I have run across what looks like a small throwing knife. It is in a A.G. Russel sheath. I have been trying to look it up and see if it has any value or history. The blade says Bittercreek Cutlery...Handmade...Ed Richardson. If the knife said A G Russel on it, then it would be worth between...

Just received a pull behind sickle mower by new idea, i can just read the tag on it and believe it says 255 model. I have checked the other threads about sickle mowers but did not see anything on this particular model. It is rusty and has been outside for about 10 years but the bar goes back...

Talked to a JD mechanic, when he found out i had a 4720 he said to be gingerly changing gears with the left hand handle, the ABC gearing. There is a little fork in there that actually changes the gears to match what speed or power you want. If try to change too energenitically ( sp...

Just replaced the yellow pto electric switch on a Lazer x. Was thought it was odd went out at 190 hrs. Apparently these go out pretty frequently, the parts guy had a drawer full of them and found them with out even looking in the drawer for them, just put his hand down and scooped one out...

Looking for a little help here. Have toro groundmaster, about 1990 vintage. Every thing is falling off lately (just turned over 1100 hr.) and most of it have been able to figure out except this one. It got back from getting towed off a fence post it was stuck on. The problem is that the...

Have an Exmark lazer z, 44" commercial deck. Sharpened the blades and went out in the pasture to cut some of the thistle down. Brought it back in and shut down and put in the barn. Next day, took it out to do some lawn mowing. Hit the pto and nothing happened.:mad: When i put it away was...

Yesterday ran across an oddball. This is the first lawnmower that i have dealt with that does NOT have reverse threads on the blade bolts. Took a while to figure that one out!!:o (would have been easier with an owners manual) Commercial 44" deck.

Sounds like most threads i have read here are pretty cheap (inexpensive) to fix lawn tractors. Have a toro groundmaster, just tore out the splines on center spindle of the mower deck, 72". $80 for the pully, $120 for the shaft, and as long as in there, $35 for the bearings. That is just the...

Newbie at discing. Have a tandem 7' disc but missing the cylinder to put the transport wheels down and do not have hydraulics in the rear anyway, and yes know about the ratcheting cylinders, just have not had the time to get one. Question i have. Does the disc have to be attached to the tow...

Hey guys! Any input as to how to more correctly hook up a disc to disturb the soil enough for replanting a hay field. Tried putting it on the tow bar of the 4720 and bogged it down. Is it more correct to hook it to the drawbar? Do not have rear hydraulics to push up the disc with the...

Never had anything of plastic that wanted to put wax on and the tractor has plastic fenders. So the question is how to keep them nice and not scratched up. Understand the cleaning so not having sand and such as sandpaper on the finish like any other paint job, any other tips on what wax/...

Pipes to the back water managed to freeze this year again. Probably because no/little snow and teens below zero. I have straight access to the pipes from the basement. Short of digging them up (last resort, if at all) anyway to warm them up now or prevent future freeze ups? Or run some sort...

Talked to 'manual' and seems like there should be zerks on the tie rod ends like there used to be on a car (and still are on my jeep) but all i am seeing is caps(?) like they are greaseless. Any thoughts?

On the 4720 HST there is a feature that tells the tractor how far to roll when getting off the throttle. 1 will just about skid the tires if back off too fast and 10 will be like a 'normal' tractor and roll with whatever momentum the tractor has. Question is: What is the mechanism that slows...

Since joining the farm life have increased the number of grease guns from 1 to 5, all with their unique usages and features. One descriptor I have seen lately is they can be refilled with a cartidge, bulk, or suction. The first 2 are easy, but have not figured out how to fill one by 'suction'...

Is there any one out there running Highlander cattle?

Have new 4720 with loader, cab, and blade. Sure beats an open station. Has a great heater for moving all the snow up here in a short sleeve shirt, hope the a/c is just as good when it is hot and humid (maybe i can wear sweats and thermal then). Why put the front axle fill under the engine...
