    AA472R Muffler

    Misery loves company on muffler issues on the A I bought a new one for mine and it was dented tried the opposite company and it was incredibly loud even though baffled like original and peeled the paint in 5 seconds. I think if I wanted the short one and cut the current one and welded I might as...

    1937 Model D Issues

    I agree on not loving the C as well after attempting to rebuild a couple Wico X is the ticket Cs I’ve had corrode worse inside where the cover screws go into the metal housing. When you say “new”…is it new new or just a different mag? If you have 2 you can likely make one good one with a...

    Opinions Solicited

    I don’t know it seems like it would be more positionable off to the side so you could be farther from the line of fire if a kickback happened. But either way you are using the switch after whatever event occurred requiring the “panic stop” I mean if I was bleeding out yet conscious enough to...

    Another electrolysis question

    3 or 4 inch Wide flat 3/16 piece of strap that sticks out of the water enough to put the alligator clips on seems to work for me as the sacrificial positive annode you should be able to leave it overnight As it gets covered it will collect all the way across the plate as long as it’s flat or...

    1950 JD A - convert from magneto to distributor?

    I am a fan of keyed shutoff from the seat and EI. 178488 Is the part number for the distributor right here from yesterdays tractor. 330 dollars. I would purchase the distributor first and convert to EI once it’s time for points it’s still going to cost 500 bucks but it’s split up a bit that way...

    Confused on A vs B physical dimensions

    If you have a pre 1938(or 37?) unstyled B will be a shorter frame length mine is a 38 dads is a 36 his is shorter so depending on what year unstyled b you are going off yes they could be the same length. Width should be the same Height will be the difference I can see in the radiator and the...

    john deere b crankshafts

    The clutch mechanism is different as well that’s laying on the pallet next to it since this one was tighter he was going to try to use it but it didn’t fit and wouldn’t work till we switched it back B1308r is what appears to be cast into this one

    help have a 500 JD tractor commercial loader backhoe

    Mine is a B. I believe you are correct I think they might have added an auxiliary out on the stick later for a thumb and have a blank (power beyond type?) in the stack we did pull something off great grandpa had and I was young enough I am not sure what it was. The cover is covering the...

    help have a 500 JD tractor commercial loader backhoe

    Mine is at the abandoned farm site and it’s supposed to rain all day but I’ll pull the cover this morning if it holds off tomorrow and look won’t be spraying for a week the way it’s going. I think 9/16 wrench or a socket is all I need. Is it in high pressure (edit I guess technically high flow)...

    Done planting corn last week

    I have seen similar hose ends at caterpillar with the 2 clamp ends if you can’t find it through cnh (and if there’s a construction cnh outfit nearby I’d see if they are more adept at this) I’d take it there and they can build you a hose it will likely be a slightly longer in the hose section...

    Battery Chargers...

    I have had similar luck with Schumacher. Noco has been good for trickle chargers. We had at work an Associated charger they are blue that is also still made I think a 6001 was the model it is about 4 times the price as the junk ones but it’s about your only option to replace what you have.
