I need to remove the dash on my Kubota M 6800, so the steering wheel has to come off. Obviously I need a special tool. Thought about adapting a gear puller but don't want to damage the plastic. Any tips?? I assume this is just a splined shaft with a pressed on wheel. Are there any other...

Any new from EddieWalker. I don't know about you guys, but I miss his input. Hope he is getting through this tough time o.k. Hey Eddie, we miss you!

I will soon be in the market for tires for my 06 F 350 SRW, 4 WD. Size is 275/65-20. Looks like its either Michelin LTX A/T II, or Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2, Dunlop Rover MT, or several versions of the Goodyear Wranglers. BF Goodrich does not make this size, so I would have to go up one...

I have read about running an Oasis report on a used Ford truck to see what warranty work has been done on it. Does anyone know anything about these and if so, how does one go about obtaining a report on a specific VIN #? I am the gambler who just bought a '06 F 350 diesel, despite warnings and...

I was not really shopping for a truck but ran across a 06 F 350 (SRW) Lariat 4 WD diesel with 175,000 miles. I will trade my '96 F 250 4 WD (195,000 mi). I use it primarily for hunting, so not an everyday driver. I do tow a gooseneck pulling a 8,000 lb Kubota M 6800 and implements, which...

Several years ago, I built a 40' x 40' pole shed on a 300 acre wooded tract for tractor storage. I realize laws vary in each state or county, (I am in Greenville Co., S.C.) but was curious if you guys obtained permits for similar work. I operated under the premise that since this was not a...

Many times I have wished I could weld! I am thinking about buying a Miller 135 MIG as a beginning machine (I don't want to go to a 220V due to my shop limitations). So help me justify buying one! What projects have you done (or repairs) that could be done with a welder of this size? Give me...

Just bought a Ford 101 three bottom plow for $375. Has lots of wear, so I plan to restore it. I have three questions for you plow experts. First, I am having trouble finding landsides. The rear is 21 " with 5 holes and the other two are 16" with 3 holes. If I don't replace these, my frog...

Thought I would share a great resource for plow parts. Information about all makes of plows is really hard to find (or at least was for me). This site has detailed information about plowshares, shins, moldboards, etc. It includes detailed information on dimensions, hole patterns, and size of...

I just bought a used plow and it was working great, until I snagged a buried rock. I was probably going a little fast but I never expected any big rock where I was. Unfortunately, my plow (Ford Model 10-216 two bottom) has no trip protection or shear pins. I broke the bolts attaching the...

Does anyone make a connector for a 2" bung on a 55 gal. metal drum that allows a standard hand pump to be installed without spinning the entire pump and hose assembly. In other words, that would allow just dropping in the suction pipe and having a coupling that could be tightened with a wrench...

After I disc up a food plot, the ground is of course fairly irregular. I made a drag harrow out of 3 pieces of heavy angle iron linked together with chain and then drag it around, and this works pretty good. My question is do any of you guys attach a drag harrow to the back of the disc harrow...

I found an old used disc plow with two round disc rather than moldboards. Sorry not to have pictures, but was just curious as how a disc plow compares to the traditional moldboard style. Seems there is lots of force being placed on a disc running almost at a right angle to the direction of...

I am considering a good plow to cut up food plots before discing. I know nothing about them so please clue me in on what would be recommended to pull behind a 68 hp M6800, 4 WD, with loaded ag tires. Soil varies, but has some clay and rocks. My disc just doesn't cut well unless it is somewhat...

Any advice on making food plot preparation easier? I have a M 6800 Kubota and a 20 X 20 disc harrow which weighs around 700 lbs. We plant about 20 plots of various sizes, some tend to be a little rocky. Some have clay. Others are good riverbottom soil. We usually plant in early fall and...
