    1945 BO

    I picked up a clean BO a few weeks ago. I started asking around about it, as I was told is was one of 3 that came into the county with sequential serial numbers. I spoke the Neal at the John Deere archives yesterday and learned the in fact it is the middle tractor of 3 that were sold in my...

    John Deere 650

    I"m looking at purchasing a 650 this week. It has a rototiller on it and seem to be in good condition overall. It has 277 hour on the meter, thought to be a low use tractor. How dependable are these tractors, will they handle a 5" bush hog? Any information will be helpful.

    Welding and Vision problem

    I had Lasik eye surgery in Nov. My eyes where not too bad to start with but I was having trouble on close stuff while working. My problem is that now the flash/light from welding is so bright I have trouble seeing while welding. If I turn my helmet up high enough that the light does not bother...

    Hi Chris, I'll look at things more closely. The seller told me it was a 39, but I'll check the serial number this morning and see exactly what year it was manufactured. Please turn on your email on or send me a quick message, I'm interested in parts. Thanks, Greg

    Cletrac vs. Oliver HG42

    After searching the internet, I have come to discover that my tractor was restored incorrectly. Being a 1939 HG42, it's a Cletrac not an Oliver. Someone had put the wrong decals on it. I plan to use it for a while and then go through the crawler and paint it & put the correct decals on it. I...

    Brought the HG42 home this weekend (pic)

    Thanks for pointing that out. I checked the manual and it takes 40w for where I live. I believe the person before me used grease. That will require a tear down and cleaning if it's the case. I took the right dozer cylinder to the hydraulic repair shop today to get it fixed, it was leaking...

    Brought the HG42 home this weekend (pic)

    I closed the deal and brought this beauty home Saturday. I warmed the engine and dropped the oil and I going through all the lubrication points this week. The right cylinder has a pretty good leak at the packing gland and I noticed the rod has a good gouge in it (the cause of the leak). Other...

    John Deere 755 doesn't move

    A friend's 755 wheel tractor stopped moving last week. All hydraulic components are working, but it will not move when pushing on the forward pedal. It will move VERY slowly in reverse, but without any power to speak of. This all started a couple of days after installing the backhoe...

    Sandy MacKay re Hugh's 3pt hitch plans

    Mark, I am the person that started last Saturday's thread. I sent you an email on this subject. I only hope that someone puts you in contact with Sandy and you can purchase a set from her. As you noted, there are differences between Hugh's earlier photos and the one I posted. I had to make...

    Hugh Mackey Super A 3 point lift kit

    Thanks for the compliment. I exchanged a few emails with Hugh after I bought the plans, mostly friendly chat, he commented once that I was the only person that bought a set of plans and didn't come back with a bunch of questions on how to build the unit. His plans are very detailed and...
