Hi, I have a 1986 Ford 1510 tractor and the right brake pedal just pushes to the floor with no resistance and no braking. I figure that it's one (or more) of the springs have broken, but I'm in the middle of getting my house ready to move and I don't have time to dig into it. Plus, I have it...

I have a 2010 JDZ920A0 turn and I am sitting here at my work bench testing the 2nd starter that I have put in it since I've owned it. It's bad. (Applying power to the starter via the ignition terminal, the bendix jumps up but doesn't spin.) I bought this mower used in 2013 so I've had it about...

This past weekend I found out that the guy that rents our farm from us has an old goose neck trailer that they haven't used for at least 15 years sitting in the weeds at the farm headquarters. It's 21' long and has 3.tandem axles tandem on it with 6 tires total. It needs new tires and new...

I blew the top seal on my bush hog out last weekend so this morning I dug into it to fix it. A buddy of mine told me that most likely the reason that it failed was because the vent hole got clogged creating pressure until it failed. Sounded reasonable so I started looking around the gear box for...

Last Wednesday my wife offered to cut the back yard while I took our son to football practice. I told her that she would have to add gas to the mower before mowing and that when she finished she could just park the mower on a concrete pad I have behind our fence and I would clean it off the next...

Used my tractor a couple of weeks ago and parked it and last week I went out on that side of the shop and found a large wet spot. The fuel line was leaking as it went into the fuel filter. I had known that the fuel lines needed to be changed so I went to Auto Zone and got the line and had to go...

We got invited back up to my wife's boss's cabin again this weekend and I made my little photography trek around the Chickasaw NWR just to see what I could see. Here's a few pictures I got from Chisolm Lake and the adjacent NWR. Enjoy

Is there anyone on here from the Batesville, MS area that knows if Delta Tractor is still open? I've been trying to get in touch with them, but the phone just keeps ringing and ringing and the website (http://www.deltatractor.com) is not up either. I sure hope that nothing's happened to them...

While cutting food plots at our hunting property a couple of weeks ago I came around the bend and almost ran over my tail wheel which had broken the pin holding it on and was laying on the ground. We didn't have much left to do so I picked it up and kept on cutting. I also broke off the rusted...

This past weekend we went to my wife's boss's cabin. I went for a drive Sunday morning and this is a documentary of what happened on it. LINK REMOVED Let me know if it doesn't play or there's some other problem! Thanks, Mike

This week I'm buying a 2010 JD Z920A 54" cut, with a Kaw 26 hp mower to replace my 2000 Great Dane Surfer 52" cut with an 18 hp Kohler. I really love the compactness and maneuverability of the Dane, but the only blade adjustment is by adjusting washers on the blades, Also, the engine is now...

Drove back from Dallas yesterday along I30 and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. You guys 'n gals in East Texas definitely have some pretty areas. There were a number of places I saw that I would loved to have had the time to just pull of the interstate and drive around and explore.

Has anyone used this product? I've got a privacy fence around part of my property and it has 2 2 panel gates on it, one on each side of the house. I had to do an emergency replacement on one of the panels a few weeks ago and purchased one of the 2 rail systems. It went up great, is very sturdy...

Well OK, one is about the tractor and the other is about my finish mower. First, the tractor. One of my headlights is dim while the other is bright. I removed the dim one to get a replacement and I began wondering if maybe there was a different kind of bulb in each headlight. I took the good one...

Got out yesterday afternoon and did some maintenance on my tractor. Drained the oil & pulled the oil and air filters. I got to looking at the fuel filter too and noticed that it didn't have a water separator. I was wondering if that would be something beneficial to add? What would I look for at...

Just curious about anyone's preference on an heirloom seed supplier. I'm thinking that I'd like to use some of them in the garden this year so I'm starting to do some research. Are there any tips/suggestions I should think about in taking this route?

Bought a 36" Vizio TV over the holidays and got it set up. Didn't bother putting the batteries in the remote and tried to turn it on, THEN discovered that it's got NO FREAKING BUTTONS anywhere on it!!!! You HAVE to have the remote in order to operate it. I've never seen a TV that doesn't have...

I just upgraded from an S2 to an S3 and both came with their standard weather app which I uninstalled on both of them. I did like the dashboard for it but the maps were very clunky to use.The Weather Channel app for the S2 had a dashboard which allowed you to see the current temperature and type...

Came home this afternoon from the hospital (see my other thread "A Big Scare") to freshen up before going to work and found a strange pickup truck in my driveway. It appeared to be one of my son's friend's truck. Figuring that I had some teenage boys having a party in my house when they should...

My wife came home Thursday eveninig and said she had tried to open a jar with a stuck lid and when she cranked down on it a white hot pain shot out from her fingers all mthe way up her arm. She said it hurt so bad it took her to her knees. The rest of the afternoon she had no motor control of...

My wife has been in charge of our church's Breakfast With Santa for about 16 - 18 years. This year, for the first time since before she took over doing this benefit, our regular Santa isn't going to be there and I've been picked to help him out this year. (wink, wink, nod, nod) I'd always...

... and I took the good camera to try and catch some fall colors. We didn't catch many fish, but I did get one picture that I thought was worthwhile...

I'd never seen or heard of this response to 9/11 until today. Wow... BOATLIFT, An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience - YouTube

This is new territory for me (thinking ahead, that is) but one of the guys in our club and I were talking about taking one of the larger areas (well over an acre and maybe close to 2) that we didn't plant this fall and clearing it next spring and planting it in corn for the deer. This of course...

A couple of guys that hunt on our property down by the river were out deer hunting this past Saturday and they killed 3 coyotes with bows. I haven't gotten to talk to them yet; all I know is the 'yotes were out in the daylight which I thought didn't usually happen. Anyway, they're catfish bait...

This past Monday evening my granddaughters were over at our house with their Mom and my wife. We had set up a small moon bounce in our garage for a birthday party 2 days before and it was still up. The kids had been out there playing on the thing all day Saturday, Sunday and again that evening...

A friend here at work has several nephews who all play music very well. They just put a slick little video up on YouTube just acoustic guitar, bass and vocal. Very well done video and a cool little song for such young kids. Saints Don't Grieve - Kings & Queens - YouTube The guy playing guitar...

We were out last weekend cutting and discing our food plots at a new property and my buddy ran over a yellow jacket hive. He ended up getting stung about 8 times. My job was to come back behind him on my tractor and disc the area but it got too late that day so we're going back down there today...

We broke 2 shear bolts on the bushhog a couple of weeks ago and I went out and bought a half dozen spares to keep on hand. I thought they were 1/2" Grade 2 bolts. When I went to put one of them in last weekend I found out that they are too small to fit through the holes in the yoke although they...

I've mentioned before that we were given permission to hunt approx. 100 acres inside the levee right on the MS river. We went there early on in the summer and bushhogged a road up about 1/3 mile into the property. (The property extends about 1 mile in length and averages about 800-1000' in depth...

Found this little (or should I say BIG!) booger this morning while working out in my tomatoes. I found 2 more on other plants while I was out there so I guess there's a good bunch of them out there. What will take care of them?

Saw this yesterday and did some checking. He apparently has 3 large ponds on 170 acres that he owns and he's been collecting rainwater in them for years. At one point, he was told he didn't need permits for his ponds but later was told he was. He got the permits, then they were taken away from...

Two unrelated questions here concerning my tomatoes. I was experiencing bloom rot on my tomatoes when they started coming in and I was told to put Lime down around the plants and work it into the dirt. I put what I thought was a good amount but not too much and now we've had several days of...

This is the first year I've put in a garden. As a kid I got burned out on working in my Dad's garden but now I'm seeing the value in it. And, I'm actually having fun doing it! One thing that gets me though is that my cantaloupes either rot on the vine before they seem to be ready to pick, or if...

Do crickets eat tomatoes? I needed to add Lime to my tomatoes so I got up bright and early Saturday morning and used a trowel to loosen up the dirt around the trunk of the plants. While I was down there I noticed a number of big fat black crickets. I was thinking I'd like to catch some of them...

Put in a garden of my own for the 1st time this year and I've got a few questions Cantaloupes: - How to tell when they are ripe and ready to pick? - Do you turn them on the vine to keep the side that grew on the ground from rotting? - Do you put anything under them to keep the bottom side...

I'm always interested when one of you guys undertakes building a pond or lake. It's a big job that I'm sure can generate a whole range of emotions from the lows of wondering if it's going to dry up if rain doesn't come soon, to the highs of catching fish out of it or just taking some beautiful...

I just got permission to hunt about 100 acres of land between the levee and the MS river that hasn't been hunted actively in several years. The place is terribly grown over but this past weekend we went down there with a bushhog and a bobcat with a brush rake on it and started clearing a road...

Gonna go Monday and check out a new piece of hunting property and due to it's proximity to the MS River (borders on it), I'm sure there will be snakes galore. I'm looking at getting some snake boots for my son and I and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions. We'll probably end up at Bass...

My Ford 1510 has turf tires on it but I'm thinking (again) about getting a set of ag tires & wheels for it. I've got a couple of pieces of hunting land that we need to do some clearing and setting up food plots on and I'm just afraid that the turf tires won't cut it once we get to the plowing...

The farmer that farms our property told me he had a surprise for me and my sons yesterday and asked me to meet him after work. We did and he took us down to the river side of a levee and gave us permission to hunt a ~125 acre swath of land between the levee and the MS river. It'll be a a great...

I just received permission to hunt a tract of land right along the MS river. Our farmer took us down there today and showed us the boundaries of where we can hunt and told us that when he was a kid he used to hunt down there all the time and that there were several open areas that they planted...

My Uncle explains what happened to him when he tried to climb aboard his rolling tractor. He ended up with 96 broken bones and was out of commission for over a year. He's EXTREMELY lucky to be alive. If you listen he's still got a wheeze when he takes a deep breath. This is more a promotional...

They're just gonna keep on keepin on aren't they? Anger over gov't plans to dictate child farm labor (OneNewsNow.com)

I've been using my 5' no name bush hog for a couple of years now (I bought it used) and it works fine when I am going forward, but when I go in reverse the tail wheel spins around and wedges on the back skirt of the BH. Then it digs in until it can't anymore and I'm stopped in my tracks. I...

Got an envelope in the mail the other day informing me that I've been preselected to field test hunting gear for the North American Hunting Club. I get these things every couple of years and I always just trash 'em, but I got to wondering if anyone else here has taken them up on their offer and...

I spent this past weekend up at the North end of the White River in Arkansas at Gaston's Resort on a very nice trout fishing trip sponsored by my company. While eating in their restaurant, I noticed a machine bolted to one of the wood columns. (The whole place is a veritable museum of lots and...

Don't know if this has been linked before but I found this on YouTube and this guy is an idiosso. Too lazy to take the bush hog off and do it right I guess... trying to pull stump - YouTube

Spent last week at Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. This was the 1st time I'd been there since probably 1968-1970 when I was 10-12 yrs old. Weird thing is, I could see Gatlinburg as it was back then until I saw it this past week. Now, I can't see the old version any more; and I MISS IT!! I much...

I've got a 16' flatbed trailer that I just got back on the road after reflooring and rewiring it. I'd like to add some tiedown hooks to it and am wondering whether I should go with "through the floor" or have some welded on the frames? I will be carrying ATVs and my Ford 1510 with a bush hog...

I have an '07 Sierra with the factory Nav system but not the backup camera. I'd like to add the backup camera but I'm unsure about what I need. This truck doesn't have the DVD entertainment system so I don't know if the Nav screen is backup camera ready or if I have to get another screen. I also...

Re-decking my trailer and it's 76" wide. So after careful calculations I came to the conclusion that I needed (7) 2 X 10s and (1) 2 X 12. According to my calculations and the dimensions of lumber this is how I arrived at what I needed: 7 * 9.25 = 64.75 1 * 11.25 = 11.25 summed = 76 When I...

How much do I need to allow for shrinkage on deck boards for a 16' trailer? The boards I have are 16' 1" long and my channel length is 15' 11 3/4". I put about a 13" board on the front axle under the board and my son stood on it but it was still too long by about 1/4" to get in the rear channel...

I've been rewiring my 16' utility trailer and I'm adding an 9 LED light bar on the back of it. It has 3 wires, Red, Black, and White. I know that White goes to ground on the trailer and the instructions state "Attach the Black wire to operate the dimmer illumination of the light.Attach the Red...

I was browsing around last week on TBN and I read a couple of threads about people who are using a chain in place of the top link for their bush hog. Something about it being better if you are cutting a rough area because the chain lets the bush hog move around more than the stiff top link does...

I have a Campbell Hausfeld 4 hp horizontal 25 gal compressor that I'm wondering if it is running right. Something tells me it isn't but I don't know for sure. I plug it in and the tank fills up, then when it gets to the point at which it's set to turn off it does but air blows out of it until it...

OK guys, last week I posted a thread asking about box blading with turf tires on my tractor. It rained a LOT last night and my back yard swamp has reappeared so this morning I went out and took some pictures of the raging waters. This is NOT the worst it's been. It has come down to the point...

Last time it snowed my son asked if he and some of his friends could ride the 4 wheelers out on the 1 1/2 acre lot we own right behind our house. I said yes but I didn't realize that he was going to be out there all day, nor did I realize that he was going to have the whole county over to do it...

I was just out trolling around the web today and did a search for Ford 1510 which is the tractor I have. I saw the Everything Attachments website had a link to 1510 attachments so I clicked on it. Ford 1510 Tractor - Attachments - Specs I was pleasantly surprised to find they are using the...

I've got a Femco 26 gal. trailer sprayer that I tow behind my 1510 Ford and I discovered that it is leaking right around where the tank bolts to the trailer. It looks like there a small crack there that is letting my spray solution escape. After thinking about it, I arrived at the idea to take...

I've got a Ford 1510 and I'm wondering how to tell whether I have the Transmission PTO, or the Live PTO. I do know that I have the single stage clutch (my friend down the street has a 1310 with the dual stage clutch) but I don't know which PTO I have or how to tell. Why is one better than the...

I was searching today for drawbars and stabilizers and I came across a series of web pages that explained using drawbars, 3 point hitches and implements safely. I started reading just to see if there were any tips I could pick up. On one of the pages, it mentioned that you shouldn't make a turn...
