Thats a big pile of bare root stock.

I did 2000 spruce this year, always look forward to planting. Lots of work, but lots of fun.

Yeah. I didn't even post the 440 with 2 way blade for $7000 that he had.

Found a parting out 40.

Found these two ads on my local craigslist (Flint, MI) Don't know if anybodys looking but here they are. Reading closer, it looks like he is trying to sell the tracks (rails) for $2k and the engine for 3,500. Are these prices on the high side or am I out of date? No mention of the loader. JD 40 Rail...

Me, I prefer to disassemble as far as possible and piece paint. I go for a nice paint job, that is going to see the field. Never nothing for show. Your question reminds me a place nearby On local tractor jockey performs the "liquid overhaul". Everyone around can pick out a tractor they have sent to ...

That is not good. And I am sure that water was cold. Probably not the way you wanted to find out your phone was waterproof either.

Lucky, you're ok. Now, you'll just have to get the machine out of there.

Make sure you enter that in Stuckinthemuck.com for next year.

I have a couple of pieces of old 1/2 inch OSB plywood. Works great. I get the dozer lined up as straight as I can before I hit the concrete, otherwise you have to jump of the dozer and adjust the plywood if you try steering on the pieces.

I put a 1 wire on my 46 AC WC tractor in 1996. Absolutely no problems. I have a Western plow on the front and 2 batteries. The plow will drag the batteries down a little if I move a lot of snow. Occasionally I'll throw the battery charger on when I am done just to get them back to full. I bought the...

Regarding your fender... thats why I had to quit lending my stuff out. It was different with the guys that offered money and/or help to fix what was damaged, other just said "oh, I didn't know that happened." Now the only damage can be caused by me. I have been looking for a scraper that size too. G...

Yep, just looked up the 350D reverser on the Deere Parts site. Reverser filter looks like the same arrangement as earlier 350's. Right on the bottom, mounted horizontally and accessible via a cover on the right side. Ken have to laugh a little at your post, ...accessible via a cover on the right si...

Ripper/3 pt for my 350

Its getting warm and starting to think through my summer dozer projects. I am planning on expanding my pond this year. I want to scrape the top soil off and save for later. Then excavate out the the clay. I have cut sod before with my 350, but I think doing a 150' x 150' area might be a little too h...

Looks like a nice collection.

In the one pictures it looks like the chains from the crane are lifting the dozer by the tracks by the way they are stretched.

I had an old Hein Werner excavator with smooth grousers. Being cheap and having a lot of 1.5" angle iron laying around, I cut sections to make grouser edges. The pads had holes drilled already, after drilling a few (long time), I found it much easier to just weld them to the pads. I did every other ...

price

You can search on "search tempest" or "craigs helper" in a 250 mile radius. This is what I always do when getting ready to buy/sell something. My experience from a year ago, throughout Michigan, I found 1010's from $1500-5000 asking price. I ended up with a 350B instead. But I would think based on t...

I'm far from an expert on dozers, but I believe the reason no one has replied is your price is high. You can get a much newer 350 with a 6 way for what you're asking.

Just my observation.
