A neighbor a few miles down the road has a Farmall C for sale. Not a super, just a C. He's asking $1400. Looks ok. Was repainted a few years back and showing a bit of that Farmall "fade" but not too bad looking. Straight C so no fast hitch or fenders. Seems to run decent, gears seem ok as...

I have a drip irrigation system that I run from a 3/4 garden hose down to my field. I run about 13-15 125' rows of drip tape. 6 of those rows are blackberry rows. The rest are garden rows. Usually in late fall I stop using it and pack it up for the winter not to bring it out again until late...

I found out, this weekend, that I left a couple of the plastic gas cans on my property, filled with diesel. They had the caps on and were under a tarp but I am concerned for 2 reasons. 1. The diesel is probably somewhere between 6-8 months old 2. Could it be contaminated with water in those...

Nearing restoration on an early 90's JD 430 and 316. I'm really against putting the old and worn but original Softracs back on but I'm having trouble finding anything that remotely resembles the factory original tires. Has anyone had any luck finding anyone who still sells the original looking...

Many moons ago we would/could pull a straight drive tractor/car and it would fire up. Granted these were gas best I remember. Made me wonder if its possible to pull off a more modern tractor? I did try to pull start my kioti last Sept or so and it didn't/wouldn't crank. I ended up finding...

I drive my stick shift samurai at least weekly if not more. I was at the hardware store and a young guy asked me if it’s hard to drive? I said no… I learned to drive with a stick. Another skill set fading with time. How many TBN members own/drive manual transmission vehicle(s) in 2025?

Hey LS owners!!! Is there any correlation with an LS XR4046 running HOT when it goes through the regen process? Seems that mine pegs the temp guage when it goes to regen. It also goes into limp mode when it does this. I've changed thermostat and the sensor on the housing also. Any ideas would...

Does anyone know if Summit tractor is still in business? I looked on-line, but cannot locate a service dealer....anywhere in the US. At least within 500 miles of me. I have been kicking around the idea of maybe buying another sub-compact, but the only place I can find that even has one in...

I needed a few parts for my finish mower. I started looking for the online parts list and couldn’t find it anymore. Buy Smart is (or was) the importer. They were only 5 miles from me. I called and the voice mail box was full. When I rode over to the warehouse there was nothing there except a...

Maybe some of you remember a story I posted five years ago about a young girl in our community being attacked by a stray dog in her house. She came within a millimeter or two of being killed by the dog's bite. Well five years later she is still having problems. The following is from her...

I have owned a 2002 chevy Silverado 4.3L WT single cab long bed since new, but have never used it for anything other than normal homeowner hauling. I had access to larger trucks (rollbacks, medium wreckers) for any of my heavy needs. Over the past few years I lost access to the heavier...

For almost two years my 1989(?) CaseIH 255 has worked very well around the property, used primarily for snow blowing and pushing in winter and bush hogging around 25 acres of trees in summer. When I bought it the hydraulic pressure was too low, so I adjusted it up in keeping with the...

Some folks want to know, due to difficulty in getting responses from y'all. Let us know you are still out there.

Does anyone know if Summit Tractors is still in business? I purchased a tractor with loader/backhoe in February and received it in March, but I can't get a response to my emails, phone calls, or text message regarding a missing implement that was ordered. I see a lot said on their website...

Exploring the woodlot, now that leaves are down and snakes are gone. Found this rusted steel drum with a copper fitting. Gee - I wonder what this could POSSIBLY be used for out in the middle of the Appalachian woods next to a water branch??? 🤪 so. . . What strange things have YOU found in the...
