    Flywheel bolts 1850, Can I used Loctitie?

    Just my $.02 worth here. And when it comes to advice, you get what you pay for. That being said… I’m not the huge fan of Loctite (or whatever brand you prefer), when it comes to an area like this. I feel Loctite has a place, just not so sure THIS is the place. If you can get it together the...

    Sabotage?!

    My boss just had his Kia SUV in for a recall (tech said to get it fixed or it might burn to the ground) and while he was there, he questioned them about two tpms (tire pressure monitor system) sensors that weren’t working. They said them had them on hand and could replace them while doing the...

    Modern windmill

    I have put in some time at the original Dempster plant in Beatrice, Nebraska that used to make windmills. (Building(s) are currently being demolished) Several times, I’ve also pulled the casings below the old pump windmills to replace the leather cups. I have no problem with somebody going...

    520 Oliver baler

    Yes, ALTHOUGH the last time I went to an AGCO dealer for Oliver parts, the parts man told me to go searching for Oliver parts on the internet instead of bothering him. 🤣

    Chain Saw Museum

    Since the topic is chainsaws, here’s one of my favorites. There was a farm auction a few years ago that probably had 100 old chain saws on a trailer. So the high bidders got choice. I was the first high bidder and I picked this one. If I got a dollar for everyone who came to me later saying “I...

    Mercury lamp dusk-to-dawn sensor?

    This is just my opinion…but I have worked on a few. The modern “eye” sensors are junk compared to the ones they made decades ago. I would bet that your new sensor is having problems and the problems are the results of lightning, power surges or just an eye that is cheaply made. I know you love...

    Tractor Radios

    You are right about vibration being the killer. It could be anything. Does it light up, make noise or is it completely dead? I would take it apart and do a close visual. It being completely dead is probably the power section, possibly an internal fuse. Lighting up or making noise is something...

    LUCAS A 127/65

    I think I’m going to let you or someone else do all the legwork, but there are GM alternators with tach drives available. You can Google it, (DuckDuckGo for me), and all kinds of suppliers have it and at a somewhat reasonable price, at least compared to your Lucas. Again, will it work or does...

    Still no spark Ferguson TEA20

    Of course, none of us here can properly troubleshoot your tractor because we are not there. But I’m almost suspecting the coil. Or maybe an open coil wire. Got a known good coil you can substitute in?

    O.K. I give up.

    The next time you have an abbreviation, just enter it in Google or DuckDuckGo and you will get an answer. Of course, some abbreviations have more than one answer.

    Quite impressed

    I have quite a few Hercules-branded battery powered-tools. Their warranty is as good as the competitor’s. I use the tools for a living and I use them hard. I’ve had two batteries fail on me. The replacement was as simple as “Yea, go to the rack and pick up your replacement…”, and then they would...

    Quite impressed

    HF can be hit or miss. I’ve been both amazed and disgusted with some of their stuff. Right now I’m doing carpentry work. A few years ago, I bought a Hercules battery-powered circular saw from them. My co-worker, who is 74 and has been a carpenter for 54 of those years, was really amazed at the...

    Story and a Question

    My first thought was that the algae was growing in that fuel line. Perhaps you could have some new fuel filters on hand. It’s possible you will soon need them.

    Pipe wrench question

    This^. When I was growing up, we had one that was about 3 feet long. We called it a monkey wrench. Now…..anybody want to research how the wrench got to be called “monkey”?

    Oliver 70

    Does this Oliver 70 have any sentimental value to you? If it DOES, proceed with caution and see if you can get it broke loose. If it has no value to you, go ahead and also proceed with trying to get it broke loose, but I would advise you not sink any money into it. It can be a money pit. You can...
