Call this salvage yard in California and see if they have any wheels for your tractor.

I don’t think you need to remove the pump to use a rear PTO driven implement. Your picture shows that a PTO shaft exits the pump and you have an implement shaft already attached to the tractor. But it is easily removed if you want it removed. But the loader would be removed at the same time...

I think you can take the top cover off and get the linkages back in place. You should probably get a Work Shop Manual (WSM) to walk you through the steps to reinstall it since you will need to align the gear shifters and the PTO shifter at the same time. Look here for the WSM...

Anything is possible, it just looks like a split hose to me…and he doesn’t show any particular problems in that picture that I can spot. So from a few thousand miles away I took a hard swing and may have missed!

Where and what is he supposed to test? I think it is probably the charge pressure but where does he tap into that system? I assume that is covered in the WSM but I am curious and don’t have the WSM to review.

Something is wrong in his picture… There is a radiator overflow hose (marked in yellow) that connects to the overflow reservoir (marked in green). There appears to be a hose (marked in red) from the radiator to the overflow reservoir but I am assuming that it is in two pieces and split badly...

Jump the starter solenoid directly from the battery to test the starter. If tsarter cranks engine, then you have a safety switch or wiring problem. If no crank, then starter, solenoid or battery problem. Just be careful since you are bypassing all safety controls on the tractor. Do not have...

Heck he’s got a tractor so he might as well go with one of the pull behind agriculture models!

Look at the fuel flow at the injector pump to see if it has good fuel flow or just a dribble. If you have some type of fuel lift pump you may need to see if it is pumping fuel correctly. If electric pump just turn key to run, if mechanical crank engine and fuel should come out in spurts. You...

I suggest you read the label on your unknown valve and look up the model number. Then you will know exactly what you have. There is also a hydraulic schematic on it that shows its operation but I can’t see it clearly and probably wouldn’t understand it anyway! Then I also suggest that you use...

Sounds like a PTO mounted pump or some strange hydraulic device like a hydraulic motor driven PTO shaft. Look at internet pictures of both and you can probably figure that out.

On a sidewalk or driveway you have little to worry about since they are basically fire proof. Of course you can start a fire with them but do it after a rain is perfect time. I just used a water hose to wet down a ring around where I was burning in the field. I usually had someone else...

And I forgot to mention clothing while using these… DO NOT wear synthetic clothing while burning the weeds. The tip gets hot and will melt the legs of your pants when you are moving it around. Also some seeds act like popcorn but will burn holes in synthetic materials. And you do have to use...

Look at true security camera systems that have a central “computer” that records the cameras. Like at a convenience store.

I have used a Weed Dragon for eliminating weeds. They work very well and don’t think that you have to char the plant. It just needs to wilt significantly to die. Get one with a valve that lets it burn at low flame then puts out higher flame when pressed, sort of like a flame thrower. If they...
