    New project - 4WD Articulated Tractor

    Mith, Great stuff and a renewed science. Honestly, I don’t understand why most all tractors aren’t hydraulically propelled, steering braked and all wheel drive. With modern technology (and a basic and narrow minded ‘gripe’ of mine is) why more 4WD tractors don’t have all 4 wheels the same...

    Problem with JD 3140, 2WD

    Surging or eratic operation is often air...right? And from experience, i've had agitated fuel (mixed with air) create white smoke on startup. The culprit finally turned out to be a pinched 'O' ring at the fuel bowl. I tallowes just enough air to create surging - and proved to be a bugger to...

    Hoisting License

    I believe the requirements in Texas are "Operator Must be able to: See lightning - Hear Thunder - I’m all for public safety and operator awareness but find that (here) many county/state controls by regulations are more of a cash cow to generate income. Where I’m located, the biggest single...

    Garden Expansion

    Wow, Salt of the Earth stuff. Any man that can hunt, fish or harvest from his own garden is ready for anything. Personally, I’ll be growing the same thing I did last year. And once weeds (and no, not the smokin’ kind) become a profitable crop…I’ll be a rich man. I envy you guys and your...

    Anybody importing the AF models yet?

    Can’t say that I’ve seen any of the most popular dealer/importers bringing them in but I have seen a few (2) new potential owners asking questions. (Questions that go unanswered) The YM’s have had a good run but IMHO, the supplies are diminishing and the F and FX models are rapidly replacing...

    Air Filters - OEM Yanmar is much better than NAPA's 'will-fit'

    We had a model equipped with a permanet filter in our shop. I thought it was very dirty and packed with dust as the filter felt too heavy. After washing (as an experiment) we found it to weigh about twice that of the replacement filter ...and decided to install the original. I can't tell by...

    Yanmar - John Deere Turf Tires with Wheels and Hubs

    Ducktape, The asking price is more than fair and I’ve been checking with customers who may be interested. The fact that the tires are matched for rolling circumference on the 4WD's makes them even more valuable. I believe (think) they should match up with models that have the hexogonal rear...

    Air Filters - OEM Yanmar is much better than NAPA's 'will-fit'

    You'll have a blast with the little 1300. I did one nearly four years ago...was a broken down tractor with some serious problems, but most were cosmetic. Here's a picture - and I still have the tractor even though I've had some handsome offers.....I just keep it around for the little jobs :D!

    Air Filters - OEM Yanmar is much better than NAPA's 'will-fit'

    Exactly my thoughts....What did ya do - Keep the YM and sell the FX?? (I'm really bad about doing that)
