Another 2" of new snow last night, but now the sun is out for a while. Yes Gene, we am very blessed to live where we do, here in Big Sky Country. As far as winters go many years ago it seemed to last forever, but now we just go with the flow of Mother Nature. And we really enjoy the summer...

Plowed snow yesterday, 8" of new snow in the last 4 days. Driveway culverts for the creek are still 98% plugged with ice. Driveway is still 100% snow/ice still, and temperature usually is 16F/38F, but where the sun does shine just over the ridges and thru the trees I can see Mother Earth. The...

Welcome to TBN, we use to live in Darby over a baker's dozen years ago. It was a nice small MT town, but too hot for us in the summer (can't take the blast from the sun anymore). We also use to have a great steak at "Lost Horse Creek Lodge" but don't know if it's still open for business? KC

It's a "Timber Tuff TMW-54 Mini Log Grapple", that I added 7 sets of additional teeth that help grab smaller diameter logs (it's grabbing strength is from the weight of the log). Here's a picture of my system to cut up a load of logs from a logging truck. And here's a link to TSC: KC...

I finally switched the Dozer Blade out for the Snowblower yesterday before clearing the driveway. The blade does good but it just takes much longer to clear the driveway snowfall since the piles are getting taller. Since Thursday we had over 3' snowfall and it's -6 degrees F under the covered...

This may give you an idea, I just finished building new UHMW skid shoes for my MF Dozer Blade and MF Snowblower (each 4" x 10" UHMW skid shoe is the same) to replace the OEM shoes. My driveway is gravel and I am very pleased with the results having only tried out the Dozer Blade with the new...

Yesterday I finally replace the 2 hydraulic hoses for the front quick hitch that had a surface rub hole in the original hoses. Today I should of switched out the MF Dozer Blade for the MF Snowblower, but thinking it's the 1st week in February, I did not do the change out. Plowed 12" + snowfall...

This is what I built about 11 years ago and use the brush forks (1/8" thick x 2" x 1" rectangular tube) and the hinged plywood platform almost all summer long (unless I just need to use the bucket). The metal brush forks bolt into the sides of the bucket with 3 (on each side) 1/4" - 20 grade 8...

Nice collection, but a few of your blades looks like they could use some Captain Morgan to clean/shine up the blades. My Puma Bowie Knife cost me $18 in 1968 (about 2 days wages). And I'm guilty of abusing a lot of my knives in my younger years like the Puma (use to think it was a throwing...

I only entered a few numbers and values and hit "calculate" to come up with 86.595 pounds of water at 40F as shown below on the 2 attachments. KC

Last spring I noticed the hydraulic hoses for the front quick hitch were rubbed a little bit and I started this winter using these hoses. About 2 weeks ago I noticed these 2 hoses had a little shine and wet look to them, so on the 7th, I order a couple of hoses from "Discount Hydraulic Hose"...

I have many USA tools and here's one given to me about 40 years ago from a co-worker that retired. I am now guilty of non-USA tools lately, especially at the big box China freight store (HF). KC

Thanks, originally I was going to make the UHMW skid shoes for the Snowblower similar to ones I've seen that attach to the far left/right sides of the Snowblower. Only after making the UHMW skid shoes for the Dozer Blade, the light bulb turned on and I jumped down that rabbit hole. This is...

My previous posts for this UHMW MF2360 Snowblower skid shoe modification project are #759 & #787. This picture below was from a couple of days ago, and yesterday I finished welding on the blank 1/4" plate that is pre bolted on the right side of the snowblower. In order to paint the left side...

Older post for reference: (for this project update see post #791)

My previous postings for the new UHMW MF 2340 Dozer Blade skid shoe project are #671, #672, #675, #678, #681, #701, & #705. And now I'm beginning the new UHMW MF 2360 Snowblower skid shoe project. Upon thinking about this awhile, I'm decided to duplicate the Dozer Blade skid shoe size, 4" x...

irvingj, I think I used 10-24 machine screws with nylock nuts and fender washer (just thru bolting with materials I had on hand) and in the 90 degree corners on the outside is just a light gauge aluminum angle to thru bolt the risers (again I just used the parts and pieces I had on hand). If...

OK, I'm finally FINISHED with my new UHMW skid shoes for the Dozer Blade ! Today I installed the skid shoes onto the Dozer Blade and adjusted the height with the existing spacers to the height I was plowing with the OEM existing skid shoes. There was about 3"-4" of snow on the driveway, so I...

Pixguy, it looks like the snow storm was keeping you busy ! I installed a 14" or 16" (?) aluminum diamond plate (material I had) riser on top of my snowblower about 4 years ago because the snowfall was higher then the top of the snowblower. It has worked out great and I have now more snow...

Just about finished with my new UHMW skid shoe project, here's an update. I welded the new skid shoe assembly together, painted it, and attached the UHMW to the bottom of the shoes. Today or tomorrow I'll install them on the Dozer Blade and try them "new shoes" out this weekend with our snow...

Good job MoMower, I'll bet your customers are happy. Are you only back grading with your FEL bucket and not using a box blade also ? I finally got my square tubing sleeves welded to the dozer blade existing shoe brackets, and also painted. I wanted to get the bracket completed so tomorrow I...

I have operated my tractor with chains on all four tires every winter since I have had the MF as new, in 2009. My driveway has been ice/snow since the start of November this year (normal) and stays iced up all winter long until the 1st or 2nd week in April. Even with the front chains I...

Gene, here's a look at my progress with the UHMW skid shoes for the MF 2340 Dozer Blade (previous post #671 & #672). I cut all of my pieces yesterday and plan on welding/assembly the parts today. Pictures of the parts: KC (for this project update see post #681)

Update on my Dozer Blade UHMW skid shoes: Well it warmed up to 20F today so working in the garage I believed I have figured out how I'm going to fabricate my new skid shoes using materials I have in my small metal rack. By removing the 2 outer nuts for the scraper blade, the existing shoe...

I just received my UHMW - 3/4" x 4" x 48", ordered 2 lengths at (Amazon) $31.60 each with about $11.00 shipping. I have been thinking about using this product for quite a while, for my skid shoes on my MF 2340 Dozer Blade & MF 2360 Snowblower (driveway is gravel & roadmix material). I believe...

What I use is the Timber Tuff TMW-54 Log Grapple - 22" (A.K.A. poor mans grapple), but lately I just rotate these jaws 90 degrees, back up to the log, pick it up off of the ground then cut the log into 18" long rounds A simple HF chain with the link style hooks on both ends will work fine as...

If your MF Dealer did not give you the operator's manuals for the quick hitch & snowblower, you should get them from your dealer so you have them for future reference. I scanned 2 pictures from my MF Parts Book for the quick hitch (page 8 & 9) & 1 picture from my MF operator's manual for the...

Here's an update: I swapped out my tires/wheels to my studded snow tires/wheels today. The vehicle skate tire dolly that I purchased worked great because I did not have to lift the tire to install it on the studs. My only complaint is I should of purchased this 10 years ago. Here's a couple...

Your welcome, the 16th and 17th they called for 6"-12" snow with an arctic blast and we received 18" of snow with the morning of the 17th chilled to a -17F. My neighbors Cam-Am plowed their driveway and said the new set up with 2 pulleys and a spring used for visual tightness reference worked...

Last spring when I removed my Quick Hitch and Dozer Blade from the front of my tractor, I noticed a wear spot in the hydraulic hose (Blue connection) from the Quick Hitch. This wear concerns me and I'm going to have both hoses remade at a hydraulic supply shop. The wear area comes from the...

Hey ArylA, Here's a few pictures of my neighbors Cam-Am bumper repair (the 2 parallel round tubes were leaning about 30 degrees from vertical) that I did a few weeks ago and the fix #4 now with a double pulley system and spring. All they have to do is connect the bottom traveling pulley to...

Yesterday I received my Vehicle Skate Dolly and I checked it out today, so glad I did the research and purchased one. The real good news is the round pipe that the tire rest on does rotate and that makes a lot of sense because it takes less friction while jacking the tire up if you were to use...

I'm sure there are many of you that change out your summer vehicle tires with a complete set of winter studded tires in the fall, and again repeat this in the spring. I have always performed this task myself, but lately I have been struggling to install the tire back on the vehicle (lining up...

Here's my "poor man's grapple" for cutting up firewood logs, and my brush forks with a hinged plywood platform. It seems that I get the most use from the brush forks. KC

Dmacleo, welcome to TBN and congrats on your tractor. Here are the 3 pages of "Specifications" from my 2009 MF GC2410 Owners Manual that may help you. KC

And you need a place to stay... KC

I have a Frontier Box Blade (BB2048L, weight is 275#) and the problem I've always had when using it to spread road mix for the driveway is: On my MF GC2410 the Cat. I, 3 point hitch, only floats when the box blade is lowered all the way and does not provide for any down force for spreading of...

Sorry, I forgot to get the pins size for my CB05 Backhoe bucket to you. The pins are 1" diameter x 7.125" long. Below are copies from my CB05 Backhoe Parts Catalog: KC

Just received my MF "Parts Catalogs" for my tractor implements. F.Y.I., Below is a copy of each cover page of the 5 parts catalogs I purchased from AGCO, and the publication numbers: KC DL100 LOADER #651873M3; CBO5 BACKHOE #651874M5; QUICK HITCH #4263571M2; 2360 SNOWBLOWER...

Last week I just ordered paper copies of the "Parts Book" for the QH, 2360 SB, 2340 DB, DL100 FEL, and CB05 BH from AGCO Technical Publications. They have Electronic copies a little cheaper and you can also just view them on the AGCO Parts Book website (search for: DL100, CB05, 2340, 2350)...

The HF receiver hitch is thru bolted to the bucket with four 1/2" bolts, and when I added the 2 pieces of 3/8" flat bar to reinforce the top of the bucket I just welded the edge of the flat bar to the bottom (front) of the receiver hitch. The complete assembly can be removed from the bucket if...

Thanks, also I do have a 4' box blade installed in the pic, hard to see with the door of the cab opened and the green grass because the box blade is "John Deere Green". Last year I also add some extra weight to the box blade with a 1/4" plate platform/ATV storage box/chain saw holder which...

A few of Zeke's favorite things to do: Riding shotgun to town while on the look out for deer, Playing with his Frisbee and donut Frisbee, And playing with a ATV tire, walking around like a drum majorette while wearing the tire around his neck, and of course he loves to...

The last few days I finally got around to realigning the ends of my brush forks, and reinforcement of the top of the FEL bucket. My brush forks were needing a tune up as it was difficult to pick up a pile of tree branches, 1 of the 5 forks was about 2" higher at the end of the forks, and 2 of...

Good afternoon, Thanks to all for the welcome to Gm!!!! 28F at 0530hrs, 38F now and windy, high today about 42F and cloudy, 30% chance rain. Moving a little slow after Walmart trip yesterday, but did notice not much traffic for mostly start to summer on the highway. Snow is all gone except...

Good morning everyone, 8am, 30F now, and snowing with the ground turning white, high about 48F today. Let the dog outside and he was very happy to see it snowing this morning. Mrs. plans for us to go to Walmart today, 101 miles one way, for curbside delivery of our groceries. KC

Gene, Mossroad has shown you a lot of options for your receiver hitch. I have a few "tow rings" (have 1 with each of my vehicles + the tractor) and if you do a search you can find one that has the extra mounting holes to rotate it 90 degrees. As for the 2" trailer ball for the receiver, once...

I do not have a SSQA, but I built a tooth bar, and a set of brush forks to attach inside of my bucket. I can add my jib attachment to either one, and have used it to set the wife's greenhouse framed walls from the garage floor to the greenhouse. KC

Thanks DMW, did not know about how Diesels operated with coolant. Danny, here are the MF manual page 52 for specifications & capacities; and page 58 step by step for coolant system R&R. KC And here is a link to Napa and the 50/50 anti freeze I use, many more brands out there...

ray is correct, my tractor manual says "MF Permatran lll" for the front axle recommended lubricant on page 53. This is what I have chosen to use since my first change out of fluids in my MF tractors front axle, my MF snowblower, and my Woods brush hog is Amsoil's Synthetic 80W-90 Gear Lube...

Hi Danny, I cannot help you with any fluid information about your 54" mid mower because I only have a brush hog for my mowing. The MF 2360 Snowblower takes AGMA 5EP extreme pressure oil, SAE 80W90 gear oil or equivalent, which you will find at the bottom of page 21, at the bottom of this post...

I hope you get the idea how I built my brush forks from these pictures, I'm embarrassed to show mine next to what chim built... I think I used 1" x 3" x 1/8" rectangular tubing, 1.5" x 1.5" x 1/8" angle iron, and 3" x 1/8" flat bar for the brush forks and the tooth bar, and the angle iron...

That's going to be a great set of "brush Forks" when you are finished. I built my brush forks about 9 years ago and during the summer they are installed on the FEL bucket most of the time. I also installed a 3/4" hinged plywood deck on top of the forks with a wood framed type of headache bar...

Here's your information, you were very close, it's 70 ft. lbs. And here is the 2 pages of the MF manual regarding torquing information: KC

ahswain, I assume that your seat safety switch was working properly, turning off the engine with the key still on before you developed this problem of the tractor not shutting down by turning the key off? Just a thought, have you traced the wires for the fuel shut off relay and the fuel shut...

Hi exo, Listed at the bottom is Page 18 of my 2009 MF Backhoe CB05: This should answer all of the questions you have asked as they have a picture with the 3 hoses identified. The hose #3, which is a direct return to the transmission sump and the location is just below the hydraulic...

Here are a few pages for your reference use, from my 2009 MF Owners Manual for the GC2400 / GC2410 / GC2600 / GC2610: KC

Here's my 2.0 version of the "SawHaul". This is how I usually run around the property in the summertime while cleaning up the winter's messes. The extra weight on top of the box blade has really helped out spreading road mix on the driveway. Also, I can pack a really big lunch in the black...

Hope everyone is well and ok... Today, I took a swing at "springtime coming soon", and removed the tire chains from the tractor. It seems we have some spring snow coming tonight through Thursday with lows around 10 degrees F. Oh well, these spring snowstorms usually do not dump a lot of snow...

Hey, hope everyone is adapting to our temporary and challenging new lifestyle throughout the USA. We have been at home for a week now, feeling fine and doing jigsaw puzzles, cleaning, etc... Today, we have to drive an hour and a half (one way) to pickup some needed groceries at the nearest...

I am thinking you might be right... KC The charting below starts at 100 cases and is measured in days. Top line is Italy, Then Iran, S. Korea, US, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong; each dot is 1 day; top line is 10,000 cases, then 5,000, 2,000, 500, 200, and 100 cases And here's...

I am glad some of you can use your tractors for spring cleanup and other jobs. For me, yesterday I drove all of my snowblowing areas with the blower not being used but just for using my rear studded tire chains to scarf up the ice so it's not as slick. It seems spring is not here yet as we...

All I know is what I have learned over the years and am still learning about tractor hydraulics. The main flow of these valve assemblies is: Hydraulic flow into the valve connects to the "P" port, and hydraulic flow out of the valve connects to the "PB" port, and the hydraulic so called over...

F.Y.I. here are 2 pics. First pic is the MF OEM fuel line with a pin hole leak, and the second pic is of the replacement fuel line. Also my wife does not like the smell of my new cologne, "Red dyed Off Road #1 Winter Blend Diesel". KC

Yes that would make for great access to also remove the floor panel, but I have a Simms hard sided cab and I did not want to remove the cab in order to remove the floor panel. What I did was remove the plastic cowling screen under the dash and also the small horizontal screen near the fuel pump...

Today I cut about 1.5" off of the fuel line and reconnected it, size maybe metric but looks like 1/4" diameter will work. The pin hole leak looks like it came from a crack along the hose (another crack is 180 degrees around to the other side). First pic is of the identification markings along...

I know this Ghost Thread is about 3 years old, but I'm bringing it back to life, as I believe I have the exact same pin hole fuel leak as Pixguy had. I was searching thru my repair manual thinking I would replace all of the rubber fuel lines since my tractor is over 10 years old with 660 hours...

+ 1 You can add a reinforcement flat bar on the inside of the bucket and thru bolt your accessories, or you can also just leave it like O.E.M. equipment... KC

Thanks for the kind words, but the modification does not have an alarm clock nor a coffee maker, yet... Another option is, when "JAWS" and the receiver extension is removed, the receiver can be unpinned and lowered to a normal horizontal position. I tend to find myself somewhat in between Rube...

Last summer I added 1/4" plates to the top of my Frontier 48" Box Blade. I have been thinking about adding a few accessories to the BB for a while: 1st, wanted to add a receiver hitch; 2nd, needed more weight on top of BB for leveling out road mix; 3rd, needed somewhere to carry my chains...

Oh man I'm too old for all of that figuring, glad you could do it. With the Box Blade, sometimes the rear would feel light, but not anymore, because I installed a 1/4" plate platform on top of the box blade with an ATV storage box. Also when spreading road mix I now have no trouble quickly...

This is what I use for ballast; my home made weight box, approx.. 600 pounds, or my Frontier 48" Box Blade (BB2048L), 275 pounds. My 2009 MF DL100 Manual, has the same information as your manual, but it also has additional specific information on page 26 shown below: It states a minimum...

Yesterday with over 18" of new wet snow on the ground, I finally got to try out my UHMW lined snowblower discharger chute modification. I did not have any problems with the chute clogging up and noticed that there was hardly any snow build up inside of the chute. However, I had to trim some...

I'll have to take a few pictures (front and back), the picture in your post shows Zeke just in front of the covered front deck and further back (centered) is the wife's greenhouse. Only pics I have now are below that show the garage with an attached covered breezeway and the rightside of the...

Last winter is when Zeke injured his ACL, and the vet wanted to perform surgery on both limbs for a correction and to prevent further injury. Zeke is the kind of GSD that is either at complete idle, or it's full speed ahead, and there's no in between speed. I told the vet, unless it's...

2 days ago, my GSD hurt his rear leg again (similar to human's ACL) that has a lot of scar tissue. Yesterday he was hating life inside the house and not running around. Glad to report, today he is not limping around and barely favors his right rear leg while walking. Going to let him...

My GSD, My next door neighbors dogs? Also they can't keep their cat in their own yard! And a unnamed wolf in NW Montana.

We received 6" of new snow last night, and this morning it's way above normal at 26 degrees F and it's RAINNING, oh rats, I hate freezing rain because the trees get loaded down and begin bending at the tops. We have a similar condition 2 winters ago, and because I lost about 50 large Fir/Spruce...

Sorry it took so long to reply, but I had to go take some pictures to post here. You might be thinking of this already, but if it were me I'd try the chain first before turning down your pulley drum. Taking these pictures jogged my memory a little, the first jib extension I built for this...

4,400' elevation, just about 12 miles west of the Continental Divide...

Yes much easier to connect/disconnect the 2 electric switch controls to the snowblower. My flat four connector is inside of the cab just below the 2 switches which are mounted on a 3/16" thick piece of UHMW that I had laying around, and located it between the hand throttle and the joy stick...

Finally finished reinstalling (1/8" thick UHMW lining on the inside) the snowblower chute, it's been a long project. Also removed all of the old 12v wiring from the 2 electric switches inside the cab and rewired them (I am a fan using the 4 wire trailer connectors for easy disconnection). Were...

Yesterday, snow plowing (for the 3rd time) winter is having a hard time starting this year. Has been warmer then normal (now 14 deg F), which is good, and the snow has been heavier with more water content. Today I will finish my 1/8" thick UHMW snowblower chute lining project by reainstalling...

Almost done with my MF 2360 snowblower modification project using 1/8" thick UHMW to line the 3 fan blades, the transition discharge area and the chute. Finished installing the UHMW on the small transition area in between the fan/fan blades and the discharge chute (used 1/8" diameter stainless...

Oh man, you do have many snow removal tools in your tool box. I thought about lining the MF 2340 Dozer Blade, but I have not used it much in 11 years, it still has most of the MF paint job on it, which is pretty slick still, and I just spray it with 2 heavy flood coats of "Super SLICK SLICK...

It's just me that any project takes 4 to 10 times longer to do. UHMW, like irvingj said is easy to work with, I just cut it with tin snips (left and right handed aviation snips) and the radius slotted hole I drilled a hole at both ends and used a jigsaw then a file. I heated my UHMW with an...

My UHMW MF 2360 Snowblower chute lining project is progressing slowly, but I know it will be done before I usually switch the MF 2340 Dozer Blade out for the Snowblower for the winter. Today I am going to try to finish the chute lining, and then it's out to the unheated garage to work on lining...

Here are the last half of the pages you requested for the CB05 Back Hoe. KC

Here are half the pages you requested for the CB05 Back Hoe. KC

Here are the pages for the MF DL100 Loader, I think I can scan pages you requested for the CB05 tomorrow unless someone else takes care of it sooner. KC

I don't know if this will help, but maybe you can compare with your MF 2360 manual. Pic is of page 15 of my manual. Sorry no tractor pics, I have electric chute controls. KC

I have been thinking for many years about getting better performance from my MF2360 Snowblowers discharge chute, and I have finally started this little project. I purchased a sheet of UHMW for $48, 1/8" x 24" x 48". Removed the discharge chute and have begun making patterns from 1/8"...

Hey, since we mostly stick around here and post, I thought I would start a new thread (like others have done for different color tractors) for us to post about what we have done with our GC Tractors TODAY, or what we have done to our GC Tractors TODAY! Or maybe it's just a weather report at...

I just bolted on the top of the bucket a HF 2" receiver hitch, 35 lb. Step Bumper Receiver , and picking up 18' logs this summer with my poor man's grapple, aka JAWS, I did not notice any problems regarding any bucket deflection (with an 18" extension piece that adds a lot more force on the...

And once you have your "outside generator plug" (male end) wired up to your "generator transfer switch panel", then you may want to add a "meter box" to balance each 110 volt leg of the generator to insure one 110 volt leg does not have the majority of the (Wattage) load used while the other 110...

You possibly could have the loaded pallet (loaded upper pallet slightly offset towards the tractor overhanding slightly from the empty pallet) sitting on top of an empty pallet, and then insert your forks all the way into the upper pallet with the load, and then raise your forks up to contact...

Thank you Jim. It's a "Sims Cab Depot" cab, model is a "Indy Cab", It has two soft removable panels below the front windshield on both sides, and a soft removable clear panel at the rear (hard fixed panel would be in the way for using the backhoe). I really like it and in the summer I have...

I see you have other changes you'd like to make, so if you want to just keep the MF and address them you may look into a Sim's Indy Cab with a heater, and a MF 2360 Snowblower, and either a quick attach front bucket system or add some forks to your existing bucket. Here's a pic of what I use...

I have been thinking for years about mounting my chainsaw somewhere on the tractor, and this summer I finally mounted my chainsaw on the tractor. I added a platform to the Box Blade w/ 1/4" plate (which serves as weight using using the Box Blade), added my poor mans grapple for skidding logs...

Imold, these are the only 2 pics of side views of the Box Blade additions that I have because I have removed and replaced with my weight box and front Dozer Blade for the start of winter. 26 degrees F this morning, Blizzard on the way... KC

This summer I added some weight to the Box Blade with a ATV storage box for chainsaw accessories, etc..., and a lower shelf (look for the blue hooks to the right & left of the chainsaw lower end) to carry my logging chains, and also my poor mans grapple (JAWS) for picking up logs and skidding...

Hi LukyNumbrkevin, It sounds like you have a plan that will work for your needs. The only problem I see is your BX tractor only has a single hydro piston in the middle of your bucket, if I remember correctly, and the only thing I would do is to make sure the weight in your Carry-all is close to...

This year I purchased a logging truck load of logs and intended to use the Backhoe with the thumb attached for cutting the logs into 18" rounds. After much thinking because I know that this log cutting system would be a long/slow one for about 140 logs (from past experience), I purchased a...

I get about 140 inches of annual snowfall each year and some years 240 inches as shown in the picture, this is a walking path around our house for the wife in the winter, her greenhouse is to the right. I have added some 0.125 thick aluminum diamond plate (free) about 18 inches high to the MF...

Sorry, searched my MF Service Manual, and my MF Parts Catalog, and the online MF Parts lookup website, and I could not find the information you are looking for. I would try calling your MF Dealer Parts/Service and maybe they would be able to provide you with the type of threads for the...

I figured you knew about the seat pocket location for the tractors manuals, but I was just trying to cover all the bases for these missing manuals by asking. Here's the Table of Contents page for my MF Model "DL100" Loader Operator Instruction Book. Hope this helps you out. KC

Here's the Table of Contents from my MF Operator Manual/CB05. It is a personal judgment call to consider at what price for these manuals versus the value for reference material. Here's a dumb question from me, these manuals are stored in a pocket on the backside of the backrest of my tractor...

MisterMike650 here's a couple of pics from the owners manuals regarding maintenance MF suggests for the Quick Hitch and the Dozer Blade. irvingj sorry to confuse the issue regarding the Quick Hitch assembly for the snowblower, but that pic in post #5 above was the best one for showing the Quick...

Welcome to TBN MisterMike650 and congrats on your new tractor. I have attached a photo from my MF Quick Hitch and SubFrame Owners Manual that shows how it attaches to the tractor. I have attached an additional photo from my MF 2340 Dozer Blade Owners Manual showing placement of the "trip...

I was ordering some filters online for my MF 2009 GC2410 TLB and to my surprise Napa Auto now has a hydraulic filter listed for my tractor. :D Napa Gold Hydraulic Filter # FIL 400361. They list the applications as follows: AGCO TRACTOR ST22A 2005 - 2007 MASSEY...

Hi GC owners, We have just had a cold snap for about a week plus a few days: minus 11 to minus 28 degrees F, and highs of minus 2 to minus 15 degrees F, :mur:. My problem is having my tractor stored in an unheated but insulated garage with a wood burning stove, :eek:. I have always used the...

Hey Irvingj, congrads so late............................................... only about a year late!!! :confused: I just ran across this yesterday and I know a lot of others are not aware of your award, :thumbsup:. You are deserving of this award because you always help others with your great...

I was given a few 2ft to 5ft pieces of W8 x 15 wide flange beams and I want to cut them in half to end up with tee shapes. I will then weld these tee shapes together to end up with about 24ft of straight rail. I will install the rail in my shed garage just below the trusses, which will give me...

Hi fellow MF owners, I did some researching and decided to load my tires with "Rim Guard". I think it is a sugar beet product. I took all 4 tires off the tractor and dropped them off at the Rim Guard dealer and they loaded them in about a hour. They did not require tubes to be installed. If...

I just purchased an "Easy Rider Steering Wheel Knob Spinner and installed it at the 6 o'clock position on the steering wheel when the front tires are pointed straight. Today after finishing snowblowing, I discovered the knob to be at the 2 o'clock position when the tires are straight...
