I have changed many of those heads on those Iowa, Woodford no freeze hydrants. I would give it a try. I hope you have a way to shut the water off if the repair goes sideways. If you don't I would just shut the well down and dig it up and replace it. Normally those Iowa hydrants last 30-40...

Just went threw this with JD {Mother Deere}. Little back ground. I had looked around over the winter about up dating our combine. Long story short it was going to take three hundred grand to up grade as we would have to change our two heads out also as JD has made it so our current heads won't...

Back when I had a lot of cattle, I built a lot of fence on rented pasture with T posts and used these brackets for gates. Drilled a lot of holes in T posts and never had any issues. Just use good bits and oil. Most rented pasture I was around never had good fence and the landlord wouldn't spend...

I have many 6.5 HP and 13 HP Predator motors around here on the farm running bucket lifts, water pumps log splitters, buzz saws, air compressors and a couple small generators. I haven't had any issue with any one of them. All get the oil change once a year and run non ethanol gas in them. I run...

The cross fire units are the real deal. Back in the late 70's into the 80's I did a lot of testing for them. They aren't cheap but they last. I have several that have been on many different semi trucks and trailers over the years. I run them on my semi tractors and grain trailers. There are a...

I have a buddy that bought a 725D on a estate sale with two hundred hours on it and it used some oil too. He had no idea what brand or weight oil had been in it. He was running Rotella 5-40 synthetic as that is what he runs in all his other diesels and I run the same in my 325D and my 325D uses...

Has it worked since the pump was changed? Last one I went to trouble shoot for a guy with no pressure and a new pump he had switched the inlet and outlet on the pump and was trying to put water into the outlet on the pump. If its plumbed right and primed I would guess your pressure relief valve...

I am very sorry for your loss. Prayers sent for you and your family.

First off welcome to the forum. Hope the shoulder works out ok. I had two surgery's on the same shoulder and the outcome hasn't been great. Before to much advice is given need to know is the banker {WIFE} going to let you spend 8 grand or 30 grand makes a big difference. Myself I like the HST...

First question is what's your budget. What your wanting to do is probably going to be a 85-100 HP machine with high flow hyd. Back when I bought my last one new it was ten thousand more to buy tracks and I was already spending more than I wanted to. Probably twenty now. Main reason I bought the...

I am pretty touchy about loaning trailers out. Normally where my trailers go I go. Years ago a BIL borrowed a grain trailer and tractor. It was my best trailer which had never been on salted roads or hauled road rock in it. He borrowed it from my wife his sister when I was out of town. He...

Thirty, forty years ago there were a ton of those box blades in my area. Many little road side short line dealers selling 8N Fords, equipment and flat bed trailers. I think the thought were that piece with the hinge and cutting edge was suppose to help break up the clods and smooth out behind...

I have used DB several times on odd ball equipment . The first was probably ten years ago. It was a pump with a three cylinder Deutz diesel on it that someone had took the starter and alt off. I bought both from DB and there are both still working.

I would take it off the tractor and use a hyd press to straight it out. I wouldn't use the tractor and loader to straight it. I have straighten several with a 100 ton press.

Poohbear I am very sorry for your loss. Prayers sent.
