    Position of loader

    Back many moons ago when I was doing excavating work, we always parked the loaders in front of our trailers with the bucket/forks resting on top of the trailer or jobbox if we had to leave it overnight. It never caused any problems, but then we never left them exposed more than a weekend or so...

    Need help...JD 158 loader cylinder.

    Not really, or at least on a tractor loader lift cylinder it does'nt. The only reason you would have a tube inside another tube is if it was a telescoping cylinder, such as those found on forklift masts and dump trucks. That allows you to obtain 30 ft of lift height from a 10 ft cylinder. As...

    Need help...JD 158 loader cylinder.

    There will be an o-ring on the piston, which is the part that rides up and down the inside of the cylinder bore and is attached to the chrome rod. More than likely, somehow the piston was pushed back too far and the o-ring got caught on the threaded hole in the side of the cylinder barrel, thus...

    2008 Superduty WOW

    Arent we still in year 2006? And they are already talking up the 2008 models? And did anyone notice that these trucks will be available in "very early january 2007" but will still carry the 2008 year distinction? So could you actually sell it in late 2008 as a current yr model, even though...

    Will someone please

    So the fuel pump, ac compressor and the torque converter went out at less than 100k miles, and you're bragging bout how great a truck this is and what a friend the dealer is? I got a 2000 F-250 which has never seen a dealer and is just getting broke in at 150k miles. Probably been lucky, but...

    Kubota 70/40 vs John deere 5403

    What world are you guys living in where the Kubota's don't hold their resale value? Check the newspapers and you'll see asking prices for Kubota's very much in line with the Deere values. Used green machines may sell for a little more when they are 10 yrs old, but you also paid alot more for it...

    whats a good speed for drilling metal?

    If this is a problem you have frequently, then you might want to invest in a (less than $100) Kool-Mist system. It has a magnetic air nozzle and mixes oil and water together and sprays directly on your drill bit. If you use the drill press often enough, it will pay for itself. Not to mention it...

    Long, dead I wish forgotten

    Flaboy....responses like that are what have driven me away from the beginners forum and the coffee shop and directly to the Trucks/Tractors and Pastures/Grasses forum when I log in each morning. Your response was very helpful (or at least it appears to be) and made without malice towards the...

    Tractor dies, but then starts again????

    J- you might want to think about throwing a small extinguisher behind the seat or somewhere if possible. Theres a thread from a few months ago about a few tractors catching fire out in the middle of the hay fields and there being no water around anywhere. Once they catch fire out there, they're...

    patching pin holes in water tank

    Or tig weld it. Tig welding is what you use to weld very thin sheetmetal. I've tig welded many a water trough / radiator / guard and no telling what other kind of junk for guys over the yrs. If its bigger than a pin hole, just cut a piece of flat metal and weld completely around the "patch", and...

    hagglin with the salesman

    Very well said Chuck, especially the service dept point. With the internet nowadays, it's pretty hard to overpay by too much. Just find you a good tractor site, and ask a few folks in there what the going rate should be on the equipment you're looking at. And you can also email a few dealers...

    ALO Loader

    Sry to just now get back to this guys. What I did was take a piece of 3/4" plate, the same dimensions as the back side of bucket ( about 18" x 60" ?) or so. I then formed up some U channels from 1/4" flat material, about 12" long, with the i d of the channel just a little larger than the...

    Finished 3-point sprayer

    Yes, please get a pic ASAP. I am interested also. I converted my pull behind 30 gal sprayer that I pull behind my 4 wheeler into a 12 ft boom sprayer, but as you stated, it didnt really work too well in the pasture. It worked great in my lawn area, but the roughness of the pasture just beat the...

    ALO Loader

    I took my bucket off a couple yrs ago and made a large plate (3/4") and welded some sleeves on it where the tractor loader arms attatch. It fits right where the bucket mounts up to. I then drilled some holes for arms to use to pick up round bales with. Then I machined down the top and bottom...

    OH MY....so many to chose from.......

    Be sure and hop on the Massey and drive it around a little bit before making decision. I was led to the MF because of the prices, but I am kind of a big guy, and it was a very uncomfortable and tight ride for me in the few Masseys I checked out. Ended up buying the Kubota 4 yrs ago, and never...

    DeepRock

    I just had a well drilled about a yr ago for my sprinkler system and for the cows. City water here is outrageously expensive, so we only use city water for the house. We had to go about 225 ft deep, and it was almost $5000. But that included the pump, casing, 110 gallon storage tank and all...

    tractor caught on fire

    Good point Bama....a tractor on fire, in the middle of a hay field, probably a good ways from house/barn, even longer ways from water hose / faucet. Not a good scenario to think about! Imagine the cut grass would go up fairly quick once it got going. Think I might throw one behind the seat next...
