    need information on dad's old Allis Chalmers

    I'm putting my dad's old Allis Chalmers d17 Tractor up for sale. I don't know what year it is, possibly 1959. It starts easily and runs great. It has new tires with snow chains. The serial numbers is 224692. If anyone can tell me how to find the year and value of this tractor I'd appreciate it.

    Weight scales

    Well lets put it this way. In my line of work I have run across very tragic accidents, where someone forgot to secure a load, or was speeding, or drunk or both (finding ways around the law). I am sure the Family's of those that were lost would appreciate your thoughts. I was always taught to...

    Weight scales

    This is what I was told in Colorado when buying my new 23' PJ GN trailer that could have a 15800 GVW. I called CSP, my County DMV and DOT scale house near me. Got the sam answer from all 3 I drive and F350 dually with a GVWR rating of 11,500. If the trailer is rated at 15800 I exceed the...

    car transporting CO to WI

    Who in the world gave her that price. I live in Durango and there are many good independent shops around. If it is the Ford dealer I can understand - just don't go there. Have her call around and check BBB listings. Also Farmington NM is 45 miles away and they have some great service...

    Starting restoration of a IH 100 Balanced head mower

    Parts are still available through Case/IH or Rowe's Rakes in Nebraska. They actually still make most parts that will work. I jut rebuilt an IH 1300 unit using help from them. They can also service the wobble box, and being as old as you have I would strongly suggest shipping it in. They did good...

    Who makes a good 3-pt rototiller?

    Lon - check out your local Agg equipment rental places to see what they rent out. My local dealer changed from Land Pride to Terrafource due to durability. I have a Terraforce YJR074 gear driven 74 inch unit. It is made by Ansung. It is heavy which in a tiller is a good thing. MY PTO power is...

    best small square blaer used?

    Well with any luck I will have a Hesston 4550 to bale with this summer. It's been a very long search - all over this place and one popped up about 100 miles from me. Appears to be in excellent condition, but dealer will go through it. Current owner is paying for that service.

    JD 224T What HP to run?

    After looking at it and checking it out, I passed. While parts are available, I figured close to $1000 to totally rebuild internals. This included some professional help :D

    JD 224T What HP to run?

    Thanks folks for all the information. Tractor is a Bobcat CT 235 rated to tow 3300 lbs and weighs in at 3600 lbs with filled tires. If I understand correctly JD 224T weighs in at 2900 so I should be OK. PTO is fully independent of ground speed. This tractor is hydrostatic, so I can slow down if...

    JD 224T What HP to run?

    I have been watching the sales looking for a small square baler that can be run with 27-30 PTO hp. Not looking for production, but want it to work. Baling small acreage lots. A good looking JD 224T just came on the market for $1850. Supposedly field ready as it was used last season. Will this...

    MF 12 baler questions

    To start out, probably 500 to 1000 (2 cuttings total). They are all small 3 acre lots in the subdivision. If we have good irrigation water you can get between 50 and 100 per lot. I have 3 or 4 folks wanting me to cut already. Hopefully a bit more each year. I am trying to stay local. I am...

    MF 12 baler questions

    Thanks Folks I am getting different responses to parts availability. Local MF dealer (50 miles away) indicates hit or miss on parts. He recommended I take a second look at the Hesston 4570 that is available 50 miles the other direction. I guess I will see what my custom hay man says...

    MF 12 baler questions

    n my quest to find a small square baler I can run with my 27 PTO hp, I ran across a MF 12 baler, shed stored. It appear to be in good shape, used last year and did fine. Owner did admit it eats shear bolts if you do not watch the wind rows. I wonder if that is a warning sign. He powered it with...

    Ford 503 side delivery rake - need opinions

    After getting some detailed pictures I discovered it is actually a model 14-72, painted red. which I believe is an earlier model. Is this correct? One of the bars has a slight bow in it. Should this be a big concern. I'm told everything else is solid. It has the steel teeth, and there is a...
