Well... that still doesn't solve his problem. Thing is, he HAS a 6 foot blade, maybe even uses it from time to time on a little larger tractor and it'll cost him way less than the price of a new or even used 4 foot blade to move the pins forward so it is servicable with his current or any other...

I miss the fast hitch too!!!! 3 point is a giant pain in the butt! Anyway, I've got a king cutter blade as well. I can see how you'd have an issue with those sway chain blocks welded to the inside of the three point arms. Only way I can see to get around that is to move the pins forward on your...

Sounds to me like you're probably not loading the trailer properly. Bumper (hitch type) pull trailers will handle horribly if the weight bias is not on the tongue. In other words, more weight needs to be in front of the axle on the trailer. If not it will sway and pull terribly. To judge this...

Hmm... looks like Fiat was building tractors for quite a few different manufacturers. Suppose I shouldn't be surprised, same thing is going on today. Interesting that Fiat actually built some of the tractors and other companies (like Kubota) seemed to build (or at least assemble) tractors under...

So... How many of the parts interchange??? (exept for the engine of course, which seems to be solidly Kubota - S2600 -)

Made an interesting discovery this week. My M4500 Kubota wears identical tin to the Allis Chalmers 5040 and 5050 tractors. I mean it is exactly the same, could take it off the AC and bolt it to the 'bota, actually the whole tractor layout is very similar including the transmission speed options...

So the question is really what to do with your neighbors snow? Stumpy is probably right, the only guaranteed outcome from a winter-time "pissing match" with the neighbor is yellow snow! I have to get involved in neighbor to neighbor conflicts from time to time with work. I find that the best...

May God bless you one and all.

Yeah, if the trend continues we could be in for it. But I did buy a scraper blade for the 'bota at an auction the other day, and I'm adding extra lights to the cab next week so.... What actually worries me more is the possibility of things averaging back out next spring & summer. It's been a...

Don't ya just love owning property!

Not bad! I've toyed with the idea of doing the same thing for my M4500. The Harris cab that it has on it originally had heat and AC but they were rotted clear off of it by the time I got it.

I feel for ya. My day job is in soil and water conservation, we've fielded our share of calls this year on water management issues for rural home owners and agricultural producers alike. Make sure the contractor doesn't hook the eave spout drains into the footer tile. They can easily overload...

Well, it is official, Central Ohio has now surpassed the previous record for precipitation. Just over 53 inches and it's raining again. Normal here is around 39. About now I'm looking at two rows of round bales and really thinking that front wheel assist would've been nice on my M4500. I guess...

50 hours? Call the dealer and have the service guy clean the terminals and trouble shoot. Surely it's under warranty!

Assuming it is getting fuel, the leak-down/blow-by test will tell him a lot. Be careful while trying to hold it a TDC while doing the leak-down test.

Well... actually, the compression test tells you nothing IF the cam is out of time. You really need to know how much they took apart. If they did an in the tractor hone and re-ring then you could reasonably assume the timing is correct since they wouldn't have taken the cam out. BUT, if they...

check with the previous owner, make sure that they didn't monkey with the injector pump or camshaft timing, and that if they did they KNEW it was all timed correctly when they reassembled it. You can screw with fuel, compression and all that other stuff till the cows come home and if he's got...

Is there supposed to be a bushing in the center of that flywheel for the nose of the tranny input shaft?

Central Ohio (15 deg this Sunday morning), use 15-40 year around in the Kubota (M4500) no starting issues. I do have an old cub with a snow blower that gets Mobile 1 0w-30 in the winter.

Bale spear - snug (hate it slapping around with a bale on) Blade - snug 3 bottom plow - very slack (can't get it to plow right otherwise) boom pole, carry all - whatever it's adjusted at when i hook it up
