    Plowing with tractor set on 30in rows

    I know the proper way to set it is to slide the wheels out, but we use this tractor to side dress, so I'm not too keen on moving the wheels out on a tractor that hasn't been set wide for probly 20 years just to plow a few acres. It appears the hitch can be moved over far enough to take a full...

    Plowing with tractor set on 30in rows

    I have an F135H semi mount plow and the 4020 I want to pull it with has the wheels set for 30 inch rows. I know to set the hitch on the plow by the book, it says to slide hitch over on the frame of the plow to set it for your wheel width. The chart in the book doesn't have settings for a...

    Tech Manuals

    I'd like to have some tech manuals for some of our tractors. Is there any websites that will allow a person to download a tech manual online for free, or would I have to buy a PDF file or just buy an actual book? Thank, Aaron

    Chevy C60 won't fire..

    Alright, so dumb question, but how do you get the distributor cap off? I messed with it some this morning and it would move some, but it felt like it had springs holding it on. It was dark, so I really couldn't see all that well. Thanks for the help thus far!

    Chevy C60 won't fire..

    So today I washed our 1974 Chevrolet C60 grain truck. I washed some of the grease and dirt out of the engine bay, which yes, I know is not really a good idea, but this truck was pretty bad so I though maybe it wouldn"t hurt. I had the truck running when I washed it, and I strayed away from the...

    Be careful out there-tractor accident pics

    Maybe this is the wrong thing to do, but if I am on a two lane road and there is no oncoming traffic I always hog the whole road right before I turn just to be sure nobody tries to pass me. It probably pisses a lot of people off, but its better than their car being jammed into the side of...

    JD 60

    I don't necessarily think you would need 50 hp to pull a 3 bottom plow. I put my 60 on the dyno this summer and it put out about 36 ponies. I have a 55H 3 bottom 14 inch plow that I can pull throught about anything in 3rd gear. Every once in a while I may find a really tough spot and have to...

    Powr-trol oil question

    I have a JD 60 and the manual says to run the same weight of oil in the engine, in the powr-trol. Some of the rest of the tractors on the farm use the regular green hydraulic oil. My question is can I run the regular green hydraulic oil in the powr-trol on the 60 without any problems? I can't...

    Okay, so how difficult would it be to get replacement wear parts such as shares, shins and moldboards?

    Plow Identification...maybe

    I was rabbit hunting on a neighbors property today and I came upon this plow. I didn't get a chance to look real close at it, so I'm not even sure what make it is, but I did manage to snap a few pictures with my phone. I'm planning on going back after school tomorrow and trying to get a better...

    Here are a couple pictures of mine. I just tried to go from what little paint was left on the plow.

    what I did today (pics)

    There aren"t any, only in the low spots and the bottoms is where there is any corn. Corn is disappearing around here pretty quick, being disced down and mowed off.

    what I did today (pics)

    Put in a few waterways today. With the torrential rains we have had these last few years, some of these wash outs were getting close to 6 and 7 foot deep in places. I made a few rounds with the disc to smooth it down a bit. Then I got this great idea to use the plow to fill in the washouts...
