    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...

    I'm now looking at Nason paint .... can you give me a hint for closest Dupont codes to match 1995 Vermilion Red & Medium Grey?

    600 governor cover gasket

    I'm facing exactly the same issue right now. I saw the $58 price for CNH part. No thanks! What are you guys using for gasket material? I've seen the Fel Pro Karropak is available in 1/64, 1/32, & 1/16. Seems like a good option, but not sure what thickness to go for?

    Ford 640 engine to trans bolt-up

    Interesting to see this post .... I'm about to re-assemble my 850, and thought I would check the parts book to see what the bolts should be, and plan on buying new ones. I checked twice ..... really surprised that out of 271 pages, nothing describes these bolts, nor the trans-center housing...

    NAA Radiator Replacement

    Normally a thermostat would fail open, making the engine run cool and slow to warm up. It could fail closed, I guess ... easy way to verify would be to feel the hose. I had my old MF Industrial radiator re-cored by a local shop - the replacement part was over $700. The recore was about half...

    NAA Steering Box Rebuild - 8N33546 Alternatives

    Running into the same issue now ...... think I'll try an O-Ring. Anyone else had good luck with that?

    corrosion protection during prep process

    Since the tractor in your avatar looks beautiful, and is an inspiration to my final work ...... which weapon do you find works best to get into the nooks and crannies, inside corners, around bolts & studs, etc?

    Ford 850 5-speed trans rebuild - new bearings?

    To close the loop ... I did decide to get new bearings & seals. With a lot of research, I found all the standard numbers, and found they were the cheapest on zoro.com - for NTN-Bower & Timken. Except for one that was $100 on that site .... found another place selling "old unused stock" that had...

    Farmall 656 transmission overhaul--should I replace bearings if they seem ok?

    I ended up ordering all the bearings and cups. With A LOT of internet searching, I found all the standard bearing numbers to cross-ref the Ford numbers, and then found NTN-Bower & Timken parts on Zoro.com for decent prices.

    corrosion protection during prep process

    Yeah, I understand that theory, but in practice .... I can't work on this 24/7, and it's going to take time to strip and clean the whole chassis. I suppose I could prime each section as I finish, but I'm trying to avoid this.

    corrosion protection during prep process

    Good to know, thank you! So as long as it isn't rusty, flaking, or glossy, it's fine to leave? Of course, after 70 years, there's no gloss left anyway! But I do also have some areas with newer paint that I had brushed on 10 or 15 years ago as a quick-fix. I'll try to make sure all of that is...

    corrosion protection during prep process

    I have a lot of areas where much of the paint has already peeled off, but not all. Not sure exactly how to describe, but there are patches of paint remaining on the cast surfaces. I'm afraid that if I leave these, they will show through. Not from a color perspective, but as an uneven surface?

    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...

    Top Link Pin Removal

    Glad that worked out for you! I think I will have to try to grind off my mushroom head and try that again.

    Ford 850 5-speed trans rebuild - new bearings?

    I do understand your point & frustration with Chinese stuff - there is certainly some crap made there. And quality control is variable. Really depends a lot on the customer/buyer, and how they control it. Recently I've been looking into how Harbor Freight controls & selects new suppliers, due to...

    Top Link Pin Removal

    Yes!! I've just started a full-scale reno on my 850, and I wanted to remove that pin to be able to clean and paint the parts. No luck getting it to budge, even with oxy-acet heat & PB Blaster. The ends are now a little mushroomed, so I'm thinking about just leaving it. Otherwise, it would be a...

    Ford 850 5-speed trans rebuild - new bearings?

    That makes sense. I have seen one YouTube that has quite a few of the bearing part numbers mentioned - and of course the bearings themselves are usually marked. I just haven't researched that in detail yet. No reason to doubt the lubrication, everything inside the trans looks pretty good...

    Farmall 656 transmission overhaul--should I replace bearings if they seem ok?

    I found your post, after I made a similar one over in the Ford forum. I'm rebuilding a Ford 850 5-speed to replace a broken 3rd gear, using E-Bay sourced used mainshaft and countershaft assembly. I have exactly the same question - is it worth replacing the bearings, or leaving them as-is. What...

    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...
