    Loaded tires?

    Thanks, guys! 'Preciate the advice. My ol' JD does several things: Pull a home made 8' log drag to smooth dirt surface: Maybe 10% Drag logs 10% Pull wagon with weekend groceries/supplies/wife across stream - 80% So I'm figuring the beet juice route is best. Just got to find a tire filling...

    Loaded tires?

    I blew a tube on my 50. Gonna replace it and wondering how big a problem it will be to skip loading it and run with 1 tire loaded and the other air only? 'Preciate any thoughts... Thanks, Chuck

    Empty Rad?

    I go to top up the radiator on my '53 50 and find that everything I pour in pours right out the bottom. I have only run it for 10-15 min at a time for a long while so no Idea when this happened. My question: can I run it safely for 15-20 min to get it to where I can repair it? Advice...

    Did not think of brazing. Might work great. But not in my skill set... Thanks!

    JD 50 Exhaust Manifold

    Good advice! I will stay away from the new manifold. I believe it leads to alcohol. Thanks! Chuck
