    plumbing help

    I'm a plumber that works out of a Hardware Hank. We try to use our own parts but I have noticed that our shower arms are a slightly smaller o.d. than they need to be. If you look at the threads cross section they aren't cut well. The outside of the threads aren't sharp, they are flat across...

    White Backhoe Cylinder Repair

    Remove the hose from the end and the spring, washer, and tube will all come out. The o-ring probably needs a split ring with it. A fix for those been lines was to use a piece of angle iron to protect it. Rather than tapping the ends on each side I slide the tube through heater hose to space it...

    Oliver 1650 or MM M670 super?

    The Oliver would be more nimble. The Minnie would be more fun.

    White 4-78 Forklift

    Depending on your mast you don't have to remove it. Take off your forks lean it against your gooseneck, remove the cylinders and back up. If you want to drive it you can. As long as the R-O-T acts ok all you have to do is watch your temp. If it gets hot downshift. Heat is torque converter...

    White 2-62 Brakes

    I've got a 2-78 loader, 4-78 forklift, and had a 1600 backhoe. Someone on the backhoe ran into the same problem. 2 bolts come out easily. Their answer was to torch a slot onto the cover for the bolt that can't be removed. The cover would then rotate up and slide off the slot. Ugly but it...

    4-78 fork lift

    I have a 2-78 loader and a 4-78 forktruck and use them both. It would be possible to convert the forktruck but you would almost need a donor tractor for everything you need. The nose is obviously different because it hides the hydraulic pump behind it. Without the mast assembly you don"t have...

    White 2-78 4-78

    They were 2 or 4 wheel drive 1650s. Depending on the designation after the 78, they could be a bare tractor,loader tractor, fork truck, back hoe, or side boom pipe layer. I have a 4-78 forktruck that will lift 30 feet and the 2-78 that was kept and used by the Oliver foundry.

    Frozen underground drain line

    Temporarily you could use a product like Reflectix. Its like a foil faced bubble wrap that can be used under floor heat. Its only about a 1/2" thick and its worth an R-7.

    Jeep pickups

    I just spent the last few months with a Gladiator in my shop with the OHC engine. Block based on a continental 6, head slightly more advanced. I suppose they were okay for the time. The problem is that at the time they were slow and simple, now they are old, slow and obsolete. You can figure...

    Things Oliver Should've Done

    What tractors paid for themselves?

    1st series, gas wide front, wheel weights, bored over, higher compression, perfect amplitorque, and good paint. My dad is a stickler for maintaining equipment. When he brought us the tractor, he brought the tire chains, all of the oem manuals, a heat houser, and all of the old take off parts...

    What tractors paid for themselves?

    I have a M.M. Jet star with a loader that I've been using since 5th grade. 12 years later my dad gave it to us for a wedding present. No matter how bad the job is, its better on that tractor.
