    Model A carburetor issues (still)

    True, but since the problem mentioned is flooding, it is flowing. Loosehandle mentioned a possible pressure buildup in the tank which could cause gas to be forced into the carb and flood it, which is why I mentioned what I did.

    Model A carburetor issues (still)

    Not saying the mechanics didn't know what they were doing, but for peace of mind you might want to double check the float yourself since it was not replaced. If good, then the needle and seat are the next place gas would keep flowing to flood it. I've had current ethanol gas do this to a...

    Buying Advice

    I was sticking with either a Case, JD, or Komatsu. I was already thinking about long term needs before coming on here and those are ones that I see parts are still readily available for. The reason I was asking what I did was after seeing my uncle fall victim to buying one and having to have it...

    Buying Advice

    The idlers are the second thing I glance at after seeing how square or sharp the sprocket teeth are. Seems the easiest to see right off before having to get down and look closer. The reason I asked about if there was a standard idler thickness was that I've seen some with replaced sprockets but...

    Buying Advice

    That is the best thing to do, I agree PJH. I once knew an older gentleman who was an operator all of his life and still on the job into his 70's on everything up to D9's. He was someone I would have bought more than just a dinner for. This was back when I was being paid to run a D4 Hystat...

    Buying Advice

    Thanks Jim, I was kind of afraid it wouldn't be that easy to go in with just one set of specs. And I guess maybe is why the 450C has been listed for so long with a reduction in price over a lengthy time span, others with more experience and knowledge are passing it up. I had previously read the...

    Buying Advice

    First time buyer of a dozer and wanted to ask about what seems to be a concern. Would repair to only one half of an undercarriage be a red flag? So far I have inquired on a Komatsu D31 where the seller is including one sprocket and chain to replace what I could see in the picture was some pretty...

    Vintage Precleaner

    Hi, first time posting, apologies if I am out of line for anything. I wanted to ask if anyone happened to know the brand or model of this precleaner (if picture shows) I saw on a video posted a few years ago? The owner replied that his dad had restored the '46 JD A, but had passed away and that...
