Thanks for the replies. I admit I had to look up what a Toolcat and gannon are.

I live on a hill without a lot of flat ground so I'm stopped on a hill frequently. I turn sideways when I can or turn the front wheels towards the hill but that's not always possible. I'm talking about short term parking, maybe 5 or 10 minutes. I could turn the tractor off and leave it in gear...

Thanks for your reply. I should have said mine are NPT.

I've read some say only use pipe joint compound on threads. Is there a special hydraulic compound or will any brand do? The Oatey ordinary plumbers pipe joint compound I have says good to 10K PSI with liquids. What's the consensus on the yellow teflon tape made for contact with gasoline and...

Thanks to all for the great advice. And thanks for the link Lou. They want more slack in the mounted chain than I would have thought. I always thought the tighter the better.

Ok,so not unusual. Thanks

I’m putting on my new tire chains for the first time and have a question. There is a lot of slack chain left and I haven’t even rolled a bit to readjust them. Is this normal? Should I cut some of that extra length off or zip tie the excess etc.? They are Aquiline Talons 16.9 - 24. Are R-1 Ag...

This was in the bottom of an old tool box I've had for years. Looking at images most are gray letters with a blue background. Mine is blue letters with a gray background. What's the difference? I only have the one. Looks like it's the left side. Thanks

Thanks, I'll look it over. A friend of mine thinks it's an International, (or Farmall), that's been converted to 3 point hitch.

And if so where can I get a new pitman arm? Will a New Idea PA work? Mine is 35.5" long. I know, I should go find some hornbeam and make my own. Maybe someday but not yet. Thanks

Thanks for the knowledge. I hadn't thought about side tire coverage.

After searching a bit, looks like 14.9s are about 7" shorter in circumference. Probably can't stretch 7" to make them fit. I guess I could add a couple links for length. Any thoughts? These are used chains.

Will chains listed as fitting 14.9 x 24 tire, fit on a tire marked 16.9 x 24? Thanks for any wisdom.

Thanks TT.

I picked up this piece years ago...well because it was free. I know it's not all there but thanks for any insights.
