I have a problem I have thus far been unable to figure out and I’m wondering if one of you can give me an idea how I can remove this bearing without causing any damage to either the bearing or shaft. I can’t tell you what it’s for, but it is an aircraft part. Problem is, I can’t get a new...

Hauled it home last summer after sitting for 30 odd years. Took it for its first drive Sunday after going through everything but the transmission. I made sure to not go overboard and clean and paint things. I want it to stay as original as possible. It does have a new manifold and...

Does anyone know who might stock parts for Berti mowers? My TA 200 flail lost a hammer yesterday and I can’t find it. It is a commercial duty machine I bought from the county a few years ago. It appears that they replaced all the hammers before I bought it so they are in pretty good shape...

I am replacing the clutch in my 36 Farmall F-20 and the clutch shaft splines are more than 50% worn away. The splines that the clutch disc rides are fine, the bad ones are the splines that a coupler slides on to connect to the trans. The yoke splines are undamaged and I suspect someone replaced...

A local guy locally is selling this bracket that appears to be for an XG series LS tractor. Tractor part?? | ksl.com If someone needs it, PM me and I can pick it up for you. It’s not my ad, but I recognized the numbers on the label.

I’m not sure what year it is, but there is a little red paint on the steering gear support, so I think that means it is 1936 or later. I haven’t found the serial number yet. It had been sitting for a least 20 years, but the guy always had intentions of fixing it up, so the exhaust was kept...

There doesn’t seem to be a spot on TBN to offer up some cargo space to fellow TBNers, so I figured this would work. My BIL and I will be leaving Ogden UT this Tuesday morning, June 11, bound for Indiana with my dually and 15k 24’ tilt deck to pick up a car and bring it back. The trailer can...

I am in the planning stages of a barn I want to build. The purpose of the building is to eventually be a hay barn for a small cattle ranch and homestead. In the shorter term, the containers will store our belongings while we build a house on the property and be a place to park our 43’ fifth...

Last year I bought a Berti flail from the city and cleaned it up and painted it to match my LS. It’s a 60 hp tractor and Berti recommend 60hp minimum. I suspect their 60 hp recommendation is due more to the weight than the power requirements. The mower works great and tractor handles it fine...

The favorite tractor thread got me thinking...What is the worst tractor? It could have been the most unreliable or just least convenient to operate. What tractor should no one ever have to endure? My dad’s first tractor was a 1935 McCormick F12 he bought about 1977. While it was a pretty good...

The machine I preordered a couple months ago arrived this week. This is a brand new model and there is zero info on the web about it. I figured I’d post up here since my thread about it on WW is gone. It arrived in perfect condition due to the excellent packaging. I had to wait until today...

I am going to plant pasture grass this fall. Field is tilled and ready. Seed supplier says soil temp needs to be below 45 degrees. My question is how and when do you measure the temperature? I have a meter with an 8”probe that tells temperature, moisture and PH. It seems to me that the soil...

It took less than 4 weeks to get everything I ordered. Order consists of the 84" TeraForce (Ansung) tiller, the EA heavy duty post hole digger with two auger bits, 78" box blade, Agrex 900 lb spreader and 96" cultipacker. Everything arrived in good shape. I think something red sat next to the...

I picked this up at an estate sale yesterday for $100. The old guy that had it passed away a few weeks ago. Talking with the daughter, he was a tinkerer and woodworker, and sounds like a guy I would have liked to have known. He had some neat antique tools. RIP. It is unknown when this drill...

Got the first 50 hours under my belt and the tractor is working great. No problems whatsoever thus far. It had its first regeneration at 48.5 hours. The first 25 or so hours was mostly idling and light loader work that never got it hot. A day of mowing with the ditch mower made it work for its...

Since my new 6168 didn't come with any feet, I made some. Apparently LS doesn't even offer them as an upgrade even though I think the Bigfoot pads you can get from a Kioti dealer would fit. Pretty simple design, but they took more time than I thought. That's how it always works around here...

I did it! I won the silent auction a local city was having on some of their old equipment. The auction had one really bad picture...so bad I barely knew what I was looking at. Did not even know the size or model number. There was just the one picture from the side, and the description "Bertie...

Tomorrow I am going to pick up my new 6168CPS with FEL and backhoe. I am renting a 25ft gooseneck trailer and making the 2.5 hour drive up to Idaho. What should I expect and/or request the dealer show me prior to loading it up? Should we go as far as taking the FEL and BH off and putting them...

Can I test drive it over my ex-wife's car?

Scored this bad boy today. The guy didn't know what it was and was asking $100. I didn't argue. It's 26" from the point to the bottom of the cross bar and it's pretty darn heavy. That is about all I know about it. It seems to be Cat 2 pins, which I will replace because they are pitted. Lower...

Best price I've been able to find is my closest dealer at $35,200. Others were from $400 more to a couple grand more. Should I be looking to beat them down more on the price? I'll be paying cash for the tractor to get the "free loader", but can I finance a backhoe separately? I'm not sure...
