I have a well in my barn that I wanted to use for irrigation and the animals. What kind of equipment would I need to get it going. It definitely has water in it as I dropped a bucket on a string in it and pulled some up. There is some old equipment at the top of the well but when I plugged it...

So I am working on my garden and pretty much hilled the larger portion of it and planted everything in hills. Now I am wondering if that is the wisest thing, since hilling might reduce the amount of moisture available for seeds that need to germinate. For example, should I have done corn in...

What is best size auger, 9 or 12\", for farm use What is the best and most all around useful size auger to use on a farm, 9" or 12" for a PHD? I'll be setting a lot of different posts from cedar trees I cut down. Mostly fence sized although I'll probably be doing a building soon. I set some in...

I have seen various posts here and there about what people do with their tractors but I was curious as to how most folks are farming with their offset Farmalls (Farmall Cub, Super A, Farmall 100/130/140). Do most folks do one row farming (as I have seen folks do two rows with 140s using a middle...

Has anyone seen a PTO driven Air compressor? The only one I can find is on the internet and it seems to be an obsolete Northstar product no longer sold by Northern Tool. I thought it would be nice to use for field tire inflation and perhaps spray painting fences and especially for blowing out...

Couple of questions... 1. Does anyone of have closeup pictures of the colter set up on a 215 plow. Wengers.com has some good general photos but I need some close-ups so I can make sure I have everything in the correct place for both front and rear colters. 2. At the bottom of the plows, near the...

I was talking to a guy that said he had an over-running clutch attachment on his 140. How many folks out there believe this is a needed accessory. I looked at the archives here and in YT and the reviews are mixed. I have an old Bush-hog that I got with my tractor that works pretty well but...

Does anyone know if there is a parts or owners manual for an International 215 Trip Beam Plow. I checked with binder books and they don't have one. Thanks

I have the chance to buy a Fast Hitch Sickle Bar Mower for my Farmall 100 and I was wondering if anyone had some opinions about which was better, Fast Hitch rear mounted Sickle bar mowers or belly mounted sickle bar mowers? Comments from personal experiences with either welcomed. Thanks, Ramon

The Air Cleaner Oil Cup (at the bottom of the Air Cleaner Assembly) on my Farmall 100 is rusted out. Based on the parts manual, I have the United Specialties brand. Several questions 1. Can I just replace the Oil Cup or should I consider replacing the whole Air Cleaner body as well. 2. What is...

My Farmall 100 has a rough time getting in gear. When the clutch is fully depressed, I usually have to hold it for 10-15 seconds and keep trying to get it in gear. Usually, I end up still having to grind it a bit and force it into gear. Based on what I have read, it sounds like there is an easy...

So I took my Farmall 100 out for a but of heavy plowing today. I got toward the end of the work and my radiator starts steaming like a banshee. I checked the oil and it was fine and I am waiting for the radiator to stop steaming so I can check the radiator fluid level. Any ideas on what might...

Hi, Can anyone send me the correct locations for all the decals on a Farmall 100? I heard that Guy Fay's book has all the info but I would rather not spend $30 dollars just to look at a page or two. Thanks Ramon

So I have been soaking loads of old equipment in my Electrolysis tank (55 gallon plastic barrel sawed in half) and got to thinking, is it better to keep the same water day after day or should I be changing between pieces of cleaned equipment? Right now, when the water goes down, I just add more...

Hi, I was just wondering what was the most common type of farming with a Super A/Farmall 100-140 type tractor. I know that the Cole type planters were typically one row but I have seen two row versions on a tool bar. Which is the Super A/Farmall 100-140 best suited for and what...
