    Very Curious

    This is a picture I copied from Tractor House. The tractor was advertised as a 1951 Farmall M with factory 3 point hitch. From the picture I believe it is an M. I have never seen a 3 point hitch setup like this. Has anyone seen a setup like this? If someone figured this out from other...

    Vintage 1940's Gleaner in Action

    Working with several family films. One from 1951. showing what I believe to be a mid 1940's Gleaner Baldwin H Series in action on our farm in southern Kansas. Bin has the lift gate (no auger) and the spreader is driven by outward rear pulleys attached to the walker? drive. Estimate the header to...

    Mower Gear Box Oil Level

    Thanks for your comments. First, I got the PTO housing and shafts to slide (slight tapping with hammer). In the process, I had to replace the wires holding the outer shield, nylon seal ring and steel ring to the shaft end. Just made my own. Seems to hold everything in place. Smoothed...

    Mower Gear Box Oil Level

    Picked up a 5ft BMB (B-5) mower. Probably built in the 80's. Very mild use. Has not run in 15+ years. Original owner purchased new. Had gearbox issue (from the start) and dealer replaced it within several years. First on the list is changing oil. This box has a large plug on the back side (not...

    'Hobo's Temp. Gauge Install Instructions.....6 pix long

    I choose to install the sensor via the upper radiator hose. Clean install without modifying the originality. Found I positioned the T-adaptor a bit low on the hose. When installing the hood, the front of the gas tank is right up to the adaptor. Should have moved the T up the hose about an inch...

    8N Starter

    Up-Date We have crank! Before re-installing the starter (again), sanded the long starter bolts, the heads and the inside of the holes. Sanded the inner part of the wrap around cover of the brushes, sanded the steel (back side of the dash) where the battery cable connects. Then the suprise...

    8N Starter

    Up-Date I pulled the starter and took to a shop that repairs starters. Clamped it into his shop vise, put the power to her and spinned like a top. He noted a hairline crack in the interior housing where the starter drive comes through (honeycomb area). He said this should not be a problem...

    8N Starter

    Tried the jumper straight to the starter. Nothing. Loosed bolts, shook, tapped and retightened several times. Nothing. Next to pull and take it in for a test. Get it into hands who are in the know. Thanks for the advise.. Chet

    8N Starter

    I have read many post and done many things hoping to figure out the problem so I did not have to bring up "starter topics" you have discussed many times. But... An 8N, 1950 side mount 6 volt. Starting to put her back together after a mid level reconditioning which included new battery, new...

    8N Starter Re-install

    Well it took 3 step backs and a few choice words (directed at Henry Ford). I did unbolt the oil canister and removed the petcock bolt (had not filled the radiator yet). I found on your first try, you are real gentle not wanting to force anything and not wanting to ding the paint you applied...

    8N Starter Re-install

    In the process of putting this project back together and having a difficult time re-installing the starter. I had a grounding issue after painting and wanted to take a look at the brushes. Did major sanding to get a good ground but can't find the angle to re-install. Looks like might need to...

    8N w/Radiator Hose Adapter

    Its aluminum. I purchased several fitting just to be sure it matched with the temp sensor fitting. Snugged in nicely. It's in a position where if I need to replace with another fitting, its an easy out and in. The radiator was a bit more than expected. The overflow tube was broke off. Had a...

    8N w/Radiator Hose Adapter

    I have seen several post asking how to install a temperature sensor on a 8N. Drilling into the boss seems to be popular but really did not want to drill into the block. Others mentioned using the upper radiator hose and went that route. Thought I would pass these on so others could see what it...
