Seems to be a rash of steering problems on here lately. I know the steering cylinder is shot because it leaked and, when I toook it apart, the ram is bent and the nylon seals are shot. Like a lot of other folks with steering issues, the steering wheel would turn and turn so I am assuming the...

I just bought an earthway seeder, three of them actually. I have seen on the Sutton Ag website (Sutton Ag - Earthway Seed Planter) that they can be joined to plant multiple rows at a time. Sutton has a picture on the website. I am planting a large food plot of corn and soybeans and would...

Hello All: I posted this in the Attachments discussion, but since you guys have been so helpful in the past, I thought I would try here too. Here goes: I bought a 47 in. NorTrac Tiller from Northern Tool. I need replacement tines. The factory tines are cast iron, very brittle and break...

I bought a 47 in. Nortrac Tiller from Northern Tool. I need replacement tines. The factory tines are cast iron, very brittle and break pretty easily. Any ideas for a replacement set made out of steel? Thanks in advance. Ed.

Hey All: I think I may have fried the engine in my Farm Pro 2425, well I didn't fry it, my brother-in-law used it and it looks like the rear main went and he lost all of the oil and didn't know it. Anyway, I see I can get a new engine for about $1800. I could rebuild it, but the parts keep...

Hello all: I have a couple of issues. First what is the easiest way to get a FEL (FarmPro) off the Farm Pro 2425 tractor? Second rear engine oil seal. Do I have to break the tractor in two to get at it? Is it behind the flywheel? Or can I get at it through the oil pan? Many, many thanks in...

Well I got he 2425 split in two. Finally got the ATV jack(see my 8-13-06 post) I was waiting for. The ATV jack worked great. I used it under the back end to roll the tractor back. I propped up the front with a floor jack and then set it on a couple of jack stands after the split. The problem...

Well I think I did it. Trashed the clutch on my 2425. I was brushing a food plot for deer and tried to push over a small tree. There was no noise indicating a major failure. I put the tractor in reverse and it just wouldn't move. Tried all the obvious. Checked the Hi/Lo levers 4WD levers...

I have a few issues with my hoe: 1. I have a leaky control /spool valve that swings the boom left & right. Hydraulic fluid leaks from a weep hole in the bottom. What can I expect if I take it apart? Are there "O" rings in there? I have some mechanical background (4 years in the USMC) but...

Hey Folks! Happy Holidays! I bought a six foot scraper blade (farm pro brand) for the 2425. Problem: They didn't give me the two upright braces that go to the top point to the 3 pt hitch to the frame with the other two 3 pt attachments.The place I bought it from went belly up. I didn't...

I have a problem. I got my 2425 stuck clearing trails. I put in in 4WD creeper no go. I locked the differential and got out O.K. Now when the left front tire is straight, the right front tire is turning to the right. I know you are not supposed to try to turn with the differential...

The seat on the 2425 has a bearing that allows the seat to swivel on a post 360 degrees for the backhoe. I knew the bearing was junk, and after a year it finally fell apart. Any suggestions for a replacement bearing or perhaps a replacement seat (prefeaby a spring seat) would be helpful. I...

Got a problem with my 3 Pt. the arms are stuck in the "up" position. No amount of "persuasion" can get them to budge. Any ideas?
