Super A questions (newbie)

and....Can anybody point me in the right direction as to the best way to set the tractor up to plow nice hills for our garden? Three seasons now, and I've switched the implements around every which way (although I'm not even sure I'm using the right ones)

Any and all suggestions welcome!

Rick

PS...anybody in central NC that wants to do a "hands-on" demonstration is welcome to smoked baby backs to take home...the number of racks to be dependent on distance travelled :)

This whachu look'in fer, I did'em with a 140 or 100 not chur which one, I still have the cultivators on one of'em but gonna change'em out soon. I want to figger out the roll'in cultivators to throw dirt at the collards. Hear in Sanford, NC were we have clay in the spring i do not hill, for the fall I hill cuzz of so much rain if you don't it will drown the plants, spring I plant putneer on the ground and werk up to a hill as I cultivate. I know you are in the sand and a completely different soil. Stop by sumtime I hang out around the shop 7/7

Glad to see you are just up the road...and I've got a Ford 3000 that I'm going to be working on, so I'll be seeing soon.

Also, telling us the vendor won't reflect badly on them. The only way it would reflect badly is if they deliver a poor quality product, or no product at all. Since that hasn't happened yet, there's no way it could be a bad thing to mention the vendor.

The I&T manual costs about that much. If you're not mechanically inclined, it'll be pretty much useless to you because the I&T assumes you know the basics and can tell how things come apart by looking at them.

There actually isn't a service manual that goes into a step-by-step on how to take particular things apart and put them back together. Even the IH service manual is just a bunch of tables and assebmbly drawings.

Thanks for the offer to help (G'boro to S. Pines seems about a "6-rack" :))

On you gardenig quest, the problem with cultivating equipment today, is over the years there have been so many aftermarket upgrades of ground working tools, it will be quite hard to advise you without seeing exactly what you have. Do you have any scanned photos? Just to give you an example, I have two complete sets of rear and center mount cultivators. I don't think I've used any of the original IH ground working tools in the past 10 years. There are just so many improved tools on the market. Now, there is also a bit of junk.

I wish I knew the terms for what I have...discs (small/large), V-shaped sweeps?, right/left handed plows...I'll take some pics when I get home. Thanks for the help

I&T manuals can be good too.

I'm in Southern Pines...I haven't picked up the parts cat. but did get an "owner's manual" awhile back. Planning on doing the carb. etc. this winter, so the parts cat. will come in handy

Hey Ricky, hope you don"t find something like THIS in your carb, like I did in my "49 SA! LOL

I"m new at this too. The parts manual is an awesome resource.
