    Sunday Stripper

    No, not that sort. This one was invented by Headley Taylor in Australia, He and H. V. McHay pioneered the idea for just removing the heads of crops like wheat, back at the end of the 1800's. McHay was a farmers son who went into machinery manufacture, building and expanding his initial design...

    Tw35 oil pressure

    A friend of mine has a tw35. When he changes the engine oil it acts like it looses its prime. He fills the filters before installing them. It takes a long time to build oil pressure when starting after the oil change. Over a minute, not just seconds. After that it has oil pressure instantly...

    Ford 3000 axle make popping noise

    I didnt think to check that. Looks like I need to re-torque everything I can get to when I get over the sore back. I was worried about having to change out the axle with loaded tires and figured I would do a little homework before I tore into it... work smarter, not harder kinda thing

    Ford 3000 axle make popping noise

    I didnt put a wrench on the lugs. They dont look loose, no shiny metal from sloppy lug nuts. After a full day of moving dirt, I didnt feel like crawling around on the ground to check it out

    Ford 3000 axle make popping noise

    I was using the Ford 3000 with FEL this weekend. After a few hours of digging gumbo, the right axle started making a popping/ clicking noise on a hard push. It sounds like it is coming from the wheel/ axle area. I wasnt ramming it, just slow steady pushing in 2l and 3/4 throttle. It pops...

    Rare diesel tractor for sale.

    that is rare if it is a "naturally aspirated" diesel. 68+ and pretty oil/dirt/mud caked for a diesel. Looks like no maintenance (or cleaning) has been done for quite a long time. I wouldnt trust the injector pump It has probably never seen a shed, but it does have a new seat! $4000 is...

    silverado add pulling out stuck ford tractor?

    Kinda like the V agra add where the guy in a 4WD truck pulling a trailer through a mud hole in 2WD gets it stuck instead of driving around it or putting it in 4WD, the guy in the desert buying a $8 bottle of water at a gas station instead of a gallon of antifreeze, the guy that looks like a hero...

    ford 3000 gas tractor bad miss at all rpm

    self threadjack... I checked the oil on this after I got it running good and found it to be about a quart over full, before that , I didnt pay that much attention to it. It was way up on the stick and looked dirty, so I was gonna change it any way. I drained it out and it smelled a little like...

    Stuck top link bracket pin

    homebrew grape juice (50/50 acetone/ atf). heat it with a propane torch, spray the juice to it, drink a beer, then smack it with a hammer. If that doesnt work, it is too bent to come out. You will have to grab the sawsall.

    ford 3000 gas tractor bad miss at all rpm

    The carb for a 158 ci "2000" is on and runs like a top. I had to pay shipping 3 ways to get the right carb. I will discuss this with the b tch line on friday. I am dealing with the Chinese fuel cap that turns but wont come off now. I will pay extra for real parts from CNH after this...

    now I get an email 6 hours later and the jackwagon says he needs a cc number to process the order for the new carb. I have a sneaky feeling this is far from over

    ford 3000 gas tractor bad miss at all rpm

    Just got off the phone with CS. No problems with the return (other than them not admitting that the website was wrong). New carb is on the way but I'm out the money for 2 carbs until they get the new one back. Waiting on bucket cylinder seals for the loader, but other than that , this thing...
