Anyone ever use steam to kill/prevent weeds? Any ideas of how to make or use a boiler to generate enough steam to go up and down rows of apple trees to kill weeds and grass? I was thinking of using something like a household steam boiler, fueling it with propane, pulling it or pushing it with...

I used my tractor last Saturday to run a compressor off the PTO for 8 hours. The compressor was for running pneumatic pruners. Sunday morning, wouldn't start. Started off of ether, so I have narrowed it down to glow plugs not working. I metered the the plugs, no voltage. The 4 pin relay up...

Does anyone know what brand or kind of seat this is? I would like to reupholster it and get armrests for it. Any thoughts on a brand?

Looking at a Ransomes AR250 with a Kubota diesel. My concern is the 10,000 hours on it. Are these machines good for time after that?

Does anyone know how narrow one could make the rear wheels on a row crop JD60? I am hoping to get it onto a trailer with a fender width of 76".

I am looking at a Howard Price 1260 mower, diesel engine (hoping it is a Yanmar), any thoughts on a unit like this? I know nothing about it, trying to get the hours off of the unit, seems to be in good shape, it is just about the right size for my orchard. I know parts are NOT going to be off...

Sorry if this is not in the right forum, I just don’t know where to put it. I recently bought a 2003 Isuzu NPR crew cab to use for hauling my equipment. 4HE1-XS engine. Decent shape, did run, but has issues. My problem right now is as follows. I drove it home, died. Wouldn’t restart. Used...

I have an old Case DH4B trencher/excavator combo. Finally got the excavator up and running with the controls in the two joystick SAE configuration. When I run it, the boom drops FAST. Barely move the stick and she slams down. The left and right control is not quite as bad, but it is too...

Anyone have any thoughts on the ability of a 2003 Isuzu NPR 4.8L diesel? I would use it from time to time to haul a skid steer trailer and for the most part, use it to dump loads of soil/wood chips in an orchard. Not looking to haul giant loads, but I just want something a little more...

I have a Case DH4B, just got the thing up and running where all the features work except the backfill blade. There are 3 pumps, one runs the forward and reverse hydrostatic transmission, a small one runs the steering and the backfill blade and the third one runs the trencher chain. There are...

I had this posted in Lawn and Garden and I received zero responses, so I am trying this forum to see if I get any traction. Looking to put a decent power washer pump on an all stainless steel, wash down 1 HP motor. It is a 56C frame, 1750 RPM 5/8" shaft, Sterling Electric motor. Very well made...

A gentleman not far from my place built a very well made lean-to/pavilion and used it for equipment service. He has passed away and the family wants the property cleaned up, the building included. I can have it for nothing, just get it out. It needs a roof, but it is well made. It is 44ft...

Looking to put a decent power washer pump on an all stainless steel, wash down 1 HP motor. It is a 56C frame, 1750 RPM 5/8" shaft, Sterling Electric motor. Very well made, I don't want to spend $400 on a pump. I have seen, in the past, similar motors with small pumps similar to those you see...

I just acquired an older DH4B, Mitsubishi diesel, runs fantastic, backhoe works, but the trenching chain does not. If I pull the lever to move the chain forward or backwards, it will move JUST SLIGHTLY. Maybe one tooth, then stop. You can hear the hydraulic pump working, but nothing is...

Deutz Fahr Agroplus 100S Transmission Won't Shift, I don't own the tractor, but I am interested in buying it. It is an orchard unit with a front PTO. Does anyone have any experience with these units? Are they known for having transmission issues? The current owner says that it is the ECU...

I bought a few years ago a 4510, been great to me, but I've never had the left arm balls that go inside the quick attach ends. They are listed on a couple sites, but the prices are NUTS. Bills tractor has them for $122.43 each. They cannot be that unique to warrant $250 for a pair. Has...

Bought a well used NH269 baler, knots great, but the bales are not the best shape. I had an old IH 47 that would make nice shaped bales. Any thoughts on simple tune up items?

Ok, I have a point well 192 feet down and right now it comes out of the ground with a 1" pipe, makes a 90 degree turn and flows right into a pressure tank. During the warmer months of SE Wisconsin, there is no problem using the well. When it gets quite cold, the well obviously freezes...

I have an old hydraulic wagon hoist that won't/doesn't open all the way. The current hydraulic cylinder has about 6.125" of rod sticking out of the cylinder at all times and when the hoist is raised, it never opens to a full 180 degrees. It gets to around 120.......I have a Midwest hoist on...

I have an old (1900-1910) hydraulic cider press. The ram comes up through the floor and presses upwards on a large frame. We pressed about 1000 lbs of apples on Saturday and I could not get the ram to hold under real pressure. It would easily push up with the pump running and then push back...

John Deere 800 Swather Sickle Sections, can't find a cross reference for the part number I have on the machine. H-21530 on the sections and E-48093 rock guards. I can find the guards no problem, but the sections, not so much. I don't have to have John Deere sections, but I would like American...

I got my cider press up and running, controls are good, etc. The cylinder is rebuilt with a new gland. The problem I have is that the cylinder is single acting and the return goes back through the same hose as the pressure, therefore it is VERY slow to return and needs help to return to its...

Let me first say that the press we are talking about is about 110-120 years old. It is a single acting cylinder vertically mounted, around 10" in diameter. It resides in a hole in the concrete and raises up to press the apples into cider, then gravity down to return. There is a 3/4 NPT port...

I just bought an old hydraulic bin tipper for my cider operation. The wiring is bad at best and the controls are “creative”. There is a 115 motor powering a small hydraulic pump. The pump has a release solenoid to lower the pressure. Electric controls are two household toggles and some BX...

I built a front 3 point hitch for my Mahindra 4510 and I added a 540 PTO powered from the crankshaft snout. I have been working on this project for quite a while. I built the 3 point hitch, the implement and the PTO components (not the gearbox itself). I feel that I have been looking at the...

Anyone have any experience with any of these PTO boxes? It probably is wishful thinking, but I was wondering if they would hold up to 40HP.

Looking for a front PTO that will run a finish mower. I have an output shaft on my crankshaft that is 18 spline - 1" (25mm) and a straight shot to the middle of my current 3 point hitch. I see that Zuidberg has them, but they won't sell you a box unless you bought the 3 point from them...

I have a Mahindra 4510 that has 9.6GPM from the pump and 4.3GPM for the power steering. I was wondering if I could tap into the pressure line that feeds the 3 rear remotes, add a 'T' fitting and a hydraulic solenoid that I can turn on and off to power a front mount PTO motor. 1) Do I have...

I need to add a front PTO. I do NOT want to use a rear gearbox with an under-the-tractor driveshaft. I have a Mahindra 4510 with a front crankshaft splined shaft, 25mm (1") 18 splines. I want to use that output shaft, which is lined up dead center with my front weight plate. I can drill a hole...

Just installed a professionally rebuilt lift cylinder on the left side. Now, once in a while the boom will rise VERY slowly and if you let go of the handle the boom will drop right away. It will do this over and over until you move the skid steer or shake the bucket. Then, it will work fine for...

I have an early 80's Gehl 4500 skid steer, 4 cylinder Ford gasoline. I would like to add a Sabre Samurai Sickle mower attachment to the front bucket. SABRE SAMURAI CUTTER | Cutthat.com - Home Of Sabre Samurai & Sabre Divider I have no remotes on the skid steer and I have no idea where to start...

I have an old, but solid, 200 gallon fiberglass sprayer tank that I used over the years to spray the hay fields. We don't do hay as much anymore, so I removed the booms and I mounted a little Fimco 2 gallon per minute 12 volt sprayer pump that I salvaged off of a 25 gallon sprayer tank. I...

Ok, so I have minimal hydraulic experience, just enough to get myself in trouble and I know this is not a tractor issue. I have been restoring a 1910 hydraulic cider press built by the American Hydraulic Company. My 15 acre orchard is starting to provide me with the level of apples I would want...
