    Lely 240 optimo

    I have a Lely 240 optimo that broke the square driveshaft off at the gear box. It is 91 1/4 long and approximately 12mm or 7/16 square. Does anyone know where these can be found new, used or aftermarket? It appears to be made of harder than average steel. Thanks

    Alternator w/tach drive conversion

    Thanks for everyone?s input. This is a far from perfect tractor however I like to try to keep things like they are supposed to have been and in working order if it?s feasible. All the original sending units have been removed and replaced. The temp looks like a thermocouple and the oil...

    Alternator w/tach drive conversion

    I haven?t checked the injector pump this year but I did check and change it last summer. It wasn?t empty then but it was very washed down with diesel. This tractor gets minimal use. Last year I got it running and just used it to haul wood. This year pretty much the same except I used it to...

    Alternator w/tach drive conversion

    How low does the oil pressure get before the indicator light comes on? Mine carries around 20lb at idle and 40-50 around half throttle. It?s been my experience that once a warning light comes on it?s usually to little to late and the damage is already done.

    Alternator w/tach drive conversion

    My 5000 is a 68 made in October according to the numbers. It has the screw in plugs under the oil filter and block. Guessing this means the alternator gear drive is the way I will have to go. It does look like the oil pump drive would work better if it could be used

    Simms injector pump gasket

    I don?t know of of any injector pump shops in my area. just thought I would see if anyone had a favorite place to get parts like this. I searched the part number and looked around on eBay with no Luck. I had the cover off last summer and when I put it back on the gasket was stretched out and...

    Wiring question

    thanks for the info. I wasnt sure how much amp draw the heater had or if the key switch could handle the amperage. I will plan to use a relay. Use lighter wire to the relay and #12 from the battery to the relay contact and to the heater itself.

    Wiring question

    I have a 1968 Ford 5000 that has a intake heater that the wiring has been removed. What size of wire should this be and does the wire run straight from the key switch to the heater? No relay needed?
