Nice tractors. I believe front wheels were Flambeau Orange like the tractor. Although some restorations people paint the centers orange and the rim silver. The pictures are great too.

Shop around. Messick’s shipping is overpriced. Check reviews on here about it. Even try calling your local dealers, mine has prices for parts that is competitive or cheaper than Messick’s, they may be cheaper on shipping due to location. Coleman Equipment is another online option...

Kubota backhoes Do Not require rear remotes, they use a dedicated pair of lines, 1 pressure,1 return. These lines are constantly flowing pressurized hydraulic oil and must be connected together when removing the backhoe.

This popped up in my Facebook Marketplace feed today. Don’t know anything at all about it but thought someone might be interested in it. https://www.facebook.com/share/19AJhcgxgo/?mibextid=wwXIfr

On my B2920, I use the loader and a chain to pick the mower up and then use my impact wrench to remove the blades. With the impact wrench, the bolts spin right off without having to block the blades. Put them back on the same way. The vent in the gearbox will not leak out any gear oil as long as...

Another thing to consider, if you are going to be welding outside or working on old rusty equipment, a stick welder will perform better. MIG welding doesn’t work well in the wind because the wind blows the gas away. For older, rustier equipment, stick welding with 6011 rod works much better. On...

Before spending money on a machine, find a way to try your hand at welding. Whether it be a neighbor that lets you try or taking a class at a community college or a Vo-tech center. You might find that you like stick better than mig or vise versa. You might find you hate doing it. That way, you...

You seem bent on going right to buying expensive diagnostic equipment without doing the simple stuff first. Check clutch and changing filters should be the number 1 priority. Doing high dollar pressure testing is a complete waste of time and money if the clutch is bad and/or the filters are...

Did you make sure that the fuel tank cap is venting properly?

Those aren’t front mounted snowblowers. The OP specifically asked about front mounted snowblower if you read his post thoroughly. RAD makes the front mounted snowblower not Landpride

Then how do the hundreds of thousands farm tractors with planters and mowers with single action lift cylinders and dual valves work then? We used them for 40+ years without any issues.

Are you making sure that your hydraulic remote control lever is returning to neutral position after raising or lowering your mower? With single hose cylinders, you have to make sure that the lever goes into neutral position after using because most times they won’t automatically. Single hose...

It would be easier to advise if we knew what you have for a tractor? Quick hitch for a BX is different than a hitch for a M8 series. It’s like asking if the tire for your 10 speed bicycle can be used as a spare for your Harley motorcycle. Also, Goodworks Tractor is expensive on those hitches...

Why would you buy a tractor that doesn’t have enough power for what you want it to have? Hoping to soup it up to make enough power and be happy with the results in the end can be a disappointing dream. Why not just buy the correct machine in the first place?

Could be an Oliver or something sold by Oliver if the paint is original. Has some characteristics similar to Dearborn Danuser blades from the 1950’s era.
