Tractors

Does the transmission fall apart or does it stay Intact? I'm debating on changing the clutch on our mf 375.

It stays in tact, it's been 20 years since I've done it but I don't remember any problems with the trans. Hardest part I remember is getting everything to line back up when putting it all together.

The great thing about the 375 is I can reach the flywheel and twist it. I think that will make it easier to get the tranny back together.

What size are the bales again?

What size are the bales again?

I was only able to get 4*5s this year because I was a little late, they will probably be around 800-1000lbs. Ideally I would like to get 6*6, which are around 1500lbs I believe.

Nothing runs like Deere, when there's a CAT on its ass.

Alright, so I bought a Kubota MX5100.

I cannot get the quick attach bucket to release. I have released the two handles behind the bucket, but the the pins at the bottom wont release. Kinda hard to explain so I posted some pictures. Any ideas?

Is the bucket on the ground or in the air? I would tilt the bucket all the way back and pull them.

It was on the ground when I pulled them the first time. When you say tilt back are you meaning towards the driver or away?

 

[volinreallife]

Towards and take it off the ground not to far though

Any updates

The bucket is off. The pins are now stuck in the unlocked position. I need to find a way to get these things greased up. The pin is so tight in the casing that's it's near impossible to get anything on them.

So I'm still stuck. I've tried hitting these suckers with a rubber mallet, I have used penetrating oil and white grease and I still can't get them to budge.

Heat them up.

Heat them up is the best way to go

 

[TDTennessee]

With a propane torch?

 

[hog88]

With a propane torch?

Yes, low and slow.

 

[TDTennessee]

Yes, low and slow.

I just got one from lowes, so I'll give it a whirl later this afternoon. It's pretty cold here today, so it might take a while.

You get the torch and give J the BFH and go to town
