    McCormick Model M grain drill

    On a Mccormick model M drill, does anyone know of a source to obtain the helper spring as my son's is missing from his drill. The brackets for each end of the spring is already on the drill. He needs the spring itself along with the rod that passes through it to connect up to the control arm on...

    Explain this wreck

    From what I understand, the tractor driver was trying to make a left hand turn to exit off the hwy and the bus tried to pass him and hit him. Here in NC, he would of had the right of way and the following vehicles would have had to wait for him to finish his turn, then the next vehicle would...

    Woods finish mower question

    We have had a RM 59 for years. It's been a really good mower. It's not a bushog, so a good rule of thumb is don't cut anything with it that you wouldn't mow with a regular zero turn or riding lawnmower. It has regular lawnmower style blades on it and leaves it more finished looking to me than...

    John Deere 1971 3020 Steering Problem

    We recently went through something similar with our new to us 3020. In our case, someone had installed a left hand arm on the right side, so it was waaaay off. I ordered a new spindle thinking it could be partially twisted, but mine wasn't. It sounds like yours possibly could be though. If it...

    JD-40T 1953 Dual Hydraulic system fail

    Yes, a sheared keyway on the pump drive would be my first guess if no pump action. If anyone else reading this sees different, please correct me as it's been years and a lot of water passed under the bridge since I was last into the pump portion on one of these tractors. As to testing....I did...

    JD-40T 1953 Dual Hydraulic system fail

    Well I told you partially wrong. I still have the repair manual for it. In the 2nd picture, part number 15 is a relief / bypass valve. Both cylinder bores have 1 each. If they ever hang open for whatever reason, it will not work at all. After reading my notes, you might get lucky and...

    JD-40T 1953 Dual Hydraulic system fail

    I had a early 420 that I recently sold that I mistakenly did the same thing. I don't have the books for this hydraulic system anymore as I let them go with the tractor, but I would rig up a hydraulic pressure Guage and check to be sure the hydraulic pump hasn't sheared anything and is still...

    1952 Farmall Steering Question

    This is a stab in the dark after reading other replies. If I overlooked this being mentioned, forgive me. There should be adjustable ball sockets ( part # 4 where my pen is pointing ) on each end of both tie rods. On the outer ends of these tie rod sockets, there should be a cap with a flat...

    Series 420

    I recently sold a phase 1 420 S that had 3 year old new tires all around, 320 hrs on a totally rebuilt engine, clutch, new radiator, and hydraulic system. It was a 4 speed with dual touch o matic hyd and spin out rear wheels. Included was the full set of cultivators, a Deere 16 blade 3 pt disk...

    More 8 volt battery

    Since it has the stop gap measures of putting an 8v battery in it, I'm assuming it is still positive ground with a generator. If this is the case, then technically an 8v battery and EI will work for awhile but more than likely will shorten the 6v EI kit life that is probably in it. To test it...

    What do you know about railroads

    Get in contact with the track inspector. If it's like it is here with Northern Southern, this individual will ride the tracks once a week to check things out. Worse case scenario, flag him down while in the area and get them to look at it, as he will probably be the one to get the situation...

    IH McCormick planter

    We used to use Cole planters to plant the sweet corn and re-plant any missing rows behind the big planter in field corn. After buying this IH planter, the Cole planters have done nothing but collect dust under the shelter. I grew to detest them after using this planter. It's not perfect, but...
