To bad you aren't closer to WI. I just saw my cousin has a 750 for sale and has 17 hours on it. I have a X740 diesel with 62" deck with 1250 hours on it. New in 2010? I think. Love it but my wife uses it mainly for cutting a few acres. They are super to drive and ride. It is comfortable...

What kind of bait do you find works best with live traps? I have a few of those little devils around and got a few with Duke squirrel traps nothing I do is consistent.

Those 65-66 JD 110s and attachments are worth quite a bit for collectors and hobbyists. Just like some cars. They were quality made and hold up quite well. They may not be as intuitive and easy to drive but they are popular in parades and tractor shows, especially around Illinois and Wisconsin.

My x740 calls for the 18 filter while the 3720, is a lot bigger tractor calls for the 19 filter. My guess is the 19 is the wrong filter for the 455 anyway.

I had a busy local tire shop put new tires on my GMC dually. Miles later I decided to rotate the tires myself. I was 260+ Pounds and had a heck of a time loosening the nuts. I used a 2' breaker bar and really leaned into it. On every nut, it just popped like a gun going off when broke loose...

Other than what others offered, what about leaving the wheel on the tractor and change the tire without removing the wheel. I never heard of that being done, but it might be worth a shot.

What about putting nuts on loose and run the tractor for a while checking on them now and then?

On the side I do NOT water eat away earth, I would make a bank of 45 degrees. Then I would line it with cattle fencing or metal screening and then cover it with stones about 12"-24" in diameter and pack it tight. Anything to keep your good side stable. Just my opinion and what I did. In...

Did the repair guy change the other rear stem also? Chances are that one will be bad in time also.

After having my 11' 6" tall camper sitting outside for years because of a 10' door I decided, after moving, on a 36x54 pole barn with 12' doors. But within a year we upgraded campers to a 13' 4" camper. It say outside for another 10 years until we moved again and put in a 15' opening in an old...

I saved a bunch of money roading my tractor 13 miles to a dealer with my bicycle in the bucket. The problem was it was all uphill on the return trip home. I thought I was going to die in the first 1/2 mile. It was trailered after that unless it was a quick recall job.

I use windshield washer as well as Camper antifreeze. Whichever is cheaper at the time.

In 2002 I tried pulling a heavy duty round bar out of a plot needed for a garden for my son. I backed by 3 month old GMC beautiful diesel dually up to it and hooked up the chain. One tug or two the chain slipped off and the hook put a 1" dent right in the center of a nice smooth black...

I have about 20+ apple, peach and pear trees. 3 years ago I got about 28 6 gallon buckets of apples and they had just started producing a year or so before that. A year after that there were thousands of fruits started and the squirrels began their reign of terror. Kill them and more take...
