    Uses for ALFCO multi-tool

    We have 3 of those things. We have mostly just used the part for separating flat chain links. We bolted them to a 3-4 foot chunk of 2x12 to keep it stable. It is a lot easier than trying to use one of our handheld chain breakers, provided we can get the chain off of the machine. I always thought...

    New Idea mounted picker

    Try the corn picker forum on activeboard. There is a lot of interest in corn pickers of all kinds there, by folks from all parts of the country.

    Agco parts system????

    FWIW, we get good support from Robinson Implement out of Irwin, Iowa. They seem to cover a large area of western Iowa. We still farm with a small herd of AC D17s and several AC and New Idea implements. Most of the legacy brands over here seem to be AC and White, but there are pockets of Oliver...

    gravity wagon roll tarp advice?

    I ordered a Sioux City Tarp gravity wagon cover this year. I bought the aluminum end option. It also came with two middle hoops, two straps, and all necessary hardware. Everything fit, based on measurements I gave them over the phone. Their number is 712-258-6939. I was pleased with product and...

    Grease Fitting Repair

    Fantastic discussion. Everything from a sturdy field repair with materials at hand to a very educational explanation of terms. Smaller crawler, that was a great link. I have nothing to add, just saying thanks to all.

    Figuring How Far Above Sea Level

    If an altimeter does not suit your needs, you might try an eye level. In some areas I have heard it called a hand level. It probably has an "official" name that I have not heard. Considering your experience, you may already know about this tool. We used it to mark rough grade on...

    Organics and Hierloom Organics

    You might try Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa. They have a wide selection of heirloom varieties for garden, orchard, grass, and flower crops. I do not know about field crops, but they would be worth a look. They offer bulk quantities of seeds.

    Building fence

    We use the same gravel backfill method as JDSeller described, with the same positive results.

    Hey Bleeding Orange SW Iowa, question for ya

    Sorry, I don't get on here as much as I would like. Of course you can get a copy. It will take me a bit of time to get it scanned. I think I have added my e-mail and opened it. Ask away.

    decisions.............

    I think dealer support would be key factor for your decision. We have a good AGCO dealer in Irwin, Iowa-Robinson's. Parts and service have always been good for older iron. We have a small herd of "AGCO Heritage" AC D17s that work for a living, and that dealer takes care of us. They also take...

    Auger in Grinder Question

    If your junction box is still intact, the paddles work inside that. Do you still have your original shaft/paddles for a pattern?

    Auger in Grinder Question

    The intake auger on ours is driven by a drive chain that is driven by a shaft that is driven by another drive chain off of the PTO shaft. There is a 5" v-belt pulley on the very front end of the intake auger shaft. The belt on that pulley drives the pulley/sprocket cluster that runs the hammer...

    Auger in Grinder Question

    Farmhand does have a back mineral hopper. I just went out and looked at ours, which is still intact and grinds ear corn weekly. The intake auger is as JDSeller describes it. Ours has a sealed bearing at the back of the auger under the mineral hopper, and is driven by the drive chain and sprocket...

    ground cherries

    Try SeedSavers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa. They sell a variety called Aunt Molly's Ground Cherry for $2.75/packet of 50 seeds. I grew them one year, started them from seed indoors sometime in January, then transplanted with the tomatoes. SSE has seeds for a lot of older varieties of vegetables...

    Farmhand Grinder/Mixer

    The owner"s manual for our Farmhand grinder/mixer uses the following terms: Model F81-D Drop Feeder, Model F82-D Plain Table, and Model 805-A Feedroll Attachment. The "drop feeder" is what we have always called the hopper. It is the open-topped auger that carries the grain, ear corn, etc. into...
