    My new old 240D has some issues. Please, ideas, suggestions, input needed.

    I had a little "B" Allis back in the 80's, it was fun to play with but other than running the belly mower or towing something, it was of little value. Hand crank only to start it but it started very easily. I sold it for $400 when I got divorced, I think I had around $300 invested. My son has...

    why I have been quiet

    Brandi, we lost my Dad to cancer in 1997, that was very tough to witness. Sorry to hear you're having troubles with it all, I know how hard that can be and I feel for ya. My Mother is 78 and in very good health, very independent, and fiesty (thank goodness) And I also have siblings that are...

    1973 Grandville Conv.

    Paul, the old car gets better mileage that my 2001 Dodge Dakota pickup, the pickup gets between 16 and 17 mpg and the Pontiac gets about 18 (if you stay out of the 4 barrel)

    The 4th of July and what it means!

    Email I got today NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should run for President one day... 'We the sensible people of the United States, in...

    There is no fire at the plugs

    Do you have voltage at the points? Sometimes they aren't opening enough to create spark. Voltage to one side of the coil? It should turn on and off by the points opening and closing. Are the contacts inside of the distributor clean? I scrape turm with my kinfe so where they are somewhat...

    Tractor Detailing

    I like to keep all of my vehicles cleaned up somewhat. I tried to use the pressure washer on the radiator of the tractor-bent the fins, not a good idea. When it gets a dirty residue on the engine and moving parts, I spray it off. I even waxed it a couple of times before the new wore off...

    Ductape's New (to me) Kubota

    A co-worker bought a B-3030 with a cab a couple of years ago, he loves his. He said he purposely wait to mow until it's as hot as it'll get and mows in comfort. He said the heater really works well too. They were selling new for $18,950 for the tractor and the cab.

    What height do you cut your grass at?

    I have the riders set as high as they will mow and the rear finish mower set to match them. My guess is just over 4". While it's rainy, I mow once a week and it sure looks healthier cut higher. There has been massive flooding within 40 miles of where I live, taking the crops with it. The...

    Defected to here!

    I really wanted a grapple but now that I have the area cleaned up, I don't have the same needs. It does look intimidating though.

    At what Groundspeed do you mow?

    I go as fast as is comfortable on the tractor. I have high and low range with 3 gears in each. 3rd gear in low range seems to be the best speed, I can still get a good cut in 1st gear on the high range but my ground makes for a bumpy ride at the higher speed. My tractor runs the pto at 540 at...

    Hydraulic tilt and tip

    I want a hydraulic top link as well, not a huge priority because the box blade is my main reason to want one. I have seen several folks use 2 cylinders for the tilt function and have good results. During the summer months, I mount my finish mower and rarely remove it until the mowing is done...

    Wheelhorse

    The Husky is about 9 years old and still runs but is basically junk. The deck on the Wheelhorse is 36" and rear discharge, it would run a 60" very easily but this came with it. It's older, I got it used, not sure what year the tractor is, a friend gave it to me when he got divorced. I have a...
