    Vintage tractor hauler - F-700

    I'm looking at a '68 F-700 flatbed as a toy to haul tractors to shows. It has a 390 v-8, 5 speed manual, and 2-speed rear-end. Would that be an automotive bell housing on it or a SAE-2 or SAE-3? I recently came across a DT360, and had a wild idea that it might make a good re-power for such...

    WD9 - Thermostat or no?

    On to the next issue with the Fatman. He doesn't have a thermostat, and takes a long time to warm up. I can see the water churning in the radiator tank when running right after startup. No bubbles. Ran him about 10 minutes while greasing my 7 foot bush hig mower and putted out in low gear...

    VR or cut out relay on my WD-9

    What a WD-9 owner doesn't want to see.

    Well, I finally got my WD-9 running, after 2 years, 1 of over-work and 1 of health problems. Got a re-built mag, and all the finicky switchy stuff working, and fired it up this afternoon. The rack was stuck, but just a little patience got it to move and I was able to switch over to diesel...

    450 Head on a Super W6

    I have a SW6 that the PO installed a 450 LP head on. Evidently the Super's used the same oil line as the regular M's to oil the governor. The 450 head does not have an oil drain port on the front to tie in to this line, so it is just open right now. I know for a fact it hasn't been run much...

    Looking for a good mechanic in North Texas: Dubuqe models

    I have a 420 that is in need of more TLC than I feel confident I can handle. The rear wheel bearings are squealing, and I'm thinking about refreshing the engine as well. Can anyone recommend a mechanic that knows these beasties within a day's drive of the Dallas area? Thanks, Alan

    1946 2N Axle question: super Seal or replace orginal seals?

    Hi guys. I'm restoring my wife's grandfather's 2N. It is pretty much a basket case. It will need all new front sheetmetal, a full rebuild on engine, TLC for the hydraulics, and I'm diving into the brakes. I don't have it apart yet, but was wondering whether y'all would recommend replacing...

    is there a trick for oil filter gaskets?

    ...or is it just a ritual to sacrifice a quart of oil to the oil cartridge gods? I can NEVER get that little dude to stay in the groove on the first try!

    350U LP -One week in - manifold issues

    The exhaust section of the manifold is cracked exactly in the center. Looks like it is all the way around and you could not have centered it better w/ a ruler and divider. The studs and nuts are a solid mass of rust. I'm going to try Naval Jelly and then Kroil to see if I can soak the nuts...

    350U LP - How do I tell if it has been con to neg grd?

    Well, I've had the tractor a week, and only had time to start it once. I got the owner's manual in and saw that it was originally a positive ground system. The old battery sitting on it when I picked it up was set up Neg ground, so that's the way I wired my spare truck battery in. It...

    Shiny new (to me) IH 350 LP Utility

    Hey, first post here. Just acquired a IH350 LP Utility, that appears to be in really great original condition. It appears to be in really great mechanical condition, and the sheet metal is good except for one ding on the "nose". As far as I know, it was bought new by a propane service company...
