    1920 - Trouble separating reduction gearbox (front axle)

    Thanks old grind. I do have the I&T as well as the OEM service manual. They just say to "separate" the bevel gear case form idler case. Maybe I need to pull the whole assembly from the axle and work it in the bench...

    1920 - Trouble separating reduction gearbox (front axle)

    I've had a decent leak from my front axle between the idler gear case (#13 below) and bevel gear case (#9) for the past few years and today finally tried (and failed) to fix it. After removing the king pin cover (#21) and the wheel hub (#4) I could not get the bevel gear case to separate from...

    Heavier Duty Rear Forks?

    I have (had) the Titan Attachment rear 3 point forks (here) and generally really liked them. I like the adjustable width and chain hook. Problem is I mangled them up pretty good lifting some larger logs. Is any one familiar with similar forks that are rated for closer to 2500lb? I've see...

    NH 1920 Weak Starter? Barely Cranks, Won't Turn Over

    First off, sorry for the 8th post today about a tractor not starting. I tried searching .. but wasn't finding what I'm looking for. Other than a long nagging issue of low oil pressure on startup (takes 5 sec to build pressure) the tractor has always started right up hard. Last weekend I shut...

    Grate for Drainage Pipe Inlet?

    Thanks for the feedback so far. Here are some photos. I said clogged before, but actually it was buried. My plan is to dig it out further then build a stone headwall, similar to what jmc attached, but...stone. Also, you can see from the outlet that its been eroding back real bad. I'm...

    Grate for Drainage Pipe Inlet?

    My property and a neighbors has a series of swales/ditches that lead to a pooling area before entering 100ft or so 15" clay pipe. This has been clogged up since I moved in 5 years ago and I finally dug it out today. I found a section of cinder block had made its way in and allowed it to clog...

    Forks  Thoughts on bucket fork maneuverability

    I have a set of bucket forks for my NH 1920. Super useful, but man are they tough to maneuver in a tight space. I'm mainly trying to move pallets of firewood into my woodshed. I swear im going to knock the whole thing over if I don't change how Im doing something. What do you guys do...

    Replacement Floor Mats for 1920?

    Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to get or make replacement floor mats? Listed price is almost $100 each, but that's moot because they don't seem available anyway. Thanks. Matt

    2000ish New Holland 1920 2150 hr- Runs perfects, always starts w/ gas a lowest setting - only issue is that I have no oil pressure on startup (confirmed by both light and test gauge) for approx 3-10 seconds depending on temp (colder = longer). Once pressure builds it runs good - I forget...

    Gravely Pro Deck Styles

    Thinking I'm in the market for a user 16g, 18g or 20g. I'm seeing two different deck styles: ones with four heavy duty casters and ones with two trailing anti-scalp wheels. Can anyone expand further on the differences between these?

    Have STX38. Why upgrade?

    I have a black deck STX38 that came with the house I bought. Other than the some minor issues this thing is seemingly unbreakable (you'd think I was trying to how I drive it). Thinking of upgrading, but I honestly can't figure out what it would get me. What am I missing? I have about 3 acres...
