My friend is currently splitting a 50hp TYM cabbed tractor to repair a non working reverse. (He also just did the same thing recently for an 80hp Massey). He said he's able to get most of the parts so far, but he needed 1 shifting fork and TYM was out of stock. He found it available on a...

Sorry if there is already another thread for this. I'm wondering if its gaining traction. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/12/general-motors-v8-engine-valve-lifter-lawsuit-claims-recall-is-needed/ They should make it go back to 2007 when all these problems were initiated. The lawsuit wants...

Skip down to post #6 for answer to the original issue in red. I was getting gas overflowing into the crankcase, checking the dipstick, it'd be an inch too high. This has the Kawasaki FD620D gas motor. It has been running great for years since 2016. My son tells me one day, "Dad, I can't get...

BOBCAT TOOLCAT TRACK SYSTEM Equipment Part - J.M. Wood Auction Company, Inc. Just thought I'd post a link for you toolcat guys

I've heard some nay say these things, also saying parts and repairs are high. I'm wondering if those here would care to comment how long they have had theirs? Any problems? What brand? Also, how well do they heat? Like, do they heat down to 32F decently? I've read where it is important to...

Maybe I should call this thread....."This old Steiner" I just bought an old Steiner 230 that had been sitting for 4 years, on a gov't site. The guy there said that no one there knew why it was parked. It is quite rusted, as it came from near the Texas coast. I am trying to determine if it is...

The frustrating part is, the ranchers are not getting the money. It is the packers. Sam's Club ground chuck, family pack, 80/20 is $6.38/lb pork chops almost $4.50/lb I need to find a local processor/seller.

My buddy at work is about to pull his hair out. His kitchen sink drain pipe started leaking in the wall behind the sink as it's going into the slab. He actually tore into the wall, and then busted a 20" square hole through the slab to try and see what's up. Apparently, the rusted out drain...

What you want to mow with.....Groundsmaster(R) 591 (31599) | Toro But when it breaks you wish you only had to work on this....Classic Rear Engine Riding Lawn Mower Most of us are somewhere in the middle.....

While trying to find some good bearings, I ran across this link from the Koyo USA website: WBA - Stop fake bearings | apparently, besides super cheap bearings from China\where ever, there are now counterfeiters. When you can buy 10 bearings on Amazon for 14.99, you should guess something is...

Holy cow, the R stands for Rich. I loaded one up with most everything, and it was pushing $160,000 My friend is looking for a new hay machine. He has a 3155 MFWD and he wants another similar machine. He's shopping around.

Let me first say I'm not a Lincoln or Miller guy. I just use what I have. So we have a barely used 2006 model Synchrowave 250 with a water cooled torch at work. A big bottle of argon has been on it for about 2 years now. I would guess it's maybe on the 5th or 6th bottle just to estimate it's...

My buddy is looking for a baler that will net wrap. His old one doesn't have it. There is a baler for sale on my way to work, from a stranger. 2007 Deere 568. Mega wide, big balloon tires, cover edge wrap. It has had 14,000 bales run through it. Should I run away, or what all should I look...

I had a sneaking suspicion that my dealers parts pricing had gone up. I just did some checking on my local dealership (which got bought up by one of the large conglomerations), and their parts are about 12- 15% higher than the next closest "conglomeration". Parts were cheaper yet by almost 10%...

Here in Texas, Deere has already forced smaller dealerships to either buy other dealerships, or sell your own dealership. Our dealership had been family owned since like 1936. So now, there are these "entities" that own multi-dealerships, reducing competition. Some "wet behind the ears" board...

The stock battery lasted from 2002 until 2011. An Exide battery from TSC was quite a bit less (I don't remember exactly) maybe $179?? But it is toast and has lasted 7 years. The stock battery BLEW THE F UP back in 2011 when I was attempting to start the tractor. Literally, it blew the top...

Been searching for a head. If anyone knows of a compatible head from a Hinemoto or Allis Chalmers, please let me know. This tractor belongs to a relative. He said it overheated due to not correctly filling it with coolant. I guess these have a specific coolant bleeding procedure? Anyone...

A big part of TBN are the posts showing pictures of how to do things. It makes truly worthy threads obsolete at the whim of the host provider. Please, do not use photobucket to host and source your photos anymore. (unless you want to pay the $39.99 per month fee for forever) Upload the photos...

I had some trouble last night using Firefox on a computer with Vista. Ads were stopping or getting hung up. Just wondering. I don't mind still picture ads, as I want tbn to make a little money. My android with chrome is also taking a long time to finish loading the ads.

Just wondering if anyone has found a cheaper alternative? A simple sensor like this made in Mexico should only cost a third of what JD charges. LVA11184 is now replaced by LVA17409 and it sells for $77.75 Surely this simple hall effect sensor can be found cheaper. Also, people have stated...

Sad. They've been in business since 1937. They are keeping the current staff as far as I know. Time will tell, and also will determine my loyalty. I feel this is a backward step for John Deere.

I'm posting this because it seems that the only way to get a price is to walk in and work with a salesman. My buddy went in and talked to a salesman that he has known for a long time, so the price might be lower than some might be offered. The unit he was pricing had a FEL loader, buddy seat...

I just got this repaired and wanted to give the next guy a "heads up". Just last month, I repaired a Deere HPX gator that has the same v-twin Kawi 620 engine. It needed the dreaded ignitor box. $305. It had no spark on either cylinder. I have a buddy that repairs these things and he says...

So far this morning, 4 out of 5 postings have been doubled.

Howdy, I get to work on this next week for my boss while we are a bit slow at work. He thinks it is a 2000 or 2001 model. Says it makes loud noises when you put it in 4WD. I don't remember how many hours are on it, but the tires are down to their last 20%. Any ideas from you pros? Last year...

So my rockshaft stopped working correctly some time ago and I haven't really had to do any box blading or anything precise. It would still go up and down, just not in proportion to the lever. I finally decided to see what the heck was wrong. I can tell you my fix was not costly, but it took...

It might already be sold, but my buddy is selling his in south Texas. I just posted it here in case it doesn't sell and someone might be interested. There seems to always be people who are looking for that tractor/mower for cheap. If interested, I could get some pics.

Recently, I was speaking with some fellow TBN'ers, and the wife told me if she outlives her husband, she is moving back to the city. They have no children. I can't say I blame her. Taking care of the place would be a huge ordeal, having to try and hire out all the rigorous upkeep tasks. It...

I made my wife a cookie sheet out of some Ti6Al4v (grade 5) that I had laying around for years. I think it is about .035" thick. I put it on the brake we have at work and started bending. I wanted about a 1/2" lip on the long edge for strength and a place to grab with a pot holder. When it...

I went to start it and it did start, but it seemed to run for a few seconds, then started sputtering, then finally dying after running out of gas (I think). Cranks fine, battery is hot. I checked spark and there is plenty of blue spark. It fires up for with starter fluid. I know that it is not...

So I do cad/cam at work. I have a decent Dell T5500 with 8 cores. Windows 7 64 bit Pro. I have a "large to me" cam file open and I'm trying to get it to run, but it seemed super slow and would just get stuck, watching the endmill trying to cut the imaginary part on the screen. I right...

This forum has really started snowballing. Exponential growth. Glad to see so many newbys on here. So is there a thread related to the 4 millionth post yet? I didn't see one so I figured I'd start one.

I have 2 oxygen regulators right now that have the same problem. Victor and Radnor 250 series. I rarely use my oxy-acetylene torch set. Maybe twice a year. They won't hold the pressure setting and the pressure just keeps rising. The welding supply companies will only repair if you bring...

I went back through a few pages of the "New Member" zone and it seems a whole bunch of folks are joining. Sometimes 9 per day or so. It's hard to keep up welcoming them all,,,,,so, HOWDY AND WELCOME!!! Has this been the case all along? I'd love to see a graph of the number of new members...

Memorial Day is a time to reflect upon the tens of thousands of our war heroes whom didn't come home alive. It was the American intervention and war heroes that turned the tide in WWII. Also a great day to thank a vet for their service to our great country. Thank you all! Salute!

I was told by a friend that some folks would weld a piece of tool steel to the front edge of their shredder blades for longer life. I'm a machinist by trade, but not a "weld and fix it" repair type machinist. Obviously I would be worried about it breaking off and go slinging. But if you...

First off, it belongs to my boss and some kids were driving on his ranch. The tank still smells a little like gasoline possibly. Possibly kids put gas in it? He says he siphoned the tank and put on a new fuel filter. We had to pressure wash it, as the motor was so caked up with west Texas...

Purchased in 2002, the fuel line hardened and cracked from ethanol gas, so I can't blame the manufacturer. I just recently started putting Avgas in my small engines but haven't done it for this saw yet. The fuel line is a funky size, a bit over .200 in diameter. If you try to use 3/16 OD...

Rant alert. Our school bus is supposed to come at 6:20 am. This is about 15-60 minutes before dawn. I don't want my 5 and 8 year old daughters having to wait for the bus in the dark. I know there are others that have to get up even earlier than we do. We are near the start of the route...

Does anyone have any real world usage and/or tips? My company is looking to buy soon. The B has a yellow deck, Kohler engine I think 23.9hp, not sure of tranny, about $7250 (price as posted on floor unit) The M has a 23.5 Kawasaki motor, tuff torq trannies, 7 iron deck quoted with 60" deck=...

Debating on chickens or guinea fowl. Don't need the eggs. Prefer lowest maintenance birds. I've heard that guineas will eat seeds as fast as you plant them if allowed. I know that they are the best at roaming and eating grasshoppers (which I have swarms of) and that is the main reason for...

K & M Manufacturing - KM 117 UNI PRO After I saw how much Deere wanted for a new seat, base and armrests, I ended up finding this place and for roughly half price you can get a whole new assembly. Seat and suspension base=$375 Armrest kit = $54 or you can just buy the seat cushion...

Yes, there is a road which is a shortcut between Giddings and College Station the locals call the Hemorroid Highway. The worst of it lies in the adjacent county and has potholes that you could put half a large beach ball into. I finally went online to the said county's website and shot off an...

My company's 2305 has developed a hydraulic whine. It has about 500 hours on it. The hydraulic oil, filters and screen were changed/cleaned about 50 hours (of use) ago. The unit does not have an FEL, nor any rear implements used. Just a 3 blade belly mower deck. The deck doesn't seem to...

Using IE9 and Vista, is there an easy way to prevent this? Also, when I type out a post and hit the Post button, it often hesitates and gives me a "Leave This Page?" box....this happens on other forums too. Annoyed in Tex, Kyle

First off, this is not my tractor. It belongs to the company I work for. They have a guy who uses it regularly. He is not mechanically inclined. The tractor will start and run fine. The operator said that the PTO worked intermittently and now not at all. The tractor is only used with a...

I bought this battery last June, so it is 11 months old. It says free replacement for up to 3 years on the side as it is the Maxx version. It is in my daily driver Impala which I commute 65 miles each way to work and back. It is not a case of starting and stopping and restarting which can...

2320 - Trucks & Truck Tractors, Wheeled at Government Liquidation Seems they go relatively cheap, and if you are patient, you can get one at a military base near you. Just wondering if anyone has one? Wondering what you use it for? Seems like it could be made into a really good municipal...

I was making some adjustments on my sickle bar mechanism and I was having to start the tractor about every 10-15 minutes for about 30 seconds at a time to adjust the 3 point up and down. I did this 3 or 4 times. I reached for the key (while off the tractor on the right side) and it went POW...

I may have talked about this years ago on here but I think it can be a good lesson for rookies to learn from. A buddy goes to pick up his "new to him" 8N and shredder. Takes his 1/2 ton Suburban and 16 foot tandem axle trailer. Test drives the tractor for a short period (this is probably...

Flying Wild Alaska: Blow It Up : Videos : Discovery Channel Talk about living in the boondocks, this episode has a story about a couple that needed a flight back to their cabin. Considered the most remote cabin in Alaska, the couple are the last of the original 7 permits "grandfathered" to...

Not sure what drives the ads exactly, (google click ads) but my wife had opened some sites on other tabs and I started getting "girly" type ads on the right!:thumbsup: Maybe if I have a cell phone page open on another tab I can get the T-mobile girl in pink to pop up!!!:D

Can you believe it? Browning designed it a hundred years ago and it is more popular than ever. I have a Colt Gold Cup stainless version that I absolutely love. A buddy that has a black steel version also recently bought a ParaOrdnance GI Buddy and he loves it. Have y'all seen the Springfield...

http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/expert_assessment/season_drought.gif Doesn't look good folks. I know some of you up in DFW region have been getting bad storms but not sure how much rain. I purposely planted a very small garden this year. If it wasn't for a few "volunteers", I would...

My commute is about 70 miles each way. I'm paying about $540./month to buy gasoline at $3.75/gallon. My car gets about 25-26 real world mpg (checked every tank fillup). 2003 Impala, 3.4 V6 pushrod engine. I'm wondering out loud thinking of options to reduce monthly costs. I have 2 hours a...

Snapper NXT - The Cutting Edge of Mower Technology Just asking, I have no connection to the company other than I used to work at a place that sold RER's about 30 years ago. I like the deck design where the 3 blades overlap.

The recent thread of getting snake bit rurally begs this discussion. How far are you from emergency services? How long would it take to get an ambulance to your place? I'm just posting this so that folks might be able to formulate a plan and discuss it with loved ones in case of emergency...

Just wondering if anyone has had a problem with theirs. its an LCD type. The rest of the guages work fine. Tach, temp, fuel, idiot lights. Just the hour meter. I don't want to replace the whole console. $$$$ Tractor is 2002 with about 500 hours. If I can't get it to work, I guess I'll...

Well, the Lord has blessed me again. We had our little boy today at 12:24 PM. 7lbs 3 oz. St. Patty's day at that. Everyone's fine. I'm STOKED!!!:):):)

I think I'm older than dirt but younger than rocks, or is it the other way around???? Anyhow, it seems I need reading glasses but can't stand to wear the pair I bought at Wally world. I've never had to wear glasses before. Any suggestions? I think I use 1.25 lenses ???

:mad::mad::mad: Deere has revoked the dealership association with Victoria Farm Equipment which has been a deere dealer for over 20 years. This is horrible as the family that owns this was told by deere to sell to a "multi-dealer corporation" or risk losing their dealership. I think this is...

I still can't believe this is happening. What the heck are Chrysler and GM thinking. I know they think that dealers are competing against the same brand but I think this happens more in big cities that have multiple dodge dealerships for example. Houston has multiple. Austin, San Antonio, and...

Hajek Implement Company - Hallettsville , TX Lots of Farmall stuff too. I drive past this place about every other month and they have a bunch of oldies but goodies in various states. I like the 5020 with the front blade. Wish I could afford it and had the time,space and money to take it to...

:(:(:( We've decided we're selling our place due to my new job being 70 miles away. I've been commuting about 53 miles (one way) for the last 5 years so gas has been eating my account for sure. So, after a bunch of crazy thoughts, we have decided to move to the city of my new job. I know...

How many of you have bought an expensive attachment only to use it maybe once or twice a year? If your like me, I would say the chances are high. It would seem that if enough members in a locale went in together, they could chip in and then they could "rent" the attachments for a lot less...

I've got a chance to buy a rough 4020 that belongs to my buddy's MIL. The sheet metal will need replacement if I want to restore it to a decent condition. I know they sell for $8500-12000 restored. It's a diesel and he says it runs but his BIL has started tearing it apart to restore it but...

Our little town is at epedemic level. We are staying home as much as possible due to the fact we have a 4 month old infant. My wife and I both got our flushots last November but the CDC is saying they are only 40% effective due to some new strains. I think we both have had mild cases of flu...

I hope to get some people here who know about electricity and can give me some good answers. First to preface, everyone is spending countless bucks improving solar power, wind power, wave power you name it power. From my pea sized knowledge of electicity, I know that 3 phase motors are somewhat...

Paid off the 4310 a couple of weeks ago. 5 years old, I guess I need to wash it for a birthday present, maybe an engine oil change. Have to say, its been a great machine! Besides normal maintenance, I've only had to replace the right rear axle seal and put a gel cell battery in it. Thats it...

TV said for the 1st time in 31 years, they are equal. This means that Canadians can buy stuff from America for less than it used to cost. (About 1/3 less compared to a few years ago.) Just wondering if any of our Northern buddies are taking advantage of this situation?

I don't have any pricing yet, but I just found this on the website. 6 and 7 footers. I'll bet they're pricey, but I can tell you if you have a big pond, they are invaluable to trim around the edges. http://www.deere.com/en_US/ProductCatalog/FT/media/pdfs/Sickle_Bar_Mowers.pdf

Last week, a young man was mowing a city park and was attacked and stung over 200 times. He was able to call a coworker by cellphone but the coworker was unable to get close. The fire dept sprayed foamy water to disperse them. He died after being life flighted to Austin. The bees were in a...

Here's a link to a very successful entrepreneur with a business in Austin and land near Gauss (not too far from me, TxDon, and TexBaylea). Boggy Creek Farm - Larry's Smoke-dried Tomatoes A friend of mine showed me this. I have not tried them myself. But I hear they are great.

Please don't delete this thread, it is meant more as a public service than a rant... I saw where the same problem that hit the pet food industry is now turning up in feed for hogs. Probably next cattle. Some are being quaranteened. Watch what you eat. I'm paranoid of many things produced in...

I have a Sony Vaio about 7 years old. It has some nice propietary software that came with it however, it also came with Millenium. It crashes sometimes and gives lots of alarms and warnings. The question is, should I do a full (wipe the slate) install or an upgrade install? The computer is...

According to the John Deere calendar, today is JD's birthday (yes there really was a man named John Deere who started it all). I wore my JD T-shirt today to commemorate. :) :) :)

During my insomnia last night, I caught a repeat of a recent JD question and answer program. The program was pretty good. It lasted an hour. One of the marketing guys whose responsibilities were the 2XXX, 3X20, and 4X20 series mentioned a new Imatch system that would connect the PTO shaft...

Welcome Here's one of the biggest shows in Texas. I hope to maybe go this Saturday if I can get a kitchen pass....Kyle

I noticed some oil last week on my right rear rim. I traced the leak to the axle seal. I didn't have a slab to park on prior to this so I'm not sure how long it's been leaking. I went down to the local dealer and ordered the seal and talked to the mechanic. He said it would be about a $600...

Saw to end all \"What\'s the best saw arguments!\" OK, I just found this and couldn't wait to show it off.

I bought a 4 shank pasture renovator/aeriator. The shanks are about 15" spread apart so theoretically it covers 5 feet. Has anyone here used one? I talked to my deere dealer and they liked them but said "Don't try to make any turns while its in the ground." We have about 26 acres of coastal...

I need advice from you northerners. My FIL wants a new truck to keep up at his jobsite. It will be parked for up to 2-3 weeks between his work hitches. Elevation is a factor, from 5200' to 9500'. Very, very cold. -20F to -50F is common. Money is not the issue. The local guys are telling...

Last October I had my tractor in the shop for a few minor warranty issues (before the warranty ran out). One of which was the acid spillage issue. They wrote on the repair ticket they cleaned and painted the area. I took the tractor home. Now, my battery is on the blink and I'm looking...

Best Father\'s day Gifts? I just wanted to show off a little. Here's mine.

Why don\'t Manufacturers post pricing like JD? OK, so maybe JD's online retail prices are quite high but, AT LEAST THEY POST THEM ONLINE They let you add attachments and price them out too. When I was comparison shopping, It annoyed me that most of the manufacturers state "Call your dealer...

I have the opportunity to buy a trade in 214 Lawn Tractor. I'm not sure of the year but these were built from around 1975- 1982 or so. I have no experience with these but it has a 14 Hp Kohler, variable speed lever and a decent looking deck. It looks a lot heavier duty than what is sold at...

Ok, so I would love to buy a 3 pt tiller but I really would only use it maybe 10 days a year for my own use. I have a rental place less than a mile away so I went in and asked: "Do you have a 3 pt tiller to rent?" "Yes we do, do you need a tractor with it?" "No, I have two thank you" "It...

I recently lost my 10 1/2 year golden. I am about to move out to our land if it ever stops raining long enough to build a septic system. I was thinking about starting a small breeding operation. NOT A PUPPY FACTORY. I would like to contribute to a breed. Not looking for profit, but I would...

Actually, I want to know about ALL types of grass available. I just could'nt fit them into the subject line. I'm about to plant my yard in a few weeks. I'm hoping to get opinions about any types of grass that could be recommended. Mostly hot and sunny with a clay base soil. Right now, it is...

Or, What you won't miss unless you've ever tried something different. I'm talking about the suspension on the seats of more expensive tractors. You wouldn't believe the difference between seats on the 4310 and our 5420. I guess to keep the price down on the 4x10 series, the seat suspension...

Can anyone help identify this mower? I think it is a 9 foot JD 350. The serial #is 247149E. It doesn't have a model number stamped on the badge. I know very little about this thing (I just bought it from a guy who bought it and never used it). No manuals yet. Are these junk or decent as...

Just drove by dealer and low and behold, here they are. Hot off the press. The serial number on the 4720 ended with #0208

Ok, my father in law calls and says we really have too much money wrapped up in tractors with a combined value of $50000. Told me to think about it and asked what we might should do. He originally bought his to refurbish his 52 acres but decided to hold off until he retires in about 10 years...

My wife claims she\'s a TractorByNet widow Actually, she jokingly has a term for all the time I spend on this board. "Tractor ****" All I ever hear is "Are you still looking at all that tractor **** ???" As I wipe the drool off my chin and keyboard, I meekly say "yeah". Am I addicted...

Can anyone enlighten me about organic beef? The reason I ask is because many of the cattle around here are raised on beautiful fields of coastal bermuda or other types of hay. Why spend the extra money for the feedlot? Seems if people are willing to pay extra for organic, the ranchers with...

AND CLIMBING. Just trying to start a fun thread. I guess it also depends on the amount of land you tend to. So post your tractor dollars per acre. Might scare you. Mine is roughly $769. Just divide how much you've spent, by your acreage. Example $20000 divided by 26 acres = $769 I...

I've been told the radiant barrier paint works well when sprayed inside directly on the metal with no insulation. However, this only works in hot climates down south. This does nothing for cold weather and if insulation is installed against the metal, it kills the paint's ability to work. Has...

CowboyDoc sparked my memory about two seperate incidents that happened a few years back. My buddy and I were at his family's business outside of Victoria Texas and a fellow was doing some brush hogging next door. Next thing you know the fellow came running up yelling BEEEEES, We ran inside and...

OK, here\'s my pond-Notice anything wrong??? I could have started a topic 'How not to brush hog' or 'What not to do with R4 tires' Luckily, the trusty suburban pulled it out. My 4310 is at the dealer now for her 50 hour service. Hope everyone is getting plenty of seat time...I know I did...

I would like to establish some ducks or geese on my pond but I don't live on my land yet. Would anyone prefer one over the other? My pond is about 3 acres, the main body is roughly 150ft x 500ft. The county road is about 400 ft away. Will they stay? Do I have to feed them? How often...
