    I will send you pictures. I found them on my phone from five years ago. If I remember correctly I used a coupling nut and some 1/4" all thread to extend the bolt; don't recall about the spring. I do have a lathe and mill but they were simple jobs.

    Cement Mixer Advice

    I did that once at the old farm, which used to be a dairy. I wanted to fill in the manure gutter and there was a rental yard 8 miles away. I can't remember if the unit was 1.5 or 2 yards, but it was a trailer mounted mini version of a cement truck. A Honda engine powered it, backed it up to...

    Cement Mixer Advice

    I have a Harbor Freight model. I've used it for mixing feed in the "off season" as well as concrete. It does not have much practical capacity; I think three 60# is what I can "fit". If you tilt it more toward vertical to get a fourth bag in, the lip gets high and hard to lift the bag up as...

    Need to replace my headgasket, looking for instructions

    Others with more experience will comment as well, but my 5000's will push any fluid above the fins out through the overflow. Been that way for years. Top it off to the cap with coolant and out it comes on the next run. If the tractor isn't working hard it may be "wet stacking", where oil...

    Mudrig's new Ford 3000

    Regarding your black smoke; what is the condition of your oil bath air cleaner? Secondly, have you changed the oil in the cambox on your injection pump? I have had some erratic behavior from the fuel system when I use tractors that have not had that service.

    Umbrella Options?

    The three Ford roll bars I have all had the top round tube that protruded through the side uprights. I cut the protruding portion with a cut-off wheel and then used the BareCo mounting hardware that came with the canopy. BareCo uses some large U-bolts to hold the plates and bars.

    Service Manual for Ford 4600SU not complete

    My experience with I&T manuals is they use section numbers, not page numbers. So if they reference #156 it's not page 156 but section. There are often multiple sections on a page. Take a second look and see if that makes sense. While more expensive, the factory manuals are more comprehensive...

    For Those who Sell Hay - Prices in 2026?

    That is bales on the ground. I often help throw onto the trailer and help the younger kids that haven't spent time around hay bales. Once they learn the system for stacking they can work on their own and then I usually circle back to make sure its tied down well.

    For Those who Sell Hay - Prices in 2026?

    I sell small squares out of the field at the home place for 7.00/bale. Same people come back every year because they like the way I make hay. One guy asks me to store about 50 bales for him that he picks up at lambing time in Jan-Feb so I charge him an extra 2.00/per for storage. I think I...

    A little advice.

    I have a 35hp Kubota w/ 4wd and a loader. It has been a super versatile tool and handles the bulk of the chores around the farm. However, if I was clearing land it would not be my choice because the loader is not designed for sustained digging/pushing and I would be afraid of breaking...

    Found the neatest place to eat in Colorado

    I've eaten at the one in Delta, CO many times. After you eat a large breakfast they try to send you out the door with a huge cinnamon roll.

    Welder question s

    I have used my Miller AC/DC welder (220volt) powered by my Generac 5500W generator for some field repairs. I think I ran 120 amps DC and it did the job. Since they were minor repairs I wasn't welding much more than half a rod at any time.
