Hi everyone! Last winter I bought a used TN65S with 1200 hours. When I test drove it last winter it was 10 degrees out and it started real easy without much of any shaking or smoke. I believe it was the first time it was started in a month or more. They didn't deliver until April so that was...

Hi everyone! I just took delivery of my 1999 TN65S with 1160 hours, FEL and backhoe today. Of course I had to play around for a few hours and came up with some questions for the forum. My biggest question is why my auxillary hydro valve that powers the hoe would keep resetting to the center...

Hi all, I am looking into purchasing a David Brown 885 Diesel (early mid 70's). My biggest concern is why there would be only one quick connect port on the back. Any tractor I ever had used 2 ports (supply and return). I am hoping to use the 3 point for a wood splitter using the...

Hello everyone...I got a call from my friend this morning to come over and try to diagnose an electrical issue he was having with an outdoor sump pump. The issue was a burned up plug which I replaced no problem. I am not aware of why the plug would burn up but at the time it was plugged into...

Hi guys, Sorry if this topic is somewhat irrelevant to tractors/farmwork, but I do not wish to sign up for any more forums to ask one question. With that said here we go...I just finished my last project (pole building) and am now on to the next one at hand. I need to replace my oil...

hello again, I am currently in the final stages of building my 24x28 pole building. Very shortly the siding will be done and that will leave me with the interior to finish. My question is...my trusses are listed as 30-0-10...What do these numbers mean? I believe the first number is max...

Hello all, It is now time for me to do the concrete in my 24' x 28' pole building. I am looking for opinions on my plans and costs. The pour will be 4" thick 3500 psi mix. I have extra goat fencing that was removed for the building which I intend to use for reinforcement. I have a guy...

Hello all, this is a continuation of my previous pole barn questions thread. Two days ago I started setting trusses. My pole barn package came with little info regarding the proper bracing of these trusses. They are 24' spans set 24" on center. I have them lined up and temporarily...

I have been reading over forum posts regarding pole barn construction for many months now. However, I have a few questions that I was unable to find answers to. I just this morning took the first delivery of material for my new 24x28x8 pole barn. A couple concerns I have regarding the plans...
