    Sheared bolts

    In the past I have used left-handed drill bits. I start out with a smaller bit. Sometimes this will be enough to unscrew the broken bolt out. If not, I use a bigger bit which will usually snag the bolt and screw it out.

    Solved! Stuck up 3 point on 8N

    When my 8N 3pt sticks up I flip the draft control lever up and down and it will drop. Sometimes it takes several tries.

    Using 15/40 oil in my Ford 3000 diesel

    I have been using 15/40 oil in my 1968 Ford 300 diesel for several years. I probably use the tractor for about 60 hours per year. I recently noticed in my owners manual that I should be using 10/30. I don't use the tractor if it gets below zero because I can't personally handle the extreme...

    Old Diesel vs Old Gas

    My local Maverick gas station sells non-ethanol fuel. It costs a bit more but I can leave it in my 8N and TEO 20 all year and they run fine. It also works well in all of my small engines which can be left in the sun for several weeks at a time and still run.

    3000 three-point won't lift

    When I checked the tractor this morning I found the remote handle was stuck in the rear position. I centered it and the hydraulic lift works fine.

    3000 three-point won't lift

    This evening my three-point lift stopped working. It will take a little weight off the blade that is hooked onto it but it won't lift it off the ground. It has worked fine until today. Tomorrow I will find my owner's manual and service manual but I am hoping to get some ideas where to look for...

    Brakes are stuck

    I have to move several old JD two-cylinder tractors. Two are late A's, one is a Late BWH, and one is a wartime B. I actually have two wartime B's (44) with very close serial numbers, probably built the same day. They have been sitting for over 15 years with the brakes set. Most of them won't...

    Ferguson Dyna-Balance mower belt replacement

    I need to replace the belt on my older dyna-balance mower. I bought one several years ago but never installed it. The belt has been sitting outside on another dyna-balance mower I am hoping to restore someday. The belt was not installed. It was just there on it. I am having a very hard time...

    New Holland 10 10 bale wagon bale pickup issues

    Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I moved the thing the bale slides under as it slides into the chute so it will hold the bale tighter against the pickup chain and it helped a lot for picking up the bales. It still cuts the twines a lot. I have to watch and listen constantly to the chute...

    New Holland 315 baler knotter problems and more

    Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I have purchased the rollers for the twine fingers and will install them when I have more time. I will study the owner's manual and check all of the adjustments. The local dealers (Case-IH and John Deere) are a month behind on scheduling appointments...

    New Holland 10 10 bale wagon bale pickup issues

    The bales seem square and tight. I think the twine is 9600, not 9000. I'll have to check the box it was in. It came from an estate sale so I don't know where it was purchased originally.

    New Holland 10 10 bale wagon bale pickup issues

    This evening I loaded 28 bales. It cut the twine on 3 of them. Most of the bales would not go up out of the pickup and had to be pulled up and out to the first table. I have a new problem now. When the first table puts the bales up to the second table it stays there and growls very loud like a...

    New Holland 315 baler knotter problems and more

    My New Holland 315 baler sometimes misses tying the knot on the right knotter. The left side never misses. It usually will work fine for a while and then misses another bale. I don't recall it ever missing two in a row. The right twine from the broken bale will still be attached to the knot in...

    New Holland 10 10 bale wagon bale pickup issues

    The bale pickup on my New Holland bale wagon will snag and cut one twine an about 10 bales per load. It's worse with grass hay. The bales are 14 x 18 x 36. I'm tired of getting off the tractor to re-tie them. I have bad hips and Parkinson's so this is difficult for me. I have an owners manual...
