    Stuck B&W gooseneck ball

    Is it supposed to come out by driving it downward ? That would also be a safety feature to prevent unintended dismounting.

    Hmmm…tubes? Or new tires?

    I bought tubes for my 1435 tires (your size) on Amazon and they were the more expensive ones, but they are twice as thick as the first go-around. Two suggestions come to mind: Inspect the wheels for weld flash that may puncture the tube because the wheel was originally designated as tubeless...

    Tractor wont start hot

    Is that a Shibaura motor or similar ? Those I'm familiar with (In Ford & NH machines) need glow plugs even for a hot start.

    Three point diaphragm pump

    I have one for irrigation. You prime it and get out of the way. Knocked me off my feet when the prime hit !

    I have a 29hp 4 wheel drive tractor for our 20 acres and front tires are always flat

    Tubes with 'flaps'. These are like wide rubberbands that go between the tube and the tire inner-liner. They will absorb/deflect most thorn tread punctures. Just another level of protection.

    Trailer: dually to heavy singles, on 10k/12k axles...stability etc?

    Dualled tires are always better for handling stability because: instead of 1 tire pushed nearly to it's peak for lateral capability needs, you have 2 tires faced with the same challenge but running at about 1/2 their vertical load. But, trailer makers play a game with this because they can use...

    Small farm hay project?!

    Here's a friend starting out for the first time doing what you are asking about. 28 hp and a 7' NH haybine purchased at a junk auction. She painted it up and put new decals on it. 240 bales worth here. Tractor doesn't complain one bit. I forgot to tell her that you need at least 150 hp to...

    Towable boom lift

    I have a JLG T-350 battery powered towable lift. It certainly changes the way you work by giving you safe access to heights. I use mine for installing & servicing my collection of old farm windmills. Tree trimming, even to repair flags stuck up on a 30' pole. Painted the barn, etc. Mine...

    Small farm hay project?!

    Where in Michigan ? I'm in Brighton. Stop buy and I will give you the low down. It's more than just an animal feed supply task because it has tax, kid education & learnings, plus self-satisfaction points and a chance to buy some great & useful tools. I just went thru the same 'edumication'...

    Need a head for a Ford 1210

    That's a Shibaura motor ? I know of one sitting on a floor in a garage because she decided to part it out.

    F3990 vs newer F3710 4wd front deck mowers

    Friend of mine has a Toro Zero turn 72" for sale here in Michigan. Same as the Exmark version. She went with Exmark diesel version so tractors and mower all run the same fuel. No need for gas anymore. All cleaned up, greased & oiled ready to fly. $6000.
