    550

    I have a 1960 550 industrial and replaced the screen this summer using metal mosquito screen. The frame was in good shape, so that made it easy. Didn't look too hard for a screen, but the little searching I did produced nothing.

    550 valve cover torque

    Not sure about that...yet. I will not be able to remove the fuel tank until this weekend, and with all the grease and grime and very little clearance between the nuts and the tank, it's difficult to tell. I just happened to reach between the tank and top of the cover and could spin two of the...

    550 valve cover torque

    Anyone know the torque (ft. lbs.) for the 4 nuts/bolts holding on the valve cover of a 1960 550? Just happened to be cleaning between the fuel tank and the cover and at least two were spinning freely. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

    Can a 550 Industrial's hydraulic tank cause overheating?

    Looking for opinions on this one...I have a 1960 550 industrial with a front-mounted hydraulic reservoir. It's mounted with straps secured to a 'brush guard' and it sits about 2-3 inches from the front of the grill. Had problems with overheating during this season's haying (first time using this...
