I actually like the cut on the 50" better. You can see from the pic that it's been used a lot. I bought the tractor (a 5665) about 5 years ago or so. It's for sale (including the deck) if anyone's interested. I'd like to get $650. I used the 42" on my older 5465 for a long time as my...

"Tractor Time With Tim" just posted this link over at the green tractor website... Kukje Machinery Co., LTD., Bad Boy Reach Agreement on Tractors | Farm Equipment

I've got a 40" kidney deck and a 50" A-Frame deck. If you can find the 50", go for that (assuming it's not too big to go through any gates you have). The 50" A-Frame is quick to adjust the height and it leaves a better cut. I mowed with the 40" for years and it does OK, but the 50" just...

I live on about 5 acres - most of it is woods. Or at least it used to be woods until the Emerald Ash Borer arrived. Being in Ohio, we're also pretty overrun with honeysuckle. I want to clear a lot of it out, but I also want to be pretty selective about what I'm cutting out as I want to...

CONGRATS on the new baby, Greg!! He is a cutie!! It's going to be cool to follow your progress on this truck. I'm in awe of you guys that have the time and the talent to take on a project like this. The extent of my very limited talent is this cedar lamp post I'm working on... Since you...

Sweetie bought me this one a couple of years ago for my birthday. It was mostly a joke, but I use it quite a bit. If I end up on a long conference call on my cell instead of my VOIP with headset, this thing is a lot more comfortable to hold on my shoulder than the actual cell phone. Plus, I...

I have a bumper kind of like this one on the front of my Jeep. One day I noticed all the paint was scraped off on one of the radius' on the hoop. Flecks of white paint in it too. Then I looked down from the top and noticed the tow-point, which stuck out the same distance as the hoop, was...

I wasn't sure where else to post this but I know this forum gets a lot of traffic so here I am. :) Long story short - I got a panicked / frantic call from the ex-wife the other night. She had "Microsoft Tech Support" on her land line and they were concerned about her computer because it was...

I want to put in a gate at the end of the driveway. Nothing fancy - probably just going with a 14' "farm gate" from the local feed store. We're just looking at something that will keep "explorers" from coming down our driveway in the middle of the night. Anyway - here's the question... I'm...

Pics you need and pics you shall have!! :thumbsup: From the side: From the end: (Hot tub will go to the right of the upper door) Close-ups of the framing below:

After many years, I'm finally giving in to SWMBO and agreed to a hot tub. Not getting a big one - just a two seater. You can see it here. This thing only holds 140 gallons, so it's relatively "light" compared to a lot of the other 4 and 6 seat models. According to the spec, it weighs 526 lbs...

I know that the topic of using utility poles has been written about ad-infinitum but something that I haven't seen written about is using them for cross-members or beams. Here's what's going on - the other day as I was pulling out of my driveway I noticed a utility contractor across the street...

Duwop - as far as I know, you're right - 1952 according to the serial number. What year is yours? No real updates at this point. Mostly I've been doing "research", primarily on FarmallCub.com. Great group of folks over there - almost as great as the folks here on TBN!! :thumbsup: I've found...

Well, I got 'er home! :thumbsup: And she's in pretty sad shape but I think she's still restorable. I had talked to the guy that had kept it all these years and he warned me that the front tires were in really bad shape. I figured the rears were going to be in bad shape as well, so I lucked...

check this out... From page 5: Just curious why you don't want the dogs barking with the alarm. I have the Dakota 2500 and the dog heard it at 3:00 a.m. and woke me up in time to find some juvenile delinquent in our driveway. I originally had the receiver in my basement office so I could...

I am making a trip to WV tomorrow to take care of some family business. While there I am going to pick up an old Farmall Cub tractor that a neighbor has been storing for safe keeping. I will also be bringing back some other stuff. To make the trip, I am renting a Ram 2500 with a "heavy duty"...

Here's one that I haven't seen on TBN... I was fueling up my JD 3520 using one of those stupid new designed fuel cans where you have to push down on the nozzle to let the fuel flow into the tank. I was just about done emptying the 5 gallon can and when I lifted the can off the edge of the fuel...

I may be getting my Grandpa's old Cub sometime soon. Here's the story... My mom was born on a small "farm" (21 acres) in West Virginia back in the 30's. While my grandparents were still living there my Grandpa bought a FarmAll Cub. I don't know if he bought it new or used or what year it is...

Debated about putting this in "Attachments", "Welding" or "Build-It Yourself". Hopefully this is a good forum for my questions.... I ordered a Thumb from Green's Machine to mount to my FEL bucket. It's on the UPS truck and will be here this afternoon! :) I have a 2005 JD 3520 with a 300CX...

I know that this question, or a variation of it has been asked about 12 million times! But searching gives me too many non-specific results and I know NOTHING about hydraulics so I need a little hand holding on this. I'm just amazed at guys like J_J that can answer this stuff in their sleep...

Well, I picked it up! No free bottles of wine although I thought that the winery owner was going to throw one in. He said something about and then walked off and I never saw him again. Oh, well. LOL! Overall, for what I think it's age is, it seems to be in pretty good shape. All the...

Came across this roll-over box blade on CraigsList for a fairly low price. Can anyone ID the make/manufacturer of this and give a recommendation on whether I should drive an hour to look at it? 64" Wide. THANKS!!!

For the last six months or so I've been trying to figure out what will be the perfect grapple for me. I think I want the clamshell style rather than one with longer bottom tines. I came across Dirt Dog grapples on the web and like the looks of them. Dirt Dog has been around a long time, they...

I came across the picture below while searching through old 35mm slides to show at my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. This was taken in Weisbaden, Germany around 1968 or so. I'm the cute little guy in the trailer along with my older brother. The older fella in the trailer was a German man...

I know you're on a limited budget, but... Have you considered an old Gravely riding tractor (4 wheel) and putting a two-wheel Gravely tiller or rotary plow up front. Here's a thread from another forum that discusses it. And, here is a picture of a rotary plow mounted to the front of a 4...

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the "Build It Yourself" section. Since this project involves welding/fabrication, I thought I'd do it here. If one of the mods thinks it belongs elsewhere, feel free to move it. :) So, here's the story.... I have a lot of honeysuckle and other...

I have a JD 3520 with a 300CX loader. There are a couple of things that I want to make to attach the FEL and I'm looking for a frame to weld up to so I don't have to worry about making the quick attach brackets. I know of one place - www.artillian.com - that makes frames for this purpose but I...

Apologies in advance for the length of this! :) I need some advice from the more experienced and super-smart TBNer's! In southwest Ohio we are cursed with an invasive shrub called honeysuckle. My woods (as well as most of the woods around here) are infested with this stuff. It encroaches...

Thanks for the replies to my original post!! Here's what I ended up doing... I put pipe on both my FEL and my rear blade. The front piece is 1.5 ABS. On the rear blade it痴 2 ABS. I got both pieces at Menards for about $7 each. I cut a slit in them using my circular saw and then beat them on...

I recently bought a JD 3520 and I love it! I've used it for mowing and last week for spreading 50+ tons of gravel. I don't even want to think about what that job would have been like if I had to use my old walk-behind Gravely! Anyway, I'm looking at a rear mounted blade to help maintain my...
