    Need Info on old seed drill

    I have an old IHC seed drill with steel wheels. I will be seeding alfalfa/timothy mix on 65 acres. Can this be done with this drill? If it can, what would the setting have to be at? I will not be seeding a cover crop with it. I was wondering if anyone here used one of these drills for alfalfa seed.

    NH hay rake Model?

    That looks exactly like a Cockshutt 311 rake. I used to have one and it looked identical to the one you have pictured. All the NH rakes I have seen had 2 cranks to raise/lower each side of the basket.

    Truck trailer info needed

    mmfan55: You assumption is correct, I use the truck daily in the summer months only. I carry my slip tank, tools, oil, etc. for farm use so I was hoping to use the same truck to haul some hay if possible. Likely not a good idea considering the weight I carry on it regularly. The tractor vet...

    Truck trailer info needed

    mmfan55: thanks for your info. I don"t know the gear ratio on my truck but it is not fast at all. It has lots of pulling power in 1st & 2nd, but then quite a power loss in 3rd & 4th. This was only when I was pulling my skid steer. Empty, seems like I can use another gear as going down the...

    Truck trailer info needed

    Thank you everyone for your info, I greatly appreciate it. mattwillson: I will keep my eyes open for a bigger engine like you specified. Either that or a diesel truck, whichever opportunity comes up for the best deal I suppose. As for my 400, I don"t really know what it would be worth, I would...

    Truck trailer info needed

    Well, between gears, good brakes on my truck, good brakes on all axles on my trailer, I am confident I can safely stop. But on the other hand, if someone cuts me off then probably not. You did however, bring up a very important point which I totally agree with. I do not pull the trailer in the...

    Truck trailer info needed

    Hi everyone! I am looking for some advice. I bought a new Sure Trac 20 + 5 7000 lb tri-axle gooseneck trailer this past fall. I am presently pulling it with a 1980 F-350 dually with a 400 gas engine & 4 speed trans. This trailer weighs just under 6000 lbs empty according to specs. I can really...

    looking for two 23.1-34 tires

    I have a couple in very good shape still mounted on a 1955 Cockshutt. I have the tractor for sale as a unit for parts since the Waukesha has a nice big hole in each side of the block. Only problem is that I am far from you. I"m in Manitoba Canada.

    Question about Cockshutt 1955

    Thank you all very much for your information. By reading your posts, I will just locate another block and do an overhaul. This is the second time the tractor threw a rod. The first time it happened is when it belonged to someone else in the mid 80"s. I guess they never did the updates. I just...

    Question about Cockshutt 1955

    I have a 1955 Cockshutt with a 310 Waukesha turbo engine. This fall, the rod went through the block. I have read that the Waukesha is a poor engine. I would hate to wreck this tractor so I want to put a 354 turbo Perkins into it. Has anyone ever done this and what changes (if any) would I have...

    O/T Cockshutt 311 Rake Question

    Hello all, I posted this on implement alley but still need the proper tire size for a Cockshutt 311 rake and would like to know what the proper tire size is. I hope someone can help me. Right now it has one 6.50x16 on the chain side and a 225 75R16 on the other. The 6.50x16 does look to be...

    Cockshutt 311 Hay Rake Question

    Hello all, I just bought a Cockshutt 311 rake and want to know what the proper tire size is. Right now it has one 6.50x16 on the chain side and a 225 75R16 on the other. The 6.50x16 does look to be higher. Should they both be 6.50x16 or does this rake require 15" tires? Thanks a bunch in advance.

    generator not charging

    First thing you should check is the voltage regulator. This is the culprit most of the time. I had the same problem with a 3010 gas, I had to change the regulator. After some time, I guess the contacts get sticky in the regulator and the light comes on. All I had to do once in awhile is tap the...

    B275 nozzle setting

    Hi all, I have a B275 IH with a CAV rotary pump & internal governor. I believe it is indirect fuel injection. I just picked up my injectors from the diesel shop with new nozzles (old ones were scored). I asked him what he set the pressure to & he said just under 2500. I thought indirect...
