    I'm thinking I have a clutch issue

    Well I was finally able to work on the tractor some more Friday afternoon. Ended up splitting it about 9:00 Friday evening. You can see at that point what state the tractor was in. You can see the flywheel area in the 3rd pic. Didn't notice any scaring or anything on it. 4th and 5th pics are of...

    I'm thinking I have a clutch issue

    Thanks Jerry, comparing this to when I split it for the leak of the hydrostatic pump, this one makes that seem like a walk in the park.

    I'm thinking I have a clutch issue

    This is the last two pics for now. This is the current state. I think I've got all the hydraulic lines disconnected and almost all of the wires. I know there is still one, but I'm doing it in order by what the repair manual says. I need to make 4 guide pins for it yet. Got to get to the point I...

    I'm thinking I have a clutch issue

    Well guys, I put the clutch replacement off as long as I could. The tractor started leaking some hydro fluid when mowing, well not really a leak, more of a geyser. I could use it without the deck (it stays cooler) and no leak, but I need to mow. So while I don't know where the actual leak is...

    Gettin' in over our head.....

    OK, I've fallen way behind on keeping this thread updated. Been too busy working on the room to tell about the room.:whistling: We are getting real close to finishing. At this point it is functional. The electrical is all done. Plumbing is finished other than a hot water outlet for a water hose...

    We've never had two in the same bucket, but we had one that would take a water bucket and purposely knock it over, stick her head in it and pick it up. She would then walk around for hours at a time with it on her head or just stand in the field with it on. We always said she wasn't quite right...

    In the tack room I did not use plywood clips. It is only 8x8 so just two sheets. What I did was run a 2x4 parallel to the trusses. This cut the 4' span between the trusses to 2' and it also happened to fall right at the joint of the OSB. Since I'm able to put he screws right at the edges, I...

    Oh and we've wrapped breeding season up once again. Got everyone bred that we wanted except one. And we actually think she bred but aborted. We've been wanting to move her along as she always had trouble kidding. So that we did just that and was honest with the folks that bought her and priced...

    Some More Pics....getting creative with replies, Vbulletin doesn't like duplicate posts Yes, I was bad on my electric. I was pushing and getting tired. I got to the point I wasn't even trying to line the holes up for the wire, however I could stand and was comfortable is where the hole got...

    Gettin' in over our head.....

    More Pics If you look real close you'll see the left section the studs aren't plum. The top plate got flipped end to end after I marked the location of the studs and I didn't notice it until the wall was up. Since it is non-load bearing and this wall was a bit of a booger to get in, it is...

    OK, haven't posted in a long time. We had a pretty successful show season including the trip to Harrisburg for Nationals, Ohio State Fair, County Fair, and NAILE in Louisville, along with numerous club shows. I couldn't begin to tell you who got what at what shows (my daughter could). Overall a...

    Had a meet up yesterday

    As some/most of you know, we have a small goat farm. We have been in the process of building a milk room/tack area in the barn. When we went to the National ADGA show last year, BCZoom mentioned that he had some material for it that he would sale me. I wasn't able to swing it at that time as we...

    Didn't realize you were offering the whole stack. Certainly couldn't take that in the pickup with the camper. It overloads the truck by itself. The stock trailer will be loaded as well. But if you are serious about me picking it up, you aren't that far that it would be a big deal for me to make...

    I've been toying with different ways to go. If I'm reading the online maps correctly and using the toll calculator, it looks like it will be about $35 each way per vehicle in tolls. So about $150 in tolls. I was kind of thinking more along the lines of taking Rt. 50 over to 339 to 68 to 79 to 40...

    Kidding season has finally come to an end. Don't remember the exact numbers, but I believe it was close to 40 kids on the ground by the time it was all said and done. We've only been to one dairy show and one Boer show so far this year. Had 2 goats each get a leg at the dairy show. Then at the...

    A little bit of both. :hide: We haven't made money yet, but I think we are getting real close now that we are getting a lot of the infrastructure in place and we are getting our numbers up. The way things look this year, they should pay their feed bill. Not to say we aren't going to have...
