    Shards of metal 'welded' to my filter screen

    Some of you may remember when I did my 50 hr. service, that I mentioned shards of metal welded to the filter screen. I didn't take pictures at the time, but promised to post them at my 250 hr. service. Here they are:

    Butchering with a Massey Ferguson

    I claimed to have done it, but never provided pictures..........until now. Awoke at 4:30am, drank coffee and woke up a little. 5:30am jumped in my pickup and drove to BIL's house. Dispatched the hog quickly and loaded it on the pickup. Back home by 7:00am and put the Massey to work. BIL...

    What attachment for making raised rows in garden ???

    Supposed to be the best: Plastic Mulch Layer Farming Equipment - Raised Beds :: Rain-Flo Model 2550 But it ain't cheap. This is about as cheap as it gets: That's a TSC 1 row cultivator with discs and shanks from Agrisupply, and u-bolts from McMaster-Carr. And the 'blue' is part of a...

    Got tired of waiting

    So I went to TSC and purchased a 5' backblade. I've been trying for over 2 years to find a good used one. I'm posting pictures of that, and of the lights I installed a couple of years ago(but neglected to post pictures). On picture number 5, you can see that the blade was welded on crooked. It's...

    Finally after more than two years

    I picked up a TSC back blade. Been looking on Craigslist, newspapers, backyards, yard sales, but couldn't find anything worth buying. Most were 6 or seven foot blades. I needed a 5' and they are rare around here. On the fourth picture, if you look real close, you can see that the blade was...

    Gardening trials and errors

    Last year I tried something new in my garden. I planted rye as a winter cover crop. This past spring, I cut it off with my string trimmer and used it as a mulch for some of the plants in my garden. Now I'm trying something new, dunno how it's going to work. Saturday, I mowed off the corn...

    Hydraulic shudder on GC2400 and overspeed on tach

    I posted a while back, as did others, about a hydraulic shudder developing on the GC series tractor. There were several possible diagnoses of the problem. One person said that theirs ended up being an engine that was missing slightly, my problem ended up being a fuel filter. I've put 30...

    Potato Hiller Modification

    Pictures of my potato hiller mod were asked for by several people. At the time I had no camera. The cultivator/hiller is at my BIL's house because he plants the potatoes. I used part of a Freightliner frame, U bolts and shanks with discs for the modification. The u-bolts were ordered here...

    Poison Ivy/Oak

    A friend of mine has a vacation home near me that I have been taking care of for quite a few years now. A couple weeks ago, his brother decided he was going to tackle clearing some of the bank back with a weedeater. I went down to mow the yard yesterday, and wasn't prepared for what I found...

    Bees

    Expect bees to be anywhere. Especially wasps. Lifted the lid off my pond filter(never dreamed of a wasp nest being there), and got stung under my fingernail. Thank goodness I'm not allergic to bee stings, but my ring figer on my left hand is swollen pretty good.

    GC 2400

    My GC2400 went into the shop on Monday. I fired it up on Sunday to use it, and it was clearly missing badly. Whole tractor was shaking. Even vibrated the screws out of the 'slow vehicle triangle'. I purchased the tractor on 5/7/10, and this is the first trip to the dealer. Supposed to be...

    GC 2400 drive over deck

    I got tired of dragging the deck under the tractor, so I did it just to see what would happen. The pulley sheilds appear pretty strong, and I figured .......if I bend them, I'll just get stronger ones made up. I put a piece of split firewood on each side of the deck, at the rear, where each...

    The world according to Monsanto II

    I was hoping the other thread wouldn't be closed, but I figured it would be, because of the insults being thrown. But with that aside, I was told that Universities were doing the studies on GMO's now. None were pointed out, so I needed to do my own searching. And by Golly I did find a...

    3 pt. leaf blower

    I'm going to throw this out there(dunno if it has been discussed before)...........but I have a spare furnace blower............. Seems to me like it would work with a few modifications, and potentially save a person a buck or two as compared to a commercial unit. Thoughts?

    Tiller Question

    My brother-in-law, has a tiller that he purchased at TSC to run on his 790 JD. It's rated at 20 to 35 hp. Would my GC2400 run it(using common sense), or should I consider buying one smaller?

    GC2400 Hydraulics

    I purchased a GC 2400 4 weeks ago. The Hydraulics seem funky to me. At Idle, the 3pt and mower drop fast, but rise slow. At high RPM, they lower slowly, but rise fast. The 3pt rises so fast at high throttle that it almost bounces the back of the tractor off the ground. This can't be right can...
