    Gotta love living in the rust belt!

    2017 truck with 34000 miles getting all new brakes due to 'lot rot', dirt road, and winter salt. All 4 rotors and pads toasted.

    Compact tractors 40-55HP

    Absolutely love my Kubota L4060. Loader, QT forks and bucket. No cab because I drive around in trees a lot. 39hp and about 8000# with loader and loader rears, 4wd, hydrostat (bad left knee). Much nicer to drive than the old Case 430 which now is pretty much on rototiller duty. For serious...

    Wear on Front axle pivot

    Pivot pin was corroded and the hole in the axle oval on my B. Overbored the hole, put in a bushing, then replaced the pin with a hardened bolt, pressed fitted. Seems to work fine.

    New here - what tractor to get

    Buy a Massey 23x with a loader and don't look back. The Oliver is for farming, not really a utility tractor. Others have commented on the MM and Ford. There are a ton of Masseys, parts are easy and lots of reuse for many years. Personally i have been using a Case 430, but no loader or...

    love to see old iron put to a use. Down here in Armada, the ground has re-emerged from the lake bottom but still too wet to work. Strolling across the lawn will get you wet feet. I'm sure the 3 spring days the clay will be perfect to work will be during next week. How do I know? I will be...

    Farmall H Alternator conversion done

    Part number of the Hitachi? Can't quite make it out in the photo... Like to do this on one of my old machines. Fortunately it's a diesel so no coil issues.

    88 industrial hydrotrencher

    I agree about the restored value not being as high as repair cost. That being said, I like to resurrect some of the old stuff, knowing full well that it's for a hobby not for money. Otherwise I wouldn't have $3k in my 1/2 finished Allis B. If you were by SE MI I'd love to have it, could use...

    Even more from Fowlerville!

    Food was excellent and it was great to see Talers in person. Only wish I could have spent more time getting to know each of you better. Very diverse and yet very similar in some ways.

    Rainbow of tractor colors

    This time of year mine are mostly mud colored. 2 Allis orange of different shades, 1 case buff/oragne with silver wheels, and a shiny orange and black Kubota. Lots of Oliver green and rust implements.

    Interesting comparison test of penetrating oils

    had that problem here in SE MI a few years back. PB blaster, twisting, and a hammer eventually got the pin broken off. Actually ended up drilling it 1/2 way thru, couldn't get any closer to the receiver due to chain plates. Enlarged that hole to 3/8 then took a 1/4 rod, put it in the hole, and...

    Oliver Plowmaster

    On mine the cones are worn unevenly from running loose, and and sometimes the lip of the cone is cracked off. Toyed with the idea of welding them up, then sorted out the best couple sets for my 'user' plow. Does not look hard ot recreate but I don't have a home foundry....

    Kubota tractors

    Bought an L4060 last fall, 37 HP, hydrostat, PS, loader, 3 point, 1 remote, no DEF, regen system. My Case 430 has been started once since. Above the L40 series started to get DEF and as noted, that seems to be the weakness.

    Anyone remove hydraulics on Case 430?

    My 1964? 430 triple range has the dreaded hydraulic to rear end leak. When running the trans has a rattle. I suspect the shaft is the shaft is slightly bent. Rear end including that seal was rebuilt some years ago, leaked before and had a slow leak after that now is pretty serious, like a pint...

    Anyone remove hydraulics on Case 430?

    I will have to look. Need the PTO so that option is out. 3, point, linkage is worn, draft-o-matic spring broken, etc. Has always wanted to unload at the least touch, now it does not want ot go down and stay down, starting to get bounce if I don't hole dthe lever where I want it, etc. Lift...
