John Dee of Snow Central JohnDee.com – Snow Central has passed away. He will be sorely missed.

Expensive is an understatement. That said, it can be done but.........

The copyrights belonged to Ford itself, the writers were employees who received nothing in addition to their regular pay.

It's a 4500.

Based on the data in post 1, it looks like a 4400 utility with a 13 foot backhoe.

Anyone remember the "Official Nebraska Tests"?

I'm just waiting to see how much of the 16" - 24" forecast you actually get by Sunday.

Google is your friend. You tube has some videos that may be applicable and wikipedia has some information. If you've not tried these, have a go.

They still exist up to 34 hp. I have one w/540 PTO, FWD & Loader. Sure is handy.

Widowmaker got a tractor. :eek:

Updated.

The standard backhoe for the 3400/3500 was the 10 foot model 730.poer C = power class, eg. 3000, 3100, 3400, 3500., 340 etc U = Utility 1 = Diesel 1 = 8 Speed K = PTO, probably None This is tractor only, the loadet would be a Model 340, Backhoe 730 Don't remember so much anymore, been a long...

Looking good Arly. Boundary Road used to be one of my shortcuts. Good tracking snow. I no longer remember the year, but we did hunt deer in shirtsleeves once while I still lived up there. Hip deep the next year. I continue to enjoy your pictures. Thanks.

Standard equipment of the 7600. Check the hydraulic lift controls.

The above covers it. I once taught this to dealer and sale personnel.

Yup, my buddy did at his cottage. It was a shallow well so a pistol should be adequate. He didn't have one with him so he went to the neighboring game warden. He asked what my buddy was going to do with it. Reply, shoot my well. Response, You're that mad at it? They did shoot the well...

I had one, did a nice job, even on blind rivets (on an aluminum boat).

Woods made them for Ford. The WD in the serial number is the give away.

That was made by Woods so they may be of some help.

Depending on the convenience, or lack thereof, of hitching up the 3-pt implements, you might consider a quick hitch for the SCUT. Mine is miserable and the quick hitch saved a lot of bad words. The one I got is specifically designed for a SCUT.

I have an unmarked 1/2" chain w/slip hook on one end and grab hook on the other. Just like the old logging chains when I was a kid. I'm 80 now.

I and my logger uncles have made a lot of cant hook, maul and axe handles from white ash. It is very tough and durable.

That reminds me of the standard forecast when I lived up there, "Clear and Still" which really meant that the snow was clear up to your butt and still snowing.

Once had the ground cable clamp bolt break inside the clamp. Intermittent no start.

FWIW the last wolverine found in Michigan was a few years ago in the thumb. Dead.

I had the pleasure of visiting Fiskars Village at Fiskars, Finland. The old buildings had old machinery still powered by jack shafts which were powered by a water wheel. Quite an interesting historical place.

If all of the increments of lift are at the bottom of the range, about 1/8" increments, the position control cam may have been modified. In that case replacing it would put it back to original. That was a field modification for landscapers in the early 1970s to provide precision control of box...

Hyvaa Joulua !!🎅

There is some truth to that. Mine has a keen edge, but I like it like that. I also have a number of Martiini knives, some gifts and family hand-me-downs and some that I bought at the factory store in Rovaniemi.

I have a Fiskars hatchet that is very well made and great to use. It was made in Finland and gifted to me by a visiting relative.

Those were built by County Commercial Cars in the UK based on a Ford power train. The Super 6 was a 6 cylinder and later the Super 4 was a 4 cylinder. I had the pleasure of perating a Super 6 in about 1965 which was built prior to the blue line introduced in 1964. The power trains were all B...

Heh, my extension cord is a Ryobi 1800 W generator. Just toss it in the back of the Mule and away we go. (y)

This is an older MF Industrial tractor. The Loader Model No. is MF34A, Ser No 2206000481. The data for the tractor is not known at this time, mainly because we don't know where to look. Following are two pictures which may help. TIA.

I have the following manuals which I am willing to part with. 1. Ford Operator's Manual, (SE3503) - Tractors 231, 335, 420, 515, 531, 532 & 535 2. Ford Repair Manual (SE4044) - Tractors 230A, 340A, 445, 530A, 540A & 545 I would expect the recipient to at least pay shipping costs. Anyone...

I ran across this oil today after having not seen Gas/Diesel combo oil in years. It was on sale for $1.49/Qt. at a local hardware chain.
