I thought about that. Don't see many of those places anymore. I will need to dig a little.

Hello all. Have not posted in a while. Been struggling trying to find a starter for my tractor. Solenoid is clicking but no start at 30 degree or below. The OEM starter is $500 from tym. Will any starter that fits a d1503 diesel work? I have seen as low as $89.00 on ebay. They look...

I got in some rough stuff and sheared the bolt. Done this before a couple times. For the life of me I cannot find the hole when rotating. Either the shaft has moved or it is such a clean shear that I cannot see it. Any ideas? It appears it should have a snapring on the end of shaft . Does...

I have found myself welding alot lately. I have pushed my hh135 to the limits. I can stick weld but that machine is in my barn. I do not have the power in my garage to support that tank. So I have relied on my trusted 110 volt system. Don't get me wrong, I can do alot with this thing...

I am looking for the plastic spindle bushings that fit a GM-84 First Choice finish mower. I can find the ones I need for the 72" model but not the 84". Anyone know of a source? This is Italian built I think.

I was using my boxblade and notice a crack on the blade. Decided to back into the garage and close it up with a weld, still attached to tractor. Stupid me, I did not disconnect the battery on my tractor. May have been a fluke, but when I tryed to start my tractor I heard a small...

My t330 has been difficult in the pass few months shifting from 4wd to 2wd and vise versa. Today I cannot get it back in 4wd. Any Ideas? I hate to drag it in to the dealer. It is about 150 miles round trip. I am not even sure if I am covered under warranty. I have had it over 3 years.

I have a homemade 10k tandem that has troubled me for some time trying to safely distribute my load. The builder put the axles right in the middle of the trailer. Fine when I back my tractor into the trailer, otherwise I cannot get the tongue weight needed to safely tow down the road...

Has anybody buildt one one of these? I am considering it. Ubuilditplans.com I think in some cases it would be more versatile then a 3-point mount hoe.

My wife has been wanting an inground swimming pool for some time. I look at it as a way to get my backhoe attachment for my Tractor. Will a back hoe get this done? I was thinking about a 14x28 rectangle at 6ft in the deep end. Has anybody put their own pool in?

I just picked up 3 old honda lawn mowers. None of them run. All seemed to have carb issues. HR214, HRA214, and HR215. All for $75.00. All the parts are there, as well as bags and chutes. I heard they were great mowers, and they do not build them like they used to. Think I have...

I was towing my tractor over the weekend for the first time on my home-made trailer. All was good all the way down to my property. I kept it at 60 mph on the highway. On the way back it was raining. I was competing with the holiday traffic so I increased my speed to about 68 mph. I was...

Ok...we heard about the fords, now lets have some opinions on Dodges, with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation motors. I own one.

Found this weedeater at a garage sale saturday. It was like new for $25.00. She said it was hard to start. Got it home, pulled the spark plug, checked compression. 150 psi told me that was good. Spark seemed ok because it was trying to run when I tried to start. It sounded as it...

Be careful greasing your tractor. In the steering knuckles be careful not to balloon the boots to much. My boots on both sides blew out after greasing. I understand if you overfill and it sets out in heat it expands and blows out. Well I get the experience of changing as soon as I get...

Just put a remanufacture cummins longblock in my 99 dodge. Got hit with the defective 53 casting that has got so many people. Cracked 4 years ago. Did a lock n stich repair. Crack again. This time I decided to replace. Only had 145k on it. It was expensive but trying not to fret...

I built a trailer wire it carefully. When I hooked up the trailer brakes the controller appeared like it was happy. When I am moving and try to apply the brakes I get a OL on the controller. The brakes do not seem to work. I guess I will need to troubleshoot it over the weekend. It...

I am about to finish my trailer. I picked up some Chevy rally 6 lug wheels for cheap. I realized they were 10" rims after I dismounted the tires. Will 225 75 r15 tire fit this rim. Yes...they are 15". Will I get a good seal?

I need to hook up the brakes on a trailer I have been building. I left two wires for this purpose. I assume one is a ground and the other is hot. Is there a way to measure continuity so as not to get the wires confused? I know that it does not matter polarity wise but I need to ID the...

Hello all, Kinda bums me a bit. My tractor is only about 6 weeks old. I was trying to turn a trailer back on its upside with my bucket. I must have binded a tooth. This looks to be a cast metal. It is a clean break. I was wondering if I could just weld it with 6011 to get the...

I have been looking for a way to transport my new T330. With loader and filled tires I feel I need at least 10k for capacity. With implements we are talking about 5500lb plus. I ran into this trailer on Craigs. It is homemade, but appears built like a tank. I own a 2500 dodge truck...

I have owned my 330 now for 2 weeks. I have 33 hours on it already. This weekend I tapered 700ft of ditches in front of my home. I used a BB for most of it. Seemed to handle a 6ft box blade just fine. The excess dirt was relocated to various low lying areas of my property with the...

Need weigh ideas for a box blade. Anybody added extra weight. I am also interested in adding hydralic draft for my top link. Has anybody done that?

I think I have a bit over 12 hours now since last Saturday when I took delivery on my new tractor. I was reading the manual last night and notice they recommend the trans oil changed in 50 hours. I can see the the engine oil should be changed but question the trans. That is a lot of oil...

Tractor and loader - $15,500. Is this reasonable for Missouri? 5 year warranty sounds nice. Looks like a tough tractor. I know I should posted this on the tym forum, but not much action there. Is there a reason for that? I guess the Montana dealer and Mahindra dealers I talked to...

Has anybody used any liquid head-gasket repair? I am skeptical of the results but facing a $111.00 head gasket, and lots of hours of labor to repair my ford 1100. Bars makes a product, as well as, many others. Any testimonies out there you want to share.

I know overheating problems have been covered many times. I have searched and read several threads. My little ford will run about 20 minutes under load before it starts boiling over. I have flushed using zerex cleaner. I have tightened the belt that runs the fan and water pump. I have...

A co-worker of mine has a 2165 hydro w/ a 54" mowing deck. It has a bad starter. He says the motor needs to be pulled to replace. Not a big deal for me, but scares him. He says it is about 12 years old, with approx 500 hours. Wants $500. Is this a good price for an otherwise good...

I ran my ford 1100 out of fuel and now I am having a hard time getting the air out of the system. I know this has been covered over and over, but cannot seem to put the right words into the search engine. Can anybody help. Do I need to crack my injectors as someone cranks the engine...

I found a F935 diesel without a mowing deck. Looks great, runs great. He wants $1300.00 with no deck. I do not want to commit until I find a deck. Can anbody give me a clue at what I am looking at for price for a new one.

I have a chance to pick up a 98 with cab and snowblade for $600.00. Sounds cheap...right? It is a basket case. Used as a salt dispenser it needs a total restoration. Should I leave it alone? The body is rough, but feel the undercarriage is worth that. Any feedback would be...

My poor little Ford 1100 sat out all winter. I had a makeshift oil cap on my hydralic sump. Water leaked in and now I have foamy milky mess. I know I need to drain, but how can I be sure I get it all out? I just changed last summer, and the price of hydralic fluid is irritating. Live...

I was doing some rough cutting today. Real rough! When I realized the my rear hydralics only lifted an inch or so. I disconnected my side links and it seemed to work full length. I am thinking it just cannot lift the weight anymore. My fluid is a little low. When I pulled the dipstick I...

I have looked at Kiota, Mahindra, Farm Pro, and Montana. I have about $15000 to spend. I need at least a 25hp 4w with FEL. Warranty is important so I will probably stick with a company that provides a big one. I am leaning toward Mahindra, seems to be a solid choice. Anybody have some good...

Over the weekend I installed a pod of gauges which included an ampmeter. It was a no-brainer until I started looking at the various diagrams for automobile applications. Before I went into experimentational mode I thought I would ask if somebody could fill me in on the details. I believe I...

My little 1100 has an idiot lamp for temp problems. Never have been to fond of these. Many times it is to late by the time these activate. Does anybody know of a sender and gauge that would work on this tractor? Brian Missouri

I just purchased a home out in the country. They through in the Cub Cadet in the barn. They said it had some problems. It came with a lawn vacuum attachment, blade, and chains. I found that the electric PTO was not working. I found a broken wire. The only problem left is leaking oil...

Purchased a Ford 1100 a month ago. Was looking it over this weekend and noticed a wire had come off the pressure switch. I hooked it back up and it lit my indicator. I have put on about 10 hours on this tractor since I have had it. Runs good and no problems. Is it my pressure switch? It...

Just picked up a rm59. It is a bit rough but usable. Does anybody have one? Are these worth fixing up? The wheel shafts are totally wobbled out. Otherwise except for paint in very usable condition. A new belt was installed a couple of years ago. I have heard these will last a live time...
