It was the way I read post number 59. Obviously I took it the wrong way.

That tractor will not start with a tow. The tow position in the shift pattern is so that you don't damage the transmission while towing the tractor.

Believe me this is not going to be a problem.

I usually lift my implements up a bit so as to be able rotate them to line up the splines. My JD 660 rototiller was a pain to hook up. The spring on the collar was just too strong so I took it apart and installed a lighter spring. Now it's a lot easier to push the pto shaft onto the tractor...

Torque Kind 4x4 out of Montana had the best solution for the top main shaft. Unfortunately they discontinued manufacturing it. But they have a complete replacement transmission that they call the NV5000. www.torqueking.com for anyone that's interested. It's a way to keep those old manual...

I also have a 4410. I have no fluid in my tires and I've never felt the need to have fluid. I have 600 lbs of cast iron that I use less than 5 times a year. Edited to add that there is a chance that you can find just the rims on the internet and have your original centers welded into them. I've...

I never picked up on that but you are right. I honestly don't know why people even bother with calcium. To the OP. You might as well look for different rims.

Use a 10.00 or 13.00 x 20 tube. It'll stretch easy enough.

I would either buy a bearing splitter as already mentioned or cut a slot in a 1/2" or thicker piece of suitable flat iron and pull with your puller on that. Cut the slot just wide enough to slip over the shaft and under the steering wheel. That will let you exert considerably more force on the...

I do some custom mowing. The best deck cleaner was a ditch that had been burnt in the fall. The willows were all about 3 to 4 feet high and dried right out. When the mower went over them it cut the dead branches all to pieces and after the mowing job the deck was clean. Almost like sandblasting...

Tell me about it. The neighbor phones and says "Can you help my wife get the tractor started?" It was -30 and had sat in the wind for a few hours. Everything had to be bled and the battery's weren't the greatest. Two diesel trucks boosting and a tarp to keep the wind off of the engine. Her and I...

I've done this several times. Measure carefully and cut a hole in the bottom of the box. I used a zip cut blade on an angle grinder. Just cut deep enough to cut through the metal on the box. You don't want to cut into the tank. Save the piece you cut out and replace it by adding some flat metal...

You made my point exactly. Thank you.

I was referring to post #150. It's pretty hard to see something that isn't there.
