    Older International 354

    maybe so. It helps when both parties are satisfied with a deal. 5 years ago, I would've taken the time to fix, as my abilities/health were in better shape.

    Older International 354

    After some research, prices for a running condition ranged from $1350 (thanks Hayfarmer) to $2500. Although the tractor was sunk about 4" of dirt, it rolled out of barn with ease. Clutch was frozen, but shifted in and out of gear ok. Rears are loaded, and rims are close to trash. Surprised all...

    Winter preparation.

Battery terminal broke just taking bolt off. Ordered a OEM battery which served us well, and was $48 compared to locals...

    Studs for paved hills for snow removal

    Welcome... Never heard of studs on tractor tires. What size tractor and tires do you have? There are a variety of tire chains to be had. What kind you get depends on snow/ice conditions and the topography of use. Ice pick chains for the toughest of winters...

    Advice on building a tractor shed?

    I wanted to keep tractor closer to driveway for snow clearing in winter. My neighbor gave me wood that was sawn on my property sawmill, new old stock, 40ish years ago. (was for a garage for his wife) While it will be a tight fit with ROPS down, it will fit. Still deciding on door style to keep...

    Another mouse rant...

    I'm a longtime mouser, so this is just an semi-rant. I found a mouse nest just in front of radiator screen, of my new tractor, yesterday while cleaning hay seed accumulated from brush hogging a field. Took me a minute to figure out some of the material it used to build. From a roll of...

    Ground hornets!

    I used to use gas, but as I got older, I became more mindful of my land. Now, it's soapy water. As effective as anything else. I will say, burning them was much more fun and satisfying...

    Heat Pump Mesh Cover, anyone with experience?

    2 feet from the house is a lot. I'm on my second home with heat pumps, and both, as well as every other one I've seen is less than a foot from house. First home, I built a roof like shown above. It worked well. Given there isn't much you can do about the distance away from house, I'd leave maybe...
