    Baling hay in 1940's

    Was the elevator hooked to the truck ground driven? Never saw one before. In the scene with the homemade elevator-wonder how many of those bales broke apart when they landed up in the barn? Use to hate those bales that were bowed and you had to handle them so carefully so as not to burst them...

    Front Mount plow

    I have the same setup and by setting the plow down and pulling the cables on the rear pulleys as tight as I could get it, have managed to only get about two inches clearance when lifted. It is possible that moving the bar that fits across the 3-point arms back further would give you a longer...

    What to use to remove gravel from lawn?

    I have had good luck with the stiffer yellow plastic leaf rakes, rather than the regular metal rakes. They don"t bend as easy and pull the stones rather than let them fall through. You can pull it with a flatter stroke and put more pressure on it.

    660 carb update

    I dont know how long this thread has been going or what has been suggested, but I have had some luck taking a squirt oil can, putting gas in it and squirting it in the carb to see if the addition of gas will keep the tractor running without the choke. If it does, it could indicate a gas...

    Government VOLT

    This sounds a lot like the conversations that took place when tractors were introduced and horse farmers said they would never be as good as the horse. They probably were not initially, but did eventually evolve into workable products. Come on you "horse farmers", give it a chance-the oil is...

    Getting the most out of your tractor

    This auction was held in Fairbault, MN this past Thursday and Friday and these tractors were all from one owner who passed away. When this guy was alive and selling things it was impossible to drive up the driveway and most people parked out on the township road and walked in. There was so...

    New purchase-'62 lite ind. PICS

    Do you have any idea what color the "Ford" decals are that go on the front plates where the cylinders hook onto? I redid this same loader last winter and would like to put on some new decals. Thanks

    How did this happen?

    Old mechanic taught me to always take off the caps when charging your battery. Does this let the gasses escape and prevent the blowup?

    jeez another oil rig exploded

    Maybe it just happened. Had a part on my tractor that broke once and I will be darned if I could find someone to blame.

    Raspberries or NOT

    I have three varieties of raspberries and they vary on how you grow them. Two of the varieties produce on the second year canes, so I will trim out the ones that have produced berries this year and let the other canes grow for next years berries. The third variety I cut completely down to...

    RV REFRIGRATOR

    I pulled a nonworking refrig from a 1976 RV and used the tipping over process and had good luck with it. I let it sit overnight upside down, then hooked it up to 110v to test it, before putting it back in. Has been 4 years now and continues to work. With the cost of a new refrig and the old...
