Hope you get healed up quickly and back in the saddle asap. Have you got it fired up again, already?? Good luck!!

Sorry if this has come up already, but was wondering if Bad Boy actually designed/manufactured their new line up of tractors, or if they were from another company and rebadged/painted to Bad Boy spec's?? Anyone know? They look pretty nice, actually. I don't plan on buying one, but was just...

I was planning to make a trip to the closest Agri-Supply store to get the discs, for sure. They beat the local Tractor Supply pricewise, and as heavy as these are (we'll probably buy at least 8 discs), it would be cost prohibitive to have them shipped. I have a local guy who has good prices on...

Yep, I'm well aware of the online parts store, but all I have to go on is "H2000" and it doesn't recognize that model. This is a VERY OLD disc harrow, and maybe they haven't gone back and converted it to the modern way of being online??

Hi folks, been away from this forum for a LONGGGG time, but have a question..... please see the attached picture. I believe this to be a 5ft John Deere H2000 disc harrow, which belongs to my hunt club. It's in need of repair as some of the discs are broken, and a couple bearings need to be...

Imo, a potential cause of the "circular hole" is the steel that the deck is of made isn't thick enough, or the deck design isn't strong enough, to prevent the gearbox (with blade pan and blades attached of course) from "flexing" or "wobbling" every time it hits a solid object, ie a rock or a...

This is where I mounted mine at. The screen is home made, but I was able to bolt the bracket for the FE right onto the expanded metal. Works good, lasts long time!

I know this subject has been discussed ad nauseum here, but I was at my parents today doing yardwork and this tractor came by their house. They live in a rural area, so it's a common occurrence, right? Well, this one had a young lad riding on the fender. The road is a primary highway, lots of...

There's a train in this pic: Train - $200 (Taylors) Train pulled by riding lawnmower in good condition.

There are some ramps in the pic, I promise! Ramps Reduced - $30 (Belton) 2x12x8 foot ramps. Treated boards. Good condition. Price is firm. Can meet in xxxxxxxxxxx area only. Thanks

At least this guy is not hiding anything lol. Kubota L2350 rebuilt engine -$5500

For those of us in the more southern parts of the country, have you put out any hummer feeders yet? If so, are you seeing any? I'm probably going to put one out in a couple days, but was wondering what others were seeing.

Your chain "bucket" is very similar to mine. My design is "pinned" in so I can pull out a pin and pull the entire chain bucket out.

Just for fun, here's a pic of my Sitrex SM-150 RFM. I bought it used off of craigslist for $435 several years ago. Been a very good mower for me, only thing I would change is the side discharge. The rear discharge design gets rid of the chute, so you can mow close to something on either side of...

I saw this picture of a JD bush hog on craigslist and noticed a modification on it that looks pretty slick. At least, if it does what I think it does.... looks like someone mounted a disk on each front corner that is made to rotate? If that's what they are for, when you hit a tree or fencepost...

More pictures... the one hood ornament is from the car upside down. I was told in the antiques forum that it was of a 1954 Plymouth. I googled images of that car and it sure looked like it to me. I am pretty confident the other two cars are chevy products.

I've been hunting the same property for 5 years now, it's about 125 acres and I really haven't walked the entire property yet. Most of it is in planted pines with lots of hollows and big mature oaks that were untouched during the clearcut some years ago. There are also lots of gulley's and...

And the finished product.... Now I can see all the way up and down the gasline when I hunt there this fall!! :cool: This pic was taken standing beside the stand, you can see the shadow of it on the ground. I still have to fix the roof where some limbs dropped through it. Yeah, there's still a...

WRONG!!!!

Checked my game camera today and caught this massive "buzzsaw" on my camera, which is sitting on a gas line watching my food plot. After talking with Dominion Gas the year before last, I knew they were coming through there in 2018 as it was time for the 5yr rotation to clear the RoW on this...

It is nice!! My chainsaw holder is close to the same location, it's inboard of the FEL mast on the right side. But, sadly, mine has no artwork on it, it's just green. :( I still like it, though. :p

Right after a rare wash job: Sometime later, after I added the metal screen onto the ROPS:

Just wondered what everyone thinks of this new product by W. R. Long. The name is a bit deceptive as it's not something intended to directly improve the "ride" of your tractor, but it dampens the movements of the FEL as you traverse over (uneven) ground. The end result I suppose is that it could...

I know occasionally some people come here looking for salvage tractors, so I thought I would mention that there is a junk 4x4 B1750 HST here in SC that is being sold for parts. The motor went bad, it was taken apart, and never put back together. The tractor is in a lot of parts pieces right now...

My JD 790 is totally dead, it does nothing when I turn the key. Three weeks ago, it was running just fine and I cut grass for two hours, then I parked it. Last weekend I went to crank it up and for about 1 second I barely got a red light on, and a faint click of the starter solenoid. Then...

When will we see the flat proof tires offered on new compact tractors? Or do some compact tractors already have them available? Or is that a bad idea? I personally haven't seen any compact tractors with them myself, but today I did see a new John Deere ZTR mower on a trailer that had flat proof...

If I am understanding you correctly, I believe the top link should be attached. Or else, how will you ever be able to raise the implement and drive down the road at highway speed (if you needed to)? On my bush hog, the two flat bars that go to the rear of the mower are fixed (don't move at...

The "fender storage" is just an ammo box that I added on for a small tool box. I decided to "pimp" it out with a black vinyl padded console lol. It was the first mod I did, so the canopy wasn't on it at the time. I just have to be careful about resting my arm on it on a hot, sunny day. The...

I bought a Great Day canopy two years ago. Not suggesting this would be an ideal solution for the OP, but it's the best money I've spent, as far as add-on's are concerned. I added the "headache rack" to keep FO's (flying objects) behind me.:thumbsup:

I wonder if it feels intimidated? :laughing: Just poking a little fun at you "orange" guys!!! Ran over to a nearby JD dealer today to pick up two bushings for a JD 261 grooming mower that I'm rebuilding and saw this 'bota sitting on their lot. It's used, and I believe it's for sale. Not...

Sorry for the really long post here, but thought the details might be pertinent... This first started about 2 weeks ago, I removed the loader to mow the yard, because it's easier to maneuver with it off, and it lowers the chance of hitting something making sharp turns. So, after I got through...

If you have a few minutes to waste, this is probably the best collection of tractor fails I've seen. Can't decide which is the best clip, but the guy who gets his backside showered with dirt on the tractor pulling contest had me rolling in the floor! The dude on the "rock crawler" was pretty...

Here's what I did. To be honest, I am not sure what these weights came from, but they were bolted to the rear wheels of a JD 750 that I bought some years ago and then later sold, but I kept the weights. Sorry, this the best pic I have at the moment, but you'll have to take my word there is...

I vote for the metal ammo box myself, preferably one with a padded arm rest. :thumbsup:

How do you all get the oil out of a gearbox that doesn't have a drain plug?? Besides turning a 600lb implement upside down, or using a tube to siphon the oil out?? I need to change the gear oil in my bush hog and finish cut mower, just looking for the easiest way to do it. I think they (Harbor...

I had been watching a decent looking JD 261 5ft grooming mower for a couple weeks on CL that was listed at $500. Well, just this morning he dropped the price to $400, so thinking that he was now at $400, I might could get it for even less. So, I called the guy up and got the directions and drove...

Congrat's to you sir, with the first correct response. You are now the big man on the board, for a day lol. It's actually a M&W PT355 dynamometer. I noticed there were several other correct responses as well, from some other knowledgeable members on the forum. Just thought it would be some fun...

Guess what this attachment is? No hints, and no prizes either, other than you can be the BMOB, if you have the first correct guess. That's big man on the board in case you didn't know. I will say up front it's not a generator or a water pump. And yes, I do know what it is. I'll check back in the...

Here's my tool box, chain bucket, and fire extinguisher. Also, someone else already suggested this, but I added a canopy and it was WELL WORTH the money. I typically don't like to wear a cap, so it helps keep the sun from cooking my already feeble brain. ;) The canopy mounts had U-bolts that...

I was watching some videos on youtube and came across this one that shows a number of large dump trucks driving down a road with the dump bed fully raised. Of course, just about all of them either hit an overhead bridge or catch some overhead wires and rip them down. Coming from someone who has...

Got this pic of what appears to be a three legged coyote a couple weeks ago and wanted some opinions on it. Does it have just three legs, or is the left hind leg obscuring the right hind leg because of the angle? As a bonus, I have another pic of a three legged coyote that I got in 2014. Or...

Here's a pic of the KKII 5ft rototiller I scored on CL some years ago. It was like new as the tines had all the paint on them and very little wear. They went new for about $1300, I paid $900 for it, so yeah, you got a great deal, but mine does look a lot better. :p I see that yours is missing...

We all know tractors are deadly in a roll over, but atv's can be too. Sorry, there are no pic's at the link. A 46-year-old North Carolina man was killed Friday when he was pinned under his ATV while hauling logs, deputies said. McDowell County sheriff痴 deputies said William Scott Stockton, of...

This is what a cultipacker does for me. I use a cultivator first, then disc it, then run over it with the cultipacker to create a nice, firm seed bed. Here's mine that I found on CL, it's a 5 1/2' homemade job that was converted to work on a 3pt hitch. It also has four shanks on it which...

This picture was taken in '57, I believe, of some new 8N's (or 9N's??) arriving at Smith Brothers Tractor Co. in Anderson, SC. They are still in business, today. Wonder what they were using to stack/unstack the tractors with?

Here's a tool (ammo) box/console that I added to my 790 a few years ago. Love it!! http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/217918-heres-my-tool-box-console.html?highlight= Here's a chain bucket that I added to it. I keep a 24" pry bar in it, along with three chains: A 15ft, a 10ft...

Here's a fence unroller I came across sometime ago. Would be fairly easy to make/adapt for barbwire if you have all the usual metal working tools. Another user had posted a pic of a fence unroller he made sometime ago that attached to the bucket (actually hung off one side of the bucket) on the...

Saw a TSC 3pt carry all for $75 on CL so went by to check it out after work today. Got to the sellers place at 4:30 and saw it was in great shape, but hey, what can go wrong with a carry all, right?? Offered him $60, he said no, will take $70, and I said let's load it up. Fortunately, he had a...

I have a local Yanmar dealer that has new Yanmar's on his lot that are of different colors. The compacts are red, and there are some larger models with full cab that are also red with beige rims. There is a series in between that is yellow and black. Why do they paint them different colors...

First of all, I am not selling these enclosures nor am I connected to the seller, so I hope the mod's will allow this thread to stand. I know of a seller who has (5) new enclosures (stock# GR-KUPENC in the box) that will fit Kubota L45 TLB's. Supposedly, these enclosures are $1489 new, but he's...

Several years ago I bought a class AB dry powder fire extinguisher from Lowes (cost about $50) to keep on my tractor. I got one that was is about 5-6 lbs and is all metal (metal valve and handle) so it could be recharged, I had read somewhere that the cheaper plastic units typically can't be...

Believe it or not, I bought that camera 6 yrs ago for $100 at wallyworld. If I had a nickle for every pic it's taken, I could retire a multimillionaire lol. But, it's still taking GREAT pic's. I've had it in the current location for 4 years, when I got access to this property. Here's one of the...

Three pic's from my game camera....

I prefer the antlers, even though you can't eat them! :D This guy is #1 on my hit list:

Here's a series of pic's of the food plot on the gas line on the property where I hunt at. This is the 4th year I've been hunting this property, and it's the 3rd year I've had this food plot on the gas line (same place each time) and so far, it's looking like this might be the best one yet. It's...

I looked at the PW this evening, I couldn't really find a nameplate on the engine, with the model number/ serial number. Where would it be at? I did notice there is a metal plate just above the muffler with some numbers stamped into it. It is a 190cc engine with OHV. There is a nameplate with...

I was using my TroyBilt pressure washer back in the summer (July 4th weekend) and best as I can recall it was running fine, when I shut it off. Recently I tried to fire it up and the pull rope was REALLY hard to pull, couldn't even get the engine to spin up fast enough to crank it had so much...

I fabbed up a little screen guard that I now call a F.O.G. to keep stuff from hitting me in the back when bushhogging, backing up the tractor out in the woods, etc. The mounting brackets on the Great Day canopy that I installed on the ROPS earlier this year made a great place to bolt the guard...

The weekend before last I went to one of the local flea markets near my home. Trips to the flea markets have NEVER failed to amaze me at the stuff you see there. This trip was no exception, in fact, it went to a new level of weirdness. This Jeep Cherokee has been stripped down to the floor pan...

Yes, you can add shims to the relief valve and it will increase the hydraulic pressure by a modest amount. You will need a 0-3000 PSI pressure gauge to check the pressure before and after shimming it. Just don't go over 2500 PSI. The factory setting is supposed to be 2050 PSI. Here's one of...

NICE work on your cultipacker! I like it. I have a home made cultipacker as well, but someone else built it. I bought it off CL for $350, I think it was. It's made a little differently in that it has four rippers in front of the wheels. This actually works well, it tends to lightly cover most of...

According to the Tuff Bilt website, they plan to offer an electric tractor on 2017. I know the subject of electric tractors has come up before on this forum, but it looks like it will be a reality next year. Their models seems to be special purpose though, mostly for use in confined spaces. I...

This truck showed up at my local Ford dealer a couple days ago. I waited until today when there are no sales droids there to stop by and take a pic of it. This is an F-150, and it has the Tuscany Tonka package, which adds all the bells & whistles, along with the lift kit with taller tires. The...

I bought a used IM502 model (which has the slipclutch) and have been running it for about 7 years now behind my 30hp JD790. No problems whatsoever, other than at times in very TALL, HEAVY grass, it will bog the motor down noticeably when taking full width cuts. Hoever, I am guessing that...

I have an International Machinery World Agritech bush hog (model IM502) and it is a true medium duty mower. I would wager money that it's as every bit as strong as the SQ600 is. I bought it used and mine has never failed in the 7 years I have owned it, but not sure how old it is. I don't know...

Just for the heck of it, here's a pic of the tail wheel on my bush hog. The reason is it "pointing" the wrong way was because the bush hog had been raised up, and then when I stopped the tractor and parked it, I dropped the bush hog. Whenever I raise it, gravity pulls the tailwheel down so it's...

This is an actual CL ad that was posted today. I liked the "brand new 22yr old" part the best lol. It reminds me of the guy who put an ad on CL for a fully and professionally restored 8N for $12,995. Yes, that was $12,995. favorite this post Lawnboy 10545** New in Box ** - 1994 - $1250 -...

Just thought I would add some pic's of my cultipacker. It's a home made job as well, but I had nothing to do with building it. I was watching CL for a long time and finally saw this one just north of charlotte, so I went and got it for the reasonable price of $350. Or at least, I thought it was...

Saw this heading east on I-20 today, he probably had just left the JD factory in Augusta an hour or so before I took the pic. I think the trucker should have gotten a small sleigh and mounted it on the very back of the trailer bed, right in the middle. Then get a dummy dressed up as a Santa but...

I've heard them called finish (cut) mowers, estate mowers, and grooming mowers. They're all the same type of mower, right?? Or is there actually some subtle difference(s) between them?

Been wanting a canopy for some time now and finally got a Great Day unit to put on the 790. I saw this one on CL but it was a pretty good drive so I passed on it at first. I kept seeing it when I did searches on CL so I finally emailed the guy and asked about it. He said he had bought it (new...

Here's an old pic with my 790 on the trailer with the disc harrow, and the 4 wheeler in the truck bed. I had a seed spreader in there somewhere too, was going to the hunt club to put in some food plots. I don't have that F150 anymore, sold it and now have a 2013 black Silverado. Unfortunately...

First, let me say that this is probably not the best forum to ask, but it has a lot of viewers so I'm hoping that the collective wisdom on this site can tell me what it is. I've seen this piece of equipment around town several times, being pulled by a truck. This evening I saw it again as the...

My 2001 790 with my 5ft Sitrex finish cut mower on it. With my 5 1/2 cultipacker. I was using it to help put in food plots at a hunt club that I used to be in.

Both are F250's with the Super Duty package, 6.7L, and black leather. This garnet colored F250 with the FTX package is all chromed out, and it does have another special package on it, but don't remember for sure if it was from Tuscany or some other outfit. Yes, that is all painted plastic trim...

NICE work gentlemen!!! Mine don't hold a candle to what's already been posted, but here's a couple I've dome.... Before: After: Before: After:

Yep, I just sold one Friday on CL for $250. :thumbsup: However, it had been repainted, had mostly new hardware on it, and had 4 brand new 8" sweeps on it. Looked really good too. However, that one was the exception. Most used cultivators are priced in the $175-$200 range, around here...

A guy I work with came in to work today with a very noticeable limp. He explained that he was half way up an 8ft step ladder when the front legs collapsed and pitched him off the ladder. He said he was banged up with bruising on the chest and hip and had a lot of soreness, but he had gone to the...

It's a brand new F350 4x4 dually crew cab long bed with the Black Op's package. It also sports the FX4 package, the Lariat package, and of course the Super Duty package. It comes with the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel and 6 spd AT with 3.73 ratio axles. I am 6ft tall and when I stand beside the front...

who has one? I got an iTrue X3 dashcam about 2 months ago and really like it. I don't think I will ever be driving without one again. No, I haven't really "needed" it since I got it, but I have captured a couple of interesting moments with it. Once while driving home from work I had a guy pass...

I think he'll need at least 18ft, My 790 with loader and 5ft bush hog attached is just too long to sit on a 16ft deck. I have to let 2ft hang off one end or the other, or some of both. Usually I back it on with the bush hog raised and get the heaviest part of the tractor over both axles. Then...

Took this pic at my local Home Depot 2 or 3 weeks ago. It was taken just before the driver had secured the load. Not sure HOW he secured it, but we all know that even if you use the nylon straps with ratchets to cinch the load down, you can (and most likely will have some loose boards in the...

That's where I ordered mine from last year. Great service, good pricing, and quick too. (maybe because they are not that far from me?) Be sure to check the spacing between the bolts, there are two variations, and there are also a couple of different bolt sizes too. While you are at it, order...

A week ago last Friday I bushhogged approx. 2 1/2 acres for a neighbor. Before I started, the fuel gauge was reading just above 3/8 of a tank. I kept a close eye on it and when I got finished and drove it back to the shed, it was registering just barely above the red warning mark. So last...

Thought I would post some updated pic's I took last Saturday of the same food plot I put in about three weeks ago. It's coming up nicely after all the floods we've had here in SC the last couple weeks. Here at my house in Lexington, I've had about 24" of rain over the last three weeks! In the...

What's the best way to clean the mold off of vinyl seat that won't damage it? And is there something you can coat it with to help prevent it from coming back? I know about the armour all (silicones) but don't want to slide off my seat on steep hillside. :)

Want to get a bed mat from TSC for my Silverado and wondering what's the best way to trim one to fit? I suppose you can use pieces of cardboard to make patterns for the wheel well cutouts. How did you cut yours? What tool works the best to cut them? Thanks.

Saw this attachment on craigslist and wondered if it does what I think it does?? It looks like a finish cut mower with an "arm" that can pivot out to do "edging". I can see where that would be useful especiallyedging underneath a barb wire fence. Am I right, or does it do something altogether...

Nice looking bucks Eddie! Have you tried planting rape? Supposedly that's one that the deer like better after a few frosts. Maybe try some clover too, if you haven't already? Here's a pic of my food plot looking at it from the stand, towards the east. The gas line runs east-west, once the sun...

Yesterday I fixed up my food plot on the gas line where I deerhunt at. Two weeks ago I ran the cultivator through it a couple ofpasses to break it up. Friday evening I got the disc harrow on it and ran it through it a couple passes to work it over pretty good. Saturday morning I put the...

This is a small project compared to some others on here, but I thought I would share some pic's of a cultivator that I just recently resurrected from the dead. It was in bad shape as you can see from the before pic. I had to disassemble the whole thing, which was quite a job. Every single one of...

looking for (6) about 6" to 8" wide sweeps, not critical on the angle because I can adjust it on the shank. It just has to have 7/16" holes for the #3 bolts on 2" or 2 1/4" spacing (centers). I can find lots of sweeps with 1 3/4" spacing but not 2" spacing. Don't ask what brand cultivator it is...

I'm in the process of restoring an old cultivator and I need to get some new sweeps to go on it. This one has 6 shanks on it, and I need 3 new ones. One of them broke off, a couple are smaller than the others, and the other three are sort of a mismatch. I realize they sometimes run different...

Saw this in a parking lot yesterday. What do you think the towing capacity of this hitch is now??? Just amazing what some people will drive.

Would you be afraid to buy a 2007 model tractor with just 15 hours on it?? I'm not considering buying this by any means (especially at his asking price of $15,200!), but this tractor has done a LOT of sitting in the shed. While it looks brand new, I just wonder if that much sitting is "bad" for...

I just bought a couple of attachments and this piece was included in the deal. It is totally homemade, I think it was used to attach in place of where the top link goes, and then you could hook a chain to whatever you wanted to drag. Just no idea what that little short chain would have been used...

Yeah, it's probably oberkill but when it's all you got, it works for me lol. The shaft was one that I bought along with a Cosmo 3pt spreader (in another craigslist thread I had) and it had apparently sat out in the weather all its life. The yoke ends are rusted up some, and the two sections of...

Sorry, coming in this thread late but I wasn't able to get a picture of my stand until yesterday. I park my PHD like Eddie W. has his, suspended from overhead with a board. Imho, this setup works the best as it allows easy movement in any direction to help you get it lined up.

Got on CL late this afternoon and there was a 3pt spreader listed for $200, looked good in the pic's and the post was just an hour old so I sent an email with my number. He called me about an hour later and I asked a few questions, then asked if I could come look at it right away and he agreed...

This county owned mowing rig was parked across the street from my parent's house this weekend so I snapped a couple pic's of it to show. Not sure what the duct tape on the left rear fender was all about? And I guess that jack mounted on the mower deck is used to hold the tongue up whenever the...

I bought a used Sitrex SM-150 5ft mower around January of last year and I finally got both the belts and blades replaced on it. It cut ok with dull blades when I got it, but around last September, the belts (which had a lot of cracking when I bought it) shredded themselves cutting the grass at...

Here's another trailer that I came across in the local Lowe's parking lot a couple days ago and I snapped a quick pic of it. This one is missing both fenders, NO taillights whatsoever, missing one board on the dovetail, and missing both fold-up ramps. I guess missing the ramps is not a problem...

I would like to start a thread similar to the one with pics of people towing stuff that looks unsafe, only this thread is for unsafe or downright dangerous trailers themselves. I got behind this trailer last week and got a picture of it with my phone from the cab of my truck. Sorry for the poor...

Tragic story here, but odd at the same time. Hard to imagine how the man could have fallen off his tractor just by driving it into a garage so he could work on it?? There are no pic's at the link. CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say a man whose tractor had a flat tire was killed when he...

I recently cut down an old, unattractive crepe myrtle in myparent痴 yard and am now trying to eradicate the stump. This bush had about 6or 7 trunks growing out of the main trunk, which is actually just below grade(I cut it as flush as I could). Thetrunks are probably from 3 to about 5 in dia...

This is the second time I've seen this happen in person, but at two different locations.

Does anyone know if you can get the "Great Stuff" expanding foam in different colors? The usual color is like a beige or off-white, but I would like to get some in a dark brown, or maybe a black if they offer it. Anybody know??

hope the mod's will allow this post, just trying to help out a fellow forum member. I know of 270TL FEL that is available in the Cola, SC area, the seller is asking $2750 for it, and I believe it includes all hydraulic controls & loader mounting hardware. Supposedly it's NEW, sitting on the...

What do you think this attachment is used for? Shouldn't be too hard!

Here is a reversible pond scoop, made by A & B Eagle Line in Athen's Tenn, that I restored some years ago. It was originally red, but I painted it in equipment yellow, it just goes better with JD yellow. :) Bringing it home in the back of the truck: Finished, with new hardware and paint:

Here's a pic of it a week after being planted. It got 1/2" rain last Monday, then yesterday (Friday) it rained just under a 1/4". What you see mostly is the wheat, with clover right behind it. The peas are sprouting too. Next Saturday morning is the opening of rifle season, I will be sitting in...

Ok, I know there used to be a forum just for food plots, but couldn't find it so I hope the mod's will allow me to post this thread here. About 5 weeks ago I went over to the property I hunt on and bushhogged the area on the natural gas line where I wanted to put the food plot in. Then, about...

This is a new "Bi" set up and you can do it from the front, or from the back. Ok, enough kidding. I was just moving the bush hog on the front end to park it beside the road so people could see it better. I just thought it presented an interesting photo op. :laughing: Surprisingly, that Model 70...

I think you have a couple of options. There is a pair of clips available that attaches one to each draft link and the draw bar itself so that draw bar can't rotate. Not sure who offers them. There is a bolt on piece available that bolts to the middle of your draw bar on one end, and the other...

My gosh, what were these Italian engineers drinking when they came up with this design.?? I bought this used mower last Feb. and started using it in April or so. Before that, I spent some time greasing it up and tightening the belts. I did notice they were pretty worn and would need replacing...

Got on the 'puter yesterday afternoon to check CL out and two ad's caught my attention. One was for a 5ft Ro Cut (brandname) bushhog, the asking price was $250. The other ad was for a 5ft box blade sold by TSC, and the asking price was just $150. Both ad's were just an hour old and appeared to...

I see lots of posts on here from people looking to buy a Model 70 loader... well now is your chance! They are VERY hard to come by, as in rare, but I see that one has just come up for sale on the Columbia craigslist. It will fit a JD 750, 755, or a 790. I don't know if the mounts come with it...

I was walking my dog at the nearby soccer fields yesterday and came across this equipment. The county was apparently contracting a company to dress the soccer fields after months of hard use by all the kiddies playing in the soccer leagues. They were spreading a thin layer of white sand over the...

At least, it looked like it was a new setup. :licking: Notice the tailwheel on the BH has never been in the field. The first pic, I was right behind it when we had to stop for some construction work where they are widening the road I drive back & forth to work to four lanes. The second pic he...

I've read the horror stories and heard them first hand from some folks I know, but this morning I got a first hand experience myself. I was bush hogging the property I deer hunt on, which has a gas line that runs through the middle of the property. I was cutting a section of it where I plan to...

Need to replace the blades on my Sitrex finish cut mower and having trouble determining the size wrench needed to hold the spindle in place so you can loosen the nut on the bottom of the shaft. I know for a fact it is larger than 1 1/8", but smaller than 1 1/4". I'm guessing it's actually metric...

Was bushhogging (actually trailblazing) at the property I hunt on and got a small, old cedar tree wedged underneath the deck, actually between the blades and the deck itself. The trail I'm trying to break through is pretty narrow (in between 8yr old planted pines) and I got in a place where I...

Thanks for the link, and the other info fellows, you guys are aok. :thumbsup: Also been watching some vid's on youtube about repairing pressure washers. I suppose the unloader valve could be stuck open? On the picture of my pump, is the unloader valve that threaded shaft with the spring around...

Are there any places that can repair the pump on a pressure washer? I have a Troybilt unit with a 3000psi pump that seems to have crapped out, a new one from TB is right at $220, plus shipping. Was wondering if there was somewhere I could send it to for repair? I know, most of them are not worth...

Bought a used Sitrex SM150 last January and have used it several times this Spring. I'm happy with this mower, money well spent, even though it came equipped with three dull blades and two worn out V belts lol. I can order new belts from Ga Equipment for about $28, but would rather get them...

I fabbed a mounting plate for my extinguisher, which also has a chain saw holder built onto it at the same time. Works real good, lasts a long time lol. I have a thread on it somewhere on the forum here, if you want to see the details of it. It's mounted on my JD 790, but this location probably...

Gonna bite the bullet and get the bed sprayed on my '13 Silverado 4x4 crewcab. Have done a little research and talked with both dealers here in town. I am not so sure there's a hill of difference between the two, unless one of you knows something? The Rhino will cost $400, the Line-X will cost...

My 2001 JD 790:

I hope the mod's will allow this post, I'm only trying to help a fellow TBN'er here. This ad came up on my local craigslist. I don't know if $3500 is a good price or not (seems like it is!), but it is brand new, never installed, and never removed from the shipping pallet and the seller will...

Another tragedy last Saturday involving a tractor and a tree. No details on what happened, nor are there any photos. LITTLE MOUNTAIN, S.C. (AP) - A 45-year-old Little Mountain man trying to remove a fallen tree from his land has died. Newberry County Chief Deputy Coroner Lewis Lee said Glenn...

What's to not like about square wheel wells LOL.

Saw this Prius this morning pulling a trailer with a HD strapped down on it. Probably not over the max tow rating, but I bet they are not rated for much weight. Anybody know?? I think this was the first Prius I've seen with a trailer behind it and it was squatting pretty good. He was taking his...

I bought a 2013 4x4 Silverado Z71 1500 crewcab truck last Memorial Day and am still liking it. Have not had a moments trouble with it.... yet. Does your truck have the 5.3L V8 with the AFM in it?? That engine has had some issues with excessive oil consumption in the past (google it). I don't...

I uploaded my first video to Utube just tonight (ok, go easy on me :laughing:) and wanted to share it here. I took a quick video last Saturday of a local cattlefarmer who was seeding a hayfield that he rents to cut hay off of. It happens to be right across the street from my parents house. I...

Another tragic accident while working underneath heavy equipment. No more details other than what was copied from the TV website, but since it occurred in the same town that I work in, I should be able to find out some details at work in the next day or two. Will post back if I learn anything...

Or park them the wrong way!!!! I took this picture in London some years ago....

Would a spreader like this one work?? It's actually for sale on my local craigslist. The seller says the tractor has to have have a drawbar to mount, and it will work with 2pt or 3 pt. I am not familiar at all with those older farmalls, so admittedly I am not very knowledgeable about 1 pt...

Holymoly!!! He needs a bigger truck and/or a big azz trailer LOL. It's similar to this pic that I saw on my local CL. This guy has a rollback and he advertises that he will haul anything that he can get on the flatbed, as long as it doesn't weigh over 10klbs, for $75 plus some mileage. Some...

I was watching a youtube video last night on runaway diesel engines and not being much of a mechanic was wondering what the most common cause was for that condition?? I'm guessing it's usually a malfunction with the injector pump? I know the best way to shut down a runaway diesel is to block off...

I snapped this picture, either last year or the year before, can't remember now. That tandem axle trailer is probably not overloaded weight-wise, but I don't think the driver would want to put anything else on it!!!

This happened last week in Spartaburg, SC. A flat bed (low boy?? probably not lol) was hauling an all terrain man lift with the extendable boom which hit an overpass. Be sure to go to the link and look at all the pics, I pasted one of them at the bottom. That section of bridge shifted over 5...

Simple homemade Handi-Hitch attachment, but nearly everybody has one! Don't worry, the pins were just turned in while I was finishing it up.

Just picked up this Sitrex 5ft finish mower today, pics are it sitting on my little 10ft trailer right after I got back to the house. Looks to be decent shape, no major bends/breaks/or welding and everything seems to be there. Didn't get to see or hear it run due to that fact that the man's...

My parents have a Craftsman mower that痴 about 3yrs old, and I bet the motor doesn稚 have 120 hrs on it. It has a 22hp Kohler Courage series engine, which is a single piston engine. This past summer was EXTREMELY wet for SC, which means that the grass grew like crazy, faster than we could keep up...

I bought this nearly new '13 Z71 last Memorial Day and have since had some time to do a few things to it..... First, I had a Rough Country 3.5" lift kit installed. The next thing was a set of nice chrome rims that I got off of craigslist. Then had some Falken WildPeak 285-65-18 tires mounted on...

I bought my '01 JD 790 four yrs ago and never had any problems with the battery until last Friday. I was bushhogging for a couple hours and then parked it. A bit later I went to crank it up to move it and got nothing out of the starter, not even a click. Having had it for 4 years, I just knew it...

I fabbed up a "chain bucket" which is made of a piece of 4" dia PVC that was bolted to a mounting bracket for a 2" reese hitch. This bracket slides into a mating bracket that is part of what the FEL mounts to the tractor with. This way, I can remove it whenever I need to. Maybe you could come...

This old JD has been converted into a work of art. Yes, that is tile covering all the body parts and wheels. It's obviously not a running tractor anymore, I guess it was done to be more of an attraction than anything. It's parked in the middle of downtown Ridge Spring, SC, right next to the old...

This was posted on a TV website here in SC. I know the owner was sick to his stomach when he woke up and realized the trailer was gone, with his restored '35 pickup inside it. I can't tell what kind of pickup that is, way before my time??? Antique Truck and Trailer Stolen in Orangeburg Co...

With all the rain we've had in the South this spring/summer, cutting grass has been a nightmare!! Even when the grass is dry (no condensation on the blades or recent rain) the grass clippings have so much moisture content, that the deck still gets grass clippings to stick and build up and...

Watch this video, and run it up to the 3:30 mark. car crashes caught on camera December 2012 - YouTube The guy who cranked it up was pretty lucky.

Here's a quick pic I took of the truck last night, just as it was getting dark. It's still a bit grainy and I had to lighten it up some, but you can get an idea of how it looks now. I bought the rims off of craiglist, that style of rim was actually sold new on older GMC trucks that had the...

I just bought my '13 silverado Z71 last Memorial day and have had a 3.5" lift kit installed, and I just upgraded the tire size to 305-65-18's. So now the odometer is off, which throws off all of the fuel mileage calculations that the computer does. I think there's a parameter in the computer...

Today on the interstate I came upon a tow vehicle (which was the older model CJ7) with a 16 or maybe 18 ft trailer hooked to it. There was a older model ford two wheel drive long bed pick up sitting on the trailer. I swear, that jeep looked like it was almost dragging the rear bumper from the...

Yep, I think that higher lift is the answer, as I had guessed it. Here's a pic of the homemade one, it was made out of steel pipe and other steel pieces. It will fold flat for compact storage too. :)

I have two boom poles, one is a hinged homemade design, the other is factory made one piece welded design (no hinge) that most people have and use. Maybe I am blind, but I just don't see any real advantage to having the hinged design, so maybe someone can give the reason(s) if there is an...

More pic's. That's a serious brush guard up front. Cab looks roomy and comfy. Unfortunately, the doors were locked. Notice the speakers overhead. Those DOT guys got it easy. :laughing:

This was parked across the street from my parents house this weekend. A brand spanking new green mowing machine for cutting the RoW. :thumbsup: Apparently, the DOT is mowing the roads in their area. It's a big arse tractor, but it would be nice to drive it just to see what it's like. Btw...

Somebody got them a brand new pretty blue toy.... uhhhhh, I mean work machine today lol. I think it was about 75hp. I started to try and holler out the window to tell him to check the lug nuts on it! He probably would have thought I was crazy too. Hopefully his dealer already did it for him...

It's for sale on a local craigslist. I personally wouldn't get near it with a 20ft pole.

A new Chevy Silverado Z71 4x4!! :thumbsup: I just took delivery a couple hours ago, and it's not actually *brand new*, but it's so nearly new it hasn't even turned 1000 miles yet! Most of you will recall the thread I started about "rate this GMC deal". I passed on that truck (glad I did!) and...

I'm thinking about going to look at this GMC truck this weekend. It's really just about what I am looking for in appearance, features, and price range. I have already had several emails with the seller, but no phone calls (yet). I do plan to call him later this evening as he just emailed a few...

Was wondering if any of you have put out your feeders yet for the little hummers? And if you are seeing any/many?? I put one out at my parents house yesterday (who live in the country), but haven't put any out at my house yet (live close to the big city). Love watching the little hummers, they...

Wow, there has been a rash of equipment related accidents here in SC lately. It's the 4th one I've read of or heard of that involved 3 different tractors, one backhoe, and three deaths (one was a lady killed when she hit an attachment on the back of a tractor in her car and ran off the road and...

I have no doubts as to whether or not it's true. Her brother in law's family owns a farm that is not far from the plant in Batesburg-Leesville, where we both work at. They mainly grow asparagus and also have some peach orchards. Last Monday evening her B-i-L was plowing some of the fields with...

Tragic accident while operating a backhoe. Worker apparently buried alive on North Charleston job site - Local News - Charleston, SC | NBC News North Charleston police are investigating a bizarre accident where a worker was apparently buried alive. Around 10:00 Saturday...

Sorry if this one's been posted before..... Do you think this little JD tractor needs more ballast up front, or maybe just a new operator with some brains??? John Deere lawn tractor pulls F350 Dually - YouTube

There are no pictures at the link, other than a photo of the subject who was placed under arrest. Sounds like the accident might have been caused by carelessness on the part of the tractor operator. This happened about 20 miles from where I live, and was even closer to where I work. Just a...

No, it wasn't me! Came upon this little scene while driving home from work today and I had to turn around and get a pic of it!!! It's a little creek bottom (the creek is behind the tall brush behind tractor) that feeds into a pond about 250 yds on the other side of the tractor. This property is...

Last Saturday I was tilling the garden spot when the tiller went over something pretty hard that made some racket. I thought I should stop, get off, and check it out but I didn't. Went back over the same spot for a 2nd pass and it did it again so I said to self, ok stop and get off now to see...

I am still working on getting this PTO shaft going for my rototiller!! If I can get this u-joint out, I think I will have it licked.... but how does it come out?? I have pounded it through from one side so that the cup on the left is free and clear of the yoke (left side). But, it looks like the...

Ok, enough of the comic relief! It's a bedshaver. Here's another picture showing the front of it. This one has knives to slit the plastic sheeting. I took this pic yesterday at a U-pick strawberry farm that I drive by everyday on the way to work. There was frost warning for this morning...

I am sure some of you will know what it is right away, but if you do, hold off a bit and let's see what a few other folks think it is. That's usually pretty interesting to hear! Correct guesses win nothing but the respect and admiration of your fellow TBN'ers! :thumbsup:

Goodness, another rollover resulting in the death of the operator. The same thing happened in the same general area just a couple weeks ago! I copied & pasted that story on the safety forum in another thread further down below. There are no pic's at the link. Man Dies When Tractor Rolls Over...

Agreed 100%. I think the Int'l is a slight notch above the KK units. That's just my thinking from what I have seen personally with the two units. For those very observant TBN members, yes, the pivoting bracket on the center link is backwards. That pic was taken right after I bought the unit...

Those ingenious little guys in India have it figured out. If my F150 was a straight drive, I could amaze my friends with that trick lol!! How to start a truck in West Bengal India - YouTube

If you would, then it's for sale on CL!! How much weight can three 2x10's stacked onto each other hold at the end of the leverage point? I wouldn't want to try and find out. :confused2:

Sorry for taking so long to reply, kind of dropped this for a week or so. Long story, but last year I bought a used KK II rototiller. The previous owner had cut the pto shaft pretty short, for the 8N he was using it on. Young kid, I don't think he really knew what he was doing. Well, on my...

Bought a new to me pressure washer with a B&S 8.75hp engine, didn't get the instruction manual. What type of engine oil do these engines normally require? 10W-30 or 10W-40? I am in SC, never gets real cold here, but I won't be using it during the winter anyway. Thanks.

Another tragic accident involving moving & lifting a heavy object with a tractor. So unfortunate for this man, and his family. This reminds of another accident that I remember seeing on tv many, many years ago. A retired doctor up in Ohio or Pa (don't remember which for sure) was moving a round...

I loosened the nut thinking that it would let the yoke slide off, but then realized it's not "split" so it can clamp down on the PTO shaft. Duhhhh. Does that "threaded pin" sit in a groove on the PTO shaft? If so, then that pin has to be pushed or pressed out from the other side, right? There is...

I saw it on CL from a dealer in a nearby town. I don't know what brand of PHD it is, the ad didn't say. I've not seen one that had the 4 little "blades" like this one does, all the ones I've seen had the spiral flights that cover about 2/3rds of the auger. It just seems like those blades could...

Here's the removable chain bucket I built for my 790. I have a thread on here somewhere that shows how it was done.

I was surfing CL (like I always am) and came across this interesting log arch for sale. The story from the seller was that it belonged to his F-i-L, who used to run a sawmill. The log arch is home made, and HUGE, but it looks to have been very well thought out and very well constructed. He only...

Took this picture yesterday after doing some hiking. It's an old metal barn/shed used as a shop to maintain this fleet of JD's. The building is right beside an access point on a public hiking trail, my little pup pup and I walked a couple miles of the trail for some exercise and to enjoy the...

Thought I would mention there is a Kioti KL1470 loader with a 6ft bucket available here in SC for $1600. It's the frame, bucket, and hoses. Don't think the joystick valving is included. If you have an interest, send me a PM and I will get you hooked up with the seller. I have no involvement...
