    JD 850 Brakes ??

    https://www.hoyetractor.com/brakes.htm This is one of the U Tube I watched since the 850 was made by Yanmar. By Googling John Deere 850 brakes you will come up with others and they all have their good points. Be careful buying aftermarket shoes as some don't fit, don't ask me how I know this...

    JD 850 Brakes ??

    I just went through the job on the brakes of my 850. It isn't a bad job , I watched a couple U Tube videos and they helped a lot. On one of mine the anchor pin was stuck tight but with heat it came loose ok. I did take the wheel off before attempting the brake job and it made it so much...

    Jd 205 gyramoer rotary cutter

    I haven't gotten my Gyramor home from the consignment yard yet but looking at it I plan to revise the brackets that the crank adjustment used to mount the cylinder. On yours perhaps you could fit a cylinder where the turn buckle is now even if you had to change the brackets a little bit. I...

    Jd 205 gyramoer rotary cutter

    Thank you gmcdeadhead I love corn head grease and have it in some gear boxes here too. I suppose to much horse power is the enemy of old gear boxes. I want to set mine up for a hydraulic cylinder since the adjusting crank is missing. Thanks again Larry

    Jd 205 gyramoer rotary cutter

    Wow, I want to thank everyone for the pictures and valuable tips. Sure is nice to see these vintage implements still at work and looking to be in very good shape too. I rather doubt my 520 or your 50 would have enough power to do much harm to the cutter like it could putting a 90 hp tractor...

    Jd 205 gyramoer rotary cutter

    Levibridge I am real interested in your 205 gyramor since I bought a 127 gyramor yesterday. I think the 205 is a newer model up from the 127. Mine is wheel carried and is what I wanted to pull with my 520. I wonder what others think about adding a over running clutch to the pto shaft on...

    JD Hillside hitch

    Thank you for posting the selling price. Perhaps there are lots of folks who don't know what the hitch is or was used for ? I hope it went to a good home where it will be put to use. Thanks again

    JD Hillside hitch

    That hitch sure looks like the one here that was on my Dad's John Deere A. We had couture strips and that hitch really helped a lot making for a good plowing job. I would be very curious what that hitch sells for or just how many people know what it was used for. Thank you for posting the picture.

    The hoist is a Midwest WH 5 rated as a 5 ton capacity. I would call that max and on level ground with a load that would come off even so it doesn't twist the hoist frame. The 1065A running gear is some where around a 6/7 ton gear but of course some have been badly abused. I felt so bad...

    Generous Grandson

    Thank you for the kind words. Every year I build 2 or 3 wagons with a hoist to sell and have come to use only Deere 1065's because they sell well. I have trouble posting pictures but will open my email and if you answer to it I will send you pictures. I sure hope My Grandson and his wife...

I expected nothing for helping the young man out from...

    Wagon Hoist Update

    Thank you everyone for the most kind words I sure appreciate both them and the help I received here at YT. Way back when a neighbor that did custom silo filling had two wagons with a hoist and high sides they worked ok but the guys at the silo didn't like them because if the load started to get...
