    Broken valve stem fixable?

    I had one get snapped off, fortunately mine still had a half inch or so sticking out. Tubed and calcium filled. I ran a thread die over what was left then screwed on a brass 90 degree fitting with some Teflon tape. Into the brass 90 I screwed a Schreader valve from an old well pressure tank...

    Never trust a spark plug

    I have a Stihl 038 that does the exact same thing, chased the problem for a while the first time, ever since then any time it starts acting up a new plug solves the problem. The saw takes a NGK plug it never looks worn nor does it appear to be burning incorrectly and it will spark all day...

    John Deere 401 with reverser, What did I do?

    It's alive Put the filters in, filled the oil and hung a gauge on the reverser. Started it up and at first it was not reading any pressure. Not a big surprise as the hydraulics were empty. Gave it a minute then tried the steering wheel, steering good. Tried the loader, working well...

    John Deere 401 with reverser, What did I do?

    Good Morning Roy. Regarding your first question, the joystick for control of the loader has always (25+years) been butter smooth on this machine and had the same feel when lifting the loader with an empty bucket or a full bucket. The loader was not laboring once a function was selected, the...

    John Deere 401 with reverser, What did I do?

    Played with it again yesterday, can't really say that I found anything plugged, broken, out of adjustment or out of place. Need to go to town today so I will pick up a new set of filters for it, don't really think they will improve the situation but the oil is drained right now so it will be an...

    John Deere 401 with reverser, What did I do?

    Thanks for the insight TX Jim I needed the reminder that the front hydraulic pump relies on the transmission pump to feed it. Messed around with it for half the day today. -Checked the roll pin on the clutch control rod to reverser and all was good. -Pulled the transmission filter relief...

    John Deere 401 with reverser, What did I do?

    JD401 Was loading up a semi with bales yesterday when the hydraulics started feeling a little weak. Had a few hours to kill before the next load so I figured being that I had a spare transmission filter on the shelf I would put in in while I had the time. Dropped the canister and discovered...

    GM 6.2 diesel advice please.

    The coolers inside radiators can handle quite a bit of pressure, I worked on a vehicle that had a faulty Allison transmission that was dumping 225 PSI through the cooler in the rad and the cooler held up to it. I had a 6.2 years ago that was dumping it's oil into the cooling system, that one...

    Rebuilding 23 hp Koehler

    If you look on some of the lawn and garden sites you will find a lot of info regarding high oil consumption on your engine. Several common problems with your engine seem to be head gasket leaks between oil drain back hole and cylinder and or bad reed valves. Doing a compression test, leak...

    Drill bit thoughts

    When all you have is an electric hand drill an you need a 1 inch hole in heavy plate you do what need to do to get the job done. Hard on the bits, maybe but they are a consumable item and they can be re-sharpened. My larger bits have been chipped up and re-sharpened on the grinder wheel...

    Vermeer 605C baler

    Won't anymore suggests it was working before (last season maybe) If nothing major has been changed or done to the baler I am going to guess that what has changed is the material you are trying to bale. Smaller windrow, drier material etc. I ran a set of belts on a 605H until they were...

    5-7 inches reported

    I was about 20 minutes from your place this weekend, amazing how many fields in Manitoba are still too wet to seed and how many producers are just starting to seed their fields. We got caught in a huge downpour on Sunday afternoon a couple of hours N.W. of you, the road we were on turned into...

    OT...cattle dart guns

    Medi Dart is the brand of the one I have. It comes with a crossbow to shoot it, they also make a version that goes on the end of a long pole. I think it holds about 30 cc, you fill the syringe on the end, screw it onto the arrow that has a built in air chamber then use a hand pump to...

    Forklift Issue

    Looking at your picture of the starter, it is of a very application specific design and style, finding a small body starter to replace it would not be easy as it is not a common automotive design. Sorry for getting your hopes up, your best bet would be changing to different angle fittings...
