    2005 E-150 Tractor Parts Hauler, Drains the Battery

    My van has a 4.6 liter V-8 with some 300K miles on it. Lately the battery will become discharged after sitting for several days. I measured a 450 +/- Milliamp drain. Looking for ideas on what to look at first. The alternator maintains 14.7 +/- volts at idle. Can the alternator be the leak...

    Question on stick welding

    I don't weld that much anymore but when I do it seems the helmet lens is so dark I have trouble seeing the puddle. I currently have a #10 shade glass. Is it possible to use a lighter shade maybe, a #5 without suffering eye damage. I typically use smaller diameter rods (5/64) and lower amp...

    How Much Ink is in a Printer Cartridge

    I have an HP Envy 5052 Printer. It uses two #65 ink cartridges, one is for black and the other is for color. The OEM cartridges lasted about 3 months after which I replaced them with HP XL cartridges. The XL size lasted a little longer but I only print a few pages (YT post responses) per...

    5 gallons of 2-4D (?) in an unmarked container.

    I have a 5 gallon pail of what I think is 2-4D mixed with water. It was left over from last year and the label is not readable. Is there an easy way to verify the mix is 2-4D and not Round-up? For example, I have PH paper - is the PH is different....

    1980, 6700 Ford - Balancer Gear Timing Marks

    My brother is rebuilding his 6700 Ford, with the 268 cu in engine. Today, he was attempting to install the Lanchester balancer gear set. The balancer gears have timing marks to phase the two gears, these marks appear to be fine. The problem is the timing mark to phase the balancer gear set to...

    One Wire Alternators

    From time to time I see posts concerning the aplication of one wire alternators on tractors. Typically the post has to do with the RPM threshold required for the alternator to begin charging. Currently, there is one of these discussions in progress on the John Deere forum. I understand that...

    Ford LGT 195 Tractor

    I purchased a LGT 195 last week. The engine has been replaced with a Kohler Command 25 HP V-twin which runs good. This tractor would have been shipped with a Kohler K532 19.9 HP flat-twin. I would be interested in comments on how the V-twin compares to the flat-twin relative to idle...

    Kawasaki P/N 21066-2071 Voltage Regulator/Rectifier

    I am trying to help a neighbor - we trade work from time to time. He is building brush mowers using a EX-270D, 9HP Subaru engine, rope start only. He wants to delete the battery and run the electric clutch directly from the engine alternator, lighting coil. He claims the engine uses a 16 amp...

    Rear belt pulley - How much oil?

    I am getting my 8N ready to take to our local fair for the old tractor display. I will mount dad's Dearborn buzz saw to the 3 point. There is a gear box/belt pulley which mounts to the PTO to drive the buzz saw via a flat belt. I would like to change to lube in the gear box. I drained it...

    OT: Electronics question, tach drive adaptor

    I have an electronic tach I would like to use on a single cylinder 4-stroke engine. My engine has a crank trigger and fires once each 360 degrees of crank rotation. The tach is for a single cylinder 4 stroke however, it appears to be calibrated for a spark every every 720 degrees of crank...

    Troy-Bilt Tiller - Horse 1

    I have a 1970 Horse 1, S/N 14673 that needs new bearings on the drive shaft. The shaft (approximately 24" long) runs the full length of the tiller and drives the front gearbox for the wheels and the rear tiller tines. It uses two tapered roller bearings, one at each end. Shims are used to set...

    Yellow Maple Sap - What Makes It?

    I have about 20 trees tapped for maple syrup. Yesterday was the first good sap run for the year. The sap in about three of the buckets was yellow in color, I poured it out rather than risk using it. Does anyone know what makes the off color - looks like pee? Now that the sap is running the...

    Question: Mounting Tire Chains

    I was at TSC today looking at tire chains for my 8N. The manager stopped by said he was clearing them out and reduced the price from the already low clearance price. The chains are marked for 11.2" x 28" tires. However, they are 10" to 14" too long - more like for 38" tires. See picture...

    Maple Syrup Operation at Green Acres

    This is no Clinton Camp operation but I thought maybe someone would be interested in seeing pictures of a small hobby operation. This is my third year for making Maple Syrup, each year I add some more equipment and tap a few more trees. It is a learning process and one learns by doing. This...

    How does one mix Acetone and ATF

    Much has been said on this forum about the powers of a 50/50 mixture of Acetone and ATF. I decided to make a batch today however, it does not seem to mix. If you shake it up it looks like water and oil; then settles out to two separate phases. I don't see how this can work....is there a...

    Pre 1975 F-250 Pickup

    I found a junk Ford pickup with a 223 cubic inch 6 cylinder in it - thinking of using the engine as a spare for my 6000 Ford tractor. The ID # is, F25JG391537; I would like to know the year of production? It has a straight front alxe so I believe that makes it a 1964 or earlier. Thanks

    I have a Ford 1 row mounted corn picker that I would like to use on a Ford 4000 (4 cyl) row crop tractor. Does anyone have the mounting brackets for this tractor they would sell or provide dimensions to allow fabrication of the brackets. I believe the brackets are angle iron pieces that bolt...

    Electric Motor Power Factor

    I need some education: I have been following another post, "Motor Amp Draw by Terry G, 7/6/12" and got curious what the power factor would be when running a fractional horse power motor. I have a small bench top grinder and decided to check it using a "Kill A Watt" meter. The label on the...

    Question: Radial versus Standard Tire Tube Patches?

    Can someone educate me on tire tube patches. What is the difference between the radial patches and the standard patches? What happens if you use a radial patch on a tube in a bias ply tire? Also the patch kit (non-radial) I bought today has 3/4", 1" and 2" diameter patches - when does one...
