    Major birthing trouble

    No, I wasn't run off (though I rarely visit this site anymore). Yes, those were hard words to hear, but I'm a big boy and am not above taking advice, that's why I posted on here. Yes, I jumped the gun and put her down, the vet said she may have been saveable, I regret that and it still bothers...

    Major birthing trouble

    Old cow I bought, tried calving yesterday, checked this morning and apparently calf is dead, all I can see is a bit of the placenta, and she has pushed some innards out which goes back in when she stands, calf is stuck inside. No legs to pull on, cow is in bad shape. It's a holiday of course. Do...

    S.H.T.F. Preparedness

    Did not read all of these comments but I assume you are not just asking about flooding but being prepared in general? We went through a horrible ice storm and the whole area was out of power in zero degree temperatures for weeks. Nothing worked, no credit cards, no gas anywhere, no power at...

    Ford 4000 thermostart info?

    It "appears" to be leaking from the Thermostart Reservoir part # C5NN9N425B I got that word "thermostart" from the manual, or internet forums reference?, but it is referred to on diagrams as the intake heater (cold start) reservoir. going to have to make sure before I lay out that amount of...

    Ford 4000 thermostart info?

    1972 Ford 4000 diesel. I have a major leak (drips) while running, looking at the manual it appears to be the thermostart reservoir? It is leaking all over the tank and down the tractor, it's such a mess it's hard to tell but it doesn't appear the fuel line is leaking. I can find VERY little...

    Long treated posts in IN, KY or IL?

    10' EMT 1.5" dia. conduit is about $13, not sure what galvanized fence post for chain link runs but something similar, both are at Lowes. Should be able to flatten the ends and drill a hole through them for easy bolting. Just a thought?

    Is it just me

    Would it be better if the guy ran around with a Nike shirt, or Underarmor, Yeti, Realtree camo etc.? All made by slave labor in China which YOU pay THEM to advertise, now that seems stupid. This reminds me of some topic when I first joined about facial hair, strange how opinionated we can all...

    Seed plate #?

    I'll check it out when I set it up to take back. I didn't notice any obvious ways to change it but I was under some pressure to get'r done. I had a really old one that was adjustable, I never used it but you could tell you could change ratios.

    Seed plate #?

    Thanks for the help, we got it setup Tuesday night and he got it all planted the same night. Never did understand the "cog" changes, did not see any adjustment resembling this but the 24 cell plate put them pretty close to the 8" spacing in the yard. Setting the depth was a guessing game since...

    Seed plate #?

    Thanks, ran out of daylight before I could get the corn in it but ran a small test with remaining soybeans (obvious it wasn't a soybean plate), will dial in tomorrow.

    Seed plate #?

    My son is planting an acre or so of Reid's yellow dent corn. The bag has no info on it other than that it was tested and dates etc. I borrowed my cousin's 2 row planter that he bought and uses for food plots. It is an Allis Chalmers that has been cut down. It has a huge box of every seed plate...
