    Gravity feed diesel tank recommendations

    This is where I am at. My grandpa is now 86 years old, and lugging around 5 gallon diesel cans is just not doable anymore. The time it takes to run to town and back is starting to add up for me as I also work outside the house. I think I'll pull the trigger on a gravity feed tank. We don't...

    Gravity feed diesel tank recommendations

    I am looking at one similar to this. I already have a small concrete pad poured, so the foundation should be good for a couple thousand pounds of fuel. Does the gravity feed work good on yours?

    Gravity feed diesel tank recommendations

    Looking for some advice on what brand/style of gravity feed diesel tank to get on my farm? Looking for 150-300 gallon tank that I will fill with off-road diesel. My farm has been in the family for just under 100 years now and it's time to upgrade the fuel storage!

    1959 D14 - Overhaul

    My all original D14 is in need of an overhaul soon. I haven't done any specific compression tests yet, but that will come. It is low on power, burns a good amount of oil, can be hard to start, misses when under a load, a few other things. This tractor has been the best tractor I have ever...

    Does anyone have irrigation wheel line parts laying arou

    In a last ditch effort before trying to weld some gears together for a neighbor, does anyone have any old wheel line center sections laying around? I m looking for the 60-70 s style wheel line mover that uses gears (ring and pinion style). Gheen was the manufacturer I believe. I need as much of...

    Rock Auto question

    My business has been selling to RockAuto for almost 15 years now. They are a logistics and IT company first, parts store second. They don't markup our parts very much, roughly 5-10%, but they receive incredible rates from FedEx Ground and other carriers. Their primary source of income is...

    1959 D14 - Advice needed on potential overhaul

    Sorry just now seeing your reply. We have been using straight SAE 30 for as long as I can remember on this tractor. My oil pressure gauge just reads "normal". On startup I can get the gauge to read about halfway up on the normal range. It will stay in normal range until about 15-20...

    1959 D14 - Advice needed on potential overhaul

    Thank you for all of this information! Sounds like an overhaul, sooner rather than later, is my best option to keep this tractor going. It burns a good amount of oil, and the oil pressure when warm is almost zero. Any recommendations on what brand to use for parts? There are a few...

    1959 D14 - Advice needed on potential overhaul

    This is great advice. I really haven't done anything mentioned above other than plugs, and a few ignition components. Might be time for a complete tune-up and go from there. Thanks.

    1959 D14 - Advice needed on potential overhaul

    I also have a high appreciation for these 149 engines. It has never needed major work, and it has been ran pretty hard for close to 65 years. But the main issue right now is the burning of the oil, and once the tractor warms up it has close to zero oil pressure (not sure if that's normal or...

    1959 D14 - Advice needed on potential overhaul

    Thanks for the reply. This tractor has been used regularly since the 50's, and has never sat for longer than maybe a few months at at time. We use it for mowing, spraying, etc. All oil changes and regular maintenance has been done. The question was more along the lines of when is it time...

    1959 D14 - Advice needed on potential overhaul

    I have a 1959 D14 that has been in the family since my great-grandpa owned his A-C dealership. I am guessing it has anywhere from 3000-4000 total hours on it, and it has never been overhauled to my knowledge. It is starting to burn a decent amount of oil, has a slight miss on...

    Ford 6610 - Tie rod end

    Thanks for that tip. This tractor has higher hours on it so I am guessing it's a good idea to replace the tie rod ends even if they aren't completely worn out.

    Ford 6610 - Tie rod end

    Hey folks, I am somewhat new to Ford tractors, and I am guessing I have some worn out tie rod ends based on the photo. Normally there is a boot or bushing that goes between the tie rod and steering arm, correct? Do I need to replace it, or just throw some grease in there? I saw they are...

    New Holland 479 Haybine - Need some help!

    Hey folks, Just starting cutting hay and wouldn't you know it, the top roller bearing on the PTO side is going out. I heard it making more noise than normal so I decided to stop and check things out. I was just curious what the best steps are to replacing it? It doesn't seem overly...
