    Case 2290 PTO clutch issue?

    welcome to the wonderful world of farming and case tractors. Those pto clutch packs can be troublesome and also de laminate, causing grief. I do not remember those on a 90 series being too time consuming or difficult to rebuild. All I can say while there is check everything for de laminating...

    JD 4240 Air conditioner

    Those had a issue from time to time leaking around the charge ports, especially if it has the 90* 134 quick couplers back of the compressor. If you find a leak here, I have had no luck trying to repair the integrated seal in these systems, just replace the 90* fittings and if you can not find...

    John Deere 60 belt pulley/clutch assembly reinstallation.

    those will do that sometimes when the engine is running and the clutch is freewheeling. I really never pinned down as to why, I almost wondered if the splines were a little chattery and causing some of it. Good luck.

    Looking for suggestions 100-150hp tractor

    There are a lot of good tractors out there pre emission and not worn out. Start searching and just be mindful of what you need, 540/1000 pto? 3pt catii/catiii? MFWD? Duals? A lot of the newer tractors I have seen have been made without axles and using rim positioning to make tread spacing...

    Picked another goody today

    I am in irrigated country and things are flat and smooth, however after drilling we pull our water marks/furrows through. a closer spacing was always desirable. A wider grain drill would not matter unless there were gates. If I were in sloping country I would definitely consider the terraces and...

    Looking for suggestions 100-150hp tractor

    I see 4250 and 4450 and 4255 and 4455 stuff from time to time thats reasonable hours for sale. Shop around and watch for what you want, you can always give a bit more for a good solid tractor or be like me and buy cheap and repair to the condition I want and do what I need.

    AGM (acid glass mat) batteries on older farm machinery---can they take the charging system?

    load testing can heat up the battery too fast, yes a starter motor loads the battery, however a healthy starter motor should not draw amperage similar to a carbon pile load tester. Maybe if you engage the starter for several minutes at a time... It's verified information. If you do not agree...

    Drilling 1/4" steal

    If you can find a matco tools tool truck, he would be able to sell you a "hyperstep" 1/2" drill bit. Likely a very good investment. easier on your drill, easier on you and a nice hole.

    AGM (acid glass mat) batteries on older farm machinery---can they take the charging system?

    AGM batteries are also strongly recommended to be used with a smart charger. If you use a solid state charger I am in understanding that the charge will damage the battery, so the lowest charge setting is likely safer, furthermore a smart charger is designed to shut off most generally, and...

    OTR branded group 31 Batteries

    Reserve right to refuse service to ANYONE. The alternative is let them change out the batteries and charge the customer for it and when that does not fix it go on to the next step. really doesn't matter, if the customer was more capable and more competent, he would not take it to a mechanic. It...

    2,4D Amine vs. 2,4D Ester

    ester is more compatible, I felt that ester worked slightly better on certain weeds but less on others, I have been happiest with harmony or dicamba for effectiveness on weeds.

    1971-74 Case 1370 good, bad and ugly?

    That makes sense as to the previous input of rear ends failing. I was told by the old and the really old case mechanics that to be safe the best insurance was add extra oil like put it to the full mark and add 2-3 gallons from there. We live in irrigated country and in furrow plowing or making...
