    Disc mower blades

    I let them go too long, flip them, let them go too long, then replace. Not much left to sharpen…. Most of what I cut is courser grass on ground too wet to mow on time, so sharpness isn’t all that important to cut the tall mature stems.

    Is this worth anything ?

    Like any old well used antique someone would love to restore that, maybe use it with horse demonstration, but the cost is in the time and parts to make it shine again. It looks like it’s mostly there so it would be valuable to such a person, but it’s not going to fund your retirement or...

    Got my money's worth

    That’s a reminder I need to order a fan belt for my Ford 5200. Much more visable than the disc mower belt, but somehow I keep forgetting to remember as well…. Paul

    Case ih 8309 discbine blades

    As others say, the end of that blade looks like 100s of acres, not 5 acres, it is hitting something hard, something not right. And the busted hole is very odd, were the blades still in their proper location you took the bold out, or did the blades actually fall out? Are you using the right...

    false advertising

    The British chap on YouTube, diy something something, had bought several of those false Ai ‘tools’ and shown them. The drill bits that had odd points and flutes on the. The welder/ metal cutter/ rust stripper that is actually a simple cheap propane torch. This pressure washer. And others...

    Rain

    Looks dry in the west, flooding rain in the east. Snow in the mountains to the west this week! I’m just a tad on the dry side now, which is perfect for me. My wet heavy soils do well if it’s a little below average rainfall. Just 30 miles west of me they have Sandy and lighter soils, and are...

    Did some bush hogging.

    I put my old decades ago cheap auction buy rotary mower on the tractor and mowed alomg the fence line of my pasture last week. Tall grass, not enough cattle in the pasture. Promptly hit a double fist size rock early on, broke the rock in half! It wasn’t a soft stone. My blades should be...

    Midwest Wagon Hoist

    Well, it needs to be what fits your application. I think I usually see a straight in hose, but that doesn’t mean every bolster and wagon frame will clear that exactly? Paul

    Bears - Wolves - Alligators

    Most of my life this area of southern MN was pretty harmless wildlife. The past couple decades the experts have introduced or encouraged rattle snakes, big cats, and coyote and fox have re appeared mostly on their own. The experts would like to see wolf expand but they are timber wolf, down...

    Vermeer F and G Series Baler Tips

    I ran a 605F for a few decades, still in the shed but got a newer Vermeer a couple years ago. Great info, I learned some stuff I didn’t know. Had a good run with mine, it didn’t like slippery long grass but it sure was a lot worse when you forgot to replace pickup teeth or old folded back...

    Antique Irrigation V-Ditcher

    That is pretty neat. Wouldn’t ever see such a thing in my neighborhood, soil type, rocks, and too wet heavy ground it just wouldn’t accomplish anything. We need drainage, not added water 90% of the time. Looks like you did a nice job on it. Paul

    International 710 Plow Landside questions

    You should be ok. In very hard dry clay soil conditions, I might need new plow lays to bite into the ground. Worn a bit rounded in front and they want to skid above the ground. You wouldn’t think it, but sure enough… In a typical wet year here, your bottoms would work fine until it was close...

    Need a part for a Ford 501 Mower

    Ohhhh…. I think those can be tough to source. Back 30 years ago dad got a green set to put on our Ford mower it worked fine, as long as the ball size is the same the JD deal fit. Hope I’m wrong and they are easier to find than what my poor memory recalls. Paul

    Is this a bush hog roatary cutter? and does anyone have a manual? Google can't answer everything : )

    That looks so easy to look up with the writing on the side, but brush hog rotary mowers can sure be mysterious! Paul
