Thanks for the reply. It is always nice to know the outcome of problems so we can learn from it.

Farm living is the life for me, what a concept. My uncle has been getting paid to not plant his own fields, my gov. at work. He leases them to someone else and they pay him also.

Peters,

I would suspect you are right on both parts about the grinding.

Thank each of you for your input.

horse farmer,

I would think you would be legal to print bumper stiker with that on it. If anyone hollers, call the ACLU. Or how about that judge.

I really wonder when a person like that faces a real problem who they call on? Oh Judge, Oh ACLU? I have never heard of either of those used in an emergency room or the battle field.

There is NO WAY he is from W. Va. He has a few words in his posts that are spelled from the U.K. Australian or Canadian way of spelling and not the way we Americans spell anywhere here in the U.S.
Of course, not being from the U.S. he wouldn't know that.

She misses the Mustang GT Convertible she had. But when the kid showed up, the car had to go since it wasn't all paid for yet and we couldn't afford to have that and a real vehicle for a baby.

That Mustang was a fun car. We'll get another one someday assuming gas isn't $10 a gallon.

Just thought I would pass along an item which has made life so much easier for me this spring. We were converting about 10 total acres of brome grass into food plots and other habitat for pheasants. I purchased a 7 1/2 foot King Kutter box frame disc unit which weighs close to 900 lbs. We got the notched blades to help cut into the sod. What we found was that brome sod is much tougher than we thought. We could hardly penitrate the ground.<br>
<br>
I ordered a hydraulic top link from CMC Inc.. I got the unit that has cat 1 at the implement and cat 1&2 at the tractor end. My 4710 already had a pair of hyraulic outlets in the rear so hook up was a snap. <br>
<br>
I lowered the disc down into the sod and fully extended the hyrdaulic link and it dug into the ground like it was going into butter. I did have to use 4 wheel drive as the setup has the ability to lift the back wheels slightly off the ground (I have 400 lbs of wheel weights as well). I was sceptical about getting this at first but now I would not be without it. I can't wait to see how much easier back blading will be with this unit.<br>
<br>
Wish everything I bought to make things easier worked this well.

Not sure what your intentions are for the grain drill but if there is a Pheasants Forever chapter near you, they often have then available for rent. Depending on what your intended use is, this might be an option.

I just purchased a tractor called a kubota B1-14-D. Under the hood it is written in felt pen B6200. I have seen pics of the 6200 and it looks like the same unit. I need a gear for the transmission and need to know where to get it. The tractor only has 132 hours on it.

Just a different thought on this. There are a lot of used commercial mowers out there that are available at good prices. They are often the least desireable on a dealers lot and often can be bought for fifty cents on the dollar for there worth. Where you can mow at the higher speeds it's your option and where you need to be cautious you can.

You never know what you might find for a problem from one owner, to one model of tractor or make. We haven't seen any prevelent problems as you have descibed so it might be close to being a isolated problem depending on washing intervals and intensity. I have yet to find any repair that was needed to be enjoyable as it is like going to the doctors or dentists office for me and I always have`a different place for money in which I might find a small pleasure in life instead of possible pain. Just my feelings on that note but unless a company continually has equipment that needs updates shortly after the new releases would I worry. When the reason for the failure is found then the proper way to prevent a failure can be found.

Unlike the newer tractors were they are using a frame and compontents that are attached to the frame this is a built in system and it does require more information on the design to help you off the cuff so to speak. The older tractors used the castings as passages for the oil to componnents of the hydraulic system. It will take a good look at the service manual for the possible solution.

The brackets Art spoke of are near the back and towards the inside of the rear fenders. Just disconnect the lifting rods and re-pin them to the bracket holes.

I think by now you realize it will depend on your own case. I have mowed my lawn wiht a 6,000 lb tractor with water in rear tires and ag tires. Litle bit of mark made that in day or so gone.

I have used 2,000 lb with no water and ind tires and no marks on same yard.

I have used Z turn with turf on same with some sign left to no sign left.

For my use, the tires that cause the most problem are the front tires as you turn as they want to dig in. As to my experience, I did fine with all. That covers from wet heavy dirt to medium sandy loam.

One thing I found for myself regardless of the tire, if wet and soft, slow down. Speed damages.

The top link hole for a category 1 hitch is 3/4"(.750). If your sub-soiler has a smaller hole for category "O" [5/8"(.625)]you will use the smaller pin with a bushing having a 5/8"I.D. and 3/4"O.D. TSC and tractor dealerships will have this.<br>
<br>
Likewise if your tractor has a category 2 top link, it will have a 1" hole in it. If you have a sub-soiler with 3/4" hole (Category 1) you will put a 3/4" pin through it with category 2 to 1 reducer bushing. (1"O.D. x 3/4"I.D.)

You may find that a high volume leave blower like a Stihl may blow the stones off of the asphalt. <br>
<br>
I have smaller areas but use a Stihl yard boss which is a small tiller for $349.95 that has a PowerSweep attachment for an additional $179.95 which fits to it instead of the tiller blades. It is kinda like a drum with flaps. It only does about a 2 ft. section at a time. If your 10,000 sq. ft. is 20x500 you would have to take 250 passes for the 20ft. width. That is really time consuming!!!<br>
<br>
Every now and then at the shop we have a large staging area by the fab section. The asphalt is covered with weld scale, bits and chunks of steel, etc. We use a long length of hose from our air compressor with a long wand so the guy don't have to bend down. We call that the air sweep.

I went to Google.com and typed in used Yanmar FX17D parts and found 44 references, maybe one of them will have the part you need.

Hello,
This lever in front shhould normally have 2 neutral positions, and 3 speed postions. These mixed with the slow and fast lever give you six output rpm ranging from a little bit lower than 500rpm up to a little more than 1100rpm. I will take note of exact speed and send you it next week.
