    Kubota L4150N shuttle cable

    Have a L4150DTN Kubota that the shuttle shift cable broke. Called all the dealers/parts places and am told that part (part number 32583-22730} is discontinued and no longer available. Is there anywhere/anyone that I can find that part from? Or perhaps someone who can make a replacement...

    900HC restoring?

    Not trying to make any money. Just want to have fun, and needed to rescue what could be a nice tractor from a dismal fate. I gave the guy who had it $500, so hopefully I didn't "overspend"....!

    900HC restoring?

    Last fall I acquired a 1988 JD 900HC with the Yanmar diesel. The basic tractor is decent, and am considering restoring it. However, the engine is froze......tight. It was tragically left outside by the previous owner, and rain/water got into the engine. When I drained the oil, some of it was...

    D2 cat

    Whoops, my bad. Yes, the decompression lever was in use. Upon getting the pony started and pinion engaged, the decompression was activated at that time. When things got to turning over, the decompression was placed in "compression mode" and she started the process of warming her old cold bones...

    D2 cat

    All is now well, after trials and tribulations. Started out the other day to see if one could get the old Cat running. First, the battery for the starter on the pony was dead, and shot. Wouldn't take a charge. Wrapped rope around original "starter" and no start. Found points corroded...

    D2 cat

    Thanks all, for your input. It has helped. Issue is, I'm trying to help a friend who's father owns the D-2. Beautiful little "kitty" and he's owned it for most of his life. He thinks it's around a 1945 vintage. He's now 94 and can't get on the Cat anymore, so the son is trying to get it...

    D2 cat

    For those who might have an older Caterpillar D2 (late 40's early 50's) a question was brought up at a get-together the other day, and I thought I'd see if anyone here might have an answer! Question was, if you have an electric start pony motor, is there any reason the pinion from the pony...

    Trying To Solve An Electrical Problem On A TO20

    Dave, I just re-read the post and noticed that you said "after cranking for 15 seconds" in the statement. 15 seconds is a LONG time to be cranking. If it hasn't started in about 5 seconds, then it needs a tuneup, or something else. Especially if it has been converted to 12 volts and the...

    Trying To Solve An Electrical Problem On A TO20

    Hi Dave M56. I have a TO20 like you. Great tractor. First question, what is a reasonable price? If it runs, and basically everything else is OK other than your "electrical" then that is a good start. Now, to your electrical. You don't say whether the battery gets hot while cranking the...

    TO-20 ready

    Well, a few months and many hours later, my 1951 TO-20 is about ready for it's debut at the Great Oregon Steam Up the end of this month. Of course, it helps that the featured tractor this year is Ferguson (yes, yes, as well as Ford/Ferguson, and Massey-Ferguson). The only thing I'll be lacking...

    Re: Ferguson tractor deal

    Hi Hickdaddy. Regarding the question as to my location, I am west of Portland, and just north of the Sunset Highway, in what is known as the Helvetia area, yes, just south of the Helvetia Tavern! Farm country....for now. But development is encroaching, day by day. The big Ronler Acres Intel...

    Re: Ferguson tractor deal

    Back last fall, I posted about a possible tractor purchase, a 1951 TO 20 Ferguson that my neighbor was going to sell me for $1000.00. Well, after thinking about it all winter, I finally pulled the trigger and bought the tractor. It starts and runs good, and everything on it works pretty well...

    Ferguson tractor deal

    Yes, it runs quite well. The tires, while older, are in decent shape. A little age checking, but nothing serious. It does have a nice 5 foot blade with it. Also the draw bar as mentioned, and another set of arms that are shorter, apparently for pulling a different implement. As to whether I...

    Ferguson tractor deal

    My neighbor is cleaning out his shop. He has offered me his Ferguson tractor. He THINKS it is a TO20, and is around 1953? It starts and runs good, all mechanics including hydraulics work good, very minimal oil leakage (a few drops) original lights, badges, etc. Still the original 6 volt...
