I made an upgrade to the Howse box blade that I recently bought. Seen a video of someone on YouTube who done the same thing. I copied what the man done. I installed 4 pieces of 1/16” stainless steel wire on the shank holder pins to keep from losing them if they fall out. I bought the wire spool...

Bret, the row discs I bought are not the same as your brother’s. Mine are made to build rows. I will post pics when I’m done with them. They will be worth much more than what I paid once I get the new axle shaft and new discs installed, but they won’t be for sale.

I’m a 41 year old red head and need to get some more pre cancerous lesions burned off my arms and hands. So far, I’ve had 1 Squamous Cell Carcinoma in SITU burned off my left forearm. When I get done making this post, I’m gonna schedule an appointment online with my dermatologist. I’ve been...

Too bad I don’t have $10,000 and the cost of shipping because that 231S would be mine I can guarantee you for sure.

You might have to have the power steering pump rebuilt and a new power steering filter installed inside the pump, need new rubber power steering hoses, and the hydraulic control valve on the steering shaft is probably leaking and needs a new one or needs to be rebuilt. You need to clean...

If this helps, where I’m located in Southeast Louisiana, a 6’ rotary cutter (bush hog) for a 38 hp Massey Ferguson 231 tractor is not enough horsepower because the Bahia grass is so thick and will choke the tractor down.

Happy Sunday morning to everyone! My YM2500 is still down and waiting on Fredricks to come pick it up again, but I’m slowly starting acquire attachments for it. I recently bought a solid, used grader box (box blade). It’s a 4’ Howse EB48. Got an excellent deal on it locally! It didn’t come...

***UPDATE 09-01-2025 Monday*** Mobiltech received the check from Fredricks. I picked the tractor up at Mobiltech at the beginning of last week and brought it home. I have to decide what I’m going to do. Either I have to bring the tractor to Fredricks and they’ll return it for free after...

***UPDATE Tuesday, 08-19-2025*** Rob Fredricks replied back to the email I sent Fredricks about the check for the repair bill on my YM2500. He stated that the check was printed last Wednesday, and was mailed out last Thursday. Was sent by regular US mail, so there’s no tracking number. It’s...

***UPDATE 08-15-2025 Friday*** I have decided to give Fredricks one more chance at making this right. Once again, they have offered to come pick it up. The check from Fredricks is supposed to be in the mail to Mobiltech, for the Throttle Shaft Replacement/Repair and the Cylinder Head Job...

Thanks Peter, I needed to read that. I’m just so frustrated and aggravated with this whole situation. Here it is in a nutshell: I purchased this “refurbished” tractor, from a reputable, trustworthy dealer of Vintage Yanmar Tractors in November of 2024. Was supposedly nothing wrong with it...

***UPDATE Thursday, 08-07-2025*** Myself, Stephen Fredricks, and my local mechanic Ray, have been emailing back and forth. Fredricks has offered once again to come pickup the tractor at their convenience, at their expense, and bring it to their shop for “repair” (once again). The mechanic(s)...

***UPDATE Wednesday 08-06-2025*** Not good news at all. I’m DONE. My mechanic got the cylinder head and new head gasket installed and it’s still leaking coolant, from the same spot. He said either the engine block will need machine work, or the tractor will need another engine! ((This would...
