2023 Honda Ridgeline since I retired does everything I need tows 5000 pounds heaviest I tow is my Polaris UTV easy to park roomy inside back seats easily fold up for more room in the back for tools and whatnot. Has a trunk under the bed with a lot of room, dual functioning tailgate makes bed...

I would think if you only blocked a few smaller areas of the ridge vent it not be enough to be noticeable and no side effects you would want to be sure the fasteners are not loose though.

Good point, basically any pivot points in the shift lever wear over time so there will be several wear points. On my tractor the shift lever moved forewared and back plus side to side there was noticeable wear in those pins also contributing to the sloppyness of the shifter.

Wonder if the ball on the end of the shift lever is worn looks like its replaceable. On my International I had to build up the end of the shift lever with weld as there was not a replaceable tip.

If you took out one door could you mount the existing other door on the inside of the wall keeping more snow and water away. Then still bury styrofoam underneath where the bottom of the door is when closed.

I bought a Case DX 40 in 2008 same tractor just red it has the 2 range hydro with the high low button on the fender and loader lever. Works very well for snowplowing with a blade on the front mostly plow in high range low. It has been trouble free I did add a Curtus cab with heat but do not have...

With the mice nests and all not sure what could be going on for sure but my brother bought a new 3350 when they first came out was nothing but problems. He had less than 100 hours on it and the last time the dealer took it back for not starting he said he needed a new engine. Kubota would...

When you say running all the time does that mean with the pto lever in the off position? If so there should be an adjustment you can do to tighten up the pto brake my 350 has a cover on the pto housing with 2 adjustment screws under it for this purpose the owners manual lists the procedure if...

Just an update I took a shot and welded up the tip and shaped it to what I thought would be close looking at a picture of a used one. It took some fitting and grinding several times it now goes into and out of gear without getting out of the shift rails but 4th and 5th seem a bit hard will see...

I have a shift lever issue with my new to me 350 utility when I shift the tractor the lever has extra play once in gear and I have to play with the lever to get it back out of gear at times. Once the lever is in the proper place it goes in and out of gear easily. The pin in the lever seems to...

Thank you I was thinking the same but wanted to be sure.

I believe Farmall was part of International Harvestor they rotated the rear axle forward and shortened the front spindles on the Farmall cub to get the lower clearance to make the loboy.

I have a friend who has a loboy tractor the serial number puts it in as a 1960 model. When I search this tractor I can't find one with a seat like this one has wondering if anyone has seen one like this was it an option or maybe added later or am I missing something in my search?

I looked at what I believe is a 1960 Lowboy it started and ran very well when I drove it and throttled up while moving it smoked you could even smell it but it ran very smooth and started immediately, The guy who owns it said you seldom need to choke it to start it he has had it only a few years...

Like learning about the old Farmall iron from you those brochures you collected are fantastic I grew up with Farmall and International am getting ready to retire and the tractor bug is getting stronger wish I would have looked for and saved that stuff when I was younger. Thank you for the videos...

Thanks for posting I like learning about the older models, really a fan of the fast hitch much easier in my opinion to hook up than even today's 3 point hitch.

Any noise when the pto is engaged? We had a 350 international that did that turned out it took out the splines in the clutch that ran the pto but it made a rattling noise when the pto was engaged had to split the tractor but wasn't too bad of a job.

I never did get any rear remotes couldn't get over the price for how often I would use them.

I always read the vapor barrier should be on the warm side of the wall but that seems to be a grey area as when people reside their homes they add foam insulation to the exterior seems not to cause a problem.

Thanks for posting I am finding the old Farmall iron more and more interesting really like seeing them and learning all the features as they progressed over the years.

Cab is temporary sealed until spring so at least I still have heat thanks.

Thank you Sportsman for this information I was considering a glass place about an hour away hadn't talked to them yet I think I will try Glass To Go I was thinking of cutting a wood template and mounting the hardware to see if it all worked and taking it to a glass place for a pattern. Sounds...

They are built heavy, look out it can be addicting the next thing you know you will own 2 or 3 of them the hunt for parts and wrenching are what makes it so much fun.

I have unfortunately havn't found anything wish there was a similar utv flip out windshield close to the size I need. Thanks for posting.

It is flat with no frame just hinges at the top and 2 latches on the bottom a weather stripping all around it. Thinking maybe make a metal cutout frame and smaller glass.

From past articles I've read R4 was the winner for weight carrying ability not sure how they compare to R14 I agree the larger lugs on R1 give the best traction.

From what I have read you are correct no way to drill holes after glass is hardened. I will probably be waiting till spring to get it repaired as need the tractor for snow removal right now plowing two yards the cab also needs straightening before glass can go in. Thinking bodyshop will have to...

I am hoping to replace with glass as it will not scratch too easily especially with the windshield wiper. Do you think the plexiglass or lexon will support the wiper motor long term it may end up being the only option but I agree a good glass place should be able to do something even if I had to...

I did manage to seal up the hole with some sheet roll plastic and some 18 inch tool hanging magnets from Harbor Freight so able to keep the heat in.

I had an unfortunate occurance the other day with my cab after a snowy ice storm ended up shattering the windshield on my Curtis cab. Problem is the Curtis company discontinued support for glass and cab parts as my tractor is no longer produced. I did see a post where a person had a windshield...

I found it on Marketplace in the condition it's in needed to replace the throwout bearing. I was amazed how heavy it is was built.

Picked up an old Cub 72 this summer after plowing snow thought I would get it out and run it a bit.

It sounds like the tractor is new to you is the sandy sludge in the overflow tube stop leak that the previous owner put in trying to remedy the same problem?

I agree not sure how to finish an area like that but the j channel slanted like that directs the water behind the corner trim which also looks like it curves under further cupping the water in. Another step flashing as mentioned would help. Maybe trim the corner trim on the shingle side and add...

Reminds me of the guy retiring a millionair said he owed it all to his wife. So they asked what he was before he became a millionair he said a billionair.

I haven't adjusted a lot of valves that is the first time I've seen the center being the lock thanks for sharing and glad OP figured out the problem kudos to his son.

I believe the allen screw is the adjustment and the nut locks it in place back the nut off and turn the screw when clearance is correct hold the screw with the allen wrench and tighten the nut.

I thought I once read the Deutz tractors had fully locking front and rear differential not sure but if so I think it would be a nice feature.

I had great success with a rock rake behind the tractor after rough leveling with a box blade. It's basically an auger with teeth on it, it pushes the rocks and debries if you have any to the side and fills in the low spots with soil. I then spread the seed and rolled it with a cultipacker to...

I had board and batton on my garage also I just tore the battons off filled in between the boards horizontally every two feet from the bottom of wall with short pieces of 1X4 and put ribbed steel panels on turned out very good. Easy to apply as you order the steel cut to length I predrilled the...

I havn't read through all the thread but the Last Kingdom is one my wife and I really enjoyed on netflix starts a bit slow but after a few episodes got us hooked. Also Sons of Anarchy about a motorcycle gang was pretty good. Like mentioned before Breaking Bad was very addicting. Glad spring is...

I wouldn't rule out simple cheap things like are battery terminals clean and tight also any grounds what is battery voltage when issue occurs is it charging properly. If you have a spare battery or can borrow a known good one might be worth a try. Critters havn't gotten to any wiring by chance...

Good discussion going on never knew aluminum was so prone to cracking I guess there pros and cons to everything. I ended up buying a Floe Cargomax trailer mainly because even though the frame is aluminum I wanted to be able to easily move it around by hand. It is a 13 foot long trailer with a...

Unless they have changed the 3350 avoid them entirely do a search lots of problems my brother had one it was a nightmare luckily he had a good dealer took it back and gave him a 2650 that has been a good tractor for him.

Nice looking rig, the Aluma brand seem to be a quality brand that hold their value in the used market also, Do you have heavy duty ramps for the jeep are they self storing. How do you like the aluminum deck is it slippery at all?

Looking for a trailer to haul a 3 seat Polaris Ranger thinking because it will sit outside I would be wanting an aluminum frame which would also be lighter for both towing and moving around the yard. Thinking single axle without brakes not too overpriced but durable anyone using anything like...

From the looks of the way you have the original floor blocked up I would think you could work some 6x6 or so skids underneath and cut a few holes in the floor above the skids and lag some angle iron brackets from the joists to the skids. I would install some cross bracing inside remove the...

I was confused when we were shopping as they said rate was not guaranteed and is seemed like they could drop you if they wanted was over 4000 per year for me i was in my late 50's at the time.

You are right about simple job blowingup on you son needed patio door replaced when we got into it turned subfloor was rotting out he had floor trusses underneath the ends of them were starting to rot and we had to replace the rim joist in that area. Turned out good in the end but for someone...

My wife loves your dog thanks for posting.

What are you feeding? Try putting her on a raw diet no grains and not all the preservatives added. We are also finding dogs with alergies to things like chicken for example. Search raw feeding online a lot less mess in the yard and it breaks down quicker better for teeth, ears and coat you feed...

Not sure if it is available or not, does he bag often ir just when the clippings are heavy? The clippings actually ad nutrients back to the lawn if bagger is not an option maybe a lawn sweeper would do.

I was wondering if the surging is caused by an air leak somewhere in the hydraulic system had a tractor that did that and eventually found a small crack in one of the steel hydraulic lines running from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic oil resivoir. It was not easy to find but it would suck...

Sorry to hear about your problem belts are not cheap. I have an LX 277 which sounds similar to yours it has a 48 inch deck and over 600 hours never shredded a belt but have replaced once from cracking. A little more info may be helpful like had you removed the deck prior to the first belt...

I have the case DX 40 same year as yours I believe it to be the same frame size as yours you have a 3 cylinder engine mine is a four cylinder 40 horse engine. I really like the loader and visability over the hood when using the loader. It has been trouble free and still looks new you will like...

My brother had one was back to the dealer 3 or 4 times the last time it would not start. Dealer gave him the option of a new engine as the one in it was shot or a new 2650 with no emissions on it a seven year warranty either way the 3350 had less than 100 hours on it. The dealer recommended him...

We live in a rural area and about a mile away is a park that has three ball fields and a small golf coarse. The park is run by the local Lions club we enjoy walking over to it with our Labrador retriever next to it is an old railroad right of way which we walk also. The golf coarse used to be a...

Built a porch/3 season room on to house my wife would like the porch exterior to be sided with cedar shingles for siding. The rest of the house is vinyl siding what do you think of the idea and how much maintenance do you think it will be?

I always hated filling the gas tank on our Ferris mower as in order to get it to the full mark you had to fill slowly once it got up to the bottom of the filler neck which extended down into the tank a bit. Always spilled fuel as it reached the bottom of the filler neck and no way for air to...

I want to change the antifreeze in my DX 40. I put a Curtis cab with a heater on it. The heater is higher than the radiator. The question is am I going to have trouble with air in the system if the heater core is drained? I'm thinking about clamping the line off going to the heater...

Does anyone know if they made front fenders for the DX 40? If so where could I get some?

This has been on craigslist for a while seems like a good price for a unused loader if someone could use it. new holland 270tL loader attachment

I recently acquired a 38 inch precision lawn sweeper that is weathered but other wise in pretty good shape. The only problem is one of the wheels lock up instead of turning the brush. I found a manual online, it turns out there is a small part callea a pawl that is broken inside the wheel...

I have zero experience with 3 point snow blowers, I found a 7 foot Arps twin auger blower looks to be in good condition owner says it works good. Will my tractor handle it or should I keep using my snow pusher? I thought if I ever pave the driveway a blower would be a lot friendlier to the...

I want to add a rear remote hydraulic valve to my 2008 Case DX40, does anyone know what the Case part number would be? I have been trying to search but not much luck I think there is a different part number for each one you add. I currently have none on my tractor.

My lawnmower has a fs691v Kawasaki engine, I picked up a spare filter from the dealer whhe I bought the mower. The mower had a Kawasaki filter. The dealer gave me a Rotary 19-6929 filter. I didn't realize it until I was changing the oil tonight. I put it on and it fits but just like to double...

I want to add an enclosed lean-to to my garage with a concrete floor. It is right next to a steep bank, so I am considering putting down several inches of pea gravel under the slab. My thinking is any water that gets under the slab can drain out the side of the bank to prevent heaving. Would...

Dealer has one, brand new with a Kohler pro 25 hp engine for $4400 would this be a good zero turn for the money? I think it has the 3400 transmissions but not sure. Are all the zero turn transmissions made by the same company? Anyone have one of these mowers, it looks like a lot for the money...

Any one have one of the new Kommander series zero turns from Kubota? How are they performing? The warranty looks pretty good, I wonder how well they cut. My wife is doing most of the mowing now and would like something that steers easier than our John Deere all wheel steer it has been a good...

When looking at zero turn mowers they talk about the transmissions in numbers like 2800, 3100 or 3200. My question is do all the manufacturers use transmissions built by the same company, which I would doubt but not sure, or does the number indicate a size or build standard or something else...

This fall I was plug aerating my lawn, we had a dry summer so the ground was a bit hard even though it had just rained. I had to load down the aerator with some pretty good weight to get the aerator to cut in. My lawn is one and a half acres, all went well for about an hour then the lawn...

I found a new Curtis cab for my DX 40, dealer has had it for almost three years now. It comes with heater for $2500.00, they no longer make my tractor or the Curtis cab to fit it. Should I jump on this deal or pass, are people happy with their Curtis cabs? I'm really leaning toward getting...

Got a subscription offer in the mail, is it worth getting? Never saw it before, says it's been around since 1977. Thanks

Is it a problem mowing existing lawn every six to eight weeks with a rear finish mower? If the grass is six to eight inches tall will it plug easily? I would rather have a finish mower than a brush hog, just think I would get more use out of it, but not sure how it works on taller grass. I...

For sale on Craigs List in Waupaca Wisconsin, comes with a TL250 loader. Ad says new for $19595.00. I thought it sounded like a good price, just wanted to pass it on. Maybe others are finding better deals, I don't know. The dealer is Swederski Implement.

Does anyone know anything about older Hansen snowblowers? I found a 6 1/2 footer for $650, would like to try on my DX40. The ad says it works good, never used a snowblower before. It is a three point rear blower.

When we were building our house we hadn't planned on any other buildings so put on a three car garage right away. But as the house was being built one of my co-workers told me his daughter had a garage she didn't want so we ended up moving it to our new location. It sure came in handy right...

Has anyone gotten a quote on a CT335 with a cab? Wondering what they are selling for.

My brother has a F525 with 360 hours on it. He says it smokes when it runs but if he puts Marvel Mystery oil in the gas the smoking stops. What could be going on? He says the mower runs just fine.

Does anyone know what is the smallest tractor Bobcat offers with a cab and what is the height of the cab? Thanks

Looked at a 1999 4100 4x4 with 771 hours on it with a front snow blower and a 60 inch mid mount mower deck. It starts right up has a hydro tranny that worked fine, the seat is in rough shape and the hood is dull from mowing under low branches. Also the fenders are rusty from blowing the salty...

Shopper came out today with front page ad for a 32 HP Cub Cadet tractor with 3 speed hydro four wheel drive and free loader for $14,999. I thought it sounded like a pretty good deal. What are people paying for these things? When I was looking a few years back I think they wanted around...

The pitman arm broke on my sickle mower, it sat outside before I got it. When I got it I soaked it with drain oil, got a few years out of it. Was wondering if I could make one out of steel instead, I have no where to store the mower except outside so a metal one would last as long as the...

I have a lx 277 AWS with a 48c mower deck, the pulley went out on the center spindle so I ordered a complete spindle assembly off E-Bay. I need to remove the pulley to mount spindle on deck, how tight do I have to torque the nut that holds the pulley on?

I was working with my Case DX 40 last night plowing snow. I went down a steep hill into the woods, on the way out I was climbing the hill to the road. She started spinning so I pushed the differential lock. The lock seems to be set a little too far back so when I pushed it I inadvertently...

I was having trouble finding 10 w 30 oil for my Case DX 40. I stopped at Fleet Farm today and found Mystic 10 w 30 the only brand besides Fleet Guard they had. Will this be a good oil for my tractor? It was a little over $18.00 for two gallons. It is a semi synthetic oil that exceeds API CJ-4.

Went out to work on the garage, putting in a metal ceiling, ended up washing and waxing the tractor and riding lawn mower. I will try to post some pictures later.

It is a five by eight steel box for a bed with a fold down tailgate. Don't know the make, looks in real good shape, it is a tandem axle. The axles look to be centered in the middle of the bed. No brakes on trailer, has lights. My question is how will it pull behind a half ton pickup, will it...

I'm considering a cab for my Case DX40, was wondering what people are paying, and how satisfied they are with them. I looked at the Curtis website but they don't show interior or explain how to mount the cab. Would there be a lot of drilling involved? Are they hard to remove for the summer if...

Just used my Ford 501 sickle mower behind my new DX40 for the first time. I had one heck of a time sliding the shaft onto the tractor. I finally tapped it on with a hammer but could not get it on all the way. I mowed ditches without it being on all the way, stopped and checked it once in a...

I went over to the neighbors today to see if I could borrow his six foot tiller, I work for him in the fall, so figured no problem, which it wasn't. Except his tiller was hooked up to his Agco ST41 tractor. So he says just take tractor and all, that way you won't have to unhook the tiller...

There is a new take off loader for a boomer tractor advertised on Craigs list for $2550 it is in Bloomer Wisconsin if anyone is looking.

Does Bobcat make a cab tractor in the 30 to 40 HP? If so does anyone know the height to the top of the cab and also prices? Thinking about a cab tractor I have an eight foot door. Thanks.

There is a Fimco three point sprayer advertised locally for $425.00. It is a model LG 60 with a 12 foot folding boom with a pto driven pump, the guy says it is 2 years old. I have no experience at all with sprayers other than the hand held pump type, I have about 1 and a half acres of lawn I...

Just wondering if anyone has had any major fading with the plastic body parts on any of the Case compacts. Seems like all the used ones I've seen are still a nice bright red. Seems to me I've seen some fading in the New Holland blue on some compacts, don't know what year tractor though. Don't...

I see Deutz has differential lock on both axles on their smaller tractors, not sure on the larger ones. Sounds like a nice feature, do any of the other compact lines offer this? How are the Deutz compacts? Anybody own one? JJ

If you get stuck in mud with a hydro is it harder to get out than with a gear shift? It seems to me that it would be harder to rock the tractor in order to get momentum working for you, especially when you let off the pedal it is like putting on the brakes. I have a hydro, just haven't had a...

Got it on Thursday afternoon. My wife took a few pictures before it got dirty, she is so proud of it, she put it on her screen saver at work. I ordered a rear blade from a different dealer. Just so happened he delivered it the same evening the tractor arrived. The blade is a bush hog...

Dealer called today, they will be delivering the tractor tomorrow. I won't be home when it arrives, but he will meet me at four pm to go over all details. I will try to get some pictures before it gets too dirty. Looks like a vacation day is in order for Friday. Glad I got a good nights sleep...

Looking at a Bush Hog 70-07 rear blade for my tractor. It is a 7 foot blade with tilt and angle. Does anyone own one? If so how do you like it? I'm getting a Case DX 40 four wheel drive tractor. For those not familiar that is a 40 engine horse tractor. Is this a good blade for general...

How smooth are the hydro's on these tractors? I test drove a New Holland 45 horse, seemed to whine kind of noisily and a bit jerky. Are they better when they get some hours on? To get the features I like I guess I will have to get a hydro.

Stopped at a John Deere dealer today. They were closed but they had a 2003 DX 45 Case with grille guard and front end loader It had 600 plus hours ag tires with some wear more noticeably on the front. The control knobs looked weathered like it sat outside a fair amount, with no visible oil...

I am looking at the 2310 the question is I haven't seen one in a shuttle shift. The hydro comes with telescopic links, tilt and telescoping wheel and swivel seat. I looked at Case and the shuttle shift does not include these options you can get the adjustable links but not the seat or the...

Thanks for the responses. The Agco dealer here is having a hard time getting any of the Agco tractors in because of no company stock. I stopped in 3 or four months ago, he said he had some on order. Stopped again on August 15 still no tractors. He showed me paperwork that they should have...

Rope1 How many hours do you have on it now? Any problems with it? I plan on putting a blade on front to plow snow, do you think it has enough power for deep snow? Should the tires be filled or is traction good without? I'd sooner not fill tires if I can get by without.

I have been looking at the Agco st34 for a few years now, I really like the power shuttle transmission. I know Massey makes a similar tractor. A dealer told me it is getting hard to get the st's. Is this true? If it is is it the same way with Massey? I haven't talked to my local dealer...
