    Rear rim repair?

    Finally got time to get the rims back from the shop. Now I'm a pretty good welder but this is beyond repair, in fact the shop wouldn't even remount the tires for me "IF" I fixed the rims so -- what's my options? Any one out there have a couple of spares laying around they'd sell? Or who...

    Voltage regulator

    Thanks for the pictures and the insight all. I've had this guy do electrical for me for many years with no problem so I'll trust him again and bring in the generator. I'll let you know what comes of this. And Z-man it's a 6 volt system, I'm keeping it as original as when dad first brought...

    Voltage regulator

    A couple of weeks ago I'd posted a question about the charging system and thanks to the wealth of knowledge out there I fixed the problem - for an hour or so. I polarized the system like Steve suggested and things worked fine for a day then the fluctuation started. I've tried everything...

    Are these fenders factory?

    I spoke to my brother (he's a new grandpa) and he says he remembered dad got a loader with the tractor but got rid of it because steering was a problem. Pops was 5' 4' and weighed a buck and a quarter in the rain. I guess that explains the lights. Thanks for the information all. Dave

    Are these fenders factory?

    I'm sort of enjoying researching dad's old Ferguson before the rebuild. The serial number is TO-31468 which I assume makes it a 1950 but searching photos I can't find a 1950 or actually any TO-20 with the same light configuration. The mounting tabs no both the front and back of the fenders are...

    Dash light question

    Thanks for the reminder Steve, I forgot to polarize it - the mind is the second thing to go... Have something else interesting. I've never checked the voltage during operation but did today after reading a post. Before starting the battery reads 6.3 volts approximately, after startup when the...

    Dash light question

    I've been sorting out 50 years of pieced together wiring and have run into a head scratcher. Somewhere along the line dad added a ammeter to the tractor along with the red dash light that was there and had it wired sort of strange "I think". Anyway I've searched for wiring diagrams that have...

    Rear rim repair?

    Tom, the ring is 10" (bead to bead) x 28", tires are 14.9 x 28. I'm almost done with the tables I'm building for the daughters, then the wood shop can officially become a shop - shop for the winter and I'll get the tires off. Still playing around with it though, replaced the tune up parts...

    Rear rim repair?

    Tony, isn't that the truth! I have a 2012 Dodge Ram with a rust hole if the front fender already... Anyway I drained a small amount of fluid out of both rears and it is chloride. I've got a couple of projects that needing finishing before winter, which if the weather we're having is any...

    Rear rim repair?

    I've got a problem here .. If I get the beet juice or whatever they loaded these with 40 years ago out and get the tire off has anyone ever welded these rims? Or do I need to try and find a replacement and .. if one is like this should I unload the other and check it? I'm not sure if the...

    12 volt conversion??

    Thank you for the information. I think I'll stick with the 6 volt system for now. I would like to replace the wiring harness rather than making one but have not had any luck finding Agri-corp on line .. What is the link? And while I'm gathering information where is the best place to order...

    12 volt conversion??

    I assume this subject has been beaten to death but I'm new here so please forgive.. I've got a Ferguson TO20 made I think in 1951. It was my dad's tractor, we had the engine rebuilt about 20 years ago, put oversized rear tires (I'm not sure why he did that) and that has been about it. I'm...
