    Baler Carnage...What Happened?

    Probably the first part of a baler I learned about as a kid were the needles.I grew up with the Farmall dealers son here in town,and during hay season thare were always a couple of yokes/frames with new needles bolted to it on the parts room floor.If you had a # 46 baler they were ready for you...

    Silo for Saturday

    If I was laying the bricks for that brick silo it never would have gotten more than 6 feet tall.Not the kind of work I can ever do.I'd rather watch paint dry.Just trying to imagine how it was built.One bricklayer?10? one tender? 10 tenders? No tenders?One good bricklayer could run two tenders...

    Wicked saw

    The insrance guy was at my logger friends place doing his yearly checkup.Almost all common sense stuff,he just had to verify and check the boxes on his form.Fire extinguishers,hardhats and hearing protection,and in later years,cell phones for everybody.One of the questions was,do you use bow...

    "Air Cannon" equivalent for small tires.

    I used the 3 gallon air can on the 8 inch tires on the front of my Wheelhorse,no problem.It has a narrower bill on it than the 5 gallon blast tank I have.Years ago I blew them on with ether,like everyone else did around here.I learned how to do it,and got used to it,but never did like it.

    Farm art.

    We just have to use posts that can break off,or use something that cantilevers out to suspend the box.My box was a couple of feet off the road,but mounted on a pole bolted to the crawler.Machine was a couple more feet behind the box.Big tree there too,you would have to go through that to hit the...

    Farm art.

    There is a farm here that has a Fordson tractor on one side of the driveway,and a John Deere G on the other.The womans father had bought the Fordson in 1936,fixed it,and as he put it,used it until he got a real tractor.That is the G sitting 25 feet across the driveway.Another guy has a Fordson...

    Farmall A receipt

    That guy wrote like I do.Only the numbers are legible to me.That word does look like synthetic to me,but,back then I think it was used to refer to products made from plants.I have seen old tires marked composite,and they crumbled in my hands trying to roll them out of a barn.Those tires could...

    Tough weed

    We have lots of that here.Wendy says it's Ajuga,she planted it all over the place 35 years ago for ground cover around the stone walls,and on some slopes and such around the culverts.She says it's a pull it up kind of plant.It does try to creep out into some places I mow,but I just mow right...

    Tough weed

    Picture of my 1010 dozer.All the weeds were cut away this spring,I was going to fire it up and sell it.I didn't get to it,and 5 months later this is what i have.The wild rosebush behind it always jumps out of the ground,but that bittersweet makes it look lazy.The vine over my stack is holding it...

    Tough weed

    Are you talking about the bittersweet that we are swamped with in the seacoast area? I'm only about 15 miles from you,but I have seen some areas close by that don't seem to have it.Chokes out anything in it's path.It ruined a friends 1010 crawler engine in Fremont.It climbed the stack,opened the...

    How would one vacuum out a diesel fuel tank?

    What model Bobcat do you have? Can make a huge difference in approaching it.Some have a fairly easy tank to remove,some have an extremely dificult tank to remove,and some are part of the chassis and can't be removed at all.I've welded new bottoms in two of those.

    Another cub 154 low boy question

    Duner,I can't access that bolt like that,the clutch brake is in the way.And,I can't remove that without removing the flywheel.Is yours earlier without the clutch brake? Or,did somebody in the past throw it away? That has been known to happen.At the Farmall dealer here in town some of the guys...

    Another cub 154 low boy question

    I've done a lot of work on those things over the years.I just did a clutch in one a few weeks ago.I had to remove that second flywheel to replace the pucks in the clutch brake.You just can't quite get the space needed to take them out with that flywheel in the way.With it all apart get...

    Fuel cans that are easy to use

    My old one like that from the 70's actually has two sets of lugs to engage the tank opening.one pair are for a much larger opening in a tank.I have never once come across a tank they would fit into,but have been told there was a lot of military stuff made they would fit.

    Fuel cans that are easy to use

    I have a little battery powered pump from HF,but it is for little stuff,not tractors and such.I still use a hand crank pump on a tank for diesel in the bigger stuff.That little hand held thing is great for filling the mowers,trimmers,splitter,etc.I can set the can on the running board of the...
