    Massey Ferguson 245 rear lift arms won't lift

    I recently purchased a 1976 MF 245. When I got it home and hitched the mower to it it won"t lift it more than 4 inches off the ground, and it only does that when I have the lever pulled all the way back into "constant pumping". Before I hitched the mower I can get the lift arms to lift all...

    Basket weeder on a farmall 140

    I am currently weighing my options for what cultivating tractor I will buy next year. I have more or less come to the conclusion that the 140 will be the best fit for my farm. We are a small farm producing our crops intensively on just over 2 acres. I worked on a farm years ago with 3...
