Pop the old one out with a press easy. New one was knurled around the edge and slightly oversize. Press it in and it also has a clip that goes on the bottom for extra security. I went 3 stage and tacked it in anyway. Lots simpler than on the older trucks grinding forever to get the rivets out...
You can rebuild it cheaper than putting a different rear end under it. First push up and down on the driveshaft near the pinion and see if the pinion bearing is loose.
Too cool here this spring, corn is all way down from average and last year. Haven't done any that was over 110 bushel where last year it was 160, and usually at least 140. Everyone here is way low. Been hearing that a lot on agtalk though, lots of places low on yield. All the custom stuff I have...
Called him today to see if he was adjusting it or I owed for the service call. He said don't worry about it, obviously they had some problem on that one and the rep said just take care of it. Good deal.
Yeah it's the front right on my 8100. We put the same tires on dad's 8100 right before I got these, so we have 3 from the same time that are fine and one that went bad. Haven't heard from the tire guy, keep forgetting to call him and see if his rep looked at it.
Update: The tire blew out the other day. On the outside sidewall it looked almost like it had melted, exposed cords all over. The other side was fine. I wonder if there was some crud on their mold and it had a chemical reaction or something. They came over and put a new tire on and took that one...
Gone already. I found quite a few on that carparts site but there's no pictures and very short descriptions. I think he'll probably just have that cab fixed since at least he knows what else has happened to it.
It needs both rear posts and the bottom piece under the window and the roof. The middle post even on the passenger side is fine. And need the window and door too. Estimate was 12 thousand.
Back years ago the town ran a new power line through our place, put a damn pole right in front of our one pasture gate. Actually several right on our one road too, jackasses. Anyway this one has 4 support wires, 2 of which always break as it sways in the wind every winter. Dad was chasing cows...
Seems excessive, but then even with time spent messing around I bet he still planted it all more than twice as fast as a 12 row. I'd like to have a 24 but I don't want a pull type, 3 point doesn't drag sideways on hillsides. Sometimes the ability to cover some acres fast is worth the screwing...
At the local NH dealer the other day there was a 245 there that was more faded than that with 2500 hours on it... Damn near white on the hood. Crappy paint I guess. Low hours for such fading I thought.
You know the muffler being half white stands out more when you have the rest of it so...
A feed mixer? Hours at a feedlot look pretty damn hard to me, see a lot of different guys that don't care about the machine running them hard. But if it was a small place and the same guy ran it then would be a lot better.
Looks a lot better with the faded stuff repainted. I've thought about...
So BT did all that corn finally get done? I still see guys posting about their spring combining on agtalk. Some that still can't be done in MN and ND.
Spread fertilizer yesterday and rollerharrowed it in and started drilling barley today. Was spitting snow at me when I quit tonight. Doubt it...
Crop insurance sucks though when you take on new places. Here anyway, when you get a place they make you take the county average until you have 2 years history on that farm. Even if you have a good average from other farms. So I had to take the county average of 100, and had 70% of that so 70...
Depending on where you are, lots and lots of time. Hard to bid against the big guys all the time. And once you get it you can't depend on it staying yours. Also depending where you are, 1000 acres is a lot of work. Here we have to irrigate everything all year, no rain most of the summer. So it...
