    Can anyone help identify this hay rake?

    There used to be alot of those rakes in My area, we owned one just like it back in the day but ours was on full rubber. I raked with one on full steel wheels when I helped the neighbors. We never had a manual for ours but from what I've seen they called that rake the IH McCormick enclosed gear...

    dropped sleeves

    The Loc tite products might have been available but I was a Highschool kid and had no idea. And apparently the local Dealership Mechanics didn't either. No Google around those days. All I know that was the only fix they offered and it got us by for a couple years.

    dropped sleeves

    Our 1948 8N dropped a sleeve a couple different times, didn't have a whole lot of money at the time so My Dad had Me fix it. I went to the local Ford dealer and they said to clean the bore of the block and the new sleeve and then paint it with Aluminum paint. It was a short term fix but this was...

    574 no diesel from fuel tank

    I ran into that on a 884 I believe it was, the tractor had sat for several years and we got it running and then it quit. No fuel out of the tanks, took the lines off and they were oozing a black pine tar like substance, luckily it didn't get into the filters so we had the tank cleaned and...

    Replacement funnel strainers

    We have always had the Behrens galvanized funnels on the farm, I did lose the screens out of them occasionally and contacted them and they sent Me a couple screens along with the clips to hold them in. I don't remember if they charged for them or not it's more than likely been over 20 years now...

    In search of short frame unstyled B hood

    I bought a couple of them from Detwiler's in Wisconsin although it's been a few years ago. I'm not sure if they're still around these were reproduction hoods and I was very happy with them. I might have one here that was damaged when a pole building came down on it, the hood was dented and...

    1952 JD 60 Rims

    Google double bevel rims, they were very common in that era. They look to be readily available either new or salvage yards should have them. I bought a couple used ones in the past for my 70 & also the 720 I had.

    Pioneer Power Le Suer?

    I just heard from My brother he said they pulled in with the camper last night around 9:30 last night and all was good. High and dry.

    Would like some help picking a Ford 4000 or talk me into another model.

    I agree with Destroked on those stabilizers, my 7710 came with those on, I believe factory installed. I have since added them on My 4000 and have a set waiting to be installed on my 7700. They eliminate the fighting with the rigid stabilizers while installing or removing your 3 pt...

    Would like some help picking a Ford 4000 or talk me into another model.

    I also had a 2010, we used it for several years then it developed engine trouble and the rest of the tractor was poor enough so it was sold for salvage. I believe my brother sold it to All States our host now. That being said I now own both a 1967 4000 gas and a 4610 diesel. I've never been...

    Help with Oliver 77 Row Crop track install

    I would agree they definitely look like Arp tracks, I've got a set I plan on installing on one of My Fords. There used to be a lot of info on the net if you search Arps half tracks including mounting instructions.

    FORD 772 Loader Hydraulic Cylinder

    I may have a pair of cylinders off my buddies loader, the loader worked well but he bent the frame beyond reasonable repair. We just got 6'' of fresh snow but when I get a chance I can check on them. However where are you located I'm in Northern Mn so maybe I'm too far away.

    Minnesota grain binder parts

    I took a quick look at the binder the other day I do believe the knotter is complete with that gear on it although the chain is gone. Where are you located? I'll give you a heck of a deal on the whole machine.
