    1950 Ford F1 Pickup Oil Pressure

    Hi All, I own a 1950 Ford F1 pickup, restored, and, to make it tractor related, it goes quite well with my 1950 Ford 8N. I am wondering, with the 239 cubic inch Flathead V8, what kind of oil pressure can I live with? I get 25 to 30 hot running and around 10 at idle. Do I have a problem?

    Boat Batteries

    It's a 32' JC Custom, somewhat similar to a New England lobster boat. It's set up for cruising with really nice accommodations including a Kubota generator and air conditioning. My girlfriend and I have cruised from Maine to South Carolina and practically every place in between. Thanks for the...

    Boat Batteries

    Unfortunately, they sit on a shelf under the deck with about 3" of room above. 1 x 1 strips get screwed down to keep them from shifting. The strips have to be taken out to remove the batteries. Then I have to slide the batteries out.

    Boat Batteries

    Hi All, My boat has a pair of 8D batteries, one for starting and one for acceries but they can be switched together on an emergency. The problem I have is that they are in a terribly difficult place to get to especially as I get older. I have to change them and if I could get by with a pair of...

    Getting Dtmps Out

    With the brutal snow storm this past weekend in Delaware, most everyone had trees going over, particularly the Leland Cypress variety. After cutting off the trees I still have the partially buried stumps in the ground. Short of renting an excavator, what's the best way to get them out? I have a...

    Detroit 1-81

    I have a interesting project, restoring a Detroit 1-71. Based on the serial number, it dates to 1939. They were used by the Navy for water pumps And generators. A lot of the parts appear to be interchangeable with other 71 series engines. What I need most of all is some sort of shop or service...

    I intend to get my Detroit 1-71 running. I don't know what I'm going to do with it but it's pretty unique and such a cute little beast.

    Trailer Storage

    Sorry, here's more info: it's a 20' aluminum enclosed car hauler. I don't have any shows planned for about a year and I'm using it to store my 8N tractor at least through the winter. I don't have room to put it inside but plan to take the wheels off and store them inside. Any more thoughts?7;

    Trailer Storage

    I need to block off a large 2 axel trailer for long term storage. Should I jack it up and block it up under the frame or under 1 of the 2 axels?

    Greenlee 767 Knockout Punch Set

    Anybody have any experience with these? The pump seems to work fine but the piston where the punch mounts will not move. Before I try to take it apart, any suggestions?

    Plugs and Holder

    I found these in a box of old tools. The plugs have a hex head on them and are stored in the holder. They can be installed using a matching hex socket in the holder. Any idea what they're purpose is.
