    SC ground speed in lower gears

    About the only complaint I've ever had with the SC design is that the ground speed of 2nd should be less and of the 1st gear it should be much less. You may not agree but I spent my first 15 years on this model and that is still my opinion. Does anyone have experience with changing these two...

    Anyone else admit to having one of these?

    Educate this dummy: What model? What were the major faults or problems?

    SC clutch throwout bearing

    Yes, I'm shocked to see the good condition of the clutch assembly when I think of how many thousands of hours this tractor has operated - I know because I was the driver most of those hours years ago. Took the pilot bearing out this morning and it doesn't look like it's even been used. I'll be...

    SC clutch throwout bearing

    My first attempt to make repairs to a clutch. And, I'm wondering why they call it a throwout bearing when there is no bearing in the throwout piece. There is a carbon-like material on the front face of the throwout - is this front-face material considered a bearing or is there ball or needle...

    Quick Hitch Plow Model Unknown

    That number I had in my original posting is located on the left beam. It is the only number or indication I can find anywhere on the plow. Thanx

    Quick Hitch Plow Model Unknown

    Thanks for all the quick replies. I've tried finding information from all the links on the left but no luck. I do not think I want to match exactly what is on the plow now, which was on the plow when I bought it. I think what is in place is not correct. I'll send photographs. Maybe you all...

    Quick Hitch Plow Model Unknown

    How does one determine the model number of a 2-14" quick-hitch plow? There is nothing stamped in the steel except one number: "IH 518003R1". The plow needs new shins and shares but without the model number I don't know what to order.

    W-4, W-6, W-9

    Someone mentioned the R John Deere. I remember the first one I had ever seen in 1955. Never seen such a massive piece of iron. My Dad say nobody ever needed that large of a tractor. He & I farmed 640 acres with JD B and IH SC. That was JD's most powerful tractor at the time. Today, every...

    I'm Just Smiling TOOOO Much Lately!!

    Gab, buy a pair of "YakTrax". They quickly fit over the bottom of your shoe/boot. Easy on, easy off. It'll be the best $20 you spend this Winter.

    Many tractors

    I run across a LOT of old tractors and machinery setting back in the fields while out bird (sharptails, partridge, grouse) hunting. I've especially found this true in Montana. Although it looks like they've been setting there for 30 years they have not rusted badly, apparently due to the low...

    uses for old jeans

    I'll have to admit that when working around the sheds or in the field, I look like a poor bum. I remember one old shirt I loved to wear. It had several holes in it, the elbows gone, etc. I rescued it more than once from my wife's washing room trash can. Finally decided I'd use it to make a...

    560 Gas Running again!

    Why not post the name of that shop, the city of location and a telephone number? You ought to toot his horn with additional jobs but unless the above information is listed we can just guess where "a little shop in western Kentucky" is located.

    If you make that revision to 133cid, do you have to make any changes to the carb. or to the valves?

    Fishing for a project

    I agree with Lmack, a 10-year old boy is not really going to enjoy working on something as big as a tractor, even a little one. If he can't reach around it with his arms, he'll quickly lose interest. Has he shown a real interest in things mechanical? or, do you just want him to. If not, forget...
