The 1505 engine in my F-3680 (3000 hrs) running hotter than it used to with new t-stat, cap, clean rad, coolant, oil & fuel filters, etc. Not really 'over heating' as such, but concerned. Runs well with good power but wondering about injector timing/spray pattern (have no experience with...

My F-3680 has had a minor hydro leak that just became major from the swash plate / trunnion shaft left (solid) side support cover plate. Probably the O-ring gone bad. Would be simple fix, but tight access/visibility inside the frame. Has anyone dealt with this in F-series or other B/BX...

Not exactly tractor related, but some here would likely be able to help:
I am looking for a new Honda or B&S 5.5 to 6.5 Hp (160-190cc) V-shaft mower engine for a power cart project (DR PowerWagonPro clone) that must have full-range throttle ability, not just full-speed or off. Hard to...
Burned a lot of 7018 and 7014 rods some 40 yrs ago....then MIG/co2 8-12 yrs ago, but now in Australia with my old shop ancient history. Have a little tractor project at hand and Santa bringing a Cigweld/ESAB 180 inverter stickwelder.
Checking on rods, find 6011, 6013, 7018 common, but not...
Shortly after I got my F-2880 I started thinking about a front carryall to use with deck removed, but never got to it. I kick myself for missing a perfect window of opportunity a few years back to get a bare JohnnyBucket SR and toss it into a shipping container at no extra $$ to OZ...oh well...
Have not posted for a bit, but all going well with F-2880 w/60" deck on my steep Tasmania property....but ran across a clean '08 F-3680 with a 72" deck and got to wondering....More Power! Wider Cut! Who wouldn't? When we got this place, I took a gamble (with JTs helpful encouragement) on a...
I have a F-2880 front mower which I believe utilizes a trans-axle from the larger of the BX series tractors and need to confirm the wheel stud size. At first I though it was 7/16" x 20, but stud is slightly smaller than that so thinking it may be M11. Can someone confirm the size ? The...
I am looking a used 1500 hr F-series machine with the D1105 engine that has a severe vibration & shakes everything at low idle......goes nice & smooth once above about 1000+ RPM (has no tach). Is idle set too low or is this 'normal' ?? For this engine or others? I have similar size NH and a...
Has anyone made a Carry-All for out-front mower machines such as Kubota F-2000 series, NH G6000 series, Iseki SF series, etc ?? Talking about the 'backwards CUT' rather than ZTR, lawn tractor or home-size riding mowers. Something similar to the Johnny Bucket that is made for garden tractors...

Have not been on the site much lately, but wonder if anyone used the PT Flail mower on 1845 or -50? Or any flail or mulcher-mower on any PT for that matter??
Cheers, Rip
Looking at the NH Boomer 1025 but little written on it as fairly new model. What are its sibling and close-cousin models within past 5 - 8 years?
Looking at similar situation with JD 1023/26.
What would you consider the closest models from Kubota, MF, or Kioti?
I do not need new, so will...
Since the forum has been so quiet lately I thought I would announce that I am now an official Toolcat owner (but not quite operator)!
Going up Monday to visit the "new-to-me" TC and blower that should both have been delivered in Merritt, BC. The low-hour '06 Turbo/High-flow machine will be...
Other than avoid it like the pague, how do you guys deal with old fence wire hidden in the brush?
On a lot of old farm & ranch land there often are old fence lines and wire laying around that I would imagine would raise havoc with most any mulcher head.
How much time have you wasted cutting...
I just stumbled upon a really interesting item for compact track loaders or rubber tracked skid steers at skidsteersolutions.com called Trak-Bites. They are removable forged cleats that clamp on the tracks for snow/ice/mud. They have some good pictures and video clips of them in action...
To any of you guys with a good C model thinking of upgrading to a D.....
I am kind of in the market for a good C model as snow removal will be its primary duty, so the suseptibility to overheating while mowing will not be a problem, and the softer suspension of limited benifit also.
Would...
Thinking of a 30 to 50 Yd/Hr piston-type (not ball valve) self-contaned concrete pump mostly for residential foundations and slabs with perhaps some taller ICF walls or such.
Anyone care to share real-world experiences with this type equipment?

Was wondering if anyone made pallet forks for mid-sized excavators? Would use a Quick Attach mount and perhaps even have an angle function to help line up with pallet openings.
While such an attachment would not be the equal of a tellehandler or even large SS, there are times it would be handy...
Got a good closeup look and test drive of a new C model a week or so ago and must say it was all I had hoped it would be. With nearly 90 acres in BC it is getting easier to justify such a machine.
Although we currently live in Colorado, a PU w/plow and a Power Trac 1845 are serving my needs...
Looking for a couple of good stock-size Front tires and wheels for late model Ranger (25-10-12) for use as spares. Would consider full set of 4 if price was right though.
PM me if you have some to offer.
Polaris Rangers for \'05
Polaris has announced on their web site www.polarisindustries.com the new '05 model year changes.
In the Ranger line, the 4x2 is no more, having been replaced by the TM model.
The Ranger 4x4 now has Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) with 9" of travel and 11" of...
Has anyone clicked on the "New" page on the PT web site?
They have a new hydraulic tree shear for the T8 and T12 series machines. Does not look like it rotates for true tree pruning though, but should cut small trees and large bushes off flush with the ground though.
They claim that one with...
Has anyone figured out model numbers for the wheel motors used on the 1845 and the 2445 ?
I understand that the 1845 uses Char Lynn series 4000, but an actual model number would help.
As the brakes are different on the T18 series (1445 and 2245) they may even use a different brand than the...
I'm at 8000 ft in Colorado on a very steep hill that needs logs removed on a regular basis for fire mitigation (that 137,000 acre Hayman Fire in '02 was just 8 miles from us, among others). I currently have an ARGO Conquest 20 HP 8X8 AATV that will go almost anywhere on our hills, but runs out...
I currently have an ARGO Conquest 8x8 AATV and am looking at a full hydrostatic unit with more power and traction for log skidding on steep hills at 8000 ft in Colorado. I am impressed with the Hydro Traxx 6x6 with 32 or 45 HP Kubota Turbo Diesel, but was wondering if anyone on this forum had...
