Back in 2013 I picked up two rolling baskets that were heading for the scrap yard. Then modded my little 5 foot 3 pt cultivator to tow the baskets and match their width with a few extra shovels. Roughly 7 foot of coverage now. At that time, it was used behind my JD750 MFWD (20HP) to prepare...

Is your alternator similar to these: 1G825-64010 alternator They can be had for a little over $100 plus shipping. Or at your local auto parts stores maybe?

Each Spring seems to be more of a learn again experience for me, too!!:ROFLMAO: Backhoe will go on mine for the first time, sometime this week. We shall see how it goes. LOL!!

We fabricated a cheap cab for my neighbor's older BX with some light framework and enclosed with some "double polished" clear window vinyl. Awesome visibility and it keeps the snow and wind off the operator. A reasonably priced ready to go "Cheap" enclosure could be had by using a golf cart...

I , too, grew up with dad's WD45 and a Minneapolis Moline "U". Spent many a long, hot, dusty, dirty day alone in the fields with them. Good times!!]

You'll love your new grapple!! Congrats! I used mine today for the same purpose you bought yours..... Cleaned up some downed trees and brush left over from the winter's storms. It sure makes clean up so quick and easy!!

Been in the same predicament with my rototiller while locating old buried barbed wire fencline! I agree with NIW..... thin cut off wheel got the majority off quick and easily. For the rest (sorry I don't have a pic of it) a stout wire hook on the end of a handle works well to pull loose the...

Growing up as kids....my brother and I raised an acre or two of onions to sell for our spending money. An Allis Chalmers "G" was our cultivator tractor. That machine was a blast to drive to and from the onion patch and made cultivating between the rows a breeze. Sure beat hoeing by hand and...

Where are our manners?!?! :ROFLMAO: Welcome to OTT, DawgHouse!!

I do the same with my B2650 and my car hauler trailer. I'm assuming moving an empty trailer? If so, you should be just fine. I don't have/use a quick hitch so I can't comment on that. Other than raise your quick hitch up and check for clearance against your trailer tongue. I'd also guess...

If you haven't already....... activate the switch with the main key to "ON" or tractor running and see what lights up, rings, dings, or cuts out.

Your stand turned out great!! Thanks for the great pics!!

That's a great idea!! And perfect for when I use the tractor at our wood lot a couple hours away. Nice to have both the bucket and grapple along, but hate having to dig the grapple out of the mud after its either fallen over or sunk after a few days of unexpected hard rainstorms!! Another...

My EA 55" Grapple dolly build is Here Already been 5 yrs since first built. On my concrete floor it sure is nice to roll it off to the side when not in use and right up to the front of the tractor when it is needed for a quick hook up.

If the book says 20.6 inches: 20 9/16" equals 20.625 inches. My guess is that's the exact match. I doubt the extra .025" would cause any problems. :LOL: Thus the 396-787 should work.
