You are right to the point draft control responds to the force either applied to the top link as the implement tried to rotate on the lower hitch pins, or by the pull applied to the lower lift links. The second has been used on later tractors and especially on electronic controlled hitches. The...

It is not necessarily the weight that will help the tractor pull the plow.With 111 horsepower you have enough for MOST conditions. Your tractor also uses electronic lower link sensing which can transfer weight to the tractor as it naintains the plow depth. Just like the old mechanical draft...

1. Can you see thru the radiator core? Have had many complaints of overheating to find the core was plugged with dirt and air could not pass through the core. Is the bottom hose cooler than the top? if not the radiator is not doing its job. Also be sure air can freely flow thru all other heat...

The tag mentioned in a previous post will verify but believe it is a model 41 Dyna Balance Mower. Except someone has taken the PTO shaft off and replaced it with a hydraulic motor, and changed the 3 point arm lift to a hydraulic lift cylinder. They also welded the whole frame work on top. Here...

My son calls it Horrible Freight.

1956 dad bought a new JD 70 diesel (about 50 hp) , hitch and 3 bottom plow for $3900. 1967 I started working for $2.35 about $100 a week and after filling the gas tank for a few dollars I had plenty left over. 1972 A new MF 760 diesel, a/c, 14 foot grain table and 6 row corn head $39,000. 1987 A...

Have you engaged the diff lock with one wheel spinning and the other standing still? If so you may have destroyed the diff lock. Diff lock on small tractors is a mechanical positive engagement device. There are either pins the slide into holes or dogs that lock into the differential cage to...

A basic review of hydraulics. 1 a pump moves oil it does not create pressure. 2. a valve controls how oil is directed. 3. In an open center system oil MUST not be stopped. If flow is stopped a big bang will happen wether a hose, pump, drive shaft, or relief valve. 4. The load applied to the...

Check and/or clean all cable connections at batery and the connections where the "other end" of the cables attach. If any isolation mounts are used for the engine be sure there is a good connection between engine and frame, especially if the battery gronds to the frame. If you don't have one...

Yes I know the pulling tractor is the xtreme, but it is an example of what overfueling can do. Some tractors may be able to stand 10% but some cannot without bad things happening. Years ago working for a MF dealer had a customer that purchased a 255 diesel. As with most he did not want to pay...

The drawbar length is crucial for proper PTO shaft engagement and operation. A 1000 RPM PTO system is typically found on more modern and higher horsepower tractors and is designed to handle heavier implements. The 16-inch measurement is a standard for 1000 RPM PTOs and ensures the PTO shaft can...

Called my dogs over to see what they would do and they just went back, laid down and went to sleep!

Years ago I knew a farmer that installed turbos on his tractors for improved fuel efficency. Went to White service school and they showed us the gears in the 2-135 transmission and the 2-155 transmission. They 2-155 was about 1/4 inch wider just to handle that 20 horsepower. Want to see what...
