    First major plowing job

    Earlier in May I was about to use my Ford 601 to do some actual plowing. Last year I only plowed a few lines for my father's tomatoes, but this year he decided it was time to revive part of his garden "empire". The plow that I used is a Ford 2 bottom 12 inch which works great for the mostly red...

I manage to sort out the problems with the engine which turned out to be an assortment of issues being timing, carburetor, water pump, radiator, plugs, wires - the usual suspects. The problem that I have now is...

    NH68 issues

    I managed to rebuild my pickup reel with new bushings ( bought one original, made three of my own reproductions ), replaced the rollers, and replaced the pickup cam for all a little under 250 bucks. I was working on the knotter issue issue today and noticed that as I was rolling things over...

    NH68 issues

    It is the cam follower. It is worn beyond use, somehow only one of the cam rollers are staying in place. The other three are flopping in the wind. I've managed to locate a good used one, but I'm not excited about the amount of disassembly that looks to be heading my way. I'm going to be looking...

    NH68 issues

    1.) There is very minimal surface rust on the tin guards in the pickup area. There have been a few of the bands(?) replaced with newer ones over the years. 2.) It ran last year, but ran poorly. Since then numerous parts replaced: the aluminum feeder teeth, the bushings on the tine bar ( ovaled...

    NH68 issues

    The rolling basket case of a baler that is my NH 68 strikes again... This thing is temperamental and seems to work when it wants to. A lot of searches via google and other sources have turned up information on all sorts of issues regarding knotter problems, which I do have a knotter issue which...

    New Holland 68 feeder shell question

    Last summer I purchased a NH68 square baler. I was the only bidder at an estate auction and paid 250 dollars for it. It ran for the most part, but not very well. The main problems were loud banging noises, squealing ( despite greasing and oiling ), bad bearings, bushings that were egged out, and...

    Dearborn 14-77 Side Mount

    I recently picked up a Dearborn 14-77 side mount sickle bar mower along with a parts mower for a good price ( $300 ) plus the cost of a tank of gas to go through Hair Pin County and Switchback City to the middle of nowhere North Carolina to pick this up. The plan is to completely rebuild this...

    Several unidentified implements

    I've had several unidentified implements lying around the property for several years and I've wondered what they are. The previous owner of the property acquired the land around 1948 and died sometime in the 1970s. His widow would pass in the 1980s and their kids would sell the estate in 1992 to...

    Ford 503 stripper shafts

    Old, I am located in Northeast Tennessee a few miles away from where Davy Crockett was born in 1786, although I'm not a native Tennessean only having arrived when I was 16 months old some 31 years ago... I can't find the field in the control panel to change my location. The parts in question...

    Ford 503 stripper shafts

    I recently picked up a Ford 503 rake for a very good price. It has a brand new stripper with new bearings, and associated parts, but there are no shafts for the stripper, and the shafts are NLA. I know from reading over the last few days that this rake has a mixed reputation, but since the...
