    Need to find tires

    I've purchased several sets of tires through Simple Tire, when they run their 30%-40% off sales. Even ordered some hard to find 9.00-20's for my buddy's old Chevy dump truck. Couldn't beat the price on quality tires, with free delivery within 2 days.

    Keep ripping tubes

    Were the tires loaded before..?? Even if not, there'd a good chance the rims are rusty inside, and if not cleaned, will poke/rub holes in the tubes. I just replaced tires on my Farmall Super C last week, replacing a good set of used one's I put on 30 years ago. The original tires were not...

    stopped up grease joint

    Try removing the zerk, and clean the hole down to the pin. Fill the hole with solvent/penatrate, then reinstall the zerk. Put the grease gun on it, and push hard. Most guns put out 10,000-12000 psi. That much pressure will push the liquid a lot easier than the grease. Once the penatrate breaks...

    Farmall A engine confusion.

    It can overheat, if the belt isn't tight enough to turn the fan properly, radiator clogged, low on coolant, or chaff, dirt etc. covering, plugging the core/finns on the radiator. Being it has no water pump, it uses the Thermosyphon effect to cool the engine. It is not a pressurized system, like...

    Farmall A engine confusion.

    No, that's the fan bracket water outlet. Note the above pictures, of the other outlet (actually, the inlet) with pulley, that goes to the bottom radiator hose. I'll correct myself on the model of that engine. It's a Model U2-55 on mine. The U-2 unit was 113 cubic inches, when mine was overhauled...

    Tecumseh OH160/Case 1816

    Dad bought a used 1816 30 years ago, with no engine. He bought a new Tecumseh OH 160 through Padgett sales near Indianapolis. If I remember correctly, the standard crankshaft size is 1", but the 1816 OH160 engine crank was like 1-1/8" on the drive pulley end. They had a bushing that would size...

    Tecumseh OH160/Case 1816

    You might try doing a search in the Sears garden tractor section. I know they used that engine in the ST16 model, as I had one. I read up on them and most common problem was the ss ignition module, which is now N/A. But, have read threads where guys have simply cleaned, and adjusted the...

    I'm going to take a wild guess, and say it sounds like the engine spun either a rod, or main bearing.

    Spreader One-point Spreader 1968 IH Farmall 140

    No way I'm selling my spreader, LOL... Need it myself... Custom lime application must be getting expensive everywhere. Around here Farmers are buying their own spreaders, and trucking the lime themselves. Some have them on floater type trucks, and custom spread for neighbors. We're very...

    Home-made attachments...

    I've posted these in a few other threads, but guess one more time won't hurt. First is my fence unroller. Can't stretch with it, but I use a come-a-long for that anyway... Most material came out of the scrap pile, but do have $17.50 in new steel that I used about half of it to build this + 6...

    Lets see your machines...

    Here are a couple of mine. Nothing fancy and new like you have, but they have been serving me well for more than several years. the gold one is an all original '55 DB Super 3, with the original Continental AU85 engine, with a DB planter I refurbished a few years ago. Finally got to use the...

    Some Eye Candy for Soundguy...

    Thought maybe you'd enjoy seeing this. It's going to be at an auction near Cincinnati, OH Jan. 25. I've seen a few of the IH Demo's of various colors, but never a Ford. The ad says it's an 871. Just wondering how much more it would bring, if the paint were original, even if it did look...

    rear end brake problems

    Hopefully, these pages/pics out of my manual will help. It does appear to remove the diffy, both side will need to come out/off. As far as which shaft to get, it say's which shaft for a certain side (whether L or R) in the parts description. I do belive #11 is the one I found on ebay for...

    Cleaning spark plugs

    I've got a couple of the hand held/wall mounted similar to the HF cleaners. Even have a couple A-C old timers like picture below, with different inserts for different sized plugs. Like Soundguy, I have 7 tractors that use the same plug. Usually have 3-4 sets in the tune-up cabinet, cleaned...

    International 240 Utility question....

    Got one of those rascals myself, and outfitted the same, with a couple more attachments. Pop bought it in '71, and other than doing a major OH on it, and stripping one wheel hub on it, it's pretty well been bullet proof. Those C-123 engines are great. VERY easy on gas..!! After using other...

    Waiting to Plow

    Just one of many stories I could tell, but won't bore everyone..., LOL.. There was some funny stuff too... Back in '77 before I got on that crew, they were opening up roads drifted shut. Had an open station cable blade D-7. Joe made a big push, and when backing up to get another, noticed a VW...

    pole barn ceiling

    I would agree with at least a 10' ceiling, 12' is better. And you may want to consider using metal on the ceiling. Once up, you should never have to paint it. More than likely lighter in weight than OSB. Good reflection if you install ceiling lights. Pretty airtight too. You can get liner...

    Aftermarket 9N Governor

    Was wondering if anyone has bought one of the aftermarket gov's for the 9N's, and if they have had any problems with them. Trying to help an old buddy of mine in town that found out the little clip on the gov. shaft broke/wore through, and pretty much let it have pups internally. Knocked the...

    Alleviating soil crusting

    I was just thinking, knowing the Lilliston's are adjustable to throw dirt in, or out. When small, throw towards the center of the row, then as they progress, turn to throw, or hill them some. That buddy of mine bought one of those Jung seeders. It does as advertised, and seed spacing is...

    Anyone built a round bale hay feeder for goats?

    Here's a couple pics of one I built a few years back. It's actually in another thread here in the B-I Y section... Built for horses, but a person can make it as tall as you want. I did have a few goats, and they had no problem eating from it. Built from conduit reels, some angle iron, square...

    1952 JD model AR 2nd tractor pull.

    Do you have rear weights, or tires loaded..?? Drawbar at max. height..?? Problem with the standard treads is they are nose heavy. So, you need to get all the height on the drawbar you can, right at the limit, so the chain is pulling down. If you're weighted up,. and at max. height, then the only...

    Bed Former for Two Wheeled Tractor

    Do you have a disk for your tractor..?? Here is a pic of a hill made with my David Bradley disk, with the disk's turned inwards. It took 3 rounds (6 passes) to make this hill I planted peanuts on. I also planted Bok Choy, onions, and peas in similar hills. It is set fairly close to center, and...

    Old Pics of Tug Pulling My BN Farmall back in the 80's... Fun Times..!!

    Thought I'd share some pics I found, while in the process of moving. This was back in the mid-80's, when I used to show, and pull my little BN. Some fond memories here... :) Side shot is coming out of the hole, enroute to a full pull..!! Front shot is of 'er walkin' tall for me, during...

    IH 300 Utility....My new project

    I checked under attachments in the parts book, section/page 347, and those do seem to be a sealed unit. For what it's worth, I scanned a lube chart for a 300, and posted below. If you click on it, it should enlarge enough to read well. And if you print it, it should come out a full page size...

    International 504 TLB questions? Parts?

    Here is a picture off the front page of my manual. Looks like the upright frame where the loader arms attach on the 504 are heavier, than on the 2000 loader. Seems Wagner made hoes & such for farm tractors back in that era. Maybe that's what it is..?? Looks like the exhaust is intact, as near...

    Problem with AGCOPartsbook

    hoisting a well casing chimney

    Here is a pic of one I put up about a year ago. I put up 2 similar to it at the other place. I made a approx. 14' jib out of heavy wall 2" X 4" rectangular tubing to fit on my loader tractor. (IH 656) A cross piece at the base, with eyelets out of the same tubing, welded to the 14' stick of...

    IHC 240 tractor ignition timing.

    I could have typed it out, but scanning it from ther manual seemed a lot quicker this morning... Look at paragraph 67. Timing marks are on the crankshaft pulley. Look for a pointer, and DC ( Dead Center) on the pulley, and align. Just take note of rotating the distributor. Camshaft turns...

    Kohler 14 h.p. aftermarket fuel pump...

    BIL has a '93, 14 h.p. Kohler on his Wheel Horse. I'm guessing the fuel pump is getting weak, and letting fuel gravitate back to the fuel tank after setting for like a week between mowings. Has to grind on it for a while before it seems to pick up the fuel. Once it starts, it runs fine. Possibly...
