    Old 15W-40 oil

    I have a 5 gallon can of 15W-40 diesel oil that has been in my shop for a long time--perhaps 20 years. I was pouring some out tonight to top off the oil in my IH 1206, and noticed there were some globs of stuff about the consistency of snot in it. Has anyone encountered this before? If I ran...

    Farmall M hydraulic problem

    It is a ONE hose setup. I did finally get it to work. I unhooked the control rod, then pushed the lever further to see if that would make a difference.. When the lever was pointed all the way to the ground, it allowed the planter to drop. I ended up taking the lever off, then reattaching it...

    Farmall M hydraulic problem

    Original Lift-all, as far as I can tell. It is operated by the pull lever on the right side of the tractor. The rest knob on the pull lever is what keeps the unit raised.

    Farmall M hydraulic problem

    I tried using the hydraulics on my M to lift up my corn planter, and have run into a problem. It lifts just fine, but even if you depress the lever all the way it will not let the machine go down. I do not know much about hydraulic systems. I assume it is a malfunctioning valve somewhere...

    VAC Case sparkplug cover

    I'm looking for the spark plug shield/cover that came on the VAC Case. It appears most farmers took them off when they changed a pug, and never put it back on. I've been searching parts flea markets for a while, but have not seen any. Anyone know of a source?

    ZTU Brake Drum Removal

    I finally got it off. I do appreciate all the suggestions. I heated and pounded and pried a number of times; not much movement. I eventually took a wrecking bar and pried pretty hard. It did not come off, but I braced the wrecking bar against a long bolt I screwed into one of the holes on...

    ZTU Brake Drum Removal

    I am trying to restore a ZTU, and the right brake is frozen so the right rear tire cannot turn. I have been trying to get the drum off without success. Have heated it and pounded and pried on it. Anyone have any advice, or know of any trick or tool to get it off?

    IH 715 Combine engine issue

    I have an IH 715 diesel combine. It starts good, and runs well FOR A WHILE. After 10 to 15 minutes of combining, it starts running a little rough, the ideals down to the point you can't thresh. If I turn it off and wait 10 minutes, it starts and runs fine again before repeating the same...

    M602 Starting Issue

    I have a M602 that I really like, but there is one issue with it. It is kind of a hard starter. It is a gas, not a diesel;. You have to crank it over for quite a while before it fires, and initially there is some black smoke as if it was flooded. The hard starting is only on issue when it...

    "Banana" weights

    I recently picked up a couple MM "Banana" weights at an auction. They are genuine, as they have MM part numbers on them. My question about what color they should be. Although they have some rust on them, it looks like they were painted WHITE at some time. Are they supposed to be white, or...
