Thanks Tinhack, I haven't seen anything obvious on the seat. I haven't had time to mess with it lately. I need to get on it though so I have it for mowing season. Think I'll pull the seat out where I can get to it on a table. Hard to get to anything in the cab
Just bought a 2017 Mahindra Mpower 85 and it has a Sears Seating pneumatic seat. Seat pumps up fine but as soon as I sit on it the seat bottoms out. I can't find any adjustment on it anywhere except for the button for the pump. I've never messed with this kind of seat before. Anybody have...
Doing spring maintenance on my new (last year) Rhino TS 12 batwing and had a question about the drive shaft. Owners manual shows grease zerk on the shaft with an opening in the shaft cover to access it. The hole is there in the cover but after several attempts I can find no grease zerk...
Wow had to search to find this old thread. Life got busy and the cultipacker project got shoved to the back burner for a while. Now it is even more hectic with me retiring at the end of the month. We sold our house in 4 days so I will be homeless July 1. I moved my cultipacker wheels and...
I have been looking at a JD 750 dozer and noticed that the exhaust manifold has a weld right about the center of the manifold. No signs of cracking or leaking otherwise but just wondered about whether this is a red flag i.e. overheating the engine or just a flawed casting that is not a big...
Our local spring equipment auction has a NH 451 that is in "fair" ?? shape but I am not very familiar with these cutters other than my grandfather used to use them for cutting his hay. I need a sickle mower for the usual pond banks, dams type of cutting. This one has the 9ft bar which I like...
I have a Kubota M8200 80HP with a category II hitch. I want to put in small food plots - acre or less on my property and a dove field - sunflowers. Been looking for small planters but most are for Category 1 tractors. Not crazy about buying junk and rebuilding it when I see new ones for...
I have 55 acres that is mostly grassland, former pasture and I have it enrolled in a conservation stewardship plan which means right now I cannot mow it until after Aug. 1. The grasses are fescue, orchard grass, switchgrass, lespedeza and some timothy. I mow about 2 acres around the barn and...
For those of you rebuilding old equipment and need to replace wood bushings/bearings, this site was posted on the QDMA site:
Odd Shaped Custom Bearings | Woodex
Looks like they have exactly the one I need for my cultipacker and they build custom also.
I have all the cracked wheels welded and back home. Waiting on three new ones that just shipped from Everything Attachments and I will have all the wheels in good shape for re-assembly. Right now everything is stacked in the garage waiting for me to get back to work on it. Got the metal to...
The one I was looking at was one of those on Tractorhouse. Bought it this afternoon. No beauty and it needs some TLC but I like working on old stuff and restoring it. Needs a bearing or two and 1 disk. Of course I will wind up tearing it apart, painting it and rebuilding it eventually. Only...
Progress on repairing parts on the cultipacker! Our Sr. welding instructor took a personal interest in this project and instead of having students braze the cracked wheel hubs (which was not working out very well) he took them home and used some nickle alloy rods made for welding cast iron and...
Was installing Pat's quick hitch on my Kubota and noticed the left 3 pt lift arm angle was different. Didnt notice that when i bought it but now i see that something has hit it hard going out toward the tire. That arm will not come in toward the center as much as the right one and i cant see...
