Does anyone have experience with the International Harvester 6 Speed Special? I have a 1927 and would like some/any information.

So I have a friend that just bought a Mitsubishi MTX245 gray market. Can’t read any of the labels. Need to know what the switches and levers do. Does anyone have knowledge with this tractor that can help out? Thanks Phil

Thank you all for your input. I ended up buying a Frontier 3070 front rotation from my local JD dealer. The green doesn’t look too bad with the red tractor. A real stout looking machine at half the cost of some of the others I was looking at. I did learn how to measure and cut the PTO shaft from...

Hello all, I recently purchased a new tiller to make my wife a garden on our farm. Ive been reading you don't want to till the land until it has dried out or you will make mud rocks? Our land is grass field now and I will be turning it for the first time in probably 50 years. It used to be used...

Hey all, I have a YT359 60hp tractor and am looking to buy my first tiller. Don't let the size of the tractor fool you, I am a greenhorn. I have found a used RSB 1500 and RSB 1503 both for about $800. I only need it for the wifes garden and don't have any plans beyond that yet. I am searching...

Not sure the hours on our YT359C but I've been working it hard the last year with no issus till now. Have a sticky FEL stick (see new thread). Love our tractor.

I have a YT359C and my FEL lever is sticking. Started out when I raised it up a little and let go it wouldn't go to center. Found this out while backing after filling bucket with load of wood. When I looked forward caught bucket straight up in the air just before dumping wood on the hood. Now it...

I am new to welding and looking to get the most bang for my buck. I was looking at a Lincoln Mig 210 MP $1400. Then I saw this online review of an Alpha Mig250 $1100. Then saw the Eastwood Mig250i $1100. The Alpa and Eastwood look identical accept for color and length/tips. I like the 15'...

I have a YT359 bought the maintenance kit. The kit comes with one hydraulic filter which looks like the "In Line Filter" from the manual that runs from the rear of the machine to the front. There is another filter that runs from the right side to the left which the book calls the "Transmission...

Used the tractor for all the dirt work to build this ridding arena.

I have a Yt359C and am trying to figure out what kind of male fitting fits? I think it is half inch? Does it matter if it has round ball on the end or the pointy tip? I purchased a new grapple and back blade and they both came with 3/4" fittings. Any help and info would be great.

I just had the 3rd funtion installed and don't have an attachment to try it on. On my FEL control stick there is one new button. How will this operate a grapple? I expected a toggle switch, one way to open the other to close. The single button has me confused.

Ok all, trying to build my wife a ridding arena. I have a 60hp compact tractor. I was thinking of getting an over sized landscape roller to use on the three point to compact each layer. Any of you done this? Have any ideas? Am I way off base and should rent a small drive able roller? Thanks in...

Well I've gotten two good days of use out of the machine and couldn't be happier. Also made some upgrades. First I added Pirana Teeth to the bucket cut blade. Have to say it is great. Install is easy and it fits solid. Works great getting rid of black berries and as a rake to back drag them up...
