    April on the farm

    AprilApril 19th I found myself doing battle with the mud. The Cat Challenger 285B was out of commission since I was putting in new brakes. So since that is the ultra slow tractor we use for the transplanter we had to find something else to do. The field crew decided to get a jump on getting one...

    1739e front wheel drive broke

    Before tearing apart the front axle, take the splined coupler off and look at the forward end of the drive shaft. On some models the coupler floats and at times only engages about 3/4" of the splines.I have cut a second coupler to act as a spacer to encourage more engagement of the splines. The...

    I ended up adding a spring to the out side of the valve linkage to replicate the force of the internal spring. It has worked flawlessly for 9 years.

    Thoughts on L4150 TLB

    We have one on our farm in use every day. Last year I rebuilt the backhoe with all new seals and hoses and replace many bushings. It is still like new except for the fenders and floorboards. I have had to rebuild the front pinion gears and seals a couple of times. It is a good machine, not as...

    Backhoe  Kubota Backhoe cylinder rebuild kits

    My Kubota 4540A Backhoe needs some new seals (after 30 years) Most of the cylinders have not been redone. Both my local dealer and Messicks are unable to get the kits.

    Replacing seal on Woods M5-4 Rotary Cutter

    I needed to remove the blades and the Clamp Crossbar that the blades attach to. The parts had all been on since 1990. I was able to remove the Clamp crossbar by putting threaded 1" rod in the holes of the crossbar and using a 24" pipe wrench turn the nuts to push the part off the main shaft.

    Oil & Fuel  Cleaning fuel tank

    Last year after 24 years our Kubota L4150 with about 2800 hours started to die occasionally from fuel starvation. I put it down to running the tank too low. This year it got worse. I had tried to look in the tank to no avail. I used a long grabber blindly with no effect. We could blow back from...

Does anyone know if I can replace a spring while rebuilding the loader control valve assembly or should I prepare myself mentally to...

    Replacement Seats

    I am looking for input on the best replacement seats for a couple of tractors. (Kubota L4150 and Challenger MT285B ) The covering tends to rip and then the foam gets wet. Serves those who sit down with harvest knives right, but I occasionally have to drive and get a wet seat. I had to replace...
