When I bought it 12 years ago, it was the first one I had seen.

TMK, You're welcome! If I get another crank one, I will do both.

It seems like it froze, as all the flat sides are rounded and expanded. Only freeze we had that was bad was the freeze 3 years ago when Texas was without power for about 7 days. The top crank has a wide shoulder, so it is hard to believe water freezing did it. But it looks that way.

I located a new coupler, but my old one's square sides have expanded a little and wedged into the upper tube. The welder that fixed my telehandler is gonna come out and weld it so I can take it to a trailer shop. I will know when the welder gets here if he can unwedge the lower tube. Trouble...

Thanks. That is the plan. Are the screw threads easy to start in the new bottom?

I found a 14-15 inch crack today on my gooseneck coupler. The scary part is the crack is all rusted. No telling how long it has been cracked. The trailer and coupler was new in 2012. Should I weld it up or replace it. I am leaning on replacing, as it is a Bull dog coupler. Can I remove the...

That is impressive. I bet them are starting to swag a little, that high up. Glad I have a telehandler and not scaffolding

Is it a drum or belt sander? Hard to tell with it wrapped up.

Search numerous different combinations,....like Italy 3ph auger post hole digger. Be creative. Can you contact the party you bought it from? If all this fails, you will have to take the seal out and try to find a match with other brand of augers. It will be a time consuming search in...

I would do an online search for that name and number

Is it a sander or planer? Either way, I'm jealous. My planes is only 20 inches.

Only ag plane I ever worked on was a Piper Pawnee Brave with a P&W PT6 behind the prop.

That will keep him saucy!

He is a strong worker. When he quits, he will be gone soon. Enjoy him every minute you can. I can not stress that enough

How old was Molly? My tractor dog/pal for 15 years, Booger, had to be put down. I laid on the vet's floor to look him in the eyes to say goodbye. It really tugs at your heart strings, feeling like they will break, grieving over a friend that is gone. Rest assured she is in no pain now. GOD...

I am at the bottom of a hill with a gully running through my place. The yellow thing (above the truck's tailgate) on the far side of the water is my CAT excavator. White water, at the right, is going over my pond's spillway.

We got 20.75

Sweet dog! How much rain did Y'all get?

I would buy another Mahindra. But really I bought the dealer too. Get acquainted with your service and parts guys. Even the mechanics. My dealer is J5 Tractor and there 5 or 6 branches in the area. I've only taken it to the dealer twice. Once for a head gasket that I didn't have time to do...

I find this conflicting, as farmers always try dual tires and tracks to prevent compaction, yet folks roll weights on their lawns. Or are you just grading and packing the gravel? Totally confused!

Talk about a framed picture!

I'm praying for you in this time of grief and for you having a good trip and safe return home.

Awesome! Keep'em comin'.

It probably blew apart when the pressure went too high, instead of opening like it suppose to. Sometimes my pressure cutoff switch doesn't cut off the compressor. A couple of times I have came into the barn to hear the relief valve blowing and the compressor running. I try to make a habit...

I have no idea. Buy a manual or call your dealer.

It is very hard to fix condensation drips, but time was on my side.

Rain gauge was full, so we got more than 6 inches. Tractor in the barn for subframe installation after clutch R&R. Floor under tractor soaking wet, along with the whole tractor dripping condensation. Went out last night and condensation was dripping from a light switch. Today is much better...

My bigger pond is going over the spillway now. I know my rain gauge is overflowing also. It just holds 5 inches.

Just an FYI...this thread is over 10 years old. The original poster may not even be on this forum anymore.

Aft of the battery box is the neutral safety switch. What did you do that mixed it 10 years ago?

Two threads for the same problem? Seems like you have had this problem before. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/7520-beeping-randomly.296597/

What video? I don't see a video.

I have a 2007 Mahindra 6520. I always thought the only differences between the 7520 and the 6520 is a turbo, bigger tires, more hyd. pump gpm and a two speed 500/1000 rpm PTO. That being said, I leave my IPTO lever engaged and the PTO lever OFF. If these two levers are out of sequence, the...

Telling us what tractor would help greatly.

I don't ever remember seeing a red fire ant mound.

We are wet again. I can't go outside to check the rain gauge because I had foot surgery two weeks ago. Merry Christmas

When we would go quail hunting in the snow on Grandpa's farm, we would put dirt in back of the pickup. That is a lot of manual labor for a 11 year old, but warms you up quick.

...........and most welcome to chase the humidity away. TG day reminded me more like January hog hunting weather. 40 degrees and drizzling. Winter comes only in spruts, so we look forward to weather forecasts with a cold front coming.

I was surprised also.

Happy Thanksgiving. I was in Colmesneil today for turkey dinner. That is East Texas if you have to look. They had drizzling rain today. They just got their burn ban lifted this week. Colmesneil Texas 75938

All my doctors have heard of it and was taking it when I got it. Yes, you get a plastic card with your id number and phone numbers. I have had some xrays and a diagnostic mammogram and had no problems, before getting medicare. They paid right fast. They request up to 3 years doctor records on...

Medishare (medishare.com) does not work that way. When I retired 8 years early, I needed to cover my insurance for 3 years, until Medicare. I went with Medishare and paid $199 a month for basically major medical. I had to pay a $99 a month surcharge for taking blood pressure medicine, so I...

Thanks for the clarification. I look forward to more cinematography.

Put your forks on the loader and jam the forks straight down into the ground to have more access. I have done this also with a wooden fork pallet with a 2x6 added on the pallets center and just put the forks down, kinda overcentered into the 2x6 for changing the water pump and hoses. I leave...

Does that dam have a core trench inside it? Looks like you are piling clay over grass to build it.

Texas..........bigger or in this case, heavier. I got a huge chunk of Centerville iron ore that holds my loader forks upright when off the loader.

The chickens didn't look?:unsure: hugs, Brandi

Thanks Kyle. So he is alive and left this thread. Sadness Prevails, Brandi

Post 226 confirms the obit I found was his son's. Sadness prevails. I don't know if I should try to contact Terrry's wife or not. hugs, Brandi

How old is that, Kyle? Starting reading the thread. Terry refers to his wife as Precious Bride. hugs, Brandi

I got to run now, but found Terry and Lavonne's son's obit. after searching Bedias, Texas obits. https://thefacts.com/obituaries/benjamin-samuel-dinerman/article_eb317686-4ded-11e0-87ef-001cc4c03286.html hugs, Brandi

Since I live just a county East of Grimes, I did a property search in Grimes County and found no Terry Dinerman owning land. I did a search for Dinerman and found a Betty Lavonne owning property in Bedias, which is northern Grimes County. I don't have time right now to reread the thread for...

Been raining lite and heavy non stop. Both ponds are overflowing. hugs, Brandi

It is what Bird uses opened bottle caps for. The pond has came up 6 more inches since I posted #8477above. hugs, Brandi

No, It was a cheap Mueller Metal freebie and broke sometime in the 54 days of 100 degree weather here. When I went to Lowes, I couldn't find any, so I ordered on Amazon. hugs, Brandi

Rained off and on all day yesterday and last night. Thunderstorm dumped a downpour around 8 this morning. More heavy rain expected this afternoon. Pond is about 1.5 feet from full. Was down a month ago about 5 feet. Oh yeah, new rain gauge ordered. Old one broke. Lowes didn't have any...

Mr. Bo, It seems to me water will plash off the ground onto bare wood in this photo. Or is that eve trim treated? hugs, Brandi

Sweet. Glad I could help. hugs, Brandi

Thus why they are called the Lost Pines of Texas. hugs, Brandi

My dog can see his farts. If a clown farts does it smell funny? hugs, Brandi

We got enough rain to make the grass grow again. But the pond is still down 2 feet. hugs, Brandi

She would probably say you left it in there.:cautious: hugs, Brandi

We got rain this morning also. Numerous times in the past, we watch on radar how the stroms go around us too. At least Montgomery County lifted our burn ban. I had two big roaring fires last week. hugs, Brandi

We got it two afternoons in a row and last night. hugs, Brandi

Dave, Wouldn't a larger hose slow the jerkiness down some? I know it would slow the speed of motion down. hugs, Brandi

My start circuit on my 6520 has a relay and a fuse. Relay went out once. hugs, Brandi

44 more rain drops about an hour ago. hugs, Brandi

We got 14 drops around 9am. hugs, Brandi

You need to purchase a rain gauge like Bird has. A bottle top. hugs, Brandi

Brownsboro is around 2.5 hours due north of me. But I will keep an eye out for a smart looking Farmall. Keep an eye out on all online auctions in the area. hugs, Brandi

Weigh the trailer before or after you weigh the ex on the trailer. Then subtract to get ex weight. Then you don't have to unload and load the ex at the scales. hugs, Brandi

My Mitsubishi MS 070 excavator (rebadged to Caterpillar E70) only uses BSPP fittings with NO orings. hugs, Brandi

I do believe a Kubota KX040-4 is an excavator. hugs, Brandi

So it doesn't use the tractor's rear remotes. The levers for the remotes are on the tractor to the right of the Tractor seat. These levers or lever operates the rear remotes. So the backhoe has never worked, even new from the dealer? Wow, sounds like Power Beyond is not working on the...

Do you have a backhoe installation manual? That would explain how to do it. hugs, Brandi

Understand 4 points for the backhoe. That is what I have. It is called a sub frame. I mentioned a 3PH, because you mentioned the Gannon working. Please describe the Gannon and how it was working? Where do you hook up the hydraulic hoses that go to the backhoe? What are the 3 hoses, you...

3 point hitch. What you attach things on back of your tractor with that move up and down. Rear remote.........Hydraulic fittings on back of your tractor that hydraulic attachments connect to. If you have rear remotes connected to the backhoe, is the remote lever in neutral or up or down? Mine...

BSPP is British Standard Pipe Parallel. BSPT is British Standard Pipe Taper It looks to me to be SAE O-ring Boss to JIC. Just take the fitting, in question, to your local hydraulic shop. They will be able to match it up. hugs, Brandi

Are you using a rear remote? Is the Gannon on the 3PH and using the same remote? hugs, Brandi

I welded up a permanent bumper that bolts on and the sprayer mount just hooks on. It's a 26 gallon sprayer that makes the rear end light on the Hustler. The sprayer has inserts on the bottom of the tank and stays mounted on it's mount. hugs, Brandi

Well that sucks. hugs, Brandi

Oh.............okay. Swap the belt on the follow wheel to the drive wheel and the drive wheel belt to the follow wheel. I do that every so often. Like rotating your tires. You will find that keeping spare belts around is a must if sawing for $$$. That may help, but the kinked belt should be...

Change blades and see if that helps. What mill do you have? Does the blade have the correct tension? I don't understand what this follow belt does or location in relation to the mill. Pictures would be a big help. hugs, Brandi

I got a lots of droplets. Enough to have water still clinging to fallen leaves when I went out to feed the fish. Really just enough to lower the fire hazard. 60 acres burnt yesterday, around the corner from me. They say a welder caused the fire. hugs, Brandi

Oh boy. Maybe you will be better if you take it to a small engine repair shop. Having a key means it has an electric starter. Electronic ignition means it does NOT have points and condenser to make a spark, but an electronic module to fire the spark. hugs, Brandi

Mr. Bo, Please send some of that thunderstorm east to Texas. hugs, Brandi

111 degrees in the shade now. Two days ago, I had to start watering a giant White Oak tree near my driveway to the barn. The top of the tree looks like fall colors, with leaves turning orange(ish) brown. An elm and a sweet gum are turning colors at the top also, but I don't care about them...

Does it rumble in both 2 and 4 wheel drive? Could be a bad drive joint. Raise that wheel and wiggle it hard. Could be a bad bearing. hugs, brandi

Still sounds like a small pin hole in the diaphram that expands when the engine is hot. Try the electric fuel pump. Then again, the Briggs could have a worn keyway on the flywheel. I haven't messed with twin B&S engines in years. Is this engine electronic ignition? hugs, Brandi

107 degrees in the shade on my back deck. Eye drying HOT. hugs, Brandi

Yeppers! When her car broke down, in the Black Hills, well that brought us way closer. hugs, Brandi

My Uncle called them Shredders. He had an old, old version behind his old Farmall. hugs, Brandi

You sure got it awesome looking. Down here my pond is down over 4 feet. hugs, Brandi

I buy LPS 1 in gallon cans. I put it in my Sure Shoot and then pressurize it with air. Way cheaper than spray cans. I have used Mouses Milk, but prefer Marvel Mystery Oil for pneumatic tools. Boelube (made by Boeing) for drilling. Silicone spray for door locks. I soak froze parts in diesel...

How is the 6065 doing? hugs, Brandi

The Black Hills are a cooler version of the Texas Hill Country on steroids. hugs, Brandi

My daughter talked me into going to the Black Hills to escape the heat. I have been wanting to go for years. So we took 8 days at the end of July and headed for 79 degree days. One day it got up to 87. Numerous times I was asked.....Sure is hot, isn't it? I would say Nope. They would look...

To many big Blue cats. I had liver on my shopping list just to catch some for the freezer. But a day late and a dollar short. The bigger the fish, the more the oxygen they consume. I think, pound for pound, Blue cats consume more o2 than Channel cats. But pound size bass died were I know I...

Lack of O2. I had added a timer to the aerator and gave the aerator too much time off to cool down the aerator because during a 102 degree day, it shut off. Now I know it kicks back on after it cools down. I still got Channel cats left, but think all the over three pound Blue and Channel cats...

We got just enough to dampen the dust on the driveway. hugs, Brandi

Buried some (maybe 15-16) Blue and Channel Catfish today. Also about 7 one pound Bass. How did those get in there that big? Also a handful of Bluegill. The Blue's were around 5 pounds each. The Channel Cats were at the most, 3 pounds. I am not gonna stock any Blues anymore. I think all my...

My counterweight on my CAT E70 is a 1/4 inch steel box filled with concrete, with a steel lid welded on. hugs, Brandi

Jeremy, Been wondering the last few days. How is Lake Corona doing and how is the firework display business going? hugs, Brandi

Happy 4th of July Y'all. Sunday and Monday we got a touch of rain. Just enough to give the grass a taste of water. hugs, Brandi

Oops, so sorry! https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/hydraulic-auger-mount.229883/page-5 Detailing my installation starts on page 5, post 44. hugs, Brandi

Yeah, Xfaxman should get royalties from Bobcat! hugs, Brandi

OB, I wouldn't do that. He was the smart one in the air conditioning. hugs, Brandi

Check my installation out here. Adding Hydraulic Quick Connectors to Front It starts on page 5 in post #44. hugs, Brandi

.........and I wanted to get to my stopping point so I could go to the dentist. So the heat and the dentist made me run over my saw.😭 hugs, Brandi

Speaking of whiskey, how is your John Deere 110 doing? Still like it?(y)(n) hugs, Brandi

I'm gonna blame it on the heat and leave it at that.:rolleyes: hugs, Brandi

Just used. hugs, Brandi

No, it is a 462 now. But for about $200 more there is a 500 with fuel injection! But I'll get the 462. hugs, Brandi

..............and the White Oak is gone! hugs, Brandi

Ouch is right. At least no one was hurt in the crunching of this saw. hugs, Brandi

Thanks. She was a 461. hugs, Brandi

It is totaled. Crankcase is cracked. Only things worth saving are the bar, chain, and recoil starter. hugs, Brandi

I had a dead White Oak tree. It was huge and a widow maker, so I had the tree topped, as it was leaning 180 degrees from where I wanted it to fall after digging it up. I didn't want a huge limb landing on me as I dug. I got up at daylight this morning to dig in the shade. Got the tree...

That is awful. If you can swing it, go with the bigger tractor. hugs, Brandi

Exactly what I was going to say. A little push at a time is all it takes. hugs, Brandi

Awesome as usual, Eddie! hugs, Brandi

We will never know. He had only posted twice. Both in this thread. hugs, Brandi

It didn't happen without PHOTOS! hugs, Brandi

I made a pin puller for the Lull's two slave cylinder 4 pins. The cylinders need to be rebuilt. I could have repacked them myself, but I suspect something funny going on inside them and I want the experts to look at them. I got 3 of the pins out Sunday. But one pin didn't want to leave it's...

Big Iron auctions have been auctioning lots of Mahindras and parts. I almost bought a lot of 4 seats. hugs, Brandi

How about a photo tour of the inside? hugs, Brandi

When my Ford 700 dumptruck needed new shock snubbers under the seats, I just took an old basketball and deflated it enough to put under the seat then partially reinflated it. Worked so well, I did that to the passenger seat also. hugs, Brandi

ERC mantel anyone? hugs, Brandi

But the deflection tolerance is within margins.:cool: hugs, Brandi

I think you need to stick to ironwork. Your troll drawing looks like it has moose antlers. hugs, Brandi

I'm gonna go out in the cementary and say those pictured in #755 and #756 are not barns. hugs, Brandi

I wouldn't want public roads that close to my barn, much less my house. hugs, Brandi

How come barns up north are built so close to a public road? I've seen Barnwood Builders taking down barns that are so close to the road, they have to stop traffic to remove debris. hugs, Brandi

Probably going into a water trough. hugs, Brandi

What are the little "bumps" on the tin near the lower edge? They are on the barn in post #706 also. hugs, Brandi

Check for a starter relay near the fuse panel. My 6520 starter wiring circuit also has a 5 and a 15 amp fuse in it. The 15 amp fuse went bad on me once. hugs, Brandi

I can only see one drawing with the fulcrum on the rear tires. Thanks for explaining there are two drawings! Bottom line the further from the fulcrum, the less weight it needed. It is all about CG, center of gravity. Couple of times in the past, when picking up complete trees, I felt my butt...

The OP was asking about counterweight on the rear for loads in the loader bucket. Your drawing shows the fulcrum on the rear axle. I was nicely trying to tell you your fulcrum is on the wrong axle for this discussion. I do know a thing about weight and balance. It was required in my work as...

The mix will have to be real wet for a chute. You may have to push it down the chute otherwise. hugs, Brandi

Bu Build a wooden chute out of 2x6 sides and maybe a 2x10 for a bottom. Hire a guy with an excavator or telehandler and a concrete bucket. hugs, Brandi

Oh yeah Kyle. Thanks! hugs, Brandi

I am not a chicken raising fan. Brady is the chicken farmer. But I guess since I raise catfish and rabbits.............................. hugs, Brandi

I was gonna say a wire connector had been popped off by stray brush. It happens to my 6520's neutral safety switch every other time I mow. hugs, Brandi

Yep, one thing I made sure of was enough propane for a weeks running time when I had mine installed. That equals to a 1000 gallon tank. It has powered the house 3 times since installation. It is really a good feeling until you think about refilling 1000 gallons of propane with winter rates...

If your drawing is correct, please tell me why my butt gets lite and my front tires go flat when I try to lift a too heavy load with the loader. The fulcrum would be on the front axle with a loader. hugs, Brandi

I am gonna guess about half the weight of what your loader is rated to lift. My loader is rated for 3900 pounds. My backhoe weighs around 1800 pounds and my 8 foot land plane with a 900 pound Red Oak cant on it weighs around 1700 pounds. Even these on occasion are still not enough to keep the...

Brady only lets the chickens in the garden under his supervision. hugs, Brandi

That might just work real well. I tried this unloading some gravel. About half of it came out and had to help gravity with the hoe on the other half. hugs, Brandi

It would be great if Y'all could restore it. hugs, Brandi

That photo shows a few things salvage people will pay you for to resell. Pump, wood stove, and Table are just 3. How many more items in that house can be salvaged before log people want to get the logs? hugs, Brandi

Yep, knew it from studying the siding and trim. Additions always came later, as the family grew. hugs, Brandi

These photos make me wonder if a log house is under that siding. Absolutely stunning. hugs, Brandi

I got the trusses up and the purlins on ready for tin. I didn't work on the coop Monday, as I was down in the clay pit showing the owner what logs of his were White Oak. He is gonna bring them over for me to saw into more trailer decking along with some large Red Oak logs for me. I asked about...

While studying for my CDL, I learned a lot of things I didn't know that now makes me a safer driver. I never said I was safer than you with 30 years of pulling equipment. I asked in post #378 who is safer...me hauling my own stuff or you hauling my stuff and me paying you. I don't care who...

Yeah the rules changed since I got my CDL. There was no class then. So it was moot to me and Eddie since he isn't getting it. But where in the TBN rules does it state I have to read the whole thread before committing and getting egg on my face? Brandi

Aczlan in post #366 already told me the CDL requirements have changed. You just echoing Aczlan in a vague, undescribed way? Brandi

That right there sucks. Just last year that was enacted! hugs, Brandi

You should have read my post above yours before telling me I should read the whole thread. If you had, you would have seen I replied to Eddie's change of direction. As to changing the rules....who is safer...me hauling my own stuff or you hauling my stuff and me paying you. Your getting paid...

Eddie, Those trailers would work. If you are only hauling round bales and tractors, lowboy trailers work. Triple axles scrub on tight turns. Also make sure more than one axle has brakes on it. Now I read you are just gonna hire it out. That works too. But waiting on a truck can get...

I didn't read this whole thread. Internet is acting up today. Eddie, Get a one ton dually (mine is a 2003 Cummins with no DEF fluid) and a 10 ton gooseneck. Then go down and take you commerical test (I did that for liability and grey areas and nosy officiers) and then get farm tags for...

The last two, cold, wet days I modified some steel shelves of Brady's. They had plastic adjustable bushings that were flaky and would fall out of the shelf was bumped, so I cut 1 inch galvanized conduit for weldable bushings. I took my time and cut deburred the galvanized bushings. I had the...

I forgot about sawing the Texas toothpick. I had to drag the log with the Mahindra backing up. Each turn, I disconnected from the chain and turned 90 degrees, then connected back up. I could only get one end up a couple of inches before my butt was airborne. The sawmill loader arms counldn't...

On the 23rd, I got the top sill boards up. While it rained a week ago, I made the trusses in the barn. I got 3 trusses up before it got cold and wet. hugs, Brandi

I read your post and looked up at what thread I was in and I thought...........oh no, I am in the Kubota forum. My KMW ML275 loader has a 2.5 in diameter tube that is 1/4" wall. The hydraulics won't twist that tube. I tried to do that to fix it when my grapple snagged an unseen stump and...

The video guy stated he will weld on reinforcements. Otherwise you will have to keep "repairing it like Roustabout stated on the first page of this thread............I've fixed that three times a day on occasion hugs, Brandi

If this is true and you have worn linkages and/or bushings, moving the curl or dump without the attachment on could cause the linkages to bind and could throw the "hands" out of alignment. Maybe that is what is happening to all these wood block or tree fixes. Edit.................if you have...

From the OP..........One of my employees says she noticed the front bucket wasn't hanging right - no idea how much work had been done with the bucket hanging on the left side of the SSQA only. It bent the plate downwards. I can still muscle attachments on but it is no longer anything resembling...

I meant to say more permanent compared to pushing it into a tree. hugs, Brandi

For any permanent fix, you will have to cut the cross tube and reweld it with the locking plates flat on a level surface, like a welding table. hugs, Brandi

When you say the reservoir is full, do you mean the power steering reservoir under the hood? Could be the steering cylinder is bypassing internally. The 6520 and 7520 have the power steering pump connected directly behind the hyd. pump. Might be a coupling there, that is inop. Are the PTO and...
