    Troy Built Horse Question...

    i see matthies has responded. yes, look for some adjustment first. small adjustments make a big difference. i think other belts will work. plenty of troybilt tiller sites to check too. keep every moving part lubed ... i've had good luck using dry lube on the slides and joints. there can...

    Yesterday's shop project...

    hadn't thought about this in decades! dug it outta the back back room. very pretty tool! the box was shipped by sb to raytheon in oxnard, ca. no date. the threads on the lead screw measure 10" .... so too short. maybe a 9" lathe or something custom for raytheon. among too many other...

    Yesterday's shop project...

    hi wore out, nice job. i have a 'champion' 16" lathe from the 1920's that i rebuilt. i might have a brand new, in the crate, south bend cross slide with lg dial, handle and lead screw for that lathe. i picked it up from a local salvage guy for a project never completed and will probably...

    ryobi 'tractor'

    very tempting to automate .... and imagine a sulky! ... and trailer. the 'thumb drive' on the handle makes it easy to operate from the side. some fast hopping on sharp turns though.

    ryobi 'tractor'

    haven't posted in a while and hope the photos work. off topic so i'll include a photo of my dear old workhorse ford backhoe. i've been experimenting with my ryobi 40v mower. i fastened an old spring tooth harrow behind and attacked the yard and driveway weeds. it did ok ... and would...

    Electric walk behind mower

    not a push but i've had my ryobi 40v self-propelled 21" for a year and really like it. very nuanced control. i believe they have now come out with an all-wheel-drive ... which i can see as possibly handy on anything but dead flat lawns. i do about a half acre weekly. it usually has enough...

    Ford 4000 1960 s?

    looks like my ford 4000 backhoe but the cowl / lights are a bit different. had mine for 50 years and i used it yesterday after a long hiatus. usually starts on the first revs but had to charge it this time. yes it seems to be referred to as 'industrial'. years ago the dealers seemed to...

    2023.01.17 "Extra" Pic

    nice spot and collection. it appears he's used the same system of lighting that i used in an open but very dark, high, 'shed' next to my shop. i strung utility light lines from the ceiling and used double sockets for each socket with led's. brilliant light and cheap. i did the same thing...

    Quote

    it's a really important and contradictory issue. perhaps it's only tractor related in that it's tractors that significantly ended human and animal labor that shortened lives ... and still does in many places. i hesitate but will include the similar ironic admonition over the gate to auschwitz...

    2022.11.02 "Extra" Pic X2

    i often mention to folks that i remember horse drawn milk wagons. cream on top too. becker farm. i grew up 25 miles west of nyc in caldwell, n.j.. late 40s ... and grampa would pick up the manure in the street for the garden. also ...

    Sealing seams in steel hydraulic tank

    not answering your question re sealant which should be ok too ... all the above can work. even the flux core works. go slow and add a quick spot on the edge of the pin hole, let cool, clean, spot again til the area is complete. if the hole is small enough you can often plug it in one shot...

    Its not a tractor,,but,,,a nice old IH pickup

    fun and thx. a nice restoration too. i still have a '52 l-160 that i used way back. it's rusty but quite solid. i'd replaced the bed and added a pto dump hoist. went through 2 junk yard engines and now it sits awaiting my imagined attentions. probably not gonna happen but i get inspired...

    Love my Super C

    boy can i relate. i have a ford 4000 diesel with loader and hoe. the loader frame is exactly in the line of the battery box access. for 40 years i've had to remove the fuel tank et al to access the battery .... seems like every 5 years or so. i've left the outer sheet metal off for decades...

    2022.01.18 Tractor Pic

    nice to see what they first looked like. i have a 4000 from early 60s ... diesel w/ backhoe and loader. had it since the 70s and still ever so handy. painted it all gray a few years ago ... the 4th time painted. seems to me there was some original blue on it though ... with 'yellow'. will...

    It would be interesting...

    i can't believe i actually recognized the spot ... looked so familiar. it's the old tractor repair and dealer in fillmore ca. the google street view seems to indicate it as 449 ca hwy 126. i knew the front but wasn't sure about the quonset construction. funny how you miss the details of...

    43 Year Goodyear Tires

    pretty new here but enjoying it more all the time. just read that there may be changes with a new owner but hope for the best. i was equally amazed when i replaced the rears on my early 60s ford 4000 backhoe. i'd never changed them and i've owned it since the 70s. they held air but were...

    Shooting Rustoleum

    new member here. i just did my ford 4000 backhoe with rusto. i used to use thinner ... i've painted it 4 times over the 50 years i've had it. somewhere, maybe here, i read to use acetone to thin. worked very well. it doesn't take much ... maybe 5-10% .... but guessing and depends on...

    thx all. i seem to learn as i go and have picked up a few skills along the way. this site and others are rich sources. i think i remember reading your repair but could have been others. it was a tricky repair ... a blind solder joint where 2 joints needed to be completed at the same time...
