    Steering Arm Key Way Repair

    What kind of key is it? Woodruff or straight? Either way most machine shops should be able to repair a key way. I weld them up and recut them all the time. All it takes is a TIG welder, a Bridgeport and the appropriate cutter.

    Broken rusty bolt/stud removal

    Those rods are made by a company named Rockmount, I have used them with some success. I usually start by heating then, using a hammer and tapping around the broken bolt, then welding on the washer and nut. I only use the Rockmount rods as a last resort kinda thing. If its a small part I will...

    planting a small field with JD 494, for picking ear corn

    Getting over 40hp from a '52 J.D. B

    Getting over 40hp from a '52 J.D. B

    When you say a short stroke, How much are you talking. I am not opposed to the idea at all. But I do need some reliability, as I do work my tractors some. I know the tractor that I got the head and pistons out of made in the high 30's on the dyno.

    Getting over 40hp from a '52 J.D. B

    I am getting ready to start my next tractor project, a 1952 John Deere B. My brother has a Farmall H that has 350 kit in it. I basically need to build my B to compete with his H.
