    high range engaged to run buzz saw?

    You can at lower RPM, but I wouldn't go over 540 PTO speed. I have seen this with cutting wheels on a grinder, ie 6" wheel on a 4 1/2" grinder. If you get that blade moving too fast, it will start to warp and twist.. Get it fast enough it WILL fail, hopefully not killing or maiming the operator...

    Coolant for TIG

    The water cooled torches are used where there is high amperage being used to weld thicker material, or longer weld time where the torch would get too hot to use. The next air cooled tig rig I see melt because of too much heat won't be the first

    Coolant for TIG

    Need to use a special coolant for tig torches. That technology has been around forever, and unfortunately you can't just use antifreeze

    ToH Would you feel comfortable using 6064 aluminum to make a packing nut? Brass would be $39 an inch for 3 1/2" round stock

    Plowing with the N

    I'm looking in to buying a plow for my N. I know they were designed for a 2 bottom plow, but I have also seen a fair amount if single bottom plows. Can anyone provide some insight on to the pros and cons of each? Thanks!

    Aftermarket 8n rear hubs

    Anyone have an opinion on the 8n aftermarket rear hubs? Both of mine are worn to the point that the top of my tires will move 1/2-3/4" if not more

    Its stuck!!!

    Lots of penetrating oil and heat. If it still doesn't come off, I'd cut and replace if you can find one. I reccomended this stuff to another fella. I've used this stuff at coal plants and a paper mill on some seriously corroded flange bolts and they broke free after sitting long enough...

    Seized 8n update

    After rereading your post, I'd almost suggest splitting the tractor so you can unbolt the main and rod bearings and beat the old pistons and sleeves out with the trusty BFH. Those sleeves are replaceable so the issues with boring are totally avoided. Might as well inspect the valve train and...
