    2 ton+ grass with a haybine

    Also... looks like you might be running stubs already. You shouldn't be getting that much mud and crud on a flat field with dry ground (you say the ground is dry) Do you have shoes on your haybine? I used to run a haybine for a friend of ours, he had an old 467 haybine with no shoes (skid...

    Jubilee Implements

    I would be a hypocrite if I said that I disagreed completely. We use a loader to move snow on our farm, but it's a modern loader with down pressure, float, powered tilt and dump... on a tractor that has 4wd and a reverser. We used to have a ford 4000, 2wd, with a loader, it did have active...

    2 ton+ grass with a haybine

    We run a 7' Grimm tedder and a newer sitrex 10'.. so we know what it's like to have a small tedder. That's also why we advocate tedding once...when the time is right. Tedding, in and of itself, doesn't dry the hay. It's sun and air that do the drying. My opinion and experience is that it...

    2 ton+ grass with a haybine

    There are a lot of lessons that we've learned that apply to this question. We run old Hesston haybines, and I've been mowing at 5mph all summer in light, heavy, short, tall...whatever. It's been a wet summer (13" of rain in August), so without irrigation, we still see similar problems to...

    Frost Free Hydrant Repair Questions

    So, my disdain for these notwithstanding... It sounds like you tried to do the right thing, and I hope you can get parts for yours. One other aspect of "doing the right thing", if you do want to use these frost free hydrants is to make sure there is a place to shut off the water to them...

    Wife just inherited Golden Jubilee with wiring problems

    I ran a six footer behind a ford 640, back when my wife and I first started our own farm. In short grass or brambles, it was fine. It worked on tall/thick canary grass, tractor got hot, but not overheated. I usually took less than a full width at a time. The front end of the tractor...

    Frost Free Hydrant Repair Questions

    I can't answer your question, but I have experience with these. When we moved onto our farm nine years ago, we found that somebody had piped water underground to a few frost free waterers located around the property. The well is in the milkhouse of the barn (well was drilled first, then...

    O.T. grease fitting

    I had the same question about the lock and lube ends... so what I did was, I bought the extended lock n lube. That puts the lock lever far away from the zerk. Works great on PTO universals and stuff like that. For places that are really tight, I bought a little elbow adapter. As I walk...

    Nick's 1951 8N

    Unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket, I've seen tires and rims in much worse shape still being used on working tractors. The calcium is a liability for storage, as you probably already know. You could possibly ditch the calcium, clean up the tires and rims, throw in new...

    Parts problems

    I took a steering gearbox off of a Ford 640 and sent it to the local dealer to rebuild... and then put it back on for a friend. About a year later, he tells me that the steering is really stiff. I check out the tractor and, sure enough... the steering is stiff as a board. The gearbox has a...

    Points next?

    Fabulous Your story is also evidence for why... a trouble light is a cool tool to have... but it's not quite as good as a good old analog multimeter. Just about any voltage from the battery will light the bulb. But a multimeter would tell you what voltage is actually present. Even...

    New holland 479 sprocket

    This may or may not help you... but... remember that sprockets are cheap compared to shop time and your time. Yours is really "cheap", because it's broken. I recently spent about five hours getting a #60, 12 tooth sprocket off of our haybine to get at a bearing on the conditioning roll...

    Unauthorized Manuals??

    Probably. People gotta eat. Everything else in the manual is good. It's just frustrating to try to read the schematics. I'm starting to think that an electric tractor would have a less complicated electrical schematic than a modern diesel. ;-)

    New to YT - question on a Ford I was asked to work on

    there was a 1994 New Holland just sitting on the property? Sounds like you've already bagged the most valuable trophy you'll ever get on the property. I'm only here for the comedy. Destroked knows these things... any advice I give will only muddy the water. I'm just thinking that maybe...
