    There I fixed it

    Radiators usually have a bunch of buildup and corrosion around the leak that needs to be cleaned before they can be soldered. I have had to go as far as removing tanks completely from the core and cleaning, then reassembling to get a good joint. A copper is the best way to resolver them as you...

    Quick fixes on tractors

    Especially on old tractors, there was a point in time when they had virtually no value. Some of the people that owned them could barely afford that, and there was no point in investing more than absolutely necessary to get by. In the OPs wheel spindle example, if the tractor was worth $500 when...

    Dowsing Rods

    I had a friend locate a well for me. He marked it as 20 gpm, at 80 feet. At 75 feet, the well driller was skeptical in a still dry hole. 3 feet of really hard rock later he broke through into a vein of water. Would run 20 gpm easily. Myself, I can find septic tanks, not much else.

    Gravity feed diesel tank recommendations

    Before you go too far I would check with your supplier(s) of choice as to what they require to even get it filled. Some are fussier than others. I don’t think I can even get a gravity tank filled here any more, and they want at least 500 gallons. I have a 100 gallon transfer tank with a hand...

    Plow days and trailer plows

    This is how I have done it. I load the plow with a loader at home, back the tractor on and hook up. I bring a length of 2x8 to make an extra ramp for the tail wheel. Done plowing, I drive on and head home.

    What do you know about railroads

    My 2 cents as well, if you have local/county water boards where you are at in MN I would get them involved.

    4630 hydraulic/ transmission issues

    I seem to recall the hex drive rounding off being a common ailment when I worked at the JD shop. But then I wasn’t really welcome on the tractor side of the building.

    Another interesting phenomenon

    I was going to make a similar comment. Culver’s fish is pretty good. I just can’t seem to eat it without having evidence on my shirt for the rest of the day.

    Td15b blade dropping, poor lift power

    As the others have said, it looks like there have been big chunks in that hydraulic system. Beyond that, it appears to me that the seals are not installed correctly on that piston. Both of the v rings look to be facing the barrel of the cylinder. I would expect that one would face each...

    Tool Prices....

    Snap on offers something like 50% off to the kids in trade school. If they can spare the money, it’s the best time to buy tools. Gotta get them hooked early.

    Tool Prices....

    Screwdrivers are one of the better buys on tool trucks. You will wear out screwdrivers no matter what brand. The tool trucks will replace/rebuild them for free.

    Exhaust Stud Repair

    This is my go to method. I have removed many broken manifold studs in this fashion. I clean the end of the stud with a burr or stone in a dremel. Then use a mig welder to build up the stud and add the washer and nut. I usually dap on some wax while it is hot. Then with a wrench, work it back...

    Shop Wiring

    What I like about EMT is 2 clips per 10 ft and you can have nice straight runs. PVC sags and droops and is worse the warmer it is.

    New tractor without DEF as a selling point?

    At least a couple years ago it was 27 hp. My 2020 B2650 Kubota does not have emissions controls at all. I would have liked the B3350, but that had a DPF so I stuck with the smaller one.

    Another Ford 801 fuel return line thead

    As John in LA said, fixing the standpipe mitigates the issue, but does not correct it. If the returns are leaking under the valve cover the only fix is to get in there and repair. Aside from that, if you have never been in the pump, it is worth you time to get seals and a new governor dampener...

    Battery post shims

    Heavy trucks all use battery connections that are 3/8 studs. Mostly eliminates connection issues. My larger tractors get converted to studs as I change them to group 31 batteries.

    Battery post shims

    Many of today’s car have so much built into that cable clamp that you have to replace the harness. It is not a simple cut the end off and crimp on a new one.
