    About 80 years ago, while I was in school and could not get to watch, my father and someone skilled, dynamited the top of a rock that would snag the plow. He hauled the pieces away and it never bothered the tillage since. How, I asked and said they covered the rock and dynamite with soft mud...

    Question for the Case experts

    I spent many hours as a child driving a 1940 SC, hauling feed wagons to be prepared at the mill for livestock, pulling hay wagons with loader, jumping on and off filling oat bundle wagon for threshing, plowing, etc.. Tell me, did Case give up the comfortable rubber cap on the clutch handle...

    Electric driven implements instead of PTO shaft drive ???

    Unless the driven portion of the implement would required many driven points from the driver, I don't think it would save any cost to have one generator and then one motor...much more costly than a PTO with a few universal joints and some common tubing. However it may cheaper than gobs of...

    David Bradley two wheel walk behind

    I have the remains of a David Bradley two wheel drive that I salvaged from my FIL's junk pile 20 years ago. It is piled with other stuff in my old barn waiting "for the next project"! Too late now. It looks like it had a multi-groove sheave for speed change. Looks like it had a front sickle...

    Light bulb removal tool

    Changing a tower light bulb looks easy from the ground! You get up there and you see the heavy glass protector is as big as the office wastebasket!

    HP for mower?

    My 5 foot Swisher tow mower was not able to handle the grass with the original 12+hp, couldn't keep up with the old JD212 I changed to 18hp and the Swisher kept up. Those Swishers did not have enough under deck room and poor air handling in my opinion. So if you keep your plot constantly mowed...

    Anyone Plowing Snow with a JD garden tractor?

    I tried with a JD blade on my old 212 but could not control up/down to do a decent job and of course, it needed chains and wheel weights which I did not have. Sold everything. Now using an x535 and a front blower, fluid in tires and chains. Almost too much for this old guy putting it on. I don't...

    Liquid in tires.

    Using fluid filled tires on my JDX535 in order to use snowblower with tire chains, nice way to back out of downslope around the mailbox. However, valve stems some times leak, wheel too heavy to mount and remount summer wheels, thence a firm, shocking ride all summer over bumps and holes. Pretty...

    Old bandsaw (gift-non running) needs wheel retreading, but the wheels have a depression in the center, will the blade track? My years of experience has always shown, the wheel face NEEDS to be higher than the edges for flat belts????
