-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looks like I might have to put a clutch in my TA. I tried to plow with it the other day(real dry, hard plowing) and in 1st gear it slipped with TA both ahead and back. I am going to have my uncle look at it and make sure it is adjusted right but I am pretty sure it wont be that simple. I think I have a leaking rear main seal(I changed the motor oil and I've noticed that since it has been smoking more--I think the PO had something other than 30 wt in it.). Anyway, I think the clutch job shouldn't be too bad, but I am looking at Bates website and they list 4 different clutch disks for this thing! I am somewhat familiar with the "button clutch". I do a little bit of tractor pulling and my M is believed to have a button clutch in it. It is really hard to feather sometimes and the motor was slightly built in it we think. I really don't like not being able to feather a clutch good. However, as I said, I pull some and want a clutch to hold. My SMTA isn't built by any standards, in fact I would call it weak. However, the plan is to eventually get it to where it will give a respectable showing at the pulls. So.... Which clutch to get? From the looks of it, they have a "stock" full disk, a "standard duty" 4 button, a HD 4 button, and a HD 6 button. Any hints on how to choose? Price varys from $90-135 so I will spend more to get the heavier clutch if I need it. On a seperate note, I have an uncle looking for a 150 hp motor to go into a 400. Anyone know of someone who'd either sell him a crate motor or build his up?? Thanks!! Mike

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
