    Calcium chloride tire leak

    Our Case SC has wheel weights, so we don't have to load the tires, but we quit using calcium chloride a while back, after having to replace the rims on an IH 424 because of it. We started using windshield washer fluid, the kind designed for deep winters in upstate NY. Filled them ourselves. The...

    Eagle Hitch implement attachment

    I have several good excuses. For one, I've always been on the short side, and am even shorter now. And, I'm a bit... husky is what they used to call it. It's difficult for me to work the hand clutch while trying to eyeball behind me with any precision - my 72-year-old neck doesn't twist that far...

    Eagle Hitch implement attachment

    The guy in the manual seems to be able to do it. Maybe it's the hat.

    Eagle Hitch implement attachment

    I have my grandfather's 1952 SC and BER plow - and the manuals for them. The manual clearly states that an operator can hitch to an implement without leaving the tractor seat, and even gives illustrated instructions for doing so. I learned how to drive a tractor on this SC, and have been...

    Vintage Ford 2 row bottom plow

    That's only part of the model number, the component part. Oh, and the number starts with a 10 (ten), not IO. I know it looks like IO on the plate, but trust me, it's 10. You need the series number, as well. I'm no Ford plow expert, but I know there was a 100 series, a 101, a 110, and I believe...

    John Deere 290 Corn Planter questions Planting Sweet Cor

    The plate you use depends on the size of the seed. Different varieties are different sizes, and even the same variety can vary from lot to lot. Also, it depends on whether the seed is rounds or flats. Most seed companies will offer suggestions as to which plate to use, but not all. Sometimes the...

    poll on using sisal twine in balers

    Blue plastic on small squares here. Our old Oliver 62T was worn and fussy about twine thickness, had to be uniform. The sisal we used just wasn't consistent enough. Then came the day many years ago when a flood took out the sisal twine in a warehouse that supplied the whole area. Their plastic...

    Bought the baler. Got twine question or poll

    We use Ty-rite. The blue stuff, because we think it looks cooler than the orange one everybody else uses around here.

    Bought the baler. Got twine question or poll

    We used poly twine in our 62-T until it died this summer after an unfortunate failure of the shear bolt. We found that sisal was too uneven in thickness to work well. Bought a John Deere 336 to replace it, and put the poly in there, since that was what we had on hand. It tied without missing a...

    Plow question

    Reminds me of a rolling landslide from an Oliver Plowmaster, except that it's badly worn. It should still work, though. I modified my Case BER plow so it could use one of those when the rolling landslide on it broke up, mostly because I had it on hand. It's worked fine for about ten years now.

    Identify 3 bottom plow

    Sure looks like a Case BER to me. They were designed for the Eagle Hitch Tractors. The three bottom was for the DC, but if you take the third bottom off it works nicely with an SC. This one and my grandfather's SC have plowed hundreds of acres over the last 60 years. I did change the pins out...

    Help with identifying this please!

    The rake looks a lot like the John Deere 594LW that I still use, but a newer design. The "LW" in mine's model number indicates "low wheel," because the original 594 had high steel wheels. This one looks like it was designed for low wheels.

    Oliver plow master 100 rooster comb

    We've had several two-bottom Plowmasters and one three-bottom. The three bottom has a tail wheel (we still use it), but the two-bottoms all had rolling landslides. Don't feel bad. I plowed with one for fifty years, calling the wheel in the back a tail wheel up until a couple of years ago no...

    Case 2 Bottom Plow Parts Needed

    I have a BER plow that I use on an SC. It doesn't have the pivoting bar your photo shows, but does have a provision for swinging from side to side. The furrow wheel on the back kept the plow aligned with the tractor BTW, unless the attachment pins were changed, that plow would only work with an...

    Tedder brand ID

    Some of you may remember this photo, in another thread, of a tedder given to us by a neighbor who had to stop farming. It needed some tires, a basket bearing, and some tines. We identified it as a re-branded Kuhn GF440T, obtained the parts, and it's now doing a fine job for us. What's still got...
