    Short syrup season

    We have been in a deep freeze for the last several weeks, it finally warmed up and the trees began to run. Ran good for two days and has all but quit. Looking ahead we are heading for 50+ for the next week. Compared to last year, we started 2 and a half weeks late and looks like it will end a...

    Cleaning combine -MF300

    One of the things that didn't get done was a proper cleaning of the thresher. On the 6600 I had it wasn't terrible because I could access it through the front and blow it out the back. Not really seeing away to do that on this MF. Thoughts / something that worked for you? On another subject...

    New Holland 66 baler

    Got a couple NH 66 balers sitting here. One has the input shaft snapped off at the flywheel, the other someone went through an tried to fix the knoters (new bill hooks). Tried to run some hay through it but one side refuses to tie. So I get to looking and the metal part of the plunger is...

    Case 730 Gas - Clutch / PTO seal question (long)

    Ok so I have made room in the shop for the newly aquired 730. Do not have my book yet so it was more getting ready for the split than anything else. I pulled the clutch inspection expecting to see an oil soaked clutch (I had just drove it 125’). When it appeared dry as a bone, I pulled the...

    Speaking of grain screens

    Was reading below about the different screens which raises a question. I run a MF300, I run corn and soy. I was thinking of rotating in some wheat this fall and may would like to do some oats. Reading the book it mentions round and slotted sieves to get a cleaner gain, but doesn't say I need...

    730 engine weight

    Recently acquired a gas 730 and I am going to split it. I have a 1 ton overhead hoist that I have used to split ford utility tractors and pulled big block motors with (I beam with rollers). Trying to figure out if I remove the font wheels and bolster from the engine, what the engine alone would...

    Case 730 series clutch seals

    Looked at a 730 that is filling the bell housing with hyd fluid. Searched the archives and see the drive for the PTO is through the trans input shaft. I also see this is somewhat common with age and the seal and or o-rings on this shaft have gone south. Couple questions, Are the seal / parts...

    Case 30 series question

    Could someone help understand what I am looking for. I see a case o matic that has a torque converter and a Dual range with a clutch on tractor data web site. Can I safely assume the if it is not a case o matic that it is a standard clutch setup? Is there something I can look for on the tractor...

    For sale cheap or Free to a good home?

    One 7/8 x 218" belt with two good ends........ Threw the shaker/walker belt on my MF 300. Didn't catch it until it plugged the cylinder. Got her all cleaned out but saw the walkers were not doing their thing. Belt looked right but nothing was a turn'n. Clean break almost looks like it was cut...

    Chris95 Your MF 300 combine

    Chris, while looking for a picture of the chopper belt routing I see yours has the chopper. Could I trouble you for a picture? I see by the picture you posted a few days ago I am missing an idler. I could use a picture of the routing up around the counter shaft and Main idler plate. The belt...

    PC Preferences

    I generally use a computer for quick reference in the shop. For a while I had an old desk top but it sacumed to the poor conditions in there. So I swicthed to a laptop. Again the poor conditions in the shop and barns were hard on it. I recently acquired an older I-pad. Can"t really do much with...

    3 Pt sprayer and a 1964 4cyl 4000

    I have a 100 gallon sprayer currently it is on it own wheels. I have acquired a beefy carry all that will easily hold the weight. I looked up the 3pt specs an it says it good for lifting 1200+ lbs. I figure I can use stay chains to keep the weight off the hydraulics when in use so the bouncing...

    Bummer.

    I didn’t check the PTO clearance on the implement prior to going to the field. At least it was only a $60 mistake. And no that is not an illusion, that sucker it bent. Had to beat it off the end of the PTO shaft with an air hammer.

    Bugger’d up PTO shaft

    At the end of last season I found a bolder in the ditch along the road. It ki11ed the tractor when the mower got on it. When I went to drop the mower I noticed the PTO shaft didn’t want to slide back but didn’t really pay it no mind. Well this year it didn’t want to move at all. On closer...

    McCormick MF Drill question

    I have a 13/7 MF drill. On the back the dial shows the seetings for wheat, oats, barley, and a few others. But states for anything else to consult the book. A book I do not have. I would like to know the settings for soybeans if someone has a book and would be willing to share.

    Ford 4000 4cyl overheating

    I was plowing with a 2/16 in old sod. After a couple hours it acted like I had fouled the points. Put in the spare set and went about my biz. Hour or so later again like it fouled the points again. This time I hear a gurgling like sound I thought was the rad. Turned out it was the classic...

    Corn planter question

    Years ago when we ran field corn for cattle feed, we had a 4 row combine head and 4 row planter. With 4 rows the setup had two rows inside the wheels of the tractor and two out. We stopped doing cattle and got rid of the combine and planter. We plan to raise feed again but mostly for chickens...

    Wonder what this is going to cost?

    Mom got a summons and we are being sued by Bank of America for $150,000. I thought at first it was just a scam when she called. A "We're suing you call this number and provide your personal info" kind of deal, but it turned out to be real. If I read it right they have foreclosed on the...
