    Question on electrolytic rust removal

    So after you've done the electrolysis method, how do you dispose of the water/mixture? Especially those who are using the trench in the ground with plastic method.

    Homemade Cultipacker

    The concrete is ballast to make it heavier. The tube itself isn't flexible and doesn't float in the same way a cultipacker does which is what @paul is pointing out.

    Debating if a SoS is worth the “risk” for loader work

    I loved our SOS for it's range of speeds offered while mowing or pulling the baler. But I'm not sure I'd want to be using that shifter/linkage mechanism of a ~60 year old tractor for loader work. It seems to me that you'd be tempting fate after while. What do you plan to use the loader for...

    Electrical accessories

    Part of it is probably theft deterrent. How much would it cost to buy that tailgate? If it requires programming then you have to visit a dealer. It's money for the dealer (which they like) along with likely serial number tracking for stolen property.

    Solar battery/maintainers

    For those that plug into the cigarette lighter (or since they no longer give you the lighter end...the power port :)) some vehicles those are direct wired to the vehicle and the charger will maintain your battery. Some manufacturers (my '03 Toyota Camry) that port is switched with the key. So a...

    IMAC computer batteries?

    The early Apple Magic Mouse used AA batteries as mentioned above with an access door to replace them. The later/newer version has an internal lithium-ion battery that recharges through a Lightning cable or USB-C (again depending on how "new" the mouse is). These latter ones should hold a charge...

    172 Dist oil tube

    Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. The spring on the cap is long gone so I think he was worried that dirt and build-up had gotten in there.

    172 Dist oil tube

    My dad picked up a (I believe) '63 Ford 4000 light Industrial from a local salvage guy. We've been working on getting everything back into working order. It appears the little tube that attaches to the distributor is plugged with crud. We were wondering if that can be removed? Is it a press fit...

    Paint stripper/carbon remover

    I haven't looked recently, but a couple years ago I was able to get it in aerosol cans at AutoZone.

    Wood deck trailer owners, protecting the surface?

    I do the half used oil and half diesel on my trailer. Soaks in well. Just have to be careful after a fresh application and a rain, it can be pretty slick.

    Any Farmerizing Ideas For My Old 14.9" X 26" Tire

    This would be my thought as well, but I've never tried so was unsure. I didn't pick up on the bead damage in the photo so couldn't judge what shape things were in.

    Any Farmerizing Ideas For My Old 14.9" X 26" Tire

    I like your creativity to keep the tire on. Any chance the rim isn't the correct size? There's nothing obvious of the bead on the first picture but as mentioned maybe some close ups would show something.

    Ford 871 Positive or Negative Ground with 12 volt generator?

    Thank you for that link. This is exactly what I was hoping for.

    Ford 871 Positive or Negative Ground with 12 volt generator?

    Not to derail this from the original posters question, but @Destroked 450 is there a way to identify a 12v generator from a 6v? I presume the regulator may have some markings/stamped numbers indicating proper voltage?

    Allis Chalmers road grader

    Not sure if this helps. A year or two back there was one that sold at auction (SE Iowa) that looked complete in the pictures but did not run (was supposed to turn over). It brought $700-750 if I recall right. I wanted to bid but figured my wife wouldn't see the joy as much as I would. :LOL:
