    Farmall Super A Hydraulic Pump

    I'm following this one closely. I have a '52 that blew out its hydraulic pump a while ago and I ran it without it for years until I got my 444. My mechanic friend who specializes in old iron inspected it and said I need to get a rebuild kit for it. Haven't yet as there is no hurry now that...

    Circulating heater for IH 444

    Once again, with the aid of this group, I have effected troubleshooting a tractor problem. My thanks. It turns out it was a little low on coolant (my bad, shame on me...) and that likely caused an airlock. I topped it up and pulled the top hose off the heater - coolant came from both the...

    Circulating heater for IH 444

    Thanks. No, the heater hasn't moved. I'm thinking its either an air lock or sediment blockage. When it warms up tomorrow I will check on it. Thanks

    Circulating heater for IH 444

    Sadly no, at least not on their website. They have magnetic heaters but I have one of those and 200 watts of heat on the oil pan when the air temperature is minus 20 is no competition. I have found a few candidates I will purchase if I find that the heater is indeed not working - its...

    Circulating heater for IH 444

    Thanks. I'd love to run to my favourite store but cross-border travel is out for me right now. I guess I should have specified a Canadian source or internet. Saw a few on Amazon but wasn't sure if there was a preferred model people had.

    Circulating heater for IH 444

    Anyone have any suggestions of replacements if it comes down to that? In my googling efforts I found one that was "suited for industrial and agricultural uses" but I can't seem to find it anymore.

    Circulating heater for IH 444

    I spent some more time digging through the archives of YT last night and saw a post saying something similar. When the temps rise a bit here I will pull it off and see if there is anything blocking it. Thanks

    Circulating heater for IH 444

    The previous owner of my tractor put on it what appears to be a Temro Zero Start circulating tank heater. It worked great for me for the first two winters I owned the tractor, now its acting up. When I plug it in, I can hear it starting to heat up then, after about 30 seconds, it stops...

    Allied Snow blower vs 18" of Snow

    I am happy to report that the snowblower is back in service. My dealer got me the correct sheer pins (5/16 x 1" for the PTO shaft and 5/16 x 1 1/4 for the auger shaft). Once installed it still didn't want to turn. On closer inspection, there was a small piece of gravel frozen into one of...

    Allied Snow blower vs 18" of Snow

    Thanks guys. I wasn't sure if I could use proper shear bolts; the user manuals I have seen online all state "grade 5 bolts" for the auger shaft and "grade 8 bolts" for the PTO yoke. I can't recall what the bolts looked like before they broke: second season with this unit and a visual...

    Allied Snow blower vs 18" of Snow

    Well, winter finally came to Northwestern Ontario. We got 18 inches of fluffy powder over night. I have a 72" Allied blower on my IH 444 (British/Canadian). Got it last year and it worked flawlessly. Today it had a few issues. The collar on the auger drive shaft came loose allowing...

    The chimney is clean.

    Thanks for answering. At this point I'm stumped. It sounds like you are doing everything right. I wouldn't expect too much creosote from those species of wood. My only suggestion at this point is experimentation. Sorry I couldn't be more help. If I were in the neighbourhood I would...

    Electric_pick-ups

    The principal at our rural school (45 minute commute from town) had a Volt and loved it. Even in winter he could easily go back and forth to school without worry. He figured his daily cost went from $8 cdn a day to less than $1 cdn based on him plugging into the charger at his home. Both...
