Does anyone know the status of this company? I have dealt with them before as they are/were a Shaver Manufacturing distributor and Josh was super sharp on the post driver equipment and parts. Their website doesn't exist anymore and there is very little about them online, phone numbers I find...

Does anyone know of a good app for keeping vehicle and equipment records for an Android? Currently I use a post, board, cabinet door, shelf, or toolbox lid in tandem with a black sharpie as a record keeper. It has worked ok over they ears but I often misplace the Sharpie and can't remember...

I am needing to replace a lawnmower tank and I came across this one: 7 Gallon Black Tank 15"L X 8.5"W X 14.25"H (2-1/4" Neck) | U.S. Plastic Corp. It is HPDE, will it hold up to gasoline?

and by the time I had that line off from behind an auxiliary hydraulic pump on the side of my Ford 3910 I had the hood and muffler off. Then to repair a dent in the front cowling under the radiator I figured I have the tractor this far apart, might as well paint it. Painting this tractor was...

My wife and I just moved out to the family farm I grew up on, finished the house up along with an 1800' driveway, 30x50 shop, and all the utilities. I used to do a fair bit of commercial lawnmowing with mid mount mowers and always wanted a Grasshopper just never bought one. Since I am only...

My dad has wanted a D15 or D14 for several years, he has always been partial to the original orange. Anyway I found this one on Craigslist a few days ago and judging by the pictures he had listed I printed it out and told my dad if there were ever a D14 in good shape this one looks like it. He...

I have a few Massey related questions for you but for some reason I can't send you a PM. On the wheels of my 135, are they supposed to be red and silver or Red and MF gray? I have seen them painted each way where the centers of the front and back are red while the rim is silver or red and then...

All the add on power steering kits I have found are for the Perkins 152 diesel, does anyone know of any that fit the Continental Z145 4 cyl. gas or if they will interchange? The tractor has never had power steering and while I have it all torn apart in a restoration I thought about adding it...

Anybody have one? For Christmas this year I got my wife a Kitchenaide 5 quart Artisan mixer, she has always wanted one and she has been fairly quiet in the past year with a few firearm, reloading equipment and other tool purchases. So to reward her quietness and to keep the peace as best as I...

The guy was about 40, I knew him fairly well, know his mom and dad and brothers. He was bushhogging and a piece of debris came out from underneath about the size of a .22 bullet and right into his brainstem. Guessing near a 70-100 hp open station tractor, front chainguards on the mower, don't...

I have an Allis Chalmers 180 deisel that is leaking between the head and injector, below the rubber seal. Do they make a seal kit for the inector or do I need to replace the entire thing? I know I'll find out when I call the AGCO dealer tomorrow just wanting to know if anybody has done this...

I figure I'll post some educationa lpictures of teh inside of a combine from the controls through the guts. One of teh guys I work for just traded this 2188 in on a new Case/IH 2588 but for the most part these axial flow combines are real similar: Ok what you are seeing here is teh back part of...

Even though we'll be doing beans in a few weeks we figured while we're cleaning the corn head we may as well blow off the entire machine: Not a long job but not a complete washdown either: http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee53/Rickpierson1/Corn%20harvest/P1010288.jpg...

Lets see how good some of you fellow guru's are. My dad farmed with this tractor for a while and still had it when I was born in 1980. I know what this is but lets see if someone can figure it out with just this picture: Me and Dad and his tractor pictures from trucks photos on webshots PS...

What does one cost new? I have a chance to buy one for about $700-$800 bucks but have to drive 130 miles to get it. I am thinking the light duty 1572 sells retail for about $6xx and the 3572 is the heavy duty. This one doesn't have hydraulic cylinders to control angle, offset or tilt but I'll...

I have a Ford 3910 with a 7209 (might be a 7208) loader on it and a 7' bucket. The bucket is a bit big for this tractor and I'd prefer a 6' bucket instead. Whenever I get this thing full of rock the rear gets a bit light, tires are loaded and I can get more weight in the back for it if I want...

I bought and had delivered a Ford 3910, 1989 model with a loader, 1700 hours and 60-70% tires all around, ROPS, seat belt, both sets of interchangeable balls, and the rears filled. It needs some TLC on the paint but mechanically it is ready to go. It's pretty obvious the previous owner didn't...

I found a 2003 model 2120 Ford New Holland yesterday, talked to teh salesman today who I have known for quite a while and have dealt with him quite a bit with a guy I work for who farms 2000 acres. Anyway the Tractor is a 2120 4wd with a loader, it's a 2003 model with 650 hours and they are...

I'm thinking about buying a used Bobcat, most likely like a 742 (smallest) to 773 (biggest). I'm buying some property out on the farm where I'll have to put a road in about 3/8 mile long and also be building a house and barn in the next few years. I'm looking at a Bobcat because my dad has his...

I was thumbing through the Trader tonight at dinner and HOLY MOTHER COW...... Stihl FS 96 $100. Called the guy and he said his wife does the trimming and it was too big for her, she wanted something smaller..... hasn't run much in the last two years, had a new carb put on two years ago. My...

An older guy I go to church with called me and ask if I'd help him remove a basketball goal from the edge of his driveway. NO problem.... It was a 4" steel pipe that went to regulation height of 10', and had a perfect 3' radius bend on the top piece of it (I'd like to see the pipe bender that...

The sidewalk is approx. 5' wide and I need to bury a 4" pipe under it, and I don't really want to cut the concrete out and repour it. I've got a few ideas but lets here what the TBN braintrusts come up with.

If anyone remembers my fiasco last year with the neighbors who called the sherrif on us while running a combine at 2 am this is from the same folks. It appears their youngest son (15-16 years old) put a slug through another neighbors window last weekend. he shot at a deer across a field and...

I had a major flood in my basement last week when the sewer backed up 18" in my basement. Insurance is covering damages and clean up costs but I did most of the work myself. Aside from my time I don't have much in damages, I was in the process of finishing my basement and had two walls done...

I need a wheel lock for a power spin out wheel for an Allis Chalmers W or D series tractor. If you have one in your shop laying around and don't need it tell me what you want for it!

Man, I've been here for about a year and was hoping the Massey section would liven up. I guess our little secret of who really has the best built tractor is spreading. On the downward complaint side, my 135 Deluxe got stuck in reverse somehow a few days ago. It was right after I got done...

It looks like these folks are having a problem. I'm sure with all the vast knowledge of semi-useless data we all have we could get it done. </font><font color="blue" class="small">( Dead Man's Family Stuck With Locked Safes LAWTON, Okla. (AP) — Steve Lee loved the thrill of cracking open a...

I hav the task upon me to remove the top 6" of dirt from the area where my dog pens are and thefeced in area around it so that I can remove hook worms annd whip worms and their eggs from the soil. There is no spray that will do the trick, the only way is to remove the top 6" of topsoil and...

This stuff is still under development, but since it was developed at the universtiy where I work I have to let EVERYONE know about it: http://news.siu.edu/news/February05/022305kj5012.jsp Basically it replaces sand as an ingredient in concrete and uses bottom ash from coal fired power plants...

Howdy guys, I just got a new rig to mow my yard. I figured I didn't want to be underpowered anymore so I went a bit bigger than what most folks would.

I've been looking (internet and brochure) at the 5400 series (5435 & 5445) and wondered if anyone has one. What is the difference between the engines in the 5435 and the 471 & 481? Also between the 5445 and 5455, what is the difference in the engine to get an extra 10 hp, both have the same...

Friday night I was in the combine with the guy farming our place and he was on a mission to get it done. He had about 50 acres of milo ready right now and rain was expected Sat. morning and all this week and anyone who knows winter weather will tell you that a forecast like that at this time of...

I work an 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift and check this site when I get to work and before I leave. I have noticed this site comes alive about 5:30 a.m., I realize the time zone differences but do most of you guys check this as soon as you wake up, before you leave the house or as soon as you get to...

It ain't a tractor but still just as much needed and appreciated. I finally bought my first BRAND NEW truck. Since some of you guys are as loyal and as full of suggestions as the morning coffee fella's I had to spread the news. Just this afternoon I got a black 2004 F-150 XLT 4x4, reg. cab...

I have been looking at new MF's in the 45-65hp range. Tonight I was looking on ebay for some parts for my MF 135 (and saw in the tractor section that they were selling these Ursus tractors the description/ad said "Ursus trctors like Massey." Being the inquisitive person I am I loooked at them...

Alright here's what I got: about twney acres of clover, on fairly level land, that has johnson grass in various spots. I have looked at the 25 gal. spray rigs with a 10' boom for four-wheelers and that is really what I need except I want a rope wic apllication system instead of sprayer nozzles...
