    How do you store buckets?

    Ive got a number of buckets around the shop of various sizes and shapes, but mostly the standard white plastic 5 gallon type. I hate nesting them, as they get suctioned together. But the buckets all still seem to end up on the shop floor taking up space. Any great insights on convenient...

    Kubota B6100 HST question

    Ive got a Kubota 6100 hydrostatic drive tractor. The drive is controlled by a rocker style foot pedal. Lately, when releasing pressure on the foot pedal from going forward, the tractor still wants to creep forward even though the pedal has apparently returned to the neutral position. The...

    Gauge wheels useful?

    I?ve got a 7 ft Woods brand rear blade, heavy duty type. It?s ok for moving dirt and gravel, but virtually impossible to really grade surfaces uniformly without the blade digging in constantly. I?m thinking about investing in a gauge wheel set up sold by Woods for this specific blade. Anybody...

    What tool is this?

    A friend gave this tool to me. He thought it was used for sheet metal work. The "nippers" are reversible and replaceable. Is this used for crimping some sort of seam?

    Cub sheet metal question

    So I'm about half way into a restoration of a '47 Cub with my son. I had never noticed two holes on the right side of the main hood , about 1/2" diameter, until I started sanding it between final coats of red. The holes appear to be factory made made. Very clean; not drilled out. I looked...

    New Holland bale thrower

    I was looking at some websites with New Holland square balers with bale throwers listed, specifically the NH 273. It looked like there was some sort of hand crank that could be accessed from the tractor seat for the bale thrower. Having never seen one in person, what is this crank for? Does...

    Opinions on hay conditioners....

    I've seen the roller type conditioner (which is on my old Vicon hay mower-conditioner) and the flail type: the ones with a bunch of plastic fingers that spin fast and sling the hay rearward. For those of you who have used both, is one conditioner system superior to another? Is one more...

    Need sickle mower wisdom...

    I've used an old Vicon discmower-conditioner on my little plot of hay for about 6-7 years. One of man's greatest inventions, IMHO. In an effort to save some fuel, I decided to use an old IH sickle mower to mow the hay employing a smaller tractor. Up until now I just used the sickle mower to...

    New Holland 114 Mower/Conditioner

    I was looking at an older New Holland 114. It has self-contained hydraulics for powering the mower/conditioner. I've never used one before. Any opinions on the reliability of this model? Thanks.

    New Holland Rake/Tedder 254 or 355

    I've seen some used New Holland 255/254 rake/tedder machines for sale. I currently use a small two rotor hay tedder the works OK, but I'd like to be able to have less equipment to store inside in the shed, if I can use a single combo machine to both ted the hay and then rake it. Question...

    Farmall Cub engine seal....

    I finally got the little Cub tractor out from the corner of the shop and rebuilt the carb. The engine started fine, but very soon started leaking engine oil profusely from the clutch bell housing straight down onto the floor. I think the rear main engine seal is totally gone. I"ve never had...

    Massy-Ferg. baler

    I came across a decent looking M-F small square baler (model 224, I think). It looked to be in very good shape. The plunger mechanism seemed very similar to a New Holland, but the knotters looked completely different than a New Holland. I have no experience with the M-F knotters. They look...

    Safety check on the ROPS!

    I was mowing with my Woods zero turn front mower, when I noticed the seat belt seemed to tighten when I stopped quickly. Couldn't figure out why at first. Then I discovered that 3 of the 4 bolts that hold on the ROPS system (where the seat belt attaches) had completely fallen out. I can't...

    Hydraulic bale tensioners...

    I have a couple older New Holland balers and use the standard tensioner on the end of the bale chute to adjust the density of the bale. It seems this year the density of the bales varies much more so than in previous years, which is probably related to the dramatic variation in hay density this...
