    Allis Chalmers AC5050 PTO lever will not engage after PTO pump tether broke.

    I was spraying today. I finished about the 4th row, turned right to turn around and hit the next row, and the 3pt pto pump tether popped off as I was turning and hit a rut that jarred the tractor back and forth (obviously needed a little more slack in the tether). I pulled the lever up to...

    Cultivator type for my application. I don't know the name of it.

    I'm looking to use a cultivator with sweeps on it to clear southern pea walkways of weeds for the first part of the growing cycle until a canopy starts developing. I've searched the internet a few days looking at cultivators, and some cultivators are called chisel plows, or field cultivators...

    FORD 555 (B?) Loader/Backhoe drive issues.. Takes a long time to get moving. What is causing this?

    Ford 555B Loader Backhoe takes a long time to get moving. If anyone has answers that'd be cool. If the tractor is cold, even when put into forward, and with the rpms raised (or not, doesn't matter).. doesn't move. I've watched my father sit on this thing for 10 or 15 mins waiting on it to...

    Tractor setting areas on fire?

    I ran into someone I know at Walmart recently and he told me that they were roto-tilling an area next to a fenceline a week ago, and when he made one of the passes right next to a property line - when he got to the end of the row to turn around, noticed the neighbors property was smoking badly...

    Ford 6600 Ball joint stuck in place

    The 6600 we got had about half a turn of play in the steering wheel. All the ball joints were sloppy from the connection at the Pittman all the way to the tie rods. The ball joints are wallered out. In the process of removing the tie rods, one of the ball joints is stuck in the center piece both...

I just don't know what its called, its part of the power steering and its at the bottom (front tractor) of the hydraulic piston, the steering arm coming from the Pittman arm connects to it.

    AC5050 will only start with ether, please advise- we need this thing to run.

    Allis Chalmers 5050. Been having issues getting it started (its the summer, in Georgia), it started off as an intermittent problem only SOMETIMES having to use ether to start. Then having to use ether to get it started more and more often. Then that progressively transitioned into having to keep...

    Ford 555B Boom and Stick hydraulics won't work simultaneously. Is this normal?

    We just got a Ford 555B TLB about a week ago. This is our first backhoe. If I use more than one hydraulic control at a time, they don't work together. For example, if I try to lift the boom and crowd the stick at the same time, only the stick crowds, when the stick has reached its stop (or you...

    BushHog spewed oil out of the valve on top of the gearbox

    This is our first bushhog.. we oiled it per the manual, and installed it. One of the blades didn't "unstick" when we got it so we figured we would just run it to get it unstuck. Well, that broke the shear pin because it did not come loose when we hooked it up as we thought it would. After...

    Heavy Grinding on stick. Unable to go in and out of gear.

    First let me say that nothing has changed since we bought the tractor. It hasn't even been taken off the trailer we loaded it on when we bought it. This weekend we checked all the fluids (added none, everything was fine), greased all the zirks, checked dirt cup, air filter, other filters, etc...
