Massey Ferguson 451: Back story: I had ran out of fuel in the woods and upon refueling, I ran the battery dead attempting to start the engine. I got my Shumacher 1000 amp jump starter to kick her off and drove back home. I charged the battery overnight, all seemed fine until my next attempt to...

Bought used a couple years ago, my Porter Cable 24gal air compressor decides to quit working. I know little about air compressors but can fix most things if I am told what I need and what to do. Power is good, but makes only a humming sound when powered on. I have confirmed it is not an...

On my Massey 451, the fuel gauge and water temp gauge are not operating. When I crank the tractor they both move only slightly from the far left position, like a hair or about 1/16". Not much. Doesn't appear to be a fuse, all my fuses look fine. Ideas?

I bought a used Greenline EM5000 auger. I need to remove the attached PTO shaft (the tractor end quick attach is bad, needs replacing) and I cannot remove the the PTO shaft from the auger head's gear drive. The PTO shaft on the implement end is a female smooth end 1-1/4, fitting on to the...

On my 6' bushhog rotary cutter, I must have raised the cutter to high with the 3pt lift slightly bending the PTO shaft... it just won't slide off like it should. I assume this because I can't get the tractor end of the PTO shaft removed from the PTO spline (has the quick disconnect push pin)...

Last fall, we put off several of the "bombs" in the hunting cabin, and then three more in the attic entrance. First time, we found thousands of wasps on the dead on the floor. Next time, alot less, still some though. I can't easily get UP into the attic to the actual nests. We've had a pretty...

Last week at the farm, I found this dead pigeon under the barn and was about to toss it off in the woods when I noticed the bands on the legs. Turns out the green band indicates the year it was born and banded (2013) as well as the Pigeon Racing Club from which it was flown (Menasha, Wisconsin)...

Some of you may have been following some of my projects, one of which was to sell off all the equipment in these poultry houses, and have them taken down to the clay pads. Well, it's underway. I didn't have metal trusses in these three 40'x500' houses, so I'm not getting the best $$s from the...

When I recently bought the property adjoining my current farm, along with it came three huge 40x500 poultry houses, and a 90kw John Deere/MagnaPlus generator, circa 1999. I've sold off all of the poultry equipment, feeders, waterers, pumps, lines, etc., and the generators was one thing...

Here's the background: Bought this property recently with an existing poultry farm on it (three 40x500 broiler houses, one 1350 sq ft farm house (my great aunt's built in the 1920s and moved to this location abt 1999) and one 70'x72' steel truss barn, used as the dry stack for the poultry...

Hey all... currently doing a lite renovation on a 1920's farm house. Currently only bringing it up to snuff for myself, son and friends as a hunting cabin. It appears to be well insulated, has a hard siding on the outside added before I got to it and seems to hold heat pretty well. There is no...

What's the advice on keeping a barn cat on a property where I am NOT there but every 7-14 days... needed for the obvious reasons, to keep away mice, snakes, varmits, etc. Is it reasonable to expect I could keep a cat that way, fed with some automatic feeder, water, etc? If an automatic feeder...

I need to know what this power steering cable connection to the power steering cylinder is called? My cable broke off right at the cylinder. I need to purchase that small "nipple" connection to the cylinder. Circled in yellow below. AGCO part number or other? Thanks, much!!

Just dropping by to introduce myself. I own a Massey Ferguson 231, inherited from my father along with the farm/acreage I grew up on in South Alabama. I enjoy taking care of the place, enjoy my time on the tractor, or course! And I hate those days when mechanics get in the way of bush hogging...
