    51 A, wheel/axle clamp

    Not mine, neighbor had new tires put on last summer. Called me when he noticed one wheel sliding toward end of axle. One of the 3 bolts was only finger tight, others could turn with plier. After I got wheel back where he wanted it, I use my 24" long, 3/4 ratchet, figured my 225# on the handle...

    truck lites

    Thread a couple days ago reminds of an old story. Lars had gotten himself a job hauling new cars from the Ford factory in St Paul to dealers. Late one day he was dispatched with a hot load to Duluth, boss said he could take the rig home overnite, but be there at 8 the next morning. Along the way...

    Dumber Question

    Ok, I see the reasoning for chaining the 3 pt when using the hyd of an N tractor to operate a loader. The question is, would it work by just letting the 3 pt raise to top? Maybe letting it raise, then stuff a wood block under the lift arms? Dangerous as it might be, I just had a thought...

    question update

    Question- I have heard that Kohler has two grades of engine. One is called command, can't remember the other. Not for me, neighbor is looking at a New Cub Cadet. Update- JD LT180 transaxle. Tom Arnold is right, there are a few differences in the basic Tuff Torq K46, but nothing that can't be...

    I found the info

    A week or so ago I commented that JD had a "shift on the go" feature somewhere around 1933. A couple posters expressed their doubts. I was wrong, it was 1915. I promised to find the reference. Here it is. A book titled John Deere Farm Tractors, A History of the John Deere Tractor, written by...

    JD LT180

    This will get a bit long, always like a challenge. Picked up a bargain at auction a few weeks ago, LT 180 to replace my 40+ yr old 112. I drove the old one more than 30 yrs, time for a treat. Drove it around the auction yard a bit, engine, steering, tires etc good,600 hours on the clock. Needs...

    more pics

    I don't burn wood. Neighbor had a crew on a Saturday afternoon, actually too many guys, kept getting in each other's way. Broke handle on splitter valve, came knocking on my door. Made up a temporary handle to get them back in business. 1-Lifting with machine sure beats doing it by hand when we...

    Followup on firewood

    Read my other post first. Many guys that burn wood also have a tractor of some kind, & making firewood is backbreaking work. As we all get older, we tend to get smarter. With a bit of imagination we learn to use machines to save our backs. With a loader, or forks on the 3 point, logs can be...

    Handling firewood

    Beaver Islander's thread below reminds me of my younger days. We didn't have such conveniences way back when. I was always trying to find ways to use a machine to do the backbreaking hand work. This will probable get a bit longwinded. I don't burn wood, heat with pellets, but that's another...

    JD 400

    Need input on JD 400 from mid 80's. Local school has one on surplus disposal. Calling for sealed bids. Has mower deck, snow blower & cab. Which motor might it have & any weak points. Shows 3 hyd levers on left side. Were these mostly hydrostatic trans? If I get the bid it would replace my 71...

    update

    Got tie rod end this morning. Local NAPA store normally stocks one of each, but had to order one in this time. Overnight parts order. Instaslled in about 15 minutes. Having left hand thread on one end makes adjusting alignment easy. Did a little playing this afternoon just for giggles. Took a...

    oopsie

    Was out mowing yesterday, do the ditch across the road first, then yard around the house. Had about 15 minutes left & had to quit early. Tie rod end gave up. By driving in reverse & kicking the front tire a couple times got it back to shop. Closest John Deere dealer is about 40 miles, local...

    No Lift Log Splitter

    Thread below about having youngsters help split wood reminds me of a nifty one-man, no-lift setup I saw at a tractor show a few years ago. Guy started with an old garden tractor. Used the tractor engine to drive the pump. Moved seat & driving controls to one side, mounted the splitter beam down...

    old JD plow.

    Question below about getting an old plow ready to work reminds me of a question. Maybe some of you know the answer. Dad had a plow that I never knew the model number, he called it a "Pony". Steel wheels, furrow wheel spoked, landside wheel "bottle cap". Had a crank instead of lever to adjust the...

    For The Brain Trust-Tires

    Thread below from yesterday about tire pressure warning systems brought up another conundrum. Does a tire low on pressure actually roll faster than when properly inflated? Bear with me a moment, I say it makes no difference. Circumference of a circle- For easy figuring let's use 3.1416 for pi, &...

    paper work

    Slightly OT, & a bit long, but use p-up truck to haul tractor supplies & stuff for our small acreage. Lesson in keeping paperwork up to date. Met SWMBO about 10 yrs ago. When her husband was still alive they had a 4x4 p-up & full size car. She liked driving the p-up better so sold the car. Fast...

    E-10 ethanol

    Last post on ethanol getting pretty far down the page, starting a new one. Though some may scoff, these are some of my experiences, your experience may differ. Have never used gas treatmeents. Lived in apartment for 9 years, so lawn mower & generator sat in storage, with untreated gas in them...

    Chevy Experts

    Model designation. Always thought that C series was 2 wheel drive, K series was 4 wheel drive. Picked one up on auction, listed as R 20. Also, when did the 3/4 ton truck switch from full floating rear axle to semi floating? Thanks in advance. Willie
