Might have been better to fab up a three-point frame.

What size is the black iron pipe, I assume it's for potable water. Is the driveway concrete. Consider rolls of poly pipe, use a trencher and trench parallel to the old, connect ends and abandon toe old pipe in place. Pipe is getting any cheaper! When replacing consider pressure drop. Another...

I agree pallet forks would do the job. Check with your local rental equipment supplier, they sometimes have used forks at a reasonable price. I bought an almost like new, 5500# "Arrow" set for $700.00.

I have and use that same model platform; it works good trimming trees however you need an operator who can stay focused and very familiar with FEL's. Ensure that the platform is securely attached to the forks.

I don't have but have reading good things about it Seems like someone came up with a good idea. you will still need to load shed. GenerLink - How it works - YouTube

You're correct the blade carrier can be a real character builder, it's more awkward then hard, use plenty of heat and penetrant, most use a tapered spline output shaft. Before getting too deep in rebuilding the box compare the price of a new box with the same bolt pattern and gear ratio, you...

"Samson killed one thousand 1,000 Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. That many sales are killed every day with the same weapon."

At a minimum I suggest replacing both external snap rings, ensure the groves are free of burs, dings, etc. Be reminded that snap rings need to be properly orientated. It appears that your top link could use a Cat 1-2 bushing.

Honda Moly Paste is my go-to for these type applications. It's messy but works great.

Unless you have access to a machine shop, I'd consider having a qualified rebuild shop go through the engine, at least you'd know the cost going in, also check what a factory rebuilt would cost. Mixing parts and pieces never works out well. Rework the head as required, take a cut on the...

You could consider raising the 3-point with tiller installed, collapse the driveshaft and lay the coupling on top of the PTO shaft, the do the same in the fully lowered position. Be reminded that when operating the tiller, it be lower than when just sitting on the ground.

Before covering it with more dirt, I'd suggest shooting an elevation from where the pipe exits the crawl space to the tank inlet to see what amount of fall you have and what's available. Either the mud on top of the pipe has eroded as you stated or if tree roots maybe raising the pipe. The...

If it were me, I'd pull the torque tube back into place with pipe clamps and tack weld to ensure correct positioning, then remove the bucket and the FEL, hoses, cylinders, etc. to allow for ease of welding. I'd also consider making 4 horseshoe shaped gusset plates (two for each side) to get more...

I don't want to retire, maybe back off a little. I've got 55 years with the same company. I get older but what I do doesn't. Be like a muffler, either rust out or burn out.

I believe the measurement they refer to is the free travel before the clutch begins to disengage. The pedel should go almost to the floorboard. As Russell King says adjust, first then lubricate pivot points, look for obstructions that might impede linkage travel. If just purchased and with those...

I prefer Permatex #3

I agree with chim a land leveler might be your best bet. I'd suggest setting grade stakes to your desired elevations on 20-foot centers and work the soil to those points. A power rake on a tracked skid steer, if available in your area would do a great job.

Chase both the bolt and hub threads with a correct size thread restorer, taps are for cutting threads.

Not sure if you have an electric solenoid or a manual shut down, either way confirm that it's allowing fuel through.

I would use a 2-4" long piece of 8" sch 40 pipe, weld on two pieces of box iron to your vertical uprights. Cut the box iron long and weld them to one end of the pipe Attach the mower and place it in the normal cutting position, center the pipe around the shaft and weld the box iron to the face...
