    John Deere Van Brunt grain drill

    Thank you for all the responses. I will check for the disk opener rods for holes, but it does look like there is no rod sticking above the locking mechanism to show maybe they are adjusted for max depth?? Mine is a mechanical lift where you pull the rope and the clutch system drops and raises...

    John Deere Van Brunt grain drill

    I have a John Deere Van Brunt FB-A and it isn't putting enough down pressure on the disks. It looks like the springs don't even bottom out while going up and down with the lay of the land. It looks like something is missing on top of the springs or they have shrunk. I drill beans with the...

    1975 Ford 4100 overheating

    What's telling me its hot.? First thing is the gauge, second thing is touching the engine block and head. One thing that surprised me was that the top of the radiator and even the coolant in the top was touchable; warm but not hot, and no coolant was blowing out. Once engine got to almost the...

    School me on older John Deere Gators

    I have a 2001 Gator 4x2, bought it new. It has 1150 hours on it, and haven't done anything to it. It is built like a tank. The only thing is that when you go to take off it will hesitate a little and grab. I can reduce some of this from happening by reving the engine in neutral for a second...

    1975 Ford 4100 overheating

    1975 Ford 4100 overheating

    I have my radiator at a shop for getting checked out and cleaned out. I haven't looked at the radiator bubbles while its running. The oil is not milky looking either. I do have a lot of blow by coming out the blow by tube, which i was told don't worry about it, run it. That was several years...

    1975 Ford 4100 overheating

    My radiator hoses are not brittle or dry rotted, so i am not sure what you mean about a hose failing internally? Thank you for the responses.

    1975 Ford 4100 overheating

    1975 Ford 4100 overheating

    I have a 1975 Ford 4100 diesel that gradually started overheating. It mostly started overheating when i was working it hard, then started heating more even when not working it as hard. I noticed the anti freeze was very rusty, so i flushed it several times. I seen cooling fins were a little...

    VA ring gear

    I guess it was too cold outside to start my VA ? It spun/broke the ring gear. I dont seem to see a ring gear for sale here in the store here. Any ideas? I already split the tractor last year to replace the clutch. That didnt seem to work out well either because I never could get enough throw...
