    Help converting tractor FEL to Quick Attach System

    Looks like I will be following this thread. I just bought a Titan rock grapple with SSQA attachment. My John Deere 6405 tractor has a screwy JD QA setup that no one makes implements for. I did find an adapter, but it cost way more than it is worth. So, I have bought the "center cut-out" SSQA...

    New in Texas, How to Move John Deere Tractor

    I listed a tractor move within Texas on Uship and got a number of quotes. I used one to move the JD 6405 from near Dallas to south Texas. Cost was about $800 two years ago. Likely more now with diesel at over $5/gal.

    Well used X 500 Impulse buy

    Injector pump timing

    Ok, so I have a Ford 7000 that I am about to change out the injector pump. The procedure for this tractor is to line up a timing mark on the flywheel with a small inspection port on the bell housing (with the #1 cyl at top dead center) and have the pump on the #1 cylinder when it is bolted on...

    John Deere 1520 weak hydraulics

    So I have just inherited a JD 1520 utility tractor. It has a bucket with pallet forks. The forks will not lift a table that I estimate weighs about 1000 lbs. I put a gauge on the hydraulic supply line to the bucket control valve and it shows 2000 psi at all times except while the bucket is...

    water in fuel

    I put this in "Welding" because I have water in the fuel of my Miller Bobcat 250EFI. I have not used it for a couple of months and now it will run for a few seconds then stumble and usually die. I have emptied the two inline filters and it may run for a few seconds and then die. I have...

    Gun safe question, are they really safe?

    I have a question for the collective wisdom here. Can a thief remove the digital lock from my safe and replace it with his own? If that is possible can he not just replace my lock from the outside of the door with his own and enter his combo and open my safe?

    I have two JD 4430's. One has a connection between the exhaust stack and the intake stack; the other one does not have that connection. What is it for? Would it do any harm to take it off and plug the holes?
