    Paint codes (again) - Dupont

    I've searched the archives high and low, trying to figure out codes for the 1955 colors. I got settled with PPG 70075 & 32675 for the red & grey respectively. But I'm planning to use Nason Fast Dry, and the shop is saying they can't cross-ref to those PPG numbers. For Dupont, I found a...

    corrosion protection during prep process

    I'm just starting the restoration on my Ford 850. Chassis first, bodywork later. I'm trying to remove as much of the old paint on the engine/trans castings as possible, but prepared for this taking a while. Living in humid Michigan, I'm a little worried about surface rusting starting on the...

    Ford 850 5-speed trans rebuild - new bearings?

    I'm doing a complete rebuild of my 850 5-speed, to finally fix a broken 3rd gear (chipped teeth on mainshaft and countershaft). What would you guys do about replacing bearings? They all feel OK, look OK (ie no corrosion) - just spin freely. Would you just leave them in place, or try to source...

    Ford 800 5-speed shifter detent plug sealing

    Working on a Ford 800 5-speed trans rebuild. As expected, the small gaskets behind the three shifter detents plugs fell apart as I removed them. I heard they were stupidly expensive at the CNH dealer, and not available as aftermarket part? Has anyone tried a small section O-Ring, combined with...

    Painting Basic Questions

    While it's cold outside in the Midwest, and I'm just in planning stages .... I need some advice on paint! I tried to research as much as I can already, but still unsure of a few things. I get that there are two basic types of paint: Alkyd Enamel - the basic "tractor paint" in TSC, etc. Cheapest...

    MF40 Ind - change front tires to 10 x 16

    My MF40 Ind currently has 7.5 x 16 front tires (very old bias ply truck tires), and 14.9 x 26 R1 rears. For all the weight on the front of this tractor with the loader, that is a narrow tire that easily buries down into soft ground. Has anyone ever tried fitting a wider front wheel and going to...

    445D vs 545D

    What's the difference between the 545D and 445D tractor/loader. Looks like engine spec is the same? Any other differences? Is the wheelbase longer? Heavier? Also, what about 445C to 445D? Thanks,

    Ford 800 5-speed trans parts

    OK, I got it unstuck (see other post below), but now I can see that the main gear cluster has a couple of seriously chipped teeth on 3rd. I know this is going to be a major tractor-splitting overhaul - but does anyone know if the parts are even still available? I've seen bearings advertised...

    Ford 5-Speed stuck in 2nd 3rd gears HELP !!

    My 850 5-speed trans is somehow has 2nd & 3rd gears engaged. My son was driving, went to change from 3rd to 2nd, and then the tractor wouldn't move. I took the trans top cover off, and can see that both 3rd & 2nd gears are engaged. I have tried moving the shift forks with a screwdriver, but they...

    MF32 Loader bushings

    I have an MF32 Loader on an old MF 40 Industrial. Strong as an Ox, but after all these years I"ve got a lot of play in the loader bushings - especially where the loader frame attaches to the tractor, and at the end of the loader frame where it attaches to the bucket. part numbers seem to be...

    voltage regulator adjustment

    I've got a MF40 Industrial with the Delco 12V alternator and external 12V mechanical voltage regulator. Problem is the ammeter jumps around all over the place, rather than showing a steady reading. I can adjust the voltage with the screw on the 1st coil of the regulator, but it is very sensitive...
