>>2944888i have become fascinated with rooskie homebilt junk mini loaders and i want to create my own but have 0 need for oneand all the junk yards are gone so all there is for parts is fuckwits trying to sell previously submerged ford exploder rear ends for $400nooffersiknowwhatigotand there is no market to sell the thing even near cost after the fun wore off in burgerland because theres plenty of used machines around and modern people here are scared of everything not shiny new plastic
>>2944910but back to the specs of what i think would be perfect. the gooksan design/bobqueer built l65 is pretty close. most other lack in lift height>~10k weight>50-75hp>2 spd powershift>35-38" tires with locking differentials>rear axle pivot for stability>z bar linkage with 11.5-12ft bucket pin height/30" forward reach at full lift
Protip: If you're looking to get into the tractor game, avoid anything with any DPF/DEF or any other type of exhaust control system that may or may not involve regen.They're a fucking nightmare. We had a Ford 4000 for decades with zero issues and only got rid of it because it didn't have a front end loader to 'upgrade' to a Kubota with a front end loader. The Kubota has spent more time in the shop than in the field. I don't think the Ford ever went to the shop except for painting.
Quickly discovering I like using hydraulics, not fixing hydraulics. Anyone know how Gresen float valves come apart?
>>2944942Busted this bastard off trying to get the float spool out, might be aluminum but I'm leaning potsmetal with how brittle it is. Will have to make a new one.Probably doesn't help that whoever worked on this before me used caulk to seal the threads.
>>2944945It was dripping from the bottom of this spool and the detent wasn't sticking so I figured I would pop it apart and see what needed fixing. You know, in and out, 3 hour repair give or take some hiccups.
>>2944947But it turns out this thing uses flatheads in evil places. I've tried wrenching on it with the widest driver I have using a wrench as a cheater bar. Think I'm gonna have to buy a impact driver for this. Any thoughts on how to get this apart?
>>2944910what if there was one that was just a bunch of pulleys and cables, maybe leadscrews for pistons
>>2944950>Any thoughts on how to get this apart?Manual impact driver.
I don't own a tractor, in fact I don't even own land. But if i did, I would have gotten a Fiatagri 180-90.

Think I'm gonna have to buy a impact driver for this. Any thoughts on how to get this apart?That flathead is the adjustment for your detent tightening it up makes the detent harder and loosening it off will make it pop off easier. They can get quite crudded up after a while because it seems like moisture and other crud always finds its way in there. As the other anon said try and break it loose with an impact driver. The screwdriver type that you hit with a hammer. Get a good fitting bit, hold it in there tight with a firm counterclockwise grip on the handle, and then hit it with your purse like you mean it so you don't fucking strip the head any more... A bit of WD-40 or other penetrating oil and a bit of heat couldn't hurt either.
>>2945050>>2945002Thats the stuff I needed to know. Don't know why I can't find manuals for this thing but I'm glad someone knew something about it. Also, its a satchel.
>>2945050So update on this. Tore it apart and I'm pretty sure that the reason it doesn't hold float position is the lack of anything for the detent plunger to catch on. I'm assuming that there is suppose to be an o-ring here but I haven't found any pictures of this assembly beyond a Parker manual online. Going to get some o-rings tomorrow and will see if it sticks or not.
Hey, any idea what the trucks are underneasth all of the steel plating?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxl67R4-j9chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Utz0xI70o
>>2945217When tractors are your hobby but cropping like shit is your day job.
Early 90s JD. Yanmar engine in it will run for 100 years, I'm convinced. Just wish it had more power - I have an auger attachment but it gets stuck pretty easily and you have to be VERY careful when doing fence posts. Its strong enough to run my rototiller well though.

Does anyone know how to remove this flange on a Bosch ep/rsv governor?>Inb4 google it Tried it, found sweet fuck all>Inb4 let a professional do itNah
Figure this is a good place to ask.Client complains that cultivators slice the soil and leave a hardened soil line under the cultivated area which water runs through. Is that a feature of certain types of cultivator or are they just doing it wrong
>>2947138hammer time
>>2947476You'd want to see the soil for yourself but it's possible they're getting smearing from working the soil when it's too wet. They likely have a high clay content soil too.
>>2947487Definitely a high clay content and yes, also working soil when wet. Smearing. Big help anon.I only dug their drainage ditches this year so I suppose in the years prior they they just trying to cultivate a swamp. Also they had tram lines the width of their entire tractor twice as close together as they should, didn't know about booms, this was some fucked up farming they were doing
o kurwa
>>2947861
>>2947476this shit mostly happens with plows that cut the soil and have huge parts of their tools sliding over the subterrain soil.Everything with ripper teeth, especially if they are pointy, angled forward and can vibrate will not do this since they rip out chunks and tear the soil apart instead of cutting.>or are they just doing it wrongperhabs they missuse pic rel going below the earths outer mantle
>>2948397>going below the earths outer mantleDamn, those things get way deeper than you'd think to look at them, I'd've thought they would melt at those sort of temps.
