    JD 1050

    Well guys, I gotta say you got it right. I was getting 50 lbs. just cranking it. Needless to say I feel a little embarrassed. I've been working on equipment all my life, and I've never seen diesel oil so clean after a change. I've had this thing since '86 and honestly don't remember it being...

    JD 1050

    I'll try to keep this brief. I finally brought it in for some needed work. One of the things I did was pull the bottom engine plate off to inspect the rod bearings. I could have sworn I started hearing a slight knock last year. With the plate off I could reach up and check 1 of the rods for...

    Help identify

    I know this isn't a tractor, but some of you must know what it is. I mainly need to know what engine it is. This thing has changed hands and painted so many times, I can't find a tag on it anywhere. Thanks.

    Cub Plugs/wires

    I'll be using it for cultivating, so it won't be used hard.

    Cub Plugs/wires

    Whats the best plugs and wires to use for a '51 Cub with a Mag. The wires in the YT store don't say if they're solid or not. I thought I saw somewhere that Autolite 3116 plugs work(which are the ones I used to run in my JD A). Are they still a good non-fouling plug like they were 20 years ago...

    Cub fender brackets

    Yeah, that's why I asked. I figured I could eliminate them to prevent it from happening again. That and finally get the dern thing out of the weather. I can't see a real purpose for it.

    Photos of another splitting idea

    Nice Gantry. Here's what I use for heat. I have no problem getting it 80 when it's single digits out.

    Cub fender brackets

    The more I look at these, the more I don't think it's factory, too big and square. I'll be darned if I can find any pictures of this area on cubs. Does anyone else's look like this? I want to get fenders cause they are rotted out behind both brackets. One picture I did manage to find didn't have...

    MW clutch

    Ok, thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

    MW clutch

    That's what I thought too, no matter the clutch position it should roll. The reason I asked was because the M&W sits right on the outside of the brake cover and is tied in thru the brake somehow. At least I think it is anyway. So if the M&W is stuck, most likely the brake is too, causing it to...

    MW clutch

    Yeah, I know. That's why I've put it off this long.

    MW clutch

    I'm finally getting a chance to do the head gasket on my MD that sat outside for about 10-12 years. My problem is the left rear wheel is locked up. So is the M&W. My question: is the axle locked up because of the M&W? It(axle) has a tiny bit of movement after bringing it up to my garage. I used...

    Change magneto ignition to battery ignition?

    I agree with Randy, you can't beat a good mag. Sure they are more expensive, but that extra cost makes up for all of the dist/coil headaches. I've had a mag on my Oliver 60 for 20 years with no problems, knock on wood. As stated, you don't need full voltage for a mag equipped tractor to start...
