    Inherited a older Ford Tractor from my dad

    Ps ! That little pic by my name, that is a culmination of decades of playing with these and is a little of everything demonstrating how long lived these were, the trans is a 640, the engine is a 192 out of a forklift, the last iteration of this engine family and its largest displacement. The...

    Inherited a older Ford Tractor from my dad

    The model number is pretty irrelevant, you are as likely to have an 841 with a swapped hood or merely an emblem as 600 series with a swapped motor. The diesel is solid, I pulled with one a lot of years, they will run far past where they should and can be kept operable very cheap. They also...

    Please tell me if this is a fair price for a 2016 BRANSON-backhoe/loader

    Fair but not a deal, if you are paying cash great, if you are financing you likely can do better new with the rate and the warranty security you are getting. Home use yes, my experience however is have a solid understanding of what you expect the machine to do. As a loader/hoe you have a power...

    Early JD 310C brakes dragging

    LOL, love you guys, so what you are saying is instead of $600 worth of JD parts I need to spin it to the wife as I spend $1000 on a decent small bench lathe, but of course that could save me $1000's over the next decade. After 30 years she is quite used to these type proposals, this one might...

    Early JD 310C brakes dragging

    Early JD 310C brakes dragging

    Guys this is a huge help, mg awesome, now I understand the why of the adjusters and that feedback could only come from a tech, nothing in the net told me there was an update. I am not going to focus on the 5/16 hole yet as I can verify I am not getting oil dripping out the master cyl outlets...

    Early JD 310C brakes dragging

    Those are the bolts that are not installed, this unit has plain cap screws with orings. I’m hoping to find an old jd tech that knows why and if they are something that can be converted, or need to be. On the brake valve I need to study the adjustment bolts a bit more to understand what I’m...

    Early JD 310C brakes dragging

    Hello, I have a JD 310C hoe that is an early production VIN. I recently purchased it, during the check out the brake pedals were rock hard with no brakes. The seller stated they were blocked off and he would be fixing the brakes. The next week he called and said it was ready and dropped it...
