    2 Bottom Plow ID

    Picked this up today. I searched the net trying to identify, but found nothing. I HAD a Ferguson 2-14 that my farm chewed up and spit out. Turned the triangle from the top link mount down into a pretzel. Anyway, saw this on CL and it looked pretty stout in the pictures and it was even...

    Starter Issue

    Started last year, but only after the tractor (M4050) was warmed up to operating temp. If I shut down, when I tried to restart I could hear a dull sound of the starter trying to engage. After a few more tries, it would catch and start. Now, it's happening more frequently and happened...

    M4050 PTO Clutch Adjusment

    Looking to adjust the PTO clutch on an M4050. I have the Workshop manual, but it states pretty simply that if you have greater than 3/4" 'PTO clutch lever free travel' to 'Adjust by altering the length of the clutch control rod'. Has anyone completed this task? This being an older, short...

    Ferguson 2-14 plow - single use :(

    So I finally got my M4050 loaded up and delivered to my farm. Had a 2 acre food plot cut (reclaimed) and ready for plowing. Tried to till it a few weeks ago with my B7100 and new Countyline 4' tiller, but after 25+ years untouched it was a bit much for the little tractor. When I bought the...

    2 temperature senders?

    As I wait for my new head gasket (M4050) and other parts to arrive from Messicks, I started buzzing out some of the wiring. On top of the head, there is a sending unit and on the left side of the block, near the starter there is another sending unit. From the parts diagram on Messicks the...

    Picked up a M4050

    Been looking for the past few months, and made a few posts along the way. Well used (3500 hours) and needs a little tlc, but I think made a good deal with a 2 bottom plow. Anyway, its a hard starter and I just got done checking the resistance on the GP's. The results from back to front...

    Removing tines from tiller?

    I have the opportunity to pickup a 5' Countyline tiller for food plots. I know it's too much for my B7100hst, but I've also read about removing tines to make it useable. I like this idea since I am also looking to purchase a 40-50hp farm/utility tractor in the near future, which would then...

    PTO won't disengage

    Looking at an M5030DT and found a few issues. First, the PTO will slow when the lever is pulled up (but not stop), and conversely speed up when the lever is engaged in the down position. Engaging the clutch stops it. Not sure if this may just be a linkage adjustment or a deeper issue in the...

    large tractor small implements?

    I've found a 50hp Kubota 4wd. The tractor and a used set of 6' discs is at the top of my current budget, but ticks all the boxes I think I need. I currently have a 4' brush hog that I use with my B7100, would it be an issue to use the 4' brush hog with the bigger tractor? (understanding that...

    M4050 2wd thoughts

    I currently have a B7100HST that I use for food plotting about 4 acres a year, along with cutting/maintaining trails. I sold off another tractor/tiller combo to finance a tiller for the 7100, but now have been thinking a little different. I'm managing an overgrown 80 acre farm for deer...

    Planet Jr. 3 point seeder

    I have an opportunity to pickup a 2 row Planet Jr 3 point seeder for a good price. It's main purpose will be for planting buckwheat and rye grain for food plots. I can't find a lot of info on how well it will plant those seed. The manual calls out mainly lettuce and vegetables. I refurbed a...

    Loader & 3 point lift capacity - 1995 B7100 HST

    I've searched and googled and can't really find a definitive answer, so I'm going to the experts. I have 1995 B7100 HST with 700 hours. I put about 50 hours on it last summer with the brush hog maintaining my hunting lease and putting in food plots. Last December I bought a (1940's) McCormick...
