My father in law put some asphalt in a section of the parking lot of their small business. I do most of the snow removal with our big tractor (5115M) but do to my shift work, sometimes I'm not around when the snow is blowing in. I wanted to give him something that is a little more forgiving...

The Manitoba Agricultural Museum in Austin, Manitoba is hosting the 62nd Annual Thresherman's Reunion from July 28-July 31, 2016. The theme this year is an attempt to break the World Record of over 125 threshing machines operating simultaneously in the same field at the same time for the largest...

I always wanted a dump rake, to use around the yard and for the vintage look, finally picked one up at an auction. Cleaned it up a little and there was still quite a bit of original paint under the baked on grease. I replaced some wood, a new drawbar out of some oak, and a seat pan I had...

The exhaust blowing out the bottom on the left side drove me nuts with the soot on the frame etc and it still seemed to be able to blow up in my so I could smell it. I put this vertical exhaust extension together. The top elbow is just slip on so it comes off for close to tree work or can be...

I have always found a flexible hose to be more convenient for greasing the greatest variety of equipment and situations. I have a couple nipples that are a pain in the butt. One is the u-joint at the back of the motor on my FIL's JD 1025R. It is through a small hole in the frame and then up...

I have found a guy that is getting rid of some 1/2 plate from a couple projects he didn't get around to. I was initially looking at 2- 1/2x30x96 mild steel for a welding bench top and left overs for gusseting etc, when he showed me a large chunk of 1/2"x96x96 T100 plate they didn't get to. He...

I was looking at our 1025R with an H120 Loader this winter, thinking I should make some pallet forks for the few times we would need them. We already have pallet forks for our JD 5115M for the big stuff. As I was trying to see if I could make them universal to fit on the JD quick attach and...

Hi guys I built a log splitter to run on the back of our tractor this past winter. I used a log splitter valve with kick off, I think this was the one, I can't find numbers any more Directional Control Valve with Kick-Off | Princess Auto When I built it and tested it, worked perfect...

It was raining this morning, cutting into other plans, so I started on the hydraulics to the front of our loader. We have a JD 2015 5115M with the 310 loader and global quick attach. I plan on running a grapple and a hydraulic auger at the front so ran lines from the rear to get the flow I...

I think I've read almost every post on third function set ups and uses. I would say that I am finally starting to grasp some of the info. I would like to put a hyd auger on the bucket of our tractor. I have 2 questions first I think is obvious, but to confirm if I set up a 3rd function on my...

I'm having a terrible time with the JD website. Trying to find some info about mower decks. Considering a 1025r tlb. I think they offer 2 decks, are they both drive over? I just want a little info in hand before we go talk to the salesman. Is this backhoe on a subframe? All it says is you...

Once I get hydraulics to the front on the loader (still undecided if going to use 3rd function or from the rear scv's) I would like to make a hydraulic option for quickly switching between bucket and forks. I would like to design it so that I can still manually pull the bar if I need to or am...

Woke up this morning to the power flickering at about 06:00. It struggled for about 10mins and then quit. It was wet heavy snow with a strong wind, turns out many transformer fires and probably some down lines. By 8:00 it was apparent it wasn't going to come back on. Our family business...

This is my "spreader", some people found it ironic. I left it intact so I can turn on the sprockets at the back to demo to my city friends how the manure used to be spread. Had to take it right down to frame and rebuild it with new wood. 2x12 on top of the side rails for benches. Being...

Today had a learning experience. We have had heavy winds with lots of drifting snow for the past 24hrs. A chev malibu got stuck in the middle of the road near my FIL's place down the road from us. They dug for approx 45mins with no luck (-34) After he couldn't find a suitable attachment point...
