I understand this a pretty old post, but are any available?

I need some help. I am ignorant of the technique of using a plasma torch. I recently purchased a CUT-40, 40 Amp Plasma Cutter DC Inverter 120/240V Dual Voltage Cutting Machine. The claim is that it easily cuts 1/2" steel. Here's a picture of today's effort. The screw is the pivot, the top-most...

Something arbingated the shaft seal on the fel pump for the Bolens. I do not know what brand the pump is and there are no markings that I can find except for what looks like casting numbers on the three main pieces. Attached are pictures of the input end plate showing the loused up seal area. Ho...

The valve body on the splitter is leaking. It's coming from a hole in the detent housing assembly. The only info I have is : HA-80 / PA-80 directional control valve 4 way tandem center 2 position arn. circa '70'S. Is there a seal in the detent housing allowing a bypass? It looks like it wants to...

I recently stripped an old Craftsman garden tractor to the frame and axles. The flat frame surface is a super platform for the generator. Through drilled some holes from the bottom side and welded two (so far) bolts in place. It keeps the generator secure. Fashioned up a steering/tow bar between...

This splitter cylinder retracts great, but has no energy splitting. Different valves make no difference. Must be the seals inside? So, I figured out how to remove the first part, but have no idea how to unscrew the collar ring. There are two set screw holes, but only one had a set screw in it...

I have a Bolens large frame with a FEL on it. The PO used steel line from the valve body to hydraulic hose to the cylinders. The steel lines are 3/8" and use compression fittings. Needless to say they are always leaking. There are compression fitting type T's at the valve to enable equal...

The log splitter was working great until the cylinder wouldn't split the wood. It seems there's enough pressure to move the ram fore and aft and to cause the detent to work. Holding the lever at either direction to force a load does not change the engine rpm's or loading. The detent spring is...

It pains me to say this: I have almost 280 gallons of gasoline, 140G in each of two tanks, on my boat that is approaching five years old. The real pain comes from not having used the boat very much (not at all) in that time. At the time it was topped off I added more than the recommended amount...

I don't know what they are called. Hydraulic fittings that would have male/female pipe thread on one end and have threads that end in a sort of cone shape on the other. Kind of like typical gas stove connector fittings. What are these things called? Oh yeah... and what are the threads on that...

I reclaimed a cylinder from another splitter for my 'new' one. The cylinder was directly bolted to a VERY thick chunk of crossdrilled steel. The port for the cylinder was in the very end and fed to one of the galleries in that steel chunk. My new design now has that end port closed off. I...

A neighbor has a Case 160 with a 3 cylinder Perkins. The clutch was sent out for rebuild. He will be needing the torque specs for the flywheel, double clutch and pressure plate, but cannot find them in his manual. Where can I dig these specs up for him?

A friend has an old, c1970's, bucket truck with a 30 foot lift. It's losing height after the rise. It's now to the point that it slowly settles back down even though the control is used to raise. Can't even maintain height. There are two sets of controls, one set in the bucket, the other on the...

So all of my hydraulic equipment has a filter on it. And always on the return side. I understand the low pressure issue. But...what about protecting the pump? There was a gravity fed oil filter on my old log splitter that I do plan to install on the new one. But how about the other stuff? Will...

Thank you for your effort...

Didn't want to hijack the other thread about the ringed lawn roller. I do have some questions...: Certainly weight is important, but what about the diameter? Is it better to have a large diameter rather than smaller? Is the larger diameter more desirable only because of more weight? I like the...

I saw a thread in the recent past about pouring some concoction into drilled holes in a stump that accelerated it's demise. It was a two step process whereby the second step was to ignite some 'fluid' poured in the holes and it smoldered it's way through the stump including roots! Well, I'll be...

Is it possible to use a motor as a pump? Suppose I knew the rated output rpm's, and I spun it at that, used a gravity feed oil system, would it pump at it's input pressure?

Okay. Another info request. I found the tag on the cylinder. HYM-N2R-4X18, 1E7405-595-2B. So, I know it's an 18" stroke and 4" i.d. How can I find what pressure it's rated for? I have no idea the brand.

I have two Vickers pumps. V202P1351C 10 and a V105A |100|. The V202 is marked VIckers Vane Pump. I went to the Vickers/Eaton site for info but appqrently am too dumb to know how to navigate. Where can I go to find the flow, pressure and rpm requirements of these?

Is there an issue if using a larger flow control valve but actually having lesser flow? That is, would it be okay to flow less than 20 gpm through a 20 gpm valve?

Need some guidance. I turned the (very) old log splitter into a kit. I believe the only parts useable are the filter and the cylinder. Will be using them in the new splitter. I did read the glossary info provided (thanks, J_J) in another thread (Vickers Pump) and came away somewhat educated...

I have a Vickers pump on my log splitter. The ram moves slow, sort of has power. The engine is a 16 HP running about a 3" pulley, while the pump has about a ten inch pulley. The inlet and outlet ports are one inch. There are no numbers on the casting. How can I tell what the volume and pressure...

The FEL sometimes works great, other times not so much. Will get a scoop of sand, and at times it lifts it right up. Other times I have to 'pump' the lever to get it to move a bit. Also, at times, when it isn't acting right, I'll back away from the pile, and either at stop or start moving...

My son purchased a Pony about a year ago. Yesterday the engine power failed. A compression check showed the rr two cylinders to be in the low 60's. I'm thinking it's just a blown head gasket. Son is concerned that it needs a complete rebuild due to it's age. Are parts and gaskets still available...

A neighbor has a British model International 454 with a Delco-Remy distributor that needs bushings and a cap. Where can I find this for him? The shops around here can't seem to find anything. The distributor model is D 202-7953140. Thanks for any help.

Thank you for your effort.

Inherited a rather old homebuilt log splitter. It has some strange Sperry Vickers controls on it and a LOT of plumbing. I'd like to replace it all with the simpler detent type valves available today. Looking at the NT catalog I can see many types. How do I choose which is appropriate? I see...

Hi, all. I hope this is the correct forum for this brand/size tractor. If not please inform and I will change to the correct place. Am helping a neighbor with what he believes to be a 1968 International 434. It supposedly is a British model with a highley reworked/reclaimed 1501 loader. Since...

Heard it's not a good idea to fill the fronts. Why might that be? I would think it would help the tires...

The plate on the cylinder reads: HYM-N2R-4x18 and 1E 7405-595-2B. How can I find the brand and the max PSI for it? The end plates are at least an inch thick and the tie bolts are 3/8.

Dinko tractor with a fel. All was going smoothly. Used the fel a moderate amount today. Instantly, (no warning) no hydraulics. Pump input shaft spins, it has fluid, changed filter, no flow to the cylinders. Tried lever movement with no filter to see if there was any flow through..nothing there...

Most everything she planted is growing well. Unfortunately so are the weeds. Tilled it well in the spring. What can we use around veggies to keep the weeds down? Garden is 50 x 70, rather sandy and the uphill side is rather thick with sandstone. Noticed the farm fields around here can go brown...

I did a search for this, but can't seem to bypass my incompetance. I thought Junkman had some postings and pics on a home built tow behind lawn vac. Where can I find that info?

If you\'re a veteran.... Thank you for your effort.

I have read the posts from January and March on this subject. A lot of very good ideas. Will probably start the major work next summer. THis summer is dedicated to stabilizing the house and barn from any further weather intrusion.The barn will see the addition of rain gutters and downspouts...

I did a search for Slime. But I can't find any info on how much goes into the tire. I guess it may be on the bottle. I'm ready to try it again. I didn't have too much luck with it in the past. But the old rusted barbed wire I been running over is starting to get to me. I saw TSC has it in large...

Is this a \'drag\'? I found an 'attachment' layin' up against a tree a few weeks ago. I know it's pulled behind the tractor using chains. It has 50 'spikes' that are about 1/2 inch square and about 8 inches long. Some are missing. It's apparently an old piece of equipment, judging by the...

Purchasing a place with a very old barn. It's set in a notch in a side of a hill. From the east side you enter the 'ground' level. From the west (uphill side) you enter the 'main' level. The three walls that are against the ground are not in very good shape. The west wall is starting to buckle...

Veteran\'s.... If you‘re a veteran....Thanks for your effort....

I have a machine with an IHC 4 cylinder engine model C-135. I managed to find the tune-up parts for it, but am having a difficult time getting info for carb adjustment and other tune-up specs. Any suggestions?

Hey FRANZ!!!! Need your help. I got an e-mail from one of our TBN'rs asking about your post hole digger. Any chance of you posting some pictures of that?

There's an oil leak on my dirt-digger. It's somewhere in the engine compartment. Because of the honey-like, see-through effect, it's difficult to tell which join/fitting is letting it out. Is there a dye that can be added to the hydraulic oil that would give a tell tale?

I have a 54" 3 blade mower deck that I believe is warped. Just purchased the tractor and deck (used) last year. The lawn looked terrible when I tried it. Flipping the deck over I found that the blade tips have about a 1/2" space vertically! between them. I believe all three mounting surfaces are...
