    JD 800 Windrower Question

    I have a follow-up question specifically about the JD 800 (or 830) windrower. As these are chain drive machines, what is the braking mechanism? I looked at the OM online and see that there is a park brake, but the OM made no mention of how you stop the machine while operating it. Do you reverse...

    Windrower/Swather Options

    What would be out there in the way of a 10 foot swather/windrower, self propelled or pull-type? Looking for make and model options. I don"t mean a mower/conditioner, but a windrower for cutting small grain before combining. Thanks for the help.

    Anyone have any first-hand experience using the auger-type of vertical hay elevator? I"m speaking of the type that mounts on the side of a barn with twin augers that move small bales up into the hay mow, usually to transfer them to an overhead conveyor. Owatonna (OMC) made a model 305. We...

    24T Tucker Fingers Question

    I have intermittent tying problems with my 24T baler that, when I check the troubleshooting section in my manual, could be caused by tucker fingers not being adjusted correctly. I"ve made the adjustment, but there seems to be a lot of slop/play in the tucker fingers. How tight should things be...

    Anyone have any knowledge on the Ford gas engines used in the 3510--4510 Gehl skid loaders during the early 90s? Just wondering how many hours they normally last and if there are major issues to watch out for. I imagine it"s all how they are taken care of during their life...are the engines...

    Possible Scam?

    Maybe I"m just cynical, but I"m looking for input on a situation. I have a tractor for sale on Craigslist for around $6000. I got a call from someone about 5 hours away (not Nigeria, I don"t think) that wants the tractor. That"s great, but they can"t come right away to get it...probably a week...

    OT- Head Gate Question

    I"m looking for suggestions or plan sources for making a movable cattle-size chute for mounting a head gate.

    #1 Southern Yellow Pine

    After a lot of thought on what wood to use for rebuilding a New Idea spreader, I special ordered some southern yellow pine from my local Menards (big home improvement chain in the Midwest). The wood was labeled #1 grade, so I had expected that it would be nearly knot free and overall nice...

    Cause for Angle Grinder Burn Out

    I had a 4-1/2 inch Milwaukee angle grinder that had the motor start growling and smoking when I was using it. I had been using it for a while and the motor case was warm, but I made the mistake of thinking a Milwaukee would hold up in some extended grinding. I"ve replaced the grinder with...

    Can anyone with access to New Idea Lot data tell me how many years the model 351B spreader and variations were made? It appears based on AGCO parts catalogs that the lot numbers were: 351 LOT 786 (only?) 351A LOT 794-- 351B LOT 797-- Just wondering how many years these were made and how...

    Oversize Plywood Question

    What"s the largest 3/4 inch treated plywood that"s readily made today? I"ve found 4x10x3/4 treated available from Menards (midwest home big box). I"ve got a spreader that needs a floor, but it would need a 5x12 panel to do it in one piece (it"s about 52"x140" actual). Does 5x12x3/4 plywood even...

    Seller Who Doesn't Get Around To Selling

    Has anyone ever encountered someone who seems too lazy to get around to selling you something? A while back I had a guy answer a Craigslist ad for something that I was looking for. Called him, he sent me pictures, and I told him I was interested. A couple of parts were missing, and he was going...

    Backpack Sprayer Recommendations

    Just looking for some input on a good battery-powered backpack sprayer. Don"t really want a hand pump backpack sprayer if there are reliable battery-powered sprayers out there. I"ll be using it mostly around buildings and on hillsides places where a ATV sprayer, etc., can"t reach easily.
