    A/T tires

    Nexen's came on the truck I have now, good all round tire. I didn't think they lasted very long so tire shop said BF Goodrich would last longer, no they won't. Had Toyo AT's on one truck, good on the road, sorry ass snow tire, didn't last no time.

    Opinions on PJ gooseneck vs Quality gooseneck

    I have a PJ, also have a friend that has one, both around 12/13 years old and I think they've been fairly good trailers. I have a PJ flat bed on my pickup that about 5 years old "2018" and I wouldn't buy another one. Rust coming through in a lot of places that really shouldn't be. Had a guy ask...

    Your Truck

    As my dear mother would say, "son, it's not what you see on the outside, it's what's on the inside that counts". ;-) :) Actually she normally would say something like, "get your feet off the couch" :roll: :lol:

    Your Truck

    Ya'll notice it's the ford owners who need multiple choices of the same vehicle, I guess if you want a ford for a daily driver, you need 6 or 7 of them to make it through the week. :lol:

    540 vs. 1000 rpm rotary cutters

    The old 6 spline 1-3/8, 540 rpm, pto is only good for handling about 80 hp, the newer 21 spline, !-3/8 shaft will handle about 200 hp at the pto. If your tractor puts out more hp than that, it should have a catogory 4 hitch and pto with a 1-3/4 20 spline shaft.

    Ford 5000 electrics problem

    One of our neighbors, a weekender, has a 4ft x 4ft solar panel that runs his hotwater heater, I could steal that sucker, mount on the hood of the tractor, probably charge the battery in a couple of minutes :) He's a federal court judge in DC, so if he caught me with it, I'm sure he would be...

    Ford 5000 electrics problem

    Tried this on the old one to see if it would help, it didn't. The new one didn't need it, it started charging as soon as the tractor started, when it quit, I tried it, but it made no difference.

    Ford 5000 electrics problem

    If I charge the battery with the charger, I can get about 10/12 starts out of it on cold days, when the engines cold, before it dies, without pluging in the block heater. So I think the battery good. Of coarse, when it's getting charged while the tractors running, I never have a problem starting...

    Ford 5000 electrics problem

    Got an old Ford 5000 tractor that stopped charging, It had a old rebuilt generator on it, so I replaced it with a new one, still didn't charge, so I got a new regulator, stuck that on and it was back to charging again :) . It worked fine for about a week of feeding hay, probably about only 4 or...

    Stihl fuel and oilcap design

    I carry an old paint brush with me, it gets right down in the grooves around the filler caps, cleans all the gunk out.

    John Deere

    Yeah, I thnk he was exagerating a little on the HP, after looking at the new ones, I figgered it more like a 45/50 HP. I didn't see a shuttle shift lever, but I didn't look at the tractor for very long as it was parked right on the side of a 4 lane highway with not much of a shoulder. I was in...

    John Deere

    Thanks for the help, don't think he would drop that low, he started out at $16500, had never priced a new one, just figured they would be more expensive than that. Still to tight to get a new one :) Will shop around some more though. Thanks

    John Deere

    Looking at a 1993 John Deere 5200 tractor; 60 hp?. 1900 hours; paint is faded pretty good so it sat outside a lot; has fairly new tires on the front; about half wore out tires on the back; John Deere front-end loader and factory hay spike. Any big problems with these tractors? Guy said I could...
