Thanks….the second thing i purchased for that 8N 3 yrs ago was an over-run clutch…. I’ve heard several stories about the torque pushing the 8N into a precarious position. Changed hydraulic fluid yesterday… those 2” drain plugs are some free...

My first tractor was a Ferguson 30. I learned the hard way about a live PTO. The inertia from the mower pushed me into the ditch. After that I bought a clutch from the local farm store and placed it on the PTO shaft.

A flail mower is great if you don't have any brush larger than an 1"+/- to cut. It also generally takes more HP to operate. An old 8N probably has less than 20 HP at the PTO. My 6' bush hog will cut down and mulch anything under 4" but it is...

A couple of years back, the Allis needed some work on the front axle spindle and the lift was very handy for the work required. They have ag applications too.

If you find a used brush hog mower, many of the older ones were not equipped with an over running clutch. If you encounter that, an over running clutch can be purchased as a PTO attachment for your 8N. [on the chance you are not familiar...

The white cabinet. We were doing demo on an old rural post office. There were two of these mail slot cabinets. Just picture it on a big table and turned 90 degrees. It still had tags underneath each slot with peoples last names.

My son thinks he might of bent the crazy wheel on the back of the bush hog. I went ahead and put it on the lift to fix the wheel and sharpen blades.

Our company has 35,50,80 and then goes to 245,350's. The 120's and 160's are in an odd place. You can buy a 200 series for the price of the 120 and 160's. We have 6 Kubota KX80's. That is what our guys go to first. You can pull an 80 behind a one...

Using it around my house/shop I was regularly coming against the limits of my 50 series machine so I started looking for a bigger machine. My friends that work on excavators for a living told me to go straight to a 120 and don't look back, but as...

You are gonna love dealing with those Poplars. Not as bad as Locust, but you will see suckers for a long time.

I bought an Icon 1/2" drive about a year ago. I mainly use it for lug nuts. So precision is not much of a factor. Consistency is. Checked it against my sons Snap On and they are really close.

Use what ya brung in this case. Spur of the moment. He did have mental sparks when he realized he can be good at it. He will likely get a welder and more gear when he does. Its nice to light a spark in a young kid that likes to work with his hands.

Welding in Crocks and socks. I did that once. Spark fell though the holes and caught my sock on fire.
