    what to look for in a diesel muffler? (Kioti LB1914)

    In the market for a new muffler for a 1991 LB1914. OEM replacement is $400 and I'm not paying that. With the heat shield removed, the muffler is about 13 inches long by about 3.375 inches in diameter. Peering into the bottom end of the muffler (where the elbow that bolts to the exhaust...

    oily "dirt" under valve cover

    '54 TO-30 with 4-cylinder gasser. Bunch of this stuff under the valve cover. Been trying to get out all I can with small spoon and scraper made by pounding the end of some round stock flat. Any tips for removing? Was thinking I'd turn to WD-40 soaked paper towels after exhausting the spoon...

    Kubota and Kioti injectors interchangeable?

    Looking at injectors for a '91 Kioti LB1914 with a 3-cyl 0.9-L TD950 diesel engine. Came across injectors for Kubota that look incredibly similar. Here's what I know about the Kioti injectors: hex sizes from top to bottom: 19, 24, and 27 mm marked with number: 2170 bottom thread size: M24x2...

    wrench for turnbuckle-style check chains with "drawer-pull" handle

    I really like the adjustability of the turnbuckle-style check chains on my LB1914, but found it hard to get the nut that jams against the center tube good and tight to lock the length adjustment (at least while trying to hold onto that little drawer-pull handle that's welded on there with one...

    I've had the pieces sitting around for this and finally welded them up. Drawbar is a Tractor Supply Cat 1.

    LB1914 decomp cable

    Lever and bracket are there on the rear of the engine, just no cable assembly running to the dash: 1) How useful is decomp? Should I bother pursuing the cable? 2) Any idea of part number / availability of the cable assembly? I looked through the entire engine and chassis sections of the...

    resistance spec for LB1914 glow plugs?

    Didn't see it in the service or owner's manual. Service manual had a line drawing of how to check it, but didn't give a value. P/N is E5205-65512 (replaced E5205-65511).

    new pack member with new-to-me LB1914

    With my Ferguson TO-30 currently down (replacing rear axle seals is what started it all - then I got it inside to work on those and started getting into more quasi-restoration / freshening-up items from the dash forward), I was lamenting lack of the progress I was making on getting the driveway...

    what are the four holes for in the bottom of the TO-30 differential case?

    Or more importantly, is it okay to use them for interfacing with a jack adapter plate? Holes are about 1/2" diameter on a 3.375" x 6" pattern. Need to lift up the back of the tractor to take one of the wheels off and was thinking about making a jack adapter plate that would have some...

    how to lift / support rear end of TO-30?

    This weekend while washing the tractor, I noticed some oil / oily dirt inside the left rear wheel. I checked it again today and there was some more fresh oil there (see attached pic). Assuming it's a seal and will need to remove the wheel to get at it. Would also like to check the brakes...

    TO-30 with vertical exhaust

    Had a cracked manifold (rearmost exhaust port). In the process of replacing that, I decided to try out a vertical exhaust. The manifold I bought was an aftermarket one that has a triangular exhaust outlet flange instead of the original flare-and-clamp connection. The 180-degree elbow is P/N...

    TO-30 fuel sediment bowl (TO-9165) - need new valve stem and seals

    Was cleaning this thing up and in the process of reading the manual, I realized the square portion of the valve stem and the knob that goes on there are gone. So I put the end of the stem in the vise and unscrewed it from the casting. The seals are looking pretty crumbly. And obviously the...

    TSX-458 carburetor (from TO-30) powdercoated and rebuilt

    Finally got this coated and put back together. Started by completely disassembling then blasting the two castings. Outgassed them in the oven and blasted again (some pretty stubborn black junk inside the upper casting after outgassing) before blowing clean, acetone rinsing, masking, and...

    TO-30 gas tank hold downs with radiused ends

    I took the gas tank off so I can change the manifold out. Was looking at the hold down bars that go on the ends of the gas tank and thought they would be a little nicer with radiused ends. Need to powdercoat next...

    Marvel-Schebler TSX-458 carburetor choke shaft seal

    Anyone know where I can get just this seal? I got the basic carb kit and it comes with the one for the throttle shaft, but I need the one for the choke shaft too. Either that, or I need to find a place that sells tiny little lip seals. The one for the choke shaft looks like it would be 3/16"...

    new (to me) 1954 TO-30

    My first tractor. Found it locally on Craigslist. Couple pics attached from the Craigslist post. Previous owner delivered it for free and I already started using the blade to work on my driveway. :D
