As many of you have read, I'm new to tractors. I certainly have always enjoyed them, but never owned one. A while back I was given a D14, and after a few hundred bucks and some sweat labor, I had her purring like a kitten. Until I blew the motor due to a stuck valve. Round two! So I rebuilt it again. No big deal. Took me a little while to gather all the info I needed, parts and a few tools, and once again she was purring like a kitten. You guys here have made this a lot of fun. Seriously. I was discouraged with the motor blowing, but I wouldn't let it get to me. All that said, here's some videos of my property (the farm). It ain't much. Just 92 acres of woods and creeks with a 20 acre pasture. I'm hoping to find a sprayer this year at some point to be able to kill all the weeds and just have grass. Then, well...who knows. Cattle? Hogs? Just bale it? I don't know. Enough of my rambling...here's the videos. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/d8casNNFYdo" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/d8casNNFYdo https://youtu.be/KNAyGeMYG7I" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/KNAyGeMYG7I https://youtu.be/FFMG7zEaVx8" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/FFMG7zEaVx8

We are blessed. Great wife, three healthy kids, a home, and a little piece of land. Can't ask for much more. I've got some more work to do down there. I'm planning on clearing a few trails for the kids to ride their 4 wheelers on. One big project I have is cutting a flat bed semi trailer in half, taking the wheels and axles off and making them "bridges" to cross our creeks. That'll open up a lot more hunting ground for us in the fall time.

| Need to put a slip clutch on cutter .Dad pulled a combine for year with a D 14 and when i put bush hog on it and hit stumps it twisted pto shaft where it engages inside tractor. PS not an over running clutch you can control that with the big stick. |

2nd the slip clutch for safety, and suggest you get that cutter set where you are cutting with the front lower vs. totally flat in the videos. Slow is the key with the older smaller tractors, don't push them as getting in a hurry then hitting an obstruction will ruin your day for sure. New to you land can be hiding some surprises like rocks, old stumps, etc. and major internal damage can result before you know it. Running 20 - 45 beef cows, I have 25 acres owned with 100 attached to mine leased and use multiple D15 units, both Series One and Series Two that have cleared land, years of brush cutting (both mine and commercially) and although they are a bit dated they are a blast to use. If you will be plowing and or discing, keep the implements sized to the tractor and she will last a long time. Good idea to walk new to you land thoroughly before brush cutting; I used to walk commercial properties and had to walk away from some jobs due to obstructions like rocks, old fencing wire/steel tee posts and even scrap steel when they advised the property was "clean". Have fun with the old girl!

I apologize for my ignorance, but what exactly is a slip clutch? Is it something that I can pick up at a TSC or Rural King? |

Slip clutch allows the drive shaft to slip should the blades hit an obstacle. You should be able to find on at your implement dealer; just have the name/model of your brush cutter handy. After you install it. you may need to modify your drive shaft as the slip clutch will shorten the distance to your pto shaft. ------------- What this country needs is more unemployed politicians-and lawyers.

If you can find a later model AC 160 bush hog, most of the ones I have seen have a rattle clutch, in front of a clicker clutch (over-running clutch)... On yours, I would add a slip clutch, if it does not already have a shear bolt clutch. Here's a picture, you will have to shorten the drive line, a little... https://www.agrisupply.com/pto-slip-clutch/p/32323/" rel="nofollow - https://www.agrisupply.com/pto-slip-clutch/p/32323/ Not much need for a or clutche on a d-series tractor, you can always shift the pd clutch to neutral, to stop the tractor, without stopping the mower, but it does help, in changing gears, on the fly...
