NIW, is that because it usually gets you out of a pickle? :D

I have a 7' rake I use to clean up rock the oil lease guys left from an old road that I want to mow for hay. The gauge wheels would work excellent for that, but then I need to rake hay that was wasted at the feeder. An added feature would be to have another ear sticking up by the turnbuckle...

I guess I'm lucky also. The perimeter drain around my house was installed in 1976. It's raining as I type and water is flowing as it should!

I would consider what is called a French Drain. Go on the uphill side, trench down about 3' deep forming a "C" around the uphill half of the property. The ditch should taper from the 3' at the high side center to grade at each end. Install a solid drain pipe with holes (like used in a lateral...

30' in the air, 70MPH wind, and two flags..... How big of flags you going to have up there? You have a boom truck available for installation and maintenance? I appreciate and respect your intentions. I do think you'd have a much more stable display at 20', and none of your friends...

skeets, when I read this I thought of myself. I've got a couple of horses my wife and I take out on trail rides once in a while. That means I have to provide shelter, hoof trimming, hay, etc. for them. When I was working in Kansas City the people in the office would pay me $5 for every feed...

Mike I have an '85 B8200 with the same loader. I rebuilt all my cylinders last year. Here's what the WSM says: 1.Drain hydraulic oil from the cylinder and secure in a vise. 2. Tap snap ring holder in the direction of the arrow (which is away from the eye end, where the pin was), insert a...

I'd look for a good used 4X4 PU with a snow plow mounted in the off season. That will take care of your road and parking area with you setting in a heated cab. That plow will clear that snow much faster then a tractor. If you already have a PU for your operation inquire about having a plow...

skeets, maybe the folks selling wood (at least in your area) are like the original poster, they know the dimensions of a cord of wood but don't know how to figure how much is in a row of wood! It should not take a MIT graduate to find an answer. It may not be an issue with honesty or...

Your statement says everyone who sell firewood is dishonest, with your "I'll guarantee..." comment! Little ridiculous, don't you think?

I've used the method of using a hack saw blade to manually cut a kerf in the bushing to allow it to reduce in diameter to be easily removed. Be patient and when you get nearly thru the material you can take a punch and push the cut corner in to relieve pressure. If you get in too big of a...

Might check with a local diesel injector shop. They may be able to rebuild them or have a source for you.

If implements are for rent and they are not reserved when you call, then it is available and should be rented. I would contact the business owner and explain to him the situation. He can then choose to train his employee better, or let you know his intent of his rental yard. Simply ask if he...

If you have to go to plan "B" I have some ideas that might help. I have a B8200 (Gear) I bought new in 1980. A couple year latter I added power steering. If you saw the tractor there are very few clues it's not a factory setup. (I bought the complete steering shaft, valve, cylinder, hoses...

If you guys want to build a rake that works for grass, leaves, twigs, pine needles, or raking the rock in your drive I can show you how to build one. I'm new here and don't post pictures, but I could email them to someone else to post. Basically, I took the pick-up teeth from an old square...

As mentioned, it appears there is a bolt going through the backside of the pin. The large dia. that is between the small pin and the plate of the plow frame may be all one piece. If it is just remove all the hardware after the bolts is removed and purchase the correct pin for your tractor...

I'm working on an L305DT. Book list rear tire size as 13.6-24. I have access to a pair of 14.9-24 tires and would like to find data on max tire size for this tractor. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey John, you bet it's a scam. But if you want to have some fun send him an email of interest. Tell him you're very interested and would like to come by and see it. He'll have some response like, "Its located in Houston. We include shipping." He'll then proceed to explain his predicament...

So no replies tells me not many work/own these old machines. I got it figured out. I have made modifications so the panel over the fuel tank can go on and off without removing the steering wheel, dash and the whole top end. Should have been made that way originally!

I would suggest to learn the controls of your loader on flat ground, open space with a pile of road rock or dirt you can play with. There is a reason your joystick puts the loader down when you push it forward. It's a natural reaction under stress. Pulling towards you brings the bucket up, so...
