Have you figured out how much flow your tractor puts out? Mine puts out around 3 gpm which means that I would be measuring cycle time with a calendar if I used it on a log splitter. I'd want at least 10 for a 20 ton splitter and 20ish for a 35 or 37 ton splitter. Otherwise I'd go with a pto...

Disking can work on gopher mounds. They don't get 2 feet tall though.

The grease is just there to keep the mulboard from rusting; it doesn't matter what you use as long as it sticks. Also a good place to use any rattle can paint you have left over. (instead of grease)

No need to apologize. The wiring diagram you sent me was helpful in getting my charging system fixed, and will likely be more helpful once I have the time to dig into the less necessary systems and I'm interested in seeing how the snowblower install goes. I don't play favorites with brands...

Yes, the blade location needs to be under the deck. They simply won't work on top.

Have you made sure it's not just the head gasket?

Rye has a natural herbicide in it and used to be grown in for weed control back before herbicides.

Wooden bearings used to be common in farm equipment in low speed applications. When I was growing up, our '69 JD 95 combine had them in the straw walkers. The 95 was retired in the mid 90's, but they're still as tight as the day it left the factory. If replacing the wood isn't cost prohibitive...

More trouble than it's worth. This is what I think I need: http://woodexbearing.com/product/replacement-wood-bearings-for-disc-harrows-cultipackers-other-farm-equipment

So I bought an old mounted ford disk. It has wooden bearings. Some of them will probably need to be replaced at some point. I found a company called Woodex that makes replacements for some models. Does anyone know where on the disk I should look for the model #?. It's been painted JD green, so...

If there's some grass growing in there, regular mowing should give it enough of an advantage to take over. if it's 10' tall, I'm assuming it's ragweed of some sort so as mentioned 24D is cheap and should work on it if you're not averse to using herbicide on it. That should kill most broadleaves...

hour meter only has 3 digits, so it would have rolled over anyway. Tach cables are prone to break on these too.

It would be a lonely place...

Quando Omni flunkus moratati (when all else fails play dead) possum lodge motto

Let us know how it turns out if you decide to try it. I've been thinking about getting either a rototiller or a disk and have been leaning towards the disk mainly because of stuff like that. My guess is that it's going to wrap up on the shaft.

An over running clutch will allow things with a lot of momentum to keep turning after the PTO shaft stops so that they can come to a stop on their own. I'll have to defer to someone who knows these tractors better. An over running clutch will probably solve the noise that it makes, because it...

According to tractor data, if the B7500 is gear and not hydro, you don't have live PTO. If that's the case, you should be running an over running clutch. When you step on the clutch, the drive line and PTO stop together applying reverse torque to your PTO shaft, stopping the stump jumper. The...

Are you sure about the head gasket? I used to get a little white smoke out of mine when the glow plugs weren't working, but that was starting. Once it's running, the smoke should be black unless there's hardly any compression, in which case it would only be running on one cylinder. That should...

I'd probably keep a spare fuel filter on hand if it was stored with fuel in the tank. There's actually a fungus that will grow in diesel.

If you've still got the original and the coils haven't burned out, you could get it rebuilt. Mine cost ~$60 at a local alternator shop.
