Get the bucket flat then drop it a couple a degrees and lower it down to depth. Nice and slow and you can get a full bucket before too long. Be very careful adjusting the bucket when you are rolling. It is easy to dig in and take out a big gouge, or to have it rolled back and just skid across the surface. |

The Cub got a ride back to the house yesterday. I needed to do some work on stuff, and it's easier and a heck of a lot more convenient when it's in the garage and not 20 miles down the road.
There was some blow-by smoke coming out of the oil fill cap, which the interwebs says is likely due to a clogged breather tube between the air cleaner and the block, so I started pulling that off. Seems that somebody forgot an important part of an oil bath air cleaner... 
I couldn't get the breather tube off without pulling the whole air cleaner assembly off, so I soaked it all overnight in some water and dish soap just to clear all the gunk out. 
I think whoever repainted it last forgot to degrease before painting too, since it all started peeling off. So I'll get to find out how close the "Farmall Red" at Fleet Farm is when I get back from drill this weekend. I was meaning to find out anyway! |

I really dislike oil bath air cleaners just for the simple mess it makes esp if you are on any searious incline or something, My first car 1951 ford with flathead v8 had one and that damn thing held about 2 quarts of oil. the next powerplant it gets wont have a oil bath |

Spread some fertilizer on the hay fields 2 weekends ago... $970 later I got finished up with 25 acres and dropped off the spreader at the salesman's farm only to discover my left rear wheel was slipping off the axle
on my Farmall 806. The wheel and rim are held in place with a clamp with a U shaped bolt that must not be torqued down correctly, so, that'll be on my list of things to do next week along with seeding some ground I worked up with the disc for more hay field. I'll post some pictures of the repair process, and the seeding when it happens. |

You need a big ass cheater bar and a 3/4 inch drive ratchet with the appropriate socket (think it's a 1 and 1/6 socket or something oddball like that). |

Not a tractor, but changed the blades on the mower today. I do it twice a year and there's always a mess under there. I've only mowed once this year so most of this is last year.

Today I used it to clean our burn site out. scoop it up drive 1/2 mile threw the field to dump then repeat. I have been picking rock past few days for my FIL using a Deere 4840 and recently got to fart around with a big case 9280 getting it ready for field work. also had to repair the door on the case and replace an alternator on one of the 4840 in the fleet |

I really gotta get a tractor with a front PTO one of these days, or a swivel seat in the Deere.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LOW50S:
is that stand for the deck built into the deck? or is that something they sell you secondhand? the maintenance axles for my kubota's MMM (mid-mount mower) deck were purchased from a third-party. they consist of a pair of steel axles and a total of 4 wheels. the maintenance axles temporarily replace the rear (trailing) anti-scalp wheels, and when in place allow you to stand the deck up. they are held in place by the same means that you adjust the height on your anti-scalp wheels (typically a cross-pin and retainer). when you are done storing or working on the deck, you tilt the deck over, remove the maintenance axles, and re-insert the anti-scalp wheels. in practice, it helps to tilt the deck over onto a small pile of 2x6's such that the rear of the deck is supported by the wood. this makes it easy to remove the maintenance axles and such. see http://moweraxle.com/tractorstands/kubotastands.html that same company makes them to fit kubota, deere, and other brand MMM decks. http://moweraxle.com/photos.html in fact, i would think that you can call those folks and they would mix-and-match parts to fit ANY MMM deck. i use the maintenance axles to store my deck vertically during the winter, and obviously to facilitate working on the deck (like greasing, changing blades, etc). they really make working on the deck at least 87 times easier and i very much recommend obtaining a set (either commercial version or DIY). you can also make a pair of stands if you have suitable machining equipment and some time on your hands. ETA not all MMM gearbox seals are created equal. some folks on TBN have reported seeing a few drops of oil under the jackshaft when the MMM is stored vertically. i have not had this problem, but if you scroll back in this thread you will notice the pair of paper towels pre-positioned under the jackshaft when the MMM is in it's storage position in the shed....

I don't have any pics, but I am amazed at how many tasks one can use a grapple for.
I (don't ask why) for some reason disconnected my tiller under the porch instead of the shop. It is so uneven on that side of the house where it slopes away I could never have reconnected it. So after chewing on my stupidity a bit, I decided to neck up and just grab it. It was pretty cool lifting that 6ft tiller with my loader and backing it out to level ground. For those of you who don't have a grapple, I highly recommend one. |

Slip on pallet forks, or chain hooks welded on the top of a bucket are the poor man's grapple... ETA; On page 10 of this thread there's a picture of a large loader bucket on a snowy road that has 2 chain hooks welded to it on either end. They're EXTREMELY useful, and I'd recommend it to anyone with a front end loader with a bucket. We use them at work for everything from setting inlet tops in the ground to pulling out stuck vehicles. I'll get some better pictures on Sunday. |

I recently finished rebuilding the 18hp Onan on my newest tractor. Previous owner did god knows what and broke a con rod, had mud in that cylinder as well but the other was perfect. It still ran on just the one cylinder BTW, luckily the dead one had no damage from when the con rod broke, two small spots of light pitting from the idiot just leaving it as is for as long as it took to sell it. But it cleaned up nicely after a hone job.
*shrugs* nearly $800 invested in the complete rebuild and some other fixes, like new front tires and rims, battery, belts, led headlights and such. Now it purrs like a kitten!

The big tractor exploded, had to drag round bales around with the little one.
A little bit of a pain, but it worked, the tractor didn't seem to mind.
