I don’t have any literature but I do have a 315 cultimucher that I rebuilt. Mine has the solid packer wheels front and back, works pretty good for clod busting/rolling for grass seeding.

Found this in an old barn recently. As a rancher in west central TX I dread dealing with them but my dad and grandpa dealt with them in the past and just as they did, we will do everything we can to protect our animals.

I brought home an old 510 recently too. Everything on it was frozen up. I was able to take everything apart where the adjusting lever attaches and was able to tap the feed shaft back and forth from each end a little at a time after days of oiling to get it freed up.

Got the new harness put in today and we’re back in business. The two ends of the gray tabs push in and the gray part slides out the bottom, then the plug pulls straight out.-Pics in case someone needs them some day. Appreciate the help!

Thank you, worked a screwdriver under the gray part at the bottom and it popped right out. Appreciate the help!

Does anyone know how to remove this electrical connection on the back of my 2020 farmall 75c? It looks like maybe I would squeeze the gray part together and turn something? I tried a few things but haven’t figured it out yet. Rats ate my wiring harness in to that runs to the PTO/fuel sender and other things. Thanks!

I didn’t know there was anyone on here that close by. I get down to Coleman every few weeks for feed/parts. I always liked Coleman. Klein sure won’t compare to alfalfa. Surprising to me alfalfa was cheaper than Klein. Always good to have hay in the barn though. We usually feed wheat, haygrazer, or coastal Bermuda here, With coastal being the highest quality. If my cows had ever tasted alfalfa they’d probably turn down all those.

Klein is a bunch grass similar to switch grass but more palatable in my opinion. I believe it was brought in from Africa. People here in west/central TX have good luck with it for cattle grazing and hay. It matures about 3’ tall or so. It does need fertilizing to make much but I don’t mind that. You just plant about 2 lbs per acre so I stopped up every other drop in the drill. most people here broadcast it but it’s hard to get that small of a rate that way. Part of this field is pretty sandy and I didn’t want it too deep so I didn’t put drag chains on. I did roll it before planting and after and we got .4” of rain on it the next day so we will see how it comes up.

Have spent the last few days planting some Klein grass seed. Thought yall would like a few pics from the ordeal. Just got my 315 cultipacker and 510 drill with the grass box worked up and useable. It was good to knock the rust off. Hopefully we get a rain tomorrow or the next day and some of it actually comes up!

I have a 75c and am coming up on my 3rd oil change on it. Yes I do have to remove the fuel filters to get to the oil filter. Have to unbolt a couple brackets and move some things around as well. It is a pain to do, the only upside is that it’s only recommended to change the oil every 600 hours. Another odd thing but may be common on newer tractors is the serpentine belt does not have a tensioner, it has a “stretchy belt”. Mine shredded the belt in the first 500 hours and I had to unbolt the AC compressor to get the new belt on before I learned they make a little tool to kind of roll the belt on with. It’s been a good little tractor, we use it a lot, it just doesn’t have the weight to do things like the older tractors. Forgot to add, I made a special tool to get the drain plug out. Got an Allen socket the right size, cut it down and welded it to a flat bar. It works great and I leave it in the toolbox, no room for a regular ratchet.

I finally got tired of the plastic, expensive, not vented crap with spouts that wouldn’t work and bought a couple of the military steel cans at my local army surplus with the flexible metal spout. Best decision I’ve made lately.

I always thought this one summed up my operation

They are neat little machines, I have the military version, the FLU-419. Kind of awkward to drive and just moderately useful for several different things, but very well built and rugged.

Here is why this is a little of an odd situation. I bought this tractor from a dealer 300 miles away from me in south Texas. I specifically wanted a 2wd with no loader and this salesman is the only one I could find that would go to the trouble to locate me one. I’ve bought another farmall from him about 5 years ago. He did locate me one, he claimed the only one in North America, at a dealer in Binbrock, ON Canada. So I paid my salesman for it and he had it shipped straight to me. His dealership never laid hands on it. But obviously the dealer in Canada never took care of the problems the tractor had before they loaded it up. they didn’t even top off the antifreeze or rear end oil, and the front wheels are not adjusted right either. I called the salesman I ordered it from and he claimed he would have service manager call me right back but that was last Wednesday and I never heard a thing back. I can load it up and haul it to my local dealer 40 miles away and I’m sure they will get it fixed. It seems like a lot of trouble for a new tractor that should’ve been right when it arrived. That’s why I was hoping it was something simple I could fix without much trouble.

Thank you guys for the information. I guess I’m glad I got a small enough tractor I can haul it to the dealer easily. I’m starting to dislike this tractor already lol.

Just bought a new farmall 120c. It is a left over 2023 model and has 12 hours on it so it has been sitting on the dealer lot of a good while. went to back it off the truck and it has a couple warning lights on. One that the book says is for poor DEF quality and the other is for a DEF injector fault as far as I can tell. The dealer is being no help so I thought if it was something simple I’d just fix it. This is my first tractor with DEF. i drained the def tank and refilled with new clean fluid and I pulled the def injector out and cleaned it with deionized water. These things made no difference. Is there a way to reset these lights and warnings after I do work like that or should they go off on their own if the issue is fixed? Does anyone have any other ideas to try before I have to haul it back to the dealer? Thanks!-Ryan

JP tractor salvage is a good business run by good honest people. I drove there from TX to pick up farmall cub parts probably over 20 years ago. Have never had to line up shipping with them though so not sure what is normal procedure for that.

That looks really neat, I bet that will come in handy. I find projects built out of the scrap pile are some I use the most often

Beautiful work, from the pic it looks like it could’ve came from the factory that way

They call this one a Dearborn 10-200.

Found these pics from an upcoming auction at Stamford, tx. Hopefully they will help you a little. That plow may be a Dearborn brand. And I think anything you could get rigged up would do the job on that disc. Not really a colter but can’t think of the correct term for it right now. I think that would be used mostly for keeping the plow located for example if you were plowing dirt up on the side of a terrace that would help keep the plow from wanting to head down the side of the terrace.

You’re sure welcome, if you need anything else let me know. We do use this loader frequently but don’t abuse it. My dad bought it new and put it on this tractor when it was pretty new itself. We unload and stack a lot of hay with it. It has unloaded many bales that the hydraulics on the tractor won’t lift. It will tilt them back but not lift them. We use it for a little dirt and material moving and loading and carrying gates and things that are to heavy to lug around by hand. In my opinion the bracket setup is plenty stout and will stand anything the loader itself will. I have seen some of these loaders that have cracked around the cross piece that goes between the arms at the front but around here that is usually caused by people trying to push over cedar trees and/or backing off and making a run at things.

Let me know if you need more pics or measurements of anything!

I have a 2250 on a 686, if I can remember will get you some pics in the next couple days so you have a starting point at least
