    Under axle stabilizer arm brackets

    Tom, As a reference point; The centerline of a plain drawbar measures 31 1/2 inches to both inner and outer pins on my working set up, with one original under axle mount on right side, and newer angle iron style on left. I measured as straight as possible using the centerline between lift arm...

    Pic For Uhaul

    My local Uhaul wanted a plate number of the vehicle I would be hauling. I gave them the plate from a small pickup I owned at the time. I was actually picking up a 1921 Model T Ford, and they didn't want to hear hauling of antiques. The guy had no problem entering my newer regular driven...

    off topic Need asource for coal

    The machine shop may not have known it, but normally babbit is poured like molten solder to resurface the bushing / bearing. If done correctly around the shaft, no machining is required. High spots can be scraped by hand on larger bearing surfaces. Mostly a lost art now. Local coal suppliers...

    Dearborn Stabilizer Bracket

    And when the brackets are mounted under the axle correctly, the pins must be directly across from the pins on the axle that the lift arms connect to.

    Dearborn Stabilizer Bracket

    Pins face inboard, keeping bars away from tires. One end of small chain connects on ring of lynch pin like a key on a key ring. The other end of chain you put on the loop of a 1/8" diameter cotter pin. Then insert the cotter pin through the tiny hole in bracket to prevent from losing the...

    looking for a 8N

    As long as you have a tow vehicle, it's far cheaper to find one at a good price and move it to your place. I rented a Uhaul car trailer for $50.00 last summer to pick up a 51 8N in your area to haul to my place in NE PA. I paid 2300 for it since it had brand new rear tires and a rear blade...

    O.T. CHIMNEY SIZE

    Hey Dan, try extending the chimney a few more feet. It will probably increase the draft enough to prevent that. Also an uninsulated chimney won't draft as well, don't know what you have. Even a long run of single wall pipe cools the flue gas temperature quick enough to reduce draft. Double wall...

    O.T. CHIMNEY SIZE

    Solid fuel code requires the flue to be no smaller than the appliance outlet. Hearth.com is an excellent source for more information. (The insulated chimney would no doubt draft very well, and work fine). Appliances are tested and "listed" (UL, AGA,CGA) to be safe when used as tested. That...

    O.T. deer, rabbits, gardens

    Double 4 foot high wire fence works with them about 3 to 4 feet apart. They will go right over a single 4 foot, but if you put up a bunch of stakes with a rope or other visable line strung around the top on an inner one, again 3 to 4 feet inside the first fence, they can't jump that far and high...

    Ford 2N Brackets?????????

    bigr, They sure look like what's missing on a Ford brand snowplow I just removed from a 9N. The cables to lift the plow frame have a loop on the end of the cable with a clevis. The bolt going through the clevis is very small compared to the lift arm swivel ball ends, (maybe 3/8 or 7/16 without...
