When I first saw this link I thought what can I learn from that? But I actually learned a little bit more about my draft control, and I wonder if it would be helpful to use on my rear blade when plowing snow? I can set it, but if I start loosing traction in a heavy snow the blade might...

Mith, A spiffy logging arch will keep your trees out of the mud....

Those defenders are sweet looking machines,COngrats!!! but everyone I know of up here in "salt the roads so people from Massachaussest dont slip and fall" have rotted frames, (but nice shiny aluminum bodies)but than again, any car over 10 years old has a rotted frame due to the salt. The LR...

Cali, Like I said, I run 50/50 and throw in any additive that makes sense, whites/howes/stabil/purple nurple, etc and I think that will help with your "cold"(ha!) starts and particulate issues

Cali, I have run some percentage of Biodiesel in all my diesels old and new for a few years no with no ill effects to anything mechanical. In fact, the new ulsd that is now being forced on us does not have enough lubricity and lots of metal is showing up in oil analysis of fleet rigs. An...

When I first saw the link I was thinking M57 as in 50+horse machine. The hours wouldn't scare me as much as the price(if you had some assuranc it had been well maintained). But that is a ask $2500 and take $1500 if I have ever seen one.

HI folks, The wing blade is still getting it done!!! Happy Happy!!!!!

HI, I was away for the holidays, but before I left I did run out to the rig and swap the fuel filter. Go figure, it fired right away even though it was only 15 degrees. I was going to check the glowplugs, but it started so quick and I had some snow to move so I didn't. I do run Howes diesel...

Yep, Turfs will do you. I am a fan of R-1 ag jobs myself, but go figure, I have a farm. R-4's are great if they only see dry concrete and tar (Ie construction sites) In my opinion, R-4's are overated for non construction use...I have buried a few r-4 jobs where they r-1's walk right...

Mith, I like your injector theory. I haven't had working glowplugs in years. How pain in the butt is an injector change? Should I ATF the fuel tank first???

Hi, my old kubota is really hard to start this winter even though it is only about 20 degrees(as opposed to -20). I have to hook it to the start cart every time and it spins fast but I really have to stay after it, cycling in 10 second intervals 5X or so. I am worried I am going to cook the...

I have used a 3 part sealer kit for my motorcycle tank with good results. It was called Kreme I believe or Kreem or Kream....somthing like that. Any whoo, you pull the tank and plug all the holes with significant plugs. Not duct tape around your old undewear, it ain't gunna do it. You need...

Halffasst, I am curous how your wrenching went. It seems that those flatheads are pretty simple. NOw on that note, there are converson kits to bolt a flathead V8 into your rig....now that would get the neighbors talking if your 4 banger ended up being a boat anchor.

I have seen one made from a standard back blade for a smaller machine. If I was building it, I would remove the blade(if feasible) from the 3pt mount and hang it from a peice of RR track that had ball hitch (for flexibility) at one end and a mobile home axle at the other. I might brace the RR...

Nica, I see those horse drawn rigs in the weeds all the time around here. Thay aren't orange, but I know where two are as I type (if the scrappers haven't got to them yet). I bet a run in the want ads will turn you up one quickly if that is something you just have to have. I bet your...

I have done these things and it appears the problem is the idler. It all spins fine, but there is some belt residue on the retaining wire below the idler. I swapped in a different idler (pays to have a junk pile) but it didn't work out because of the geometry. I thought increasing the spring...

Hi, I picked up a "free" Hystat 15 horse Ariens and got it going without much effort, but the mower (electric PTO) keeps throwing/burning/shredding belts. THe blades seem to spin freely. ANy ideas?

Cow hand, I have an ol cub cadet 149 that is lets out a squeak every tme I open one of your threads. It is just begging for a restore (has the speed creep problem) Interstingly, I just busted out my harbor freight paint gun for the first time today and it did a fine job painting a neighbors...

NIca, I kind of am in the same boat you are. I have identified a site, but havent done too much about it. What is really silly about this is I have a 40,000 lb trackhoe and a dump truck! BUt I have done a little bit of research. #1 is get a permit. I have heard horror sories about the...

I say pass since it doesnt have an FEL or 4x4 which I think are manadatory (and you think you want) on sub 40 horse machines.... If it was $5000 I might consider but since it aint.....
