    White 2-85 slipping

    You will not know if the clutch is slipping until you open it up and look at the pressure plate... I just came in to take a break from pulling the clutch out of a 1600 this afternoon... Same deal as you... I have nursed it through 2 years doing plowing (not bad), then discing (had to be really...

    Value

    What is it worth to you? A scrapper will pay roughly half of what it will bring for it"s weight in metal at the scrap yard... If a collector desperately needs it to round out his collection it is worth more to him... There will be instances where some owner said, just haul it out of here so I...

    plowing

    Hard looking soil... Wow... Just plowed up ~6 acres of heavy sod today in 2 different fields with a 555H 3-14 plow... Not having any real problems... Pulling it with an Oliver 1600 (my MD does not have hydraulics)... Only problem I got into on the second field is at one end, about a half...

    OT: Investing/retirement

    Sell whatever your money is in and put it in cash... Find a small tract of tillable land (or land that can be cleared and made tillable with sweat equity) and use the cash as a down payment to get a mortgage... Rent the land out to a farmer... You will get a payback of 3% to 4% per annum...

    Hardi 1302 pump

    Does anyone have a spacing measurement or a method to set the spacing of the connecting rods when pressing on new bearings so that each rod is centered up with their respective bore?

    JD 555 Coulters

    Ya know, a little green paint covers a lot of mystery... So, the 2 hub pieces are the tapered plug type that fit into each other and turn on a bolt - no bearings, just grease... One coulter is still nearly full diameter but the other two are worn down... Interestingly, since I posted the...

    hauling refrigerators

    When the compressor is over on side/back the compressor oil runs out/up the lines (not good)/// Letting it sit upright for a bit allows the oil to drain back to the compressor section...

    IH1086 valve tic

    Well, we were at the dealer today and I bought a gasket for the rocker cover so I guess we are going to lash the valves... expensive gasket... This is a 4300 hour tractor with a sloppy amateur paint job after it was left outside to rust... It has the usual cosmetic issues but mechanically it...

    IH1086 valve tic

    Just got a 1086 with 4300 hours... Replaced the exhaust elbow... Now it is quiet enough that I hear a light valve tic from near the front and sounds like it is on a single cylinder... This is just a bit louder than the rest of the rattle and bang... Should I pull the valve cover and adjust, or...

    1600 clutch - confused

    I was pulling a 12 foot Oliver disc harrow (36 discs) and I noted smoke coming from the bell housing so I stopped... I had pulled the disc in 2nd, then 3rd, and was pulling in 4th when I saw it... This was just a test run to determine which gear I should use and I had only pulled a few hundred...

    dirty pics

    That's another fine mess you have gotten into... Wait till the ground dries with all those lumps, slumps, and trenches...

    Spray paint barn steel

    You don't say what kind of paint... I suspect you need to wash the siding with something like TSP, then put on a primer coat that is compatible with both the baked finish on the siding and your paint... If there are any rust spots on the siding covering them with paint does not stop the rust...
