I have a Ford 5000 that won't shift into neutral. I took the shift plate off and can't align the shift forks. It is stalling the engine when in gear and I can't seem to find anywhere it is binding. It seems to be stuck in two gears. I am going to drain the fluid to see if perhaps there is a...

Hello, I purchased this John Deere Sickle Mower and can't make out the exact model I have. I am posting some pictures of it and the serial plate. It says E039?? (obscured) on the data plate. It is missing the Pittman arm that goes between the flywheel and the blade. It appears to be...

I saw an old film on youtube from the 50's of a Ford tractor with a hedge clipper type mower on it. It is located at about 4:20 minutes into the video on youtube at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZOgbAk01Ug Does anyone know if this type of "mower" is still made today? I don't...

I posted this question on the Bobcat forum also but just realized this is probably the more appropriate forum to ask this. I have 104 acres that were clear cut 6-7 years ago and need about 60-65 acres of it thinned from around 2000 trees/acre to 600 trees/acre. This was originally a loblolly...

One other thing I wanted to ask here if I could. I have a Brown Tree Cutter that I tried to use with a Ford 5000 tractor but when I backed into the trees, I could only go about 10-15 feet before the pine trees "bunched up" behind the cutter and it created enough drag to cause my tractor wheels...

OK I finally made it back to my farm. I have a standard flow unit. No high flow sticker and the high flow button light does not stay on. Trees are Loblolly pine and the ones I want to thin out are around 2-3 inch size. I want to keep the bigger ones. I'm going to try and attach a few...

Does anyone know of a forestry mulcher that will work with a Bobcat S250? I have a 104 acre farm that was clear cut and have a lot of junk trees I need to thin. I have around 3000 trees per acre and need to thin them down to 600 trees per acre. I don't know if I have enough hydraulic flow to...

My tachometer needle was stuck on my Ford 5000 tractor gauge cluster. I tapped it with my glove and managed to shatter the glass on it :( Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for the glass cover? I called the local New Holland dealership and they want to sell me a new bezel. All I...

Anyone have a Ditch Witch 2310 manual? I just obtained one and am looking for a manual / parts list for it. Thanks

Looking to get a used bulldozer to clear off some land I am going to acquire that was clear cut. Hopefully I can find out on the forum if this is feasible and if I should do this or if I am getting a money pit ;)
