We have MORE than enough timber, too. And contingency is a big factor if you follow current events. I think I would rather own tools than have pretty pieces of paper the way things are going. i mean, by the logic of “It’s cheaper in the store”, I shouldn’t have bothered buying a tractor, I...

I had watched that video about 8-9 times fedora being steered to this site 😂🤣👍

It is a P-AO-20 plow, which I found crosses to the MF 64/ MH64 2-disc plows. I will follow the link and see what it says —- THANK YOU!

About this time last year, I was minalizing my plans to build an outdoor kitchen pavilion. It would have needed about $1700 in lumber. a week before I was going to start, that number became $5G. And then climbed from there. MrsKilroyJC has decided we need to get some chickens. She spotted...

Yes, Double disc. I was just hoping that I could try to get the correct bearing and seals BEFORE taking everything apart and having parts laying about for an indeterminate period of time, and potentially unreadable part numbers to contend with...

I wonder why?

Graded in a second driveway out the back of our property, and fenced it in (over an acre) with remote-control power gates, installed a wood-fired sauna, and replaced the asphalt shingle roof with steel panel roofing

Still, it sucks to lose sources. . .

Just tried that link, domain is for sale. I guess another business has succumbed. . .

That sure seems to be the consensus - I guess I done good. I will have to let MrsKilroyJC know she done good finding the ad!

ok, the story: we had been looking for a woodlot for firewood for a couple years, never quite found what we wanted in the piricepoint, with the accessibility, terrain, and proximity. A couple months ago, this property pops up on Zillow. We had just sold our small business, so we didn’t need a...

Even at a penny a pound for iron, it is a fair amount of pennies!

UPDATE: Based upon the Serial Number, it is actually a 1962! So I guess I should be happy that it benefitted from a couple years of previous production, but I miss the high CDI factor that owning a first year model provides...

Just looking for independent verification.

Will look for it now - thank you!

Does anyone have any experience with them? Has anyone here tried to build one successfully?

Not worried about the ride —- we had a small business and I operated a Bobcat 610 for seven years. My chiropractor loved that thing 🤣😂🤣

Probably used it as a tug for maneuvering planes and munitions trailers around on deck.

I think I will keep the eagle —- but I definitely bookmarked that website! THANK YOU!!!!!

Of COURSE I have to get the tractor WITHOUT an hour meter. . . story of my life . . .

MrsKilroyJC shakes her head every time I look over at it... she is actually the one who found the 430 for sale on the local Farcebook classified page—- I think so that I would stop thinking about the dozer 😂🤔😂

I know, I know. . . But I have had a lot of things that allegedly “made sense” that some idiotsyncrasy* caused not to work... * yep. I said it.

But dig the awesome logo in there!

“Should” is such a pesky word. . .

Maybe someone died?

On the lot next to the one we just bought, which is littered with various abandoned vehicles, trash, and squatters, is a Case dozer. When we finally get to contact the owner, it may be something I would like to add to the collection. I am not going to trespass, so I cannot provide any more...

the worst part is that my tractor does not have an hour meter (!!!) so I will be ordering one from Northern Hydraulics for going forward, but it doesn’t help me with any idea of previous life and use...

Thank you, recursively 🤣

Thank you!

T hank you!

My wife and I got thrown out of the local Goodwill once. . .

Thank you! I have already gotten several good pieces of info—- hopefully I will be able to reciprocate at some point!

I still want one of those “air compressors” because you are forbidden from buying Listeroid engines here in The Land Of The Free. . .

Just wondering what the threshold is between “practical” and “necessary”, when SHTF

Thank you! I have dabbled with 6 v, helping a friend with a ‘46 Plymouth way back. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be this simple—- because things are rarely this simple whn I get involved in them! I am sure balance will be restored to the universe on some other project...

Got into a discussion with someone about growing things like Canola or Sunflowers and hot pressing to produce veggie oil, then converting that to biodiesel. wondering about the practicalities of that for the hobby farmer, since I do not see a wind-powered tractor in my immediate future. . .

Good Morning! Here in The Great Smoky Mountains, it is currently 59F and rain started about 1AM, should be done by 9AM, sun expected out by 11. one cuppa down, time for another! Then off to work...

Good morning. Our 1960 Case 430 diesel has two 6v batteries, apparently it is 6v running 12v starting. It lives out in a shed on a lot with no power. I would like to keep the batteries up, but am unsure how to go about it. I use the little 1.5 watt solar maintainers from Horrible Fright on...

Thank you!

Thank you !

Thank you!

Fascinating country you have there. Way back in the early 60’s before I was born, my parents considered emigrating there, but it never happened. They wanted to go to Coober Pedy. They stayed in New Jersey, another land fabled in song and story. . . (Gah!) now, we have moved out of urban...

My grandfather was a Gandy Dancer on theNew Haven Lin before WWII. SAID IT WAS SOME OF THE HARDEST WORK HE EVER DID IN HIS LIFE. He later was a foundryman.

Thank you! how are you guys doing down there these days? It looked a little crazy from here for a while...

1960 Case 430, manual is 65-66

I guess the same holds for Jet-A?

...after introducing myself elsewhere. There’s never time to do it right, but ALWAYS time to do it over. And over. Anyway, glad to be here, looking forward to learning a lot amd getting my hand dirty and knuckles bloody (well, not REALLY looking forward to it, just knowing that it will...

The manual has temperature- based recommendations for straight-weight oils. — SAE 30 for 80F+ — SAE 20 for 32F to 80F — SAE 10 for -20f to 32F — (I am staying in bed if I need the SAE 5...) What are you using for your tractors? The bulk of my use will hopefully all be above freezing... Thank you!

I have the above plow that I will try to pull out of the tree line this weekend. Because I like to be prepared, I am trying to find current part numbers for bearings and seals that will fit if I need them, but I am having a difficult time cross referencing the parts numbers from the 1955...

I sortakinda figured that. . . 😂👍

Thank you! The biggest attraction of the 8N for me (aside from the iconic piece of American history that it is) is that my mother’s neighbor is a big Model A and Model T collector (he drives a Phonebooth T regularly as a grocery-getter!) and I would have access to all sorts of engine parts. But...

Just went and filled three cans. I just love the feeling of purchasing thirty dollars worth of diesel. . . And spending $76 dollars for the privilege. . .

Thank you!

Will do, once I get to working! Thank you!

Hello! New member here, New tractor owner as of three days ago (I am the “new“ - the tractor is older than me), hopefully I will be able to find a lot of answers to questions with (SEARCH) instead of asking questions that have already been asked & answered multiple times... Last night, we went...
