With 7000 lb on the axles, your tongue weight would be what, 700 lb?

A car can weigh something like 5000 lb?

That would allow 2700 lb for the trailer and all the gear ...

Had we stayed on the Calhan ranch, I would have bought a John Deere 4020
to upgrade from the Case VA with tricycle gear we had.

There was a big (government, IIRC) program back in the late '80 that was
kind of like the "Cash for Clunkers". Tractor prices went up considerably
because of that.

This is an industrial tractor, not a farm tractor.  I think it is the 
equivalent to a 3020, but built lower, with a heavier duty loader.  It 
looks like it has new paint and new tires.  It is a bit pricey, and 
should be yellow, not green.  As long as it is not a pig in ladies gown, 
it might be a good deal.

Re: [MBZ] What about this tractor 3020 loader

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

We'd have to research the capacity of the loader model, but I think so.  
Depends on the rear counterweight.  I know the 4020 up and 966 IH up can 
with the right loader.  You probably only need 30-40 hp, but a good hyd. 
pump, a large loader and counterweight.   The mass of 70-1230 hp 
tractors makes it easier to lift cars.   With our little 240 IH and rear 
forklift we could lift the front end of IH trucks.  It was maybe 20 HP 
and light.

Re: [MBZ] What about this tractor 3020, one on each end

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

THis would balance nicely.  you could pick up one car on each end, and 
stack the ones to crush, and then load them on a flatbed semi with the 
forklift.  It might be a trick to unhook the forklift to hook on a baler 
or mower.



https://www.tractorhouse.com/listings/farm-equipment/for-sale/17497947/1968-john-deere-3020

In general, everybody seems a lot more proud of the green paint than 
they were 9 years ago.   I only got 12k-13 k for the 5500 back then 
while they were going for 20-24k in Kollufonia.  It was only 12 years 
old, and ran like a champ.

I don’t necessarily need it to be able to pickup a whole car so much as be able 
I lift one end or the other. Picking up a whole car would me nice though. Also 
being able I bail hay if needed also. My current tractor won’t run a big bailer

Re: [MBZ] What about this tractor?

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

D@mn good tractor, except the hydrostatic scares me.  I'd rather have a 
clutch and gearshift as those seldom fail.  At worst, you might need a 
new clutch disk and pressure plate and throwout bearing.  If the hydro 
goes out, you are gonna spend big bucks or loose big bucks dumping the 
tractor.   I am not sure if it is heavy enough to lift whole cars.  You 
'd need to check that out.


It has had some things repaired, the PTO and one 3 pt arm are red, from 
a farm tractor.  (Neither good nor bad but does show some level of care.)


I'd like it better if it was a diesel, but for your use, a gasser may be 
better.  Simple ign, plugs and simple carb.


You could try (if the owner would let you) picking up a whole car that 
is going to the crusher with the bucket and a couple log chains asross 
the top of the car to the bucket or loader arms to keep the car more or 
less horizontal.  I'm thinking it will pick it up if you have enough 
weight on the 3 point.   You may want to replace front tires and wheels 
with balloon tires  11L-15 or similar.

[MBZ] Breaks

[clay monroe via Mercedes]

No good repair attempt goes unpunished.

I had yet to deal with the brake fluid on Allen.  It has been a year since I 
got her, and the fluid, though fresh when installed a few years ago, was not 
being as good as I thought it should be.  Stuff in the tank was a bit dark, but 
i had done some fluid swaps with a baster twice.

I have a Mighty Vac, that the fluid cup had gone missing.  I had rigged up a 
container last year.  When I tried to use it this morning, the thing just 
shattered.  Nalgene bottle with gooped in hoses.  Just fell apart.  I tried to 
fab something else to work.  It did not.  Instead of screwing about trying to 
get suck to work, I hit FLAPS and brought home a FRESH Mighty Vac.  That makes 
three pumps, lots of attachments, and one functional cup.

The car was jacked up and I was able to get the far rear wheel draining, but I 
was sucking bubbles.  Driver side rear did not have bubbles and both sides were 
pulling fresh fluid from the reservoir.   Rear rotors and pads looked good with 
no obvious wear.  Front rotors were showing almost 2mm.   Front right bleeder 
would not open, as somebody had rounded the 8mm nut.   Driver side bled fine 
with no bubbles.   I think 10oz of DOT4 went through the lines.

Now I get to RTFM for the Vac pump and try to come to terms with what is going 
on with my brake system.  Right front wear sensor wires are rotted away.  Looks 
like I need to wait until another bunch of W126 hit the PnP yards so I can 
scrounge a few brake parts.

Re: [MBZ] Tractors

Plus the cost of keeping your own equipment...
Maintenance, repairs, storage. That was the part that really got me. Oh and for 
us we get to have a much better excavator. A dedicated tracked digger will 
perform better than one on the back of a small tractor particularly in its 
ability to get into small places.

It depends upon how many times you need to use it:

15000
- = 41.67
 360

So if you need to use it more than 41 times, it's cheaper to buy it.

I presume you have to force the smoke into the intake/induction system so
it comes out the leaks. That would mean having a good seal where you force

I like Curt's idea, probably far less $ over time, but you will have lost
the ability to use the equipment immediately and will have to wait or
schedule the work.

Maybe the compromise would be getting a purpose-built thing to do the most
common tasks (probably move / tow vehicles around the ranch) and then rent
the equipment to do the other things that can be scheduled (bush-hog,
trench digging, grading, etc).

Sounds to me like a Unimog that you can use to tow / pull / push would be
the ticket?  Find a rusty beat up example with no attachments but sound
engine / trans / brakes?

I presume you have to force the smoke into the intake/induction system so
it comes out the leaks. That would mean having a good seal where you force
the smoke in.

Pretty simple. This one uses a tiki torch wick. Someone he knows made one with 
a glow plug for the heat source in the oil to make the smoke.At his work they 
use one with nitrogen for anything related to the fuel system.He says fancier 
ones have flow meters so one can gauge the rate of leakage and a timer to 
control how long the heat stays on.

Re: [MBZ] Secret message for Floyd

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I'm not sure where "Coles Island, a Confederate post on the Stono River 
 that was being dismantled" 
was, but it was likely near my buddy's farm on the Stono River.  Oh, the 
internets tell us "Much of Coles Island was destroyed in the hurricane 
of 1911, leaving Fort Palmetto standing in the marsh just south of the 
remnants of the island. The tall tabby walls are still extant, though 
they have collapsed into the surrounding marsh"


So it isn't there any more I guess as the area changes with storms and 
tides.  But yes Smalls was viewed by some as quite a hero.


Interestingly enough this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Isaac_Smith  
happened at my buddy's farm, back when it was owned by his family 
ancestors -- guys on shore got pissed at the men on the ship for firing 
on some shacks they had over there by the river and fired back on it and 
ultimately captured it after killing a bunchum.  The ship crew was just 
harassing the guys and taking target practice on the shacks for no 
particular reason.  Showed them.

Re: [MBZ] Progress!

I bought the pad from FCP Euro. Every pad I’ve ever purchased regardless of 
supplier was designed to fit out of the box. I don’t ever recall having to trim 
a hood pad.

As for glue removal, you just have to scrape until nothing comes off.  Wipe it 
down with adhesive remover or a solvent that will remove any remaining gunk or 
grease/oil.
