    Check wire planter wire…

    Here’s what they look like. I saved them from being scrapped once but from what I can tell they have little to no value other than scrap price. If you are in the southwest Iowa area and have any interest at all let me know.

    Check wire planter wire…

    I have two spools of check wire. Does it have any value at all above scrap?

    Hauling Deere D

    I just don’t have a trailer brake controller in this truck. The brakes on the trailer haven’t been used for 10 years and I would imagine they are rusted up. I guess what started this was I didn’t know how heavy the D was. It looked heavy to me. All this brings to mind the old saying ‘If you...

    Hauling Deere D

    I hauled a 57 Chevy station wagon over the Rocky Mountains on I-80 with a 2008 1/2 ton Silverado probably 10 years ago. That truck had the driver information info in the dash and I could watch the transmission fluid reach 210 degrees plus and can still remember the stench of hot tranny fluid...

    Hauling Deere D

    The pickup is a 1/2 ton. The heaviest thing I have hauled on the trailer is a 2006 1/2 ton Silverado 4 wheel drive and have did that more than once and it seemed to handle it just fine. The old tractor is a non runner with all steel wheels. I suspect you are correct about the 3500 axles. The...

    Hauling Deere D

    Can I haul a 1928 John Deere D 24 miles with a 2020 Silverado 5.3 and a 16 foot flatbed trailer 5 lug 15” wheels and a 2x10 plank floor. Also to note the trailer has no brakes but the route has minimal hills. This is a one time deal and in any case would be done slowly and carefully. Not sure...

    JD 60 I need help Timing maybe??

    Figured I'd better change the oil before I went too much farther. Supposedly it has sat since 1999. Dang these things hold alot of oil. Overflowed my drain pan and made a heckuva mess. <image src="http://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/photos/mvphoto19038.jpg"/>

    JD 60 I need help Timing maybe??

    Pulled off the hydraulic pump. The lug was loose on the shaft on the input side. Lug coming out of the governor was tight. Pulled the pump off to the side and bolted the dist up to the governor, set the dist by turning the ignition switch on and turning the dist backward until a wire from the...

    JD 60 I need help Timing maybe??

    Ok I went out and pulled the dist. Heres the tricky part, the lug that drives the dist (its a hydraulic pump for the Behlen) has nearly a 1/4 turn worth of slop. Surely there must be something wrong back there? It couldn't run with slop in it like that could it? <image...

    JD 60 I need help Timing maybe??

    According to information I have found the top wire on the dist cap should go to the flywheel side. And yes the rotor is pointing to actually below where it would go to the clutch side plug. Somehow it must have jumped timing?

    JD 60 I need help Timing maybe??

    I have a 60 from an estate, hasn't ran for a few years, supposedly drove in the lean to and shut it off. I drained the old gas from tank, sediment bowl and carb. Added new plugs, wires, dist cap, points, and condenser. Turns over and will occasionally do an explosion of a backfire. I've come to...
