    850 brake drum removal

    The designers usually are highly intelligent which is why they make a design that requires a specialty tool. They require specialty tools for two reasons. The first reason is to produce designs that reduce production costs. If they can reduce unit cost by even a small amount, that adds up...

    Reading the dipstick

    I definitely have that problem too. If the dipstick is only marked on one side I find that it is sometimes easier to see the level on the smooth unmarked side than the side with markings. You can then turn the stick over to see where that is on the marked side. Sometimes you can hold the...

    3pt measurement from pto to lower link end

    ASG, did the picture you post come from the ISO standard document? If so is that included in ISO 730 or ISO 500. I have been trying to find a copy of ISO 730 but I hate having to pay for standards documents. Also do you know if ASABE maintains their own standard for 3 points and PTOs or did...

    Compression Misfire Again

    Like others have said, the dielectric strength of air goes up with pressure. But you can actually blow out an arc with air. It is a common way to suppress arcs in high voltage circuit breakers. In air, the arc travels along a path of ionized gas and the air flow can disrupt this path. The...

    Starter issue?

    You will want the tractor in neutral, with the PTO engaged. This will connect the PTO to the engine, but keep the tractor from moving. Remove the spark plugs and then turn the PTO shaft. With the plugs removed it shouldn't take very much to make the engine turn. Probably safest to have the...

    53 Ford Jubilee Thermostat?

    Did you test the thermostat before putting it back in? Did the head gasket fail from overheating? Do you know your temp gauge is accurate? It's awfully hard to get air trapped in these cooling systems. I would bet either a failed thermostat or it's installed backwards. It's a quick job to...

    Fluid filled tube question

    Exactly. Everyone around here uses CACL because nothing around here is flat and you can't get more weight closer to the ground than with ballasted tires. Rims rust out because people don't maintain their equipment, then instead of blaming the failure on their own carelessness they blame it on...

    Today's funny

    Not only do I have a favorite spatula, but when it developed a crack, I had my brother TIG weld it for me so I wouldn't have to replace it.

    900 Powermaster for sale

    Looks like it came from "Pimp my Ride" :lol: .I love the 8000 rpm tach. Serial says it's a 651 which would have come with a 5 speed.

    Wheel locks. Ya hate ''em, right?

    Wheel locks have kinda become pointless. For less than 100 bucks on Amazon you can get a set of removers that have most of the keys for the locks out there and a set of the "easy out" style removers for any you don't have the key for. Any tweaker stealing wheels will have also stolen a battery...

    Old machine, new method - laser cutting gaskets

    If the gasket you are copying will fit on a flat bed scanner that is a good way to get fairly accurate pictures that you can turn into an STL or DXF.

    Brake problem and engine white smoke issues

    The master cylinder can leak around the pushrod and let brake fluid into the vacuum brake booster which can cause problems and a rough idle can be caused by a vacuum leak in the brake booster. White smoke can also be caused by the engine sucking brake fluid into the intake from the booster. I...

    Best wire splice method

    I always use the open barrel splicing crimps. You lay all the wires parallel then crimp them shut. You need a high quality crimping tool though or they will not work right. Solder causes problems especially if there is lots of vibration. I usually cover them with marine heat shrink which has...

    Electrical question.....(not a tractor)

    That's easy. It grounds through the black wire off the wiper motor harness through the same ground point as the blower motor.

    06 f150 heat issue

    Stepping on the brake pedal when the battery is disconnected just puts a load on the electrical system to discharge any capacitors that might still be supplying voltage to the electronic modules.
