    Farmall 350 hydraulic plug

    My 350 Farmall has the two sets of hydraulic outlets below the fuel tank. One set has the typical Pioneer outlets that are hooked up to my loader. The other set of outlets have some sort of plug that had a tin cover the screwed on as a cover. One of the plugs is leaking (through the tin...

    Leveling box sets on trumpet when lift is lowered

    Either the P/N 543 or 545 arms may be bent. If so, bent part could be straightened or replaced to get the leveling box off the axle housing.

    NAA 3-point arms don't lift

    I had same problem with my NAA tractor in winter. To get the system to work I heated the hydraulic oil from the pump and the suction line to the bottom of the sump carefully with a propane torch just enough to get the pump to move the oil without burning paint or over-heating the metal...

    OT 47 Mercury flathead question

    I think you will find small leak between the fuel pump and the fuel tank that lets air in and fuel drain back to the tank. I would replace the flexible fuel hose on the suction side of the fuel pump if it is not new and pressure test the system with about 5 psi air or vacuum gage for several...

    Winter Storm

    I think water can also enter trans/hydraulic system at the draft-control spring located under the seat. I agree a tarp covering the machine and sealed to the ground so air cannot exchange to prevent condensation is a problem, but if you rig it to keep off rain and snow while also allowing air...

    Winter Storm

    At least cover her to keep the rain and snow-melt out of the transmission/differential/hydraulic oil. If you are going to leave it open to the weather, take the oil drain plugs loose (carefully so don't waste oil) and drain out the water that accumulates at bottom of the oil reservoir before you...

    52 8n will not even cough

    Take the intake air duct (pipe) off the carb. and see if the engine will suck your hand into the carb. air intake while cranking. Air cleaner could be clogged with dirt, wasp nests, etc. Replace spark plugs with clean or new plugs and if plug wires are not copper core type and in good condition...

    Air in hydraulics?

    I would check to see if you have a small leak between the pump and the oil reservoir (on the suction line)where air is getting sucked in continually when the pump is running. Maybe a dab of grease applied around any suspect area would identify the problem or temporarily stop the air leaking in...

    Yikes my ring gear is bad!

    I have been following your education and progress with the tractor problems and repairs. You have come a long way in understanding and skill. I am concerned about your safety in trying this job alone. I believe the safe way to do the job without special tools and knowledge of others who have...

    three pt log splitter

    I bought the 3-point hitch tractor-mounted splitter from Tractor Supply and added 11 GPM PTO-driven pump and oil reservoir tank and filter from Northern Tool catalog. With some small angle iron and welding, a pressure-limiting relief valve and a couple hoses, I ended up with a really good but...

    New snow removal setup

    Chains on the tires will be needed but tires will be fine working in reverse with the chains on. If you operate with hydraulic system in position control, just lift the blade an inch and weight of the blade will put plenty of down-force on the rear wheels for traction , if you have the tire...

    exhaust valve removal

    I assume you moved the valve guide down enough to pull out the horse-shoe shaped retainer. If so, apply penetrating oil and hammer it back up using old screw driver or dull chisle. If not, you should be able to remove the spring retainer and pry off the spring (using two screw drivers), with the...

    Ready for snow...... (with PICs)

    I agree if the object hit is low (on the blade edge), but if the object is high on the plow (such as a large chuck of material) the plow may lift....I would make an upper link to prevent possible rotation of the plow if it were mine.

    broken off spark plug fixed on to exhaust manifold

    Nuts on your manifold may not be the correct ones. The correct brass nuts are sized for a 5/8 inch socket I think......check it out.

    broken off spark plug fixed on to exhaust manifold

    I suggest you watch for a local estate sale or auction that advertises tools, since a good quality used tool is a better investment than a poor quality new one.
