    JD 350 Sickle mower clevis workaround?

    Heck, your solution is a darn sight simpler than the one I came up with, using shackles but also an adjustable clevis on the lift arm to copy the Deere setup. I'll make matters easier by just finding a big shackle for the drawbar. A picture is worth 1000 words... or in my case, $50 of...

    JD 350 Sickle mower clevis workaround?

    I ve learned not to take any equipment performance/application claims on faith. I ll definitely look how others use (or mis-use) their sickle mowers before heading into the field. I m mainly cutting dry straw post-harvest (I grow tall heirloom wheat for seed, and generally harvest high to avoid...

    JD 350 Sickle mower clevis workaround?

    Thanks for the snappy reply, Daniel. Great to hear the world won t come to an end if I use a regular shackle. Do send a pic if you re able so I see what worked for you. Did you use a single shackle or 2 (one on the lift bar) connected by chain? And thanks for the greasing tips. I ll...

    JD 350 Sickle mower clevis workaround?

    Hi all, I bought a near-complete JD 350 7' sickle bar mower at auction a few months back, and finally got around to attaching it to my 4010 (after removing the unhelpful quick-hitches on the swing-arms). "Nearly complete" meaning a couple of belt guards and grass separators missing, and...

    4010 my son bought today

    Hi Jim. Did you ever resolve the hydraulic noise you had in your son s 4010 way back in 2013?? The symptoms you described sounded identical to the noise & behavior the 4010 I bought several years ago suffers. No one local seems to worry about it, but it is annoyingly loud and doesn t...

    Continental F140 swaps

    Good point- then again so are combine engines. But at least combine/tractor engines tend to run at a steady throttle, unlike forklifts.

    Continental F140 swaps

    There's definitely a clutch and bell housing upstream of the drive pulley/sheave. See the attached photos, and thanks for your input.

    Continental F140 swaps

    That's definitely sounding like I'd need to do more than a casual visual inspection to know whether a Clark forklift engine is a direct swap for my combine's engine. I'm liking the idea of having my local old tractor guru do a quick rebuild, if he weren't taking months to get my JD 4010 back in...

    Continental F140 swaps

    Thanks for the info, Steve. That's what I was trying to confirm. While I know the blocks and internal bits were common across the F1-- range, I wondered whether bell housing bolt patterns, cam timing, etc. differed between applications. Even if driving a couple of hours each way with a trailer...

    Continental F140 swaps

    The rebuilder who said forklift engines won't work said that Clark forklift engines have an idler gear pin at the front of the engine, and no oil fill location. How did they add oil I wonder? My engine has a belt pulley coming off the bell housing/clutch. Pretty dead-nuts simple...

    Continental F140 swaps

    All help is useful! Good to know at least some swaps are possible. Now to learn whether engines used in forklifts are different from those used in all the other applications, from water pumps to welders. Thanks!

    Continental F140 swaps

    Hi all, My venerable Massey Harris 35 needs an engine rebuild. With prices well north of $4500 (without shipping), and no time or shop to do it myself, I'm looking for options. I know Continental F140's were used in every industrial application possible in their time, and I can get a good...

    Deere 105 Chaffer fragged

    I haven't gotten that far. Which bushings are you referring to? Still searching down a replacement chaffer. the rest of the machine is in good condition, and relatively tight, so hopefully bushings won't be an issue right away

    Deere 105 Chaffer fragged

    Thanks for the followup, ftd860. I heard good things about the fixed airfoil chaffers, and got in touch with Harvest Services in Saskatchewan, who seem to be one of the main manufacturers of both plastic fingers and airfoil chaffers. They said they no longer make them for 105's...
