Well, were having a bumper crop of snakes this year. Perhaps the worst year since I've been here (5 years). And the season is still young. I’ve taken all the precautions I can think of….and still, here they are. We’ve mowed, cut, string trimmed, and even used snake away (last year-almost...

Saturday: I just can’t seem to deliver this tractor! It ran, shifted and clutched just fine when I drove it in the shop…and now?? Well, I pulled the compression release, fired up the glow plugs, depressed the clutch, released the compression handle and hit the starter…..bang, cough, chug...

Part lll - Time To Paint! (Note, if you paint or want to, and never have another run in your work consider how useful a Test Panel really is. I use them often to avoid runs, control the flash times, check for moisture and contaminates and time this piece with everything else setup and ready to...

It has been suggested by some here that we have a place where any NTT member can conveniently locate for help with spray painting and basic body work. I would like to offer my contributions by using a Kubota L2201 as the test subject. It was brought to my shop with a few minor mechanical issues...

Hey Guys and Gals, I recently acquired an old GT garden tractor of the late ‘60’s early ‘70’s era. It’s an SS-12 Sears. My original intentions were to restore the little tractor just for fun but the previous owner did some troublesome and moderately malicious ‘butchering’ while replacing the...

Has anyone caught this program on the History (or Science) channel? I feel it necessary to explain my own interpretation of just what UFO means to me. I take the term UFO quite literally. As in unidentified flying objects and nothing more. Unidentified, to me, is as of yet unrecognized or...

A slightly different kind of Kubota Always been fascinated with these types of murdercycles…but the guys that engineered this one, well…My hats off to them. Interesting read, and it’s been to Sturgis 3 years running. Here's the whole story and an interesting read - IF you enjoy this kind of...

Hey WESINTEX, WELCOME to NTT! (from another Texan) Pretty impressive pedigree of tractors and equipment you’ve got there (in your profile). And a hundred acres to play on to boot. When you get the opportunity We’d love to see pictures of your property and what you work with. Mark

Ford Lovers... I saw this a few months back on E-Bay. His reserve was $25K and although it might be one of the nicest restorations I've ever seen on a "N" I don't know if it sold or not... Anyone remember this one? Mark

Yesterday someone asked me if I would recommend this dealer…we’ll cal him XYZ. I spent over an hour while visiting their web site and pulled, posted and added underlying notations. I was thinking that I should use this as a warning for our members here, that may be entertaining the idea of a...

First off….I wish I had pictures and this story took place last year! I just think it is so cool when I (we) get to see pictures regardless of the project. Anything from machinery to tractors has always fascinated me. Including all facets and stages from 'rattle can' to custom high dollar...

The title of this thread, and like other references to Happy Veterans Day, has always been a bit of an oxymoron for me. I don't mean, or imply that veterans shouldn't be happy...but like my friends, military comrades and current veterans in foreign lands, I want *Happy* to be interpreted AS...

Hey Folks, I found the contents of this thread very useful. If anyone has a generator, magneto, current limiter/voltage regulator set up...then you probably understand why this type of upgrade is such an improvement over the stock factory set up. The smaller Yanmar diesel tractors (and all...

I just had to bring this over to show our baby boomer friends...They Will Know What I Mean: It was fun being a baby boomer... until now. Some of the artists of the 60's are revising their hits and looking really old, with new lyrics to accommodate aging baby boomers. They include: Herman's...

Finally...and sorry it took so long! Here are a few pics from a real tractor guy walking through his local dealership in WI. I'm always more impressed by candid shots from tractor "People" rather than cosmetic factory or advertisement shots anyway. At first, I was a little shocked at it's size...

Hi folks... I'm looking for a source of undeniable proof that the JD790 tractor is no longer in production. My sources indicate that the JD2210 and the JD790 have stopped production and probably due to the contract end with Yanmar. Those same sources that provide this information, although...

Some of these are kinda funny......... You own a lawn tractor even though you live in a condominium. You wore bib overalls at your wedding. Instead of family pictures in your wallet you have pictures of all your tractors. All of your tractors have names. You spend more than five minutes a...
