You are correct, but the swing cylinders were apparently used on more than that model backhoe. I ran the cylinder part number on TractorHouse and the 555's showed up in the search. Didn't look to see if they listed the model number or go back to FNH to check if it was used on whatever model hoe...

Knowing what model tractor the hoe is attached to may help searching salvage yards, then hopefully they will list what hoe is mounted on it. I have found it easier on older equipment to use the OEM part number for the specific part you're looking for. Messick's has a complete parts diagram...

I can give you a few salvage yards we deal with that may swap what you have for what they have, if they have the correct size. But I would expect to pay some boot, but you never know. I'm sure those center wheel discs were used on several different models, so that is a plus. Finding decent rims...

I usually put out more than I really need because you never know what kind of year you will have with the weather. This year was such the case with the long drought we had. The mulching with leaves saved them this year. They came on late this year before really producing. But I normally have a...

Mine may take longer because of the low % brine. 2.5% works great for me. This is only my 3rd year of making it, and it's always been good. Weighing shredded cabbage in grams, then multiplying by .025 to get the amount of salt in grams to keep it consistent. Just keep shredding in approx. 89 qt...

Without a picture of the whole tractor, I'm assuming what you have is a Ferguson F-40. Depending on what manuals you need there are quite a few on ebay: Ferguson F-40 Manual for sale | eBay Looks like a heck of a deal on a good used OEM reprint service manual for $26 & change. I have purchased...

I have friends that have made it for years, plus everything I've read says it takes 5-6 weeks. Even the recipe from the National Center for Canning National Center for Home Food Preservation - National Center for Home Food Preservation It sure doesn't take long for it to start working, it...

Rains from Hurricane Helene got the cabbage kicked back in gear, can't believe how much they grew in a couple weeks, especially without splitting. Chance of a killing frost tonight so got in gear this morning and got things ready to make Sauerkraut. Making 8 gallons this year, the 5 gallons...

Dieselscout80 is absolutely correct. You have pressed steel wheels and they are set as narrow as it will go. Whereas a tractor set up for Ag./row crop use has a 2 piece set up with a center dish, and looped rim. Width can be adjusted by setting loops on either side of the center dish, or even...

So it's now showing charge..?? I thought maybe you'd have to re-polarize the voltage regulator.

Easy to identify by using Google to run the OEM part numbers cast into parts found. M1782T is a clutch housing for a John Deere 40 or 420. M64 is a JD 40, or 420 engine block. Both would have to be gone over closely looking for cracks/breaks to know if they are really worth something. If you...

It does look like the arms should drop more. How far may be determined by unhooking the subsoiler and drop the draft arms as far as they will go, standing on them if necessary, and see if they will drop further. Looking at it from the side it looks like the shank is if not plumb, maybe a...

I tried a wedge from one a buddy grows for farm market. Too sweet for me, I prefer a more balanced flavor. While he raved about them, they just didn't turn my crank, but he loves sweet stuff, me not so much, other than a dessert item.

Picked another 60+ lbs. of tomatoes yesterday to make into juice. Still that many more will be ready to pick on Friday or Saturday. I'm done for the year, time to call folks who normally pick to can up some goodies. I'm really impressed with how they did this year considering the drought we had...

Not familiar with the chain set up on it, but normally where the chains attach to the connection point on the tractor is usually a "U" shaped clevis with a pin through it. Remove the clevis, and drop some links sliding dropped links back, so the clevis goes through and pulls on the front of the...

Well, that's good news I guess, at least for now. If you've suffered drought conditions like here those stemmy weeds are really tough. Once you get it tamed down and mowing more tender weeds & grass, it should handle it much better. About all you can do now is take a smaller swath, except on an...

Do I recall you had a spark tester, hopefully pocket type..?? If so, I'd carry it along if it does it again. Spark needs to be tested right then and there to determine if it is ignition problems, or fuel. Heck, pulling a plug wire will work if not. Even though you checked a bit afterwards and...

Good deal..!! Glad to hear you got it running. You've gained some valuable information/experience to pass on to others now. Curious if it have live PTO, or a 2 stage clutch PTO can be engaged before tractor starts moving). I'm seeing they were available with either.

I tried that 25-30 years ago because I was pinched for time. Within a few years, it was spalling pretty bad. I even threw in extra portland cement for good measure. It will pay off in the end to use correct materials.

A sneaky way to get 12V to the coil would be to run a wire from the terminal on the side of the starter solenoid that energizes the solenoid. That way you only have 12V to coil when engaging the starter. In the schematic, I think I'm seeing a wire running from part #61 to the input side of the...

Although Case/IH shows that ballast resistor as being N/A, NAPA shows one for less than $8, and it's Balkamp brand...

Did the roll pin come out to let it drop or go up to damage it like that..?? Seems it would have sheared it if it got caught on something. I checked Case Construction, and it says N/A. Saw a used one, but when you go to the site Roberts Tractor Parts Camden, OH) it shows it's out of stock...

Might try cleaning out as much old grease as you can, then make a half damn on the hole with grease. Spray penetrant in the hole, replace zerk and try and pump grease. You'll get some resistance, but hold pressure on it. Once the liquid starts through, grease will follow. A decent gun will...

Since you have a multi-meter I'd check voltage going into the distributor when engaging the starter by grounding one lead and touching the other to the stud on the side of the distributor. You should see 12 volts. When you let off the starter switch/button, you should see 6 volts. They are...

Hopefully you have it on TDC on the compression stroke on #1 cylinder (Cylinder at the front of engine.) If on the exhaust stroke, you will probably get a serious backfire, when it fires on the exhaust stroke, if it happens to be on #1, nothing if TDC on another cylinder, unless spark jumps...

Those issues also make me wonder how hard the PO worked that tractor. Just ginning around or let set idling for long periods of time could cause the cylinders to glaze.

Picked 65-70 lbs. of tomatoes today for salsa and juice tomorrow. Amazed how well they are doing in this drought, super juicy inside. Plants are still nice & green and producing. Mulch definitely saved the day this year. Everyone else's around are dried up and dying.

Juliet Grape tomatoes are just now coming on. Tasty little boogers. Can't believe how well the tomato plants look with no rain now for 4 weeks, even then it was a 10 minute heavy downpour of 1". Leaf mulch definitely saved them. Sliced a Celebrity Plus this evening and couldn't believe how...

You bet. Make sure the serial number for your machine is in the group for this manual. There are 2 different manuals, with serial number splits.

Says free download. Bobcat B250 Loader Backhoe Service Repair Manual SN 572911001 AND Above.pdf

I found a free pdf. download on Bobcats site of a repair manual for a B250 online, but accidently deleted the link and can't seem to bring it back up, but it did show a differential rearend, driven by a driveshaft. Noise may have been a u-joint letting loose..??

Mulching my Pumpkins with leaves sure seem to have really helped keeping them weed free, and survive the drought conditions here may have caused another issue. After the vines died down, I dropped the ball with spraying for pests. I'm not sure if the leaf mulch created a place for Squash bugs to...

I bought one here back in the early 80's: Spark Plug Cleaner It still works great, and I still use it pretty often. After getting mine Dad bought one from Harbor Freight, it also works very well. Last time I looked Harbor Freight didn't sell them anymore, but there are many on Amazon and are...

Alrighty..!!

Approx. 12 years ago I bought new Dexter brake assemblies, from the backing plate out for my old Eager Beaver trailer. When I removed the brake drum to bolt it to the axle, I noticed the bearings were made in China. They came amply pre-greased, so basically plug & play. Within 500 miles, the...

Mine have matured and vines dying back. I have some very nice pumpkins, but squash bugs are eating holes in the skins of some mature pumpkins. I planted some 10-15 pounders with warts, they did very well. Plan to save seed from at least one for next year. Should have gotten a pic yesterday...

The garden is finally starting to produce, even in the near drought conditions we're experiencing. I've been picking a few tomatoes, and had a woman show up yesterday evening and picked a couple bushel to can. Peppers of all kinds are producing well she picked a couple dozen Jalapeno's to make...

By the time those modern machines get the age of that 444, they probably be setting in a salvage yard because of all the electronics being inoperable, or just too expensive to fix if parts are even available. I have a friend who brought his 2 year old approx. 60 hp Mahindra to dig some post...

If the 2 stage clutch is properly adjusted, they work great. It will allow you to change directions, but the brush hog will keep turning until you push further down on the clutch pedal. Sure beats waiting for the brush hog to wind down to stop to shift, and don't have to have an over running...

☹️☹️

We're pretty fortunate to have them in the area. They rebuild diesel pumps, sell new ones and any parts needed. Lots of other engine/electrical components too. But looks like it was sold out to another owner and don't see WICO parts listed, so I may need to find another source myself. But, I'll...

Still in business..!! https://www.standardmagneto.com/index.htm I got OEM parts for a WICO mag on a Wisconsin engine 3-4 years ago at a local diesel supply which I believe is now a part of Colt Industries. I took my old set in to show the parts guy what I needed. He turned around walked in...

Next time you change the filter remove the copper washer and take it along with you to a parts store where you get your filter and get a new copper crush washer. Normally I suggest checking Case/IH to compare prices vs. aftermarket/auto parts stores prices. Saved you the time and checked...

More than likely a 2 stage clutch.

I thought what I brought up was the whole set, not listed individually. I know they sold them individually years ago, or complete set. My buddy was the parts guy, I just needed a condenser at that time, he told me to get the whole set, it was only a couple dollars more. But still think the...

The only problem I've had with Champions is they will carbon up after running a while due to a coating they put on at the factory, at least they did. We had a member of the tractor club that was a mechanic for South Central Power, he told us to get a sandblaster style plug cleaner, clean them up...

Prices must be different than what is posted on their site.

If this is a true scenario, I'd check #4. 15 years or so ago had a new mechanic with not much experience went out to diagnose the same problem on a 2 year old approx. 85-85 hp Deere mowing tractor. Got clicking when he tried to start as the operator had said. He ordered a new starter and put it...

AI information output, is no better than what has been programmed in. On newer tractors with computer systems, even technicians have to plug in their analyzer to find out what's wrong. Gone are the days when an experienced mechanic could listen or see what's going on to diagnose problems...

I believe this is one of the brands I mentioned where the quality may be questionable. Not sure if TSC sells any other brands though. I have read in numerous threads where the rub blocks get soft and bend after running a while, but not sure how long. I did have that experience on the M-F TO-35 I...

I am assuming this is limestone, not crushed gravel. Crushed limestone packs much better if you have an option of material. One thing to note, the more you grade it the more the fines will go to the bottom. Vibratory rollers are fine & dandy, bit if you're on a budget rolling with a rubber...

Pretty easy to do, but you may have to remove the white side panel on the left side to see them. There should be 2 timing marks on the crankshaft pulley. First mark should be the advance mark, second one should be TDC. From the front, engine should turn clockwise. If you can find those marks...

I'm not fond of composite wires but that's me. NAPA has a kit you can make your own, cut to fit, and put ends on. Just remember to slide boots on first. Some silicone spray helps them slip right on. Since you already have them, might as well run them and see how long they last. If they ever give...

You bet. If you need any more parts, go sort of to the top where you see the TN75, and select it. It will have the complete exploded view by function group of the whole tractor.

I'm going to assume your house sets on somewhat of a hillside, and they cut a flat bench to build on. That being said if that is the case, cutting that bench has gotten closer to the level the spring is perking out. Seeing what you have in mind to install, depending on how close to the...

I thought it was strange no pages of the C-153 engine only, showed the solenoid. That's where your hard copy parts book should come in. I don't know if they used the manual adjusting needle on any models before using a solenoid on carbs with the same model number. But using that model number...

I have to agree those style brakes can give you fits, but unless the bull pinion shaft seal is leaking, they can be cleaned up well and work like new again. I have 4 IH tractors here with that style brakes on them and also had and old Case 310B backhoe with the same style brakes but got them all...

There "should" be a brass tag somewhere on the carb with a model number. Should be riveted on the side, or on the bottom. Case/IH shows 3 different ones were used. But use that model number on the carb to find parts. Maybe type into Google the model number diagram, or the model number power...

I've seen gears a whole lot worse, but being you had to lube the bendix to get it to work somewhat better, wondering if it wasn't fully retracting causing wear on the flywheel teeth. Most have a pretty sharp edge. Some straight, some on a bevel. Welds on the exhaust pipe aren't pretty, almost...

I did a quick search for a fuel solenoid on the C-153 engine and by luck came upon a thread for one on a 444. Easier for me to post the link to that thread: 444 Fuel Shutoff Solenoid Then did a search for a "load adjusting needle" for a C-153: C-153 adjustable load needle - Google Search...

Welcome to the club. I've completely rewired more than several wiring harnesses over the years from small farm tractors to garden tractors. Some in the condition you have, to surgical bypasses which looks like yours may have one or two, to 12V conversion hack jobs. The empty fuse holder seen...

Found these underneath another tomato plant that either the wind blew over from storms in the last couple of days, or Deer. Not really sure what they are. Not shaped like the Juliet tomatoes and much too small for the Celebrity, or Beefsteak. Look more like a Cherry of some sort. Couldn't resist...

Thanks for the correction. The engagement lever looks just like the one the 301's we had. #2 is the pin that would shear. But like you, seeing that collar and possible galling on the shaft could very well be the problem.

Hopefully this is a better wiring diagram than you have. Wiring Diagram 354-374-444 – International Harvester Heritage Association Note it is for a U.K. model so you'll have to compare to what you have. Looks like it'd be a lot easier to print those pages off if you're on a PC and have a...

If you open this link:https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/16923/referrer/navigation/pgId/115741 It will take you to the John Deere online parts book for the 301, and one of several PTO set ups. Don't know if your 301 is set up with a mid-mount PTO, if not there are several...

If you don't mind me sending your pics to a friend, he's pretty knowledgeable on small planters like that, I'll see if he may have an idea.

I've seen stunted like that during a rainy Summer that lays wet and can't drain. I'm somewhat fortunate mine has some slope to it and drains well. But during real heavy rains it will wash soil somewhat downhill. I used to plow rolling the dirt uphill with the 2 bottom plow I have, but have to...

I'll assume you've been having some dry conditions too seeing a couple of the tips either not completely filled or starting to dent. Or, like here pretty sure Aphids cut the silk off some ears here, did completely pollinate but had some dented kernels at the end. My buddy picked some from a...

Odd it has a "0" as the first number, technically making it a 5 digit serial number, instead of 4 making it a 70 model, which started the 5 digit serial numbers. Can't say I've ever seen any serial number, on any brand start with a zero. Older IH's serial numbers generally start with 501...

Funny how people have different tastes. I grew up with Miracle Whip so there's that. I like Mayo too, but only really prefer the Kraft brand. A friend from the South told me I just had to try Duke's, it's the best ever. They didn't have it here until a few years ago so picked up a jar. Tried it...

Pulled 4 ears of sweet corn for supper last evening, sure tasted good..!! My tomatoes aren't ready yet, so traded some sweet corn for some tomatoes my buddy had from plants I gave him. He watered his all along, so his came on earlier. Made one of my Summer staples, a couple bacon, egg and...

Brake hanging up/sticking sounds like one of the springs, or more that hold the actuator plates together may be broken, and slotted ramps the ball bearings ride in may be rusted along with those ball bearings. They are pretty easy to service. Disconnect the brake rod, remove the bolts holding...

Buddy of mine came over yesterday and got 8 ears of Silver Queen for him & his wife. Looks decent even with the lack of rain we've had. I mulched it too with leaves, seems to have done its job. He had tomatoes from plants I'd given him, definitely an advantage of only having 8-10 plants and...

Spinosad is very effective for potato beetles, guessing it would get these too. It's sold under various names. Easier to just use Google to search for Spinosad and see where you can buy it locally. It's rated organic if that makes a difference. I use it here for potato bugs, flea beetles, etc...

What model year..?? I'd have to guess there are different seal for the un-styled/styled models. Cost would depends on who does the work. You, local mechanic, or dealer.

This is pretty much what we've used here since 1954. David Bradley sold by Sears years ago. Still a lot of them out there for sale but have to be in the right spot at the right time. Many think they are worth their weight in gold. I've never paid over $100 and all have had an attachment or two...

I'd be careful mounting them in tandem, even though you may have enough room to get it on with the mower down, it may jam the PTO shaft when raising and ruin the new overrun clutch. Now that I think about it that may be the problem now. If raised too high, or when crossing a swale, it may have...

Found a couple baby Pumpkins this morning while spraying..!!

And why I was wondering if anyone had one, and how well they work. Seeing how I was disappointed in the drop rate for the Pumpkin plate, hate to spend $50 to be disappointed again. I did find a repro 16 tooth sprocket on ebay for the Brinly planter. Looks laser cut out of plate steel and...

Got the tomatoes mulched yesterday, have an abundance of leaves so mulched the sweet corn too.

Several gas 841's @ TractorHouse: Pardon Our Interruption in salvage, one listed at the bottom has air filter setting on the seat. Doesn't mean it is still there/not sold, but only takes a phone call to find out.

Actually, grass clippings are around 4% nitrogen, so you could be adding to the problem.

Some parts resemble parts on my IH mower, but don't really know. I'd look on pulleys or cast pieces and look for a part number. Most IH parts end with R1. Take a pic, or write it down then do a Google search. Something ought to pop up.

I can buy it from a local cover crop seed sales but it's $1.14 per lb. WCS Pricing - Walnut Creek Seeds Not sure where it is elsewhere. I tried it 4-5 years ago for a Fall cover crop but an early Oct. frost terminated it too soon. It was a 50/50 mix with Oats to build OM. The plan was for it to...

My buddy had a similar stand of volunteer Buckwheat last year. His Bee's loved it. I remember back in I believe the late 70's before used for cover crop when farmers were looking at diversifying different crops a local farmer planted 75 acres or so. I remember the scent when in bloom, and it...

Nitrogen is very hygroscopic, meaning it will easily draw moisture from the air. If you've had much rain or high humidity it will just keep drawing moisture until it gets diluted. As mentioned above, mixing it with some "browns" leaves, straw, etc., will help in breaking those items down...

Ran the part number and pictures of it look similar to the one's on the A.B, C models. Personally, I have filled that type with gas and let them set for a while to break down oil & dirt collected, dump, refill again and let set again for a while. 3rd time fill maybe half full and shake it, dump...

Can't tell you the exact size, but being built in Italy you can pretty much bet they are metric. About any parts store, or farm supply store should have them. From TSC to Auto Zone, even Harbor Freight carries them. If you can remove one to compare size would probably be best. If it has...

Actually, wait until the following Spring and plow them down. 4"-6" of leaves pretty well breaks down into fine compost by then. Really improves the soils organic material and mellows it out.

A friend of mine told me she saw on Facebook where someone had a dozen or so tomatoes and birds working on them. Went to a Dollar store and bought metal mesh trash cans for a buck apiece and used them for a cover until plants got large enough not to have to worry about them. Great idea if you...

Yep, 100% leaves gathered from neighbors plus a buddy of mine helped a friend of his with a lawn service that offers leaf pickup. He brought in 8-10 loads like pictured below.

Lawn trailer pulled by a garden tractor. Loaded with a Bobcat, spread with a pitchfork. Took 2 evenings, about 2.5 hrs. each. It took a little physical labor, but not nearly as much as hoeing around all of that stuff for the rest of the season in 85º heat. As Pap used to say, "Some people pay...

You've already got your answer from the pro's, but I'm really not a fan of tube type silicones for sealant. Guess I've taken enough old tactors apart where PO's have been pretty liberal with the blue, red, gray, or black "goop". Beads on the inside have broken loose on oil pans, and was found on...

Look at the right front corner of the engine block above the magneto/distributor drive near the head. There will be a flat boss there. On several of my tractors, including one Suer C, the S/N is stamped in there and all match the S/N stamped in the tags. You may have to clean/scrape/sand/brush...

Could be a bad ground too. Check your cables on both ends, especially the chassis end. You have enough current to light the lights, just not enough to ground out the starter.

Wood. If you don't have any, Wally-World or Dollar General/Dollar stores have them for cheap.

Try the penetrate, if it won't take grease, cut the groove.

Like SPYDERLK said check for spark, maybe pat/slap the coil to see if it is extremely hot, and why you want to pat or slap it, not just lay your hand on it. If you have spark, could quite possibly be vapor locking if you're pushing it pretty hard. Temperature gauge working..?? If you have...

If it's possible to get the hole the zerk goes in straight up, clean out hole, then fill with a liquid penetrate of any kind. Put zerk back in and try to pump grease in. A good gun should have at least 10K psi and that should be enough to force the liquid through and the grease will follow...

Probably a good bet it's the fuel pump diaphragm. A good mower shop should have them in stock, probably around $2.00. I get them by the 10 pack off ebay usually for +- 75 cents each. Pays to have them on hand if you run ethanol laced fuel. Alcohol makes them stiff and won't pump fuel. It's...

Am I reading right that you didn't remove the pin from the ram end..?? Note I did say I purged my cylinder with pin removed. Depending on your compressors max. PSI, the best you'll get in force is psi X cylinder ID and not nearly enough to move much if still fully connected. Most newer...

We got right at 3" of rain over a 4 day period here last week. We had 3 days of warm sunny weather since Sunday but would be tough to get it dry on that saturated soil, without beating it to pieces with the tedder. Endophyte free fescue is over 3' tall, red clover and alfalfa mixed in is 2' tall...

With the ram end disconnected, you could always use air pressure too. I did that for a loader bucket cylinder on my 480 Case when seals needed to be replaced.

Don't know if you ever use Rotel, Tomatoes & Green Chilis but I found a copycat recipe several years ago for it and it's pretty darn close. I also use the Ms. Wages mixes, good stuff. Canned Tomatoes & Chilies: Rotel Copycat Recipe Servings: 6 -7 pints Calories: Ingredients 12 cups cored...

250 lbs. of potatoes planted at Smeck Historical Farm Park Baltimore, OH. in about 40-45 minutes today. Gawd I love this little planter..!!

I did that several years ago. Bought Irish Spring in a bulk pack. Took an old hunting knife I got in a junk box at auction and cut in quarters. It cuts very easy. Took a 1/4" drill bit also from a junk box, and drilled holes in those pieces. Ran a zip tie through them and hung from T-posts...

I assume it's part #6 in this exploded view. https://parts.agcocorp.com/us/en/apbsearch?q=masseyferguson/651199/l&c=74 Part number is 731999M1. M-F dealer price is $5.37, aftermarket a couple bucks. OEM specs show's .891", other show a 7/8" plug. NAPA or any decent parts store should have it.

I hope the supplier replaced for free. I can't imagine your order being the only one. I have heard of organic seed containers being stored, surrounded by containers of treated seed to prevent infestation. Not sure how well that works though. I have buddy who bought one of those small...

Was the seed treated..??

Welcome.

Dunham-Lehr was bought out by Farmhand, then in turn bought by AGCO. There is an old school dealer in Coldwater, Ohio that may be able to help you: The Coldwater Implement Co. If the same fellow is there that worked the parts counter that was there 5-6 years ago he may be able to at least point...

Even though you have great brakes sounds like they need adjusted up. "Ample free play in the pedals" is the giveaway. The rod going in the back of the brake drum has a "T" on the end called a cam. The T spreads the brake shoes. Brake shoes may be worn enough, or the cam is also worn some and the...

Spinosad and BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) Copy and paste either to a search engine as I'm sure both are sold under many name brands. BT is mainly for worm and caterpillars, works great for cabbage. Plus, I plant some Daikon Radishes along side or in between rows the same time I set the cabbage...

Spraying Peppermint extract (2 TBS. per gallon of water) has worked well for me. It needs to be applied every 7-10 days, sooner after a good rain. I buy it by the quart from Olive Nation Pure Peppermint Extract - TTB the least expensive place I've found it. They sell it in smaller bottles if...

Marked out a couple rows with the David Bradley yesterday evening while the kids enjoyed some lush green grass, then did a test run with the Brinly planter behind the 953 Wheel Horse. Found a plate that will drop one kernel at a time or miniature ornamental corn, and should work for popcorn or...

Cabbage plants looking pretty good. Hope they don't get too big and outgrow the trays. Picture on the right is of plants grown from seed I saved from a plant that survived the previous winter. Dug it up before plowing and put in a bucket of water for a few days until I got the garden worked...

Two trays of Beet transplant's up in about 3.5 days. Temp was set at 70º in the chamber, grow light on 12 hrs. a day. So far, so good...

There's still the option of posting the want to buy ad. You never know what is out there. When I've posted them I usually get a response within 1 hour, to 36 hours.

Checked the soil temp yesterday morning in sod and in the garden. Right at 70º so put in some onion sets, finished out the row with a few snap peas, and beside that 40 rows 20' long of some old sweet corn seed I found. Doesn't matter if we get a late frost and kills it, just wanting to check the...

2 listed for salvage at TractorHouse: Pardon Our Interruption Just have to call and see if the blocks are still available, or any good. If you strike out there, you can post a free "want to buy" ad. Look top right of page under search bar.

Pulled several varieties of squash plants out of the germination chamber yesterday evening. Most are Spaghetti Squash several are from seeds I saved from a personal sized one from the grocery 2 years ago. Seeds still seem fairly viable. 2 are Loofa Sponge plants from seed my 90 year old Aunt...

"Noting on the other side" may be attributed to the points not making contact in the position the distributor is setting in. Take a simple test light touch the post on the post going to distributor and ground it out. With ignition switch on and in neutral turn the engine over with the starter...

wolc123, I thought of you Thursday, I went to my cousin's house to pick up a potato digger I agreed to buy from him. After visiting for a while with him and his brother they said come on, let's go for a ride, I had no idea where we were going, other than we were going to "Sam's" for a tour...

Not sure about others, but the seals on my Case Backhoe's swing cylinders are cupped and must face in the correct direction. Someone has been into it before I got it and had one of 2 sets in backwards. That and not having the bolt that holds the piston together and to the ram tight. Loosened...

First I'd make sure the starter has a good ground to chassis. Removing a mounting bolt and buff the starter mounting ear, run the bolt in and out several times and make sure the lock washer bites in good. Even though the ground cable looks good where it mounts, remove and clean that area too...

12.5 dozen tomatoes plants started of several varieties. Some peppers, and spaghetti squash in there too. Got a few peppers peeking out in 6 days. Got the garden rolled over today. Maybe not perfectly dry enough but it's done. Love this little hillside plow..!! Leaving the strip of Rye in...

Maybe consider using the peppermint extract spray. Nothing touches any plants here with it on. Only takes 2 TBS. per gallon of water. I add it to my pesticide sprays later to save time. Without rain it will last 2 weeks. Even after a rain enough scent left for a couple of days until I can get...

Even the discharge nozzle/emulsion tube whatever you prefer to call it..?? Those need to be removed to be cleaned. Check the cross drilled holes.

Cabbage after hours. Moved all to the green house except the red cabbage, none showing yet. If I remember correctly it took it a little longer last year to come up, so leaving it in the chamber and see what happens. Second pic is of the Brussels Sprouts @ 72 hrs., probably another 48 hours...

Another 8 hours and more Greenboy cabbage up, plus a few Copenhagen up. Can't see the largest one at left front, it showed on the phone screen, but didn't catch it. Will probably put them in the green house tomorrow evening so they don't get leggy.

A buddy of mine had the same thing happen last year reseeding itself. He was figuring on tilling it up and reseeding. I told him he better wait and see if anything comes up, he may not need to. He wanted to leave it fallow for a couple of years so as to keep weeds down, plus food for his Bee's...

Looky what was peeking back at me this morning when I checked the germ chamber. Put them in about 4:00 p.m. Tue. afternoon and checked it this morning around 9:00. 2nd. generation Greenboy Cabbge seed I saved last from Summer. Up in approx. 36 hrs. It will be interesting to see what they make...

I put 12 dozen cabbage seeds, 5 dozen pepper seeds, and 1 dozen Brussels Sprout seeds in the germination chamber yesterday. Pretty well on track for getting early items started and set date of around Memorial Day weekend. Not getting too excited as I was reminded of the old saying "When it...

I'm not sure it's worth the effort to put a temp gauge on, as the thermosyphon system is quite efficient, as long as the coolant is at the proper level. You'd have to work it very hard on a hot day to even worry about it. But if it makes you feel more comfortable, knock yourself out. I pulled...

There should be a tag riveted inside the seat support on the gear shift side with the serial number stamped on it. If it's there write it down then open this link :TractorData.com Farmall Super A tractor information and scroll down towards the bottom. There is a list of years and serial numbers.

I wouldn't be bit surprised if it comes with at least a light coat of industrial primer. I've seen a lot of gearboxes at work for heavy equipment, and on the farm come this way. And usually pretty clean on the outside as far as oil residue. But if it does come bare metal and a slight bit of...

That's why many I guess as well as me use the 15W/40 diesel engine oil. Supposed to have a higher level of zinc added. I use Rural King's oil Providence Oil made by Warren Oil and actually the 15W/40 is less expensive than their SAE 30HD. Both have anti-wear additives. They cut back on the...

You can cheack around your area for tractor salvage yards, you might get a decent deal. Case/IH actually lists it for $41.25 but shows out of stock, but not available. Used one's in some salvage yards are running $54+. One on ebay for $25 plus $6+ for shipping. USED FRONT AXLE STOP "U" BOLT FOR...

For that old of a tractor that's probably not bad. Original owner may have used non-detergent, then somewhere along the line someone went with detergent washing it down over the years. I wouldn't be a bit afraid of going with SAE 30HD. Just be sure when you change the oil filter to make sure...

Oh, I definitely watched it, but have also been to enough scrap yards they have or have had in the past enough help around to sort stuff like that out. That's primo scrap, no rusty stuff, probably going to select buyers that will pay more for that type of scrap that will justify the sorting...

Maybe in small amounts, but a container full of clean NOS parts more than likely will. Or could be they are going to a parts reseller as mentioned.

SAE 30. Whether detergent or non may depend on what the previous owner used if gotten from original owner but betting they switched to detergent somewhere along the line unless a purist. Take a good flashlight and pull the oil fill cap off the valve cover and look. If it's valve train is clean...

I reckon' there is only one way to find out... I have a 61 year old Wheel Horse 953 that was only made one year in '63. They did make a model 1054 the next year, but about the only difference was they increased the hp. I got into garden tractor plowing last year and plowed at several...

If you look at the wheels themselves, the right side should be a cast center wheel about 1-1/2" thick while the left is a pressed type disc balancing out the weight between sides I'm assuming for an average operators weight on level ground. And depends on what the PO mostly used it for. For...

Let me rephrase that, discontinued models that may not use the same part in newer models. Bearings & seals are usually standard item parts of a certain size across the board used in numerous applications. Flywheel ring gear could be used in several models. Heck I can still get them for my...

Find the OEM part number then search Google using that number alone. You may be amazed what shows up in the results.

First let me say I know absolutely nothing about a Yanmar 276, but does that tractor have a differential lock, and was it engaged, or did you just engage it when a, or the right wheel start to spin..?? If so, I'd suspect something in the differential let loose, ie: broken gear(s) internally, or...

First thing, starter should have a good clean connection to the bell housing to be able to ground well. Buff the surfaces to get a bright surface. Second is battery cables. If it has automotive size like 4 gauge, those are way too small. Minimum should be at least 1/0, 2/0 is even better. With...

15 years ago I replaced the brakes, bearings & hubs on my old Eager Beaver tri-axle trailer. I bought the kits from Dexter Axle that includes everything from the backing plate out. Noticed when packing the bearings they had China stamped in them. Wasn't happy about that, but gotta' be Dexter...

Many companies only stock parts for 10 years. Actually saw that at an Oliver/White warehouse when they had one on Columbus, Ohio. Went with a buddy to pick up some parts on will call since it was so close, and would save a day or so before going through the pipeline to the dealership. Also...

A Father & son own this belt powered rock crusher, and crush stone at a couple of our shows every year. Thinking they gave $500 for it. In this video they are powering it with I believe a 35 hp steam engine but has been easily powered with a small 15 hp steam engine, and even belted a Farmall H...

That looks like a Wisconsin engine. I'd be tempted to pull the plug out, roll engine to TDC, then put a 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone in the cylinder. Amount would vary, but like enough to puddle up where you can see it through the hole. Pu the plug back in and let it set for a day or so, then...

Looking at a picture of the 40U, it looked like the top of the air cleaner connection is lower than the manifold ports and why I thought it may have gas in it too. I had an MT years ago but sold it. Nice tractors.

If the fuel level in the tank is/was higher than the manifold intake ports in the head, and air cleaner hose connections were good & tight, like any other liquid it will seek its own level. That also means the air cleaner is also full of gas up to the level of the intake ports where the manifold...

I'm amazed how well that disc plow works in the black slabby ground and clay also. I was always led to believe they were mainly for sandy bottom ground. A 2 bottom like that would look great behind my 130 or 140 w/FH. Our tractor club has plowing says in the Fall, one of those would be a great...

On a very much smaller scale I gather leaves for mulch in the garden. My neighbor has long needled pines along the edge of his yard. I had him blow leaves from other trees into windrows, but he also blew the pine needles into a windrow. I used my lawn-vac with a 12' remote hose and handle to...

I'd imagine a lot has to do with the pulley size on the generator.

Have you tried checking through a dealership..?? Looking in the AGCO partsbook it shows The PN to be 194614M1. #38 in the parts list. Off to the right it says "check alternate part". When I select that, it says to " Contact dealer for availability". Searching Google I got 10 results. 1 original...

I'd advise whatever brand you get, get one with 2 lift cylinders. It will give you twice the lifting power, although slower. Not sure what 3 pt. attachment you'll be using to move the dirt & gravel, but sound like fairly heavy loads. A single cylinder unit has the tendency to bend/break the bell...

Welcome... I have a 480, so have a few of those too. I'm just too tight to buy a pair, LOL.. Just keep looking for a pair at flea markets and boxes of "stuff" at auctions, but nothing yet. Until then I'll use the pry method.

I love my Honda tiller(s). I started off with a FR600 from a local rental place that was selling off some of their equipment in 1998. Pretty sure they said it was 3 years old and showed plenty of use, and I'm sure abuse. It impressed me that it started on the first pull and ran like a charm. It...

***It sounds to me like it’s not going into gear all the way, I noticed he was messing with the shifter for a few seconds to get it to back up. A guess on my part.*** That's what it sounds like to me. It'd be nice to find a manual for it and see if there is adjustment on the shifting linkage...

Proper tool would be a set of retaining ring pliers but they are pretty pricey a decent set are around $50. I have removed them using a couple similar pry bars like in the second picture drop them in the space and pry against each other and walk one end out of the groove. Equal force "should"...

You may laugh but this is my go to, to plant sweet corn, and I have a garden way, planter for my David Bradley and a Brinly. Dad bought it from Sears in 1954 (the same year I was born), along with his David Bradley 2-wheel garden tractor and host of implements. From 1959 when he bought a Farmall...
