    Dearborn plow help

    I need some help from the plow experts. I bought a model 10158 2 bottom plow and I wanted to get some opinions on what needs replacing. I've already found that the coulter hub will need replacing since it was worn off inside at an angle. I don't know all the proper terms yet so I'll do my...

    Pro stump digging

    My neighbor dug out about 125 pine stumps that were left from the previous timber cut. As usual with big machines and work, I had to take some pictures. Here's a reference shot to my size 12. Thomas

    Stump pushing

    Just thought I'd show what I've been doing to get these out. The dozer is on the light to medium range (15,000 lbs 70 hp) but my soil is all sandy loam with some clay below. The first shot is one for reference. I wear a size 12 so this one is about 16" and is at least 2 years old.

    Lost my pants

    Most of you can relate to having the smell of diesel or other things on your clothes after being around the tractor all day. Since I'm not allowed to bring these clothes into the house, I figured the latest piece of exercise equipment (Gazelle) on the back porch would be a good hanging place...

    New dozer and land clearing

    Well I'm finally going to do things the right way. After trying to make my MF 135 do things it wasn't meant to do, my father and I went in and bought a Case 550G dozer. It's a 99 model, 2829 hours, new engine, and complete new undercarriage. The dealer had leased it out to someone that...

    MF 135 thinks it's a dozer

    MF 135 thinks it\'s a dozer Before I get to what I built I wanted to some pictures of why I built this. This first shot shows my little home away from home. I've got 28 acres that's 4 miles down a dirt road and about 15 from the nearest town. When I bought the first 10 I/we had a spot picked...

    MF 135 restoration pics

    First off, this isn't a restoration for a show tractor. After several years of borrowing my dad's Kubota L2350 to use on cleaning up my land I had to jump on this deal. This had belonged to a good friend's grandfather and only used to field mow at their weekend place. A 1974 MF 135 diesel...
