    Rusted Ford 800

    The steering sounds like it's at the bottom end or your issues. Suggest you jack it up, take the weight off the front end, lube any fittings and see if it frees up as you fiddle with it providing some encouragement to the stuck points pounding, vibrating, heating (where it will not damage any...

    Deer hunting advice.

    Considering the litigious nature of today's society I feel it is entirely reasonable for landowners to have hunters sign a document indicating they have NO LIABILITY if a hunter gets hurt while hunting on a property whether it's a lease or free. Duh!

    Attention Stolen Tractor!

    Hope the tractor is located and in one piece. Anyone have experience with installing a tracking device? There are a lot of devices available. I know some have monthly subscription fees. Would a simple Apple Air Tag work?

    Seam sealer question

    I prefer the 3M urethane sealants for automotive restoration seams. They stick well to about any surface whether primed, painted or bare metal as long as it's clean / free of grease, oil, etc., and are paintable. You can get them in squeeze or caulk gun tubes or brushable can. Spot welding...

    Kubota BX2200 won't steer correctly

    Can understand your frustration. It's unfortunate when OEM parts no longer available. Did your web search indicate an aftermarket kit that can be used? If so, suggest obtain.

And you'll likely have less fitment issues, better cooling and quality than with an aftermarket tank. They...

    Best way to cut lead

    Shear likely best if you have access to one. Easily get manageable chunks and certainly won't damage cutting edge. No dust and few chips. If you choose to use a rotary or reciprocal cutting device suggest: 1) keep moist to minimize dust. 2) Use in area where children/pregnant women cannot access...

    Farmall 560 fender spacer/washer frozen (best way to remove)

    Glad you got your parts disassembled. Stubborn attachments will generally yield to getting 'cherry red' with a torch and a rapid quenching/cooling. You can often turn them loose with your fingertips. Good luck with your reassembly.
