    3 point pin for a JD 709

    If I need to cut it off will a grinding metal cutoff disk handle that type of steel?

    8n Oil Canister Leaks

    I have battled with them leaking. Best advice I can offer is to make witness marks on the cover and canister before removing. The cover will wear to the canister and sometimes will only seal if put back in the exact same spot. Also sometimes using two gaskets will stop leaking.

    3 point pin for a JD 709

    I would really like 3 inches for the lift arm as it might be more forgiving in lining things up for mounting and such. There must be a generic pin out there somewhere other than paying Mother Deere all that money. Is there any reason why I couldn't weld the current one in place to stop the...

    3 point pin for a JD 709

    I have only searched by part number on the web, only three places come up all JD related. Tractor Supply sounds promising but I have yet to have the time to drive there. The old one is fine except it has looseened some and wobbles a bit. It will eventually start wallowing out the holes. I have...

    3 point pin for a JD 709

    Hello everyone, I am having a hard time finding a lower lift arm arm pin for my John Deere 709 rotary cutter/brushhog, I am talking the pin the lower lift arm slides over for mounting. The issue is that they are long, I need at least 6 3/4 length, the threaded side is the real problem because it...

    Cement Mixer Advice

    I had a HF one long ago and hated it. It mixes really slow and only holds a couple of bags. I can mix faster by hand with a wheel barrow. Most I ever mixed by hand is 45 bags and will never do it again.

    Review of string trimmer reviews

    I bought the newest STIHL battery homeowners model. The most frustrating pc of crap I have ever owned. Couldn't keep sting in it and the autoload feature never worked properly. I sold it at a loss on Craigs List. I now have a GreenWorks basic model, uses 80 volt battery, easy load works nice and...

    New alternator

    I have one on My 8N, sometimes it takes a drive around the barnyard before it gets going, that said sometimes it has to be jumped between two of the connectors to get it going again, especially if it sits for some time. There are post on here about which two connectors to jump, (Dell, an oldtime...

    Rear tractor tires

    I think the main consideration when buying tractor tires is who is going to put them on, especially if you want to load them, the Tire service outfits excell at it. My first call is to the local Tire service guy who can come out and get the job done, I have found them very competitive. If you...

    What do you think of electric chain saws?

    Another vote for th Echo 56 volt saw. You won't find a better battery saw. I have had it for about three years and have not used the gas saw since. It came with one battery and charger and I bought an aftermarket battery for it on Ebay cheap and it also works great. It is just a well engineered...

    How deep for post?

    "Any wood post over 4x4 next to a road needs to be drilled perpendicular to the traffic flow so it will break off if a car runs off the road per federal law." At first I also thought he meant "Drilledl" to mean inserting a post into the ground. But I think the meaning of that is that you...

    Yard security

    I use the Ring cameras, as far as I know they don't need a module. They work flawlessly and when they don't the customer service is excellent, they will sit on the phone with you to get connected if needed but normally they connect fairly easy. They have indoor which can be plugged in, The...

    Solar battery/maintainers

    I have been considering them for a couple of tractors that sit all winter, its a second home location and I worry about fire since I am not there all the time, what are the fire risks especially with critters that can chew thru wires and such? I can plug them in or possibly go with solar if safer?
