    Fixing threads

    I have a buddy who owns a machine shop that will check for me on Monday if he has a 5/8-11 tap I could borrow. Today I will clean up the first few threads in preparation for tapping. As Drew mentioned it's hard material and I would like to avoid putting a larger thread in if possible. Thank you...

    Fixing threads

    I tried Charles' trick but didn't have much luck with it. I also tried to clean the start of the hole with the dremel but still can't get the bolt in. I'm thinking that I should buy a 5/8-11 plug tap and see if I can't make that work. Here are pictures of the hole

    Fixing threads

    The hole fits a bolt with a big washer which keeps things on a rotating shaft. Even though it will only be spinning at a few hundred rpm, I would like to keep the threads strong to avoid things flying off. I will possibly look into helicoil, never used them before.

    Fixing threads

    I had an accident this morning where I wasn't thinking and used my wheel puller where I was pushing against a tapped hole. After taking it off I realized that I pushed in the start of the threads and can't get the bolt back in. Looking at the bolt, the thread size is 5/8-11. If I buy a 5/8-11...

    Thank you both. I will take off the pulley when I get a chance and see what condition those parts are in

    49 BN No clutch engagement/disengagement

    I have been working on restoring a 49 BN which sat outside for who knows how long. When I got it running I had trouble with the clutch, and when I opened the cover I found much of it was rusted together. I swapped in the clutch discs that were on my parts tractor but still have no engagement or...

    Wasp Removal

    A few weeks ago I took home a 49 BN and quickly discovered a group of wasps living in it. Whatever I do I cannot seem to get them to go away, I have tried multiple brands of wasp spray and pressure washed the nests but nothing seems to get them gone permanently, they just move to a different...

    John Deere M carb

    You could always put a small dab of purple (low strength) loctite on the threads, you should still be able to turn it by hand with some pressure

    Wierd starting problem

    Have you tried running a wire from the battery to the starter during the time that its not starting regularly? Could help narrow down the issue

    Different types of Loctite

    Loctite black is really neat, we use it sometimes in the machine shop. Put it on the bottom of a piece of aluminum and 'glue' it onto the machine, and it becomes impossible to move side to side, but you can pull it up with almost no force. Works great even with 12000rpm tools Of course we...

    51 john deere paint

    John deere changed the shade of their green in the 70s or somewhere around there. My local JD dealer sells both 'Classic Green' and the newer, darker shade. Yellow for the wheels is the same as it has always been. Make sure you don't buy the industrial yellow, you want the agriculture one...

    John Deere MT Issues

    Here are the instructions from my M book, I see no reason why it wouldn't be the same for an MT I welded together a hand crank so I could do this, everything I had was too big. Also, the tractor will start if you're a few degrees off with timing, I just put it near where it should...

    John Deere MT Issues

    Have you cleaned off all the corrosion? If the starter can't make a good ground it's not going to run.
