Just in time to clean up after the ice storm.:) But weather man says 100% chance of snow today and tonight so I will have to work this weekend.:mad: I posted this in the wrong group. I appologize to all the Kubota owners out there.:o

Hello everyone, I was trying to decide on what JD tractor to buy when I came across this site! Read as many posts as possible before deciding on a 790 with a 300 loader + extras. Was able to find a dealer who had one. Glad I did because the dealers I have talked to said they can't order the 790...
