Several years ago I modified a 12 row folding planter into a 6/11 splitter. Changed the way the master cylinder actuates the seed clutch and marker alternator switch. Want to go back to original way the marker switch was mounted, but don't remember and can't find the details in the parts...

The numbers on the alternator: 1103120***3A. Next line: 0L18 12vneg. The*** represents 2 or 3 characters that are obliterated. My tractor is A 5020 S/N under 25000. You send pix of other tractors and I understand for reference, but I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page...

I am restoring an old 5020. It has a 24 volt starter. The wiring was pretty hacked up when we got the tractor, so there's almost nothing to copy or start learning from. I have been able to learn that the 24v parts for the electrical system (starting and charging) are isolated from the tractor...

I'm converting an old 12 row JD planter to an 11 row splitter. Want to use the old marker arm control valve on the new planter. Does anyone have a schematic diagram of this valve?

I have found a source of trailer frames. They are two I-beams on axles that were used to haul modular houses. I'm looking at using one to build a goose neck trailer to haul a 10,000# tractor. Most of the ones I see have 2x6 decking fastened to cross beams that sit on the main frame. Does...

The old H has come up with a new trick. The oil pressure drops off after it heats up. The oil level is full. At cold start up, the pressure gauge reads about half scale at full throttle and it drops off at idle. After it runs a while, the full throttle pressure shows a little less than cold...

I'm designing a pallet fork attachment, and as part of the design I wanted to rough out the possible forces on it. To do that, I need to know the boom and bucket cylinder diameters for the loader. I know that they are in the loader manual, but I've lost mine. I can measure what looks like the...

I'm in the process of renovating a NI manure spreader. I don't think that the floor we removed was original. It was 1x8, but that meant that some of the boards had only one bolt though the middle. Leaves lots of room for cupping. The hole spacing in the frame members that the floor bolts...

On my FEL, the bucket pivot pins pins are retained by cross bolts through a welded on boss. The bosses look surface mounted, but I've seen them on other brands and they had a pilot that fit in a hole to locate them for welding. If my description is poor, there's a picture. What is the proper...

Finally got around to pulling the old H out of the shed and into the shop to get it running, and I need some help from those who've gone there before. When it runs, it runs ok, but I've heard others that sound much smoother. It's a bear to start. I've had it running and heated up, shut it off...

Need some pointers on setting up the governor on an 8-N. After a long battle with this machine, we finally got it to start reliably. Many thanks to all who helped with that. The problem now is the governor. There was an extension spring hooked between the carb throttle ball link and the...

I'm looking for a sandblaster. I've looked at a bunch of ads for them in Northern Tool and Grainger catalogs. I've seen them at the local farm store. Unfortunately, they were in boxes, so I couldn't play with them or I'd probably not need to post here. The answers I got there didn't all add...

The tractor stopped working last year. It had spark, so tore into the fuel system and found it plugged by all kinds of gunk. Cleaned out the line from tank to carb, and the carb itself. Replaced the gaskets and reasembled. Fuel comes out of the carb drain, so it's getting that far. Pulled...

Anyone have any experience getting a broken transmission drain plug out of an 8N? The front plug was pretty well rounded off, so we had to resort to a pipe wrench. That just peeled metal until the plug finally cracked. I'm hoping that someone has a neat trick to make removing the remains of...

I connected the single acting cylinder on a rack wagon hoist to the valve port that goes to the up (piston) side of the FEL boom. I can raise the hoist by pulling the stick...the wagon bed goes up rather than the loader. The only way I can lower the wagon bed is to shut the engine off and put...

Last month, we put a hoist on one of our rack wagons. We usually move wagons around with the B2150, so that was the tractor we tested the hoist with. Hooked the hose (one hose, it's a single acting cylinder) to the loader valve on the boom lift outlet and pulled the joystick back. Worked...

I'm designing a hay fork for my B2150. It will lift 4 bales at a time. The bales are stacked 2 wide x 2 high to make a 200 pound cube about 36 on a side. I envision 4-8 round spikes, like a tine bucket A quick test of a possible spike using a 50# bag of feed in a 5 gallon bucket says that...

I use my B2150 a lot for hauling things. One day I might be moving my utility trailer with a load of firewood from the fence row to the wood shed. The next day I might need to move a farm wagon with a pin and clevis hitch. No matter what I needed to move, the drawbar was set up wrong, and the...

I'm looking for a disc to pull with my 3020. There is an 11' BWA with notched front blades coming up for auction. I've never seen this model, so I checked tractorhouse and found a few pictures. How in the world do you hitch it up or turn with it? The drawbar looks impossibly short, and I don't...

My rotary mower has developed a vibration. If I am mowing along and hit something substantial, the mower will vibrate badly. It shakes the whole tractor. If I look back, I can see the back edge of the mower oscillating in the roll axis. When this first happened, I climbed off and checked...

I'm going to build a toothbar for my B2150 (24 HP). I found a place reasonably close that stocks teeth and shanks for skid loaders, but before I go shopping, I'd like to have a better idea what I'm looking for. Can anyone out there with a machine similar to mine tell me the approximate size of...

Does anyone know where I can get a few bolt on chain hooks? Weld on would be ok too. I want to put a few hooks on my FEL.

I'm comparing the Woods 1006 loader to the Kubota LA350A for my B2150. The specs on the Kubota loader show about 200# more lift capacity and about 500# more breakout force. One of the local dealers says he can still get the Kubota loader for my old tractor, the other says it's not available...

I'm about to put a FEL on my old B2150. I'm trying to sort out claims from different dealers in the area. The Woods is about$600 less than the Kubota, but I'm hearing that Woods has had some bad quality problems lately. Anyone bought a Woods loader lately?

The mower lifting mechanism on my B2150 needs adjusted every year. Each spring, when I mount the mower (RC-72B), I have to adjust the turnbuckles to get the mower back up to the bumper blocks. As the year progresses, the gap between the mower and the bumper bocks grows from the 1/16" I set it...

I recently had a chance to operate a friend's compact with a loader. It's not orange, but another major color about equivalent to my B2150 (24HP). My tractor is scheduled for a loader as soon as the motion passes the finance comittee. This adds up to my never having operated a loader before...

Does anyone know the front to rear wieght distribution of a B2150 hydro 4x4? Thanks

Has anyone ever had any success replacing the handle on a tool such as a pitchfork? I was given an old pitchfork, silage fork to be axact, that had about 4 inches of handle beyond the ferrule. It took me over an hour to get the head out of the ferrule. Now I have the head sitting in the...

I'm about to change the fluid in the hydrostatic transmission of my B2150. I have never done this before, so I studied the manual pretty carefully. My only concern is the size of my drain pan. There are two drain plugs in the bottom the case. My guess is that opening either one will drain...

I'm finally getting around to assembling my boom sprayer. I was pricing some brass fittings at Lowes and ran across some schedule 40, 3/4" PVC pipe that appears to be rated at 400+ psi. Since going plastic in selected places would save a lot compared to brass fititngs , I was pretty...

What\'s a jake brake? The other day, I was driving home on Rt 81 just north of Harrisburg. This road is very heavily populated by the big trucks. One coasted up along side me on a long gradual downgrade and decided to trim a few MPH with the jake brake. I'd heard this plenty of times before...

I am looking at the options available to add a FEL to my B2150HSD. Sounds like there are still a few Kubota LA350A loaders out there, but I am told that this unit has been discontinued. Does anyone know for sure? Does anyone have specs or experience with this loader to compare to the Woods...

For anyone debating tire types, maybe this will help. My B2150 is primarily a mowing machine, and came with turf tires. I also wanted to be able to pull a plow and disc through the garden, and to be able to renovate the rattier patches in our pasture. The folks at the local Kubota dealer told...
