The dog clutch on my Troybilt rototiller is frozen to the shaft in the disengaged position. I have been soaking it with PB Blaster for several days, but that doesn't seem to be doing much. It is about 2" back in an approx 2" diameter hole, so it is essentially impossible to get a gear puller...

Here's some pix of a couple of tractors sitting alongside the road in a nearby town, waiting for someone to restore.

The wife has hinted she would mow the grass around the house (we don't have a lawn, just the same blend of grama grass, wild alfalfa, and other select weeds that inhabit the remainder of our property, a former horse/cow pasture). The only mower we have is my Yanmar with a rotary cutter, which...

The quick hitch I ordered weeks ago from HF arrived today. After looking at it and holding it up to my box blade, I have a couple of questions for California and anyone else with experience with them. First, there is about 3/8" extra gap around the lower pins when the hitch is closed. That...

I figured that a good use for part of the "tax rebate" check that is supposed to be in the mail would be a 3-point quick hitch from HF, as suggested earlier on this forum. The HF website has two. The only difference that I could see is $15 in price...

As I recall the conventional wisdom is that the maximum antifreeze mixture for a Yanmar thermosiphon cooling system is 70-30. That gives a freeze protection of 7 deg F, which is borderline for my area. Therefore I have been keeping mine at 50-50, especially for winter operation. The last year...

This ad appeared in a local paper last week. Wish there were a picture included. I've never seen one of these:

I have been playing with some old negatives my mother had. I thought a couple of them might interesting for this forum. The first was taken in 1939 in the North Park area of Colorado, near Walden. The second was taken about the same time, probably somewhere else in Colorado. The tractor is a...

I logged on to FF today and found the link to this forum. Noticed that Thcri was #10. Figured I'd join quickly to see if I could get a low number, too. Looks like two digit numbers are still available. I, like others here, am a refugee from the other tractor forum, tho I haven't been banned yet.
