    Hornet/wasp killer?

    Red wasp are such a summertime nuisance in south Mississippi that the store-bought spray cans get expensive. I keep a one-gallon yard sprayer loaded with a mix of gas, diesel, and a splash of ATF. Will spray 10-12 feet. Has good knockdown and smells bad enough to keep them from coming back...

    How do you center a hydraulic rod on lathe?

    Hard to tell from the photos. Looks like the drive end is in a collet or tool holder of some kind and the tailstock has spur-drive center from a wood lathe supporting it. I am assuming you are just wanting to spin it for hand polishing with emory cloth and not tool work. The drive-end in your...

    970 Hydraulic Problems

    Thanks for the responses! Should I get a flow meter to verify or is there a way to visually inspect the pump for damage? Are there any other things I need to replace or address when changing the pump? I am assuming it also needs another fresh fill of Hytran? Scott

    970 Hydraulic Problems

    Have powershift 970 that is on the high side of all the serial number splits. This tractor stays hooked to a bushog and gets a couple of hundred hours a year. Have had a couple insults to the hydraulic system in the past few weeks and now have some problems. Had a brake line start leaking...

    OT, Cell Phone Tower

    See a lawyer. Lots of fine print in those contracts. Look specifically for language that gives tower company right of first refusal for any sale of property. This language may not only refers to the tower location but all attached parcels. Can ruin the title and/or loan value of the whole...

    Wire gauge

    I bought some of those on ebay. Made out of stainless for about $1. Have seen them in coastal bait shops for 3x the price. Sometimes buying is easier than making. Scott https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=jumbo+crab+bait+clips&_sacat=0

    JD 410 help

    Check for a pin where the F-N-R linkage goes into the back side of the valve. Mine had backed out once and caused symptoms like that. Difficult to see because of crud built up and it had moved upwards out of sight. If that's it, may need to drill everything out for the next size up of roll...

    Trying To Identify Super Major

    Trying to help some of my family with selling their father's equipment. I'm mainly red and green and know very little about the blue. This tractor is a strange one to me. Should be three photos attached. The hood and grill say Super Major. The only other identifying mark I saw was "COUNTY"...

    jd 410 back hoe reverser

    Check all the linkages to make sure every thing is moving as it should. When mine did that, it was a nearly invisible pin that had backed out of the linkage on the back side of the reversing valve. The inching pedal, the first part of the clutch pedal stroke is a hydraulic release. The...

    1070 3pt arms don't raise

    The first thing I would check is the control cable. Make sure the control is moving on the far end. Have had pins fall out and cables break. Scott

    jd 410 backhoe - no reverse or forward

    I had that happen suddenly. Was a pin that had fallen out of the shuttle linkage where it goes across the front of the transmission case. Was hard to see because of all the crud underneath. Verify the linkage is intact form the handle all the way to the valve. Scott

    howse bush-hog

    I've had an 8' heavy duty for about 12 years with very few mechanical problems. It's a single-spindle 3pt hitch. It has had heavy usage in brush and heavy grass. Many of the typical encounters with hidden stumps, large ant hills, bottoming out in ditches, etc have usually just resulted in a...

    Testing The Auto Parts Stores....

    I try to use the locally-owned Car Quest and Bumper to Bumper when I can. Old parts folks that know what it is and how to find it. It might not be on the shelf but they can have it first thing in the morning. I used to go to Orielley's if it was late or on the weekends. The last time I was...

    504/Disc Brake Spring

    Trying to fix the disc brakes on a 504. Had problems getting everything apart and off the tractor. As a result, I have no idea where the little springs that are attached to the inside of the drums hook on. I don't see an obvious place and the manual doesn't mention it. Thanks for your help...

    504 row crop hydraulic questions

    Mine has it on like yours. Books don't show any pictures of it and doesn't mention one way or the other. Capacity is supposed to be 13 gallons. Mine is a leaking piece of junk and has homemade loader mounts make the level plug hard to get to. I fill to about 8.5 inches below the top. I'm...
