    JD 535 balerSome idiot ran twine pump low on oil m. What now?

    Yup, that's how you bleed. And also how you cycle the arms if you ever need to without a bale in the chamber (normally they need the bale to be at least 30" diameter before the belt running the twine pump will tension up enough to drive it, but that gate lock trick is a way to tension the belt...

    International C28 mower-- bearing

    Can you post the link where you found that? As far as I've ever found, there are no online parts books (neither the Case IH parts books site, nor Messick's, nor any others) that list most of the IH pitman mower models. Except for the #22, which both the Case site and Messick's have (for some...

    cutter/conditioner &thick hay "balling up"

    In addition to what was said: Make sure your reel; belt and roll drive belts aren't slipping - keep them tight. Most can have the speeds adjusted by adding/removing shims to open/close up the 'vee' in the sheaves (more shims between plates of a driven sheave makes the driven component turn...

    How does things like this happen?

    Does 'mowing' mean bush-hogging? If bush hogging some thick brush, then that could be the reason. Back in my early teenage years my grandfather had me bush-hogging an area of thick (1" or so) willows with a neighbour's JD 2130. All the willows were at least 4' or 5' tall, so they had me driving...

    Morning Cobbling: Ballast Box Bracket

    A successful morning thus far for fabrication. Last year I bought a Massey 50HX 4x4 loader. Very much a gamble: It popped up last minute at an online auction. No video of it running, and I didn't have a chance to see it before the auction closed. All the auction had was a few ugly pictures and...

    Fall Seeding Alfalfa in Northern(ish) Climate?

    Thanks kindly to all for responding. The consensus seems to be what I was thinking: Possible (and possibly preferable) to seed late summer/early autumn, but not much time left, and a few factors might dictate success vs. failure. I buy a mixed alfalfa I've had very good luck with (from Golden...

    Band sawmill

    I don't claim to be an expert: I'm more of a circular mill guy: Between the two farms we have five circular mills (had six up until recently, but I finally decided to downsize). But we also have a Woodland band at one farm which is great when you want the recovery of a band instead of the speed...

    Fall Seeding Alfalfa in Northern(ish) Climate?

    This probably should go in the 'Crop Talk' area, but I know not many folks read that area so I thought I might get more input here: I have one small field at our Southern farm I'd like to put in a winter cereal and transition to alfalfa. This is South-Central Ontario, right along the lake, where...

    Anyone looking for a Case Baler

    A chap around the corner had two - can't remember the model numbers - they were different models). Always thought the one he used more was an interesting baler. And I think they used Rasspe knotters like JD and NH, so knotter parts are readily available. But he told me that one of them could...

    JD 350 hay rake - need a new tooth pipe

    While it's good to hear yoy found one, I'm not sure I would have gone to the trouble of finding one myself. Have welded several over the years. With a pipe sleeve welded over top, the repair would be stronger than new. Deere, NH, and IH also used standard sched pipe for their tooth bars (all...

    Just curious

    For me at our Southern farm where I do Alfalfa (South-Central Ontario, right near the lake where we get heavy dews), it's cut day one, tedd day two early with a little dew still on to avoid leaf shatter, usually let sit day three, rake day four (just as the dew's coming off to avoid leaf...

    Chevrolet c65 brake parts

    For my '78, Cardone had the booster (and other parts), and the local Napa had a rear brake cylinder. Rear wheel cylinder was only about $25, but that was about the 12 years ago. Took the guy behind the counter a while to find the correct #, but when he did he found one on his shelf. But also...

    NH Mower Crusher

    Are you looking for advice on using one you've found/own? That specific 440 crimper/mower combination won't have been overly common (though not uncommon). But using one will be no different than any other sickle-mower & crimper combo, which loads of folks on here have used (and many still use)...

    MF vs New Idea 3 point hay rake

    The MF's were available with different pulleys to accommodate different PTO speeds and thus work with either standard 540 PTO or the (slower) ground-drive PTO. Belt sheaves are standard, available at any TSC or industrial supply. If you need a different speed, just spec one with the bore and...

    Bush Hog Disc

    Very much dependent on the soil type. But a fair bit of HP to pull it effectively if running full depth. Offset discs pull way harder than regular tandem discs. And those Bush Hog built offset discs were waaay more heavily-built than most other offsets. If I remember right, the square steel that...
