    W6 transmission woes

    Friends - I'm working on my father-in-law's W6. Put new rubber on it, replaced rear axle seals and a whole host of other things. I went to put the rear wheels back on and was going to turn the wheel to line up the rim blocks with the slot on the hub and I couldn't get the dang thing to turn...

    Farmall M 12V generator conversion project

    Since "any suggestions are welcome", IMO the easiest way to do this is to tear everything out and start fresh with new switches, a Hitachi internally regulated alternator (not a single wire), new wiring, new coil and a diode to prevent current backflow. I've done this on four tractors now (Super...

    W 6 Rear Axle issues

    I'm working on a 1951 W 6. Wanted to change the rear axle seals since each side was leaking after I flushed and refilled the rear end. Right side housing came off very easy. Removed the bolts and the axle collar and cast iron bearing cover slid right off. Other side I can't get the thing to...

    Is A W6 Rear End Housing Same As A M

    They are not the same. Quite different animals from the engine on back.

    Need two single point spears.

    I have a one point tool bar that I could part with. If you have an email address, I can send you a picture of it. Jay

    Ready for Plow Day

    Is that the one on the 28th of August? I"ll be there too. I think we"re gonna bring a 70, a little genius and a 311 fast hitch.

    Thanks!

    I"ve always considered myself an electrical idiot, might still be but anyway... I wanted to say thanks to all of you who have provided answers over the last few years on 12 volt conversions. I just rewired four tractors on 12 volt conversion with alternators. I didn"t have to post a single...

    OT- rural US MAIL box protection

    I'd love to ambush whomever it is...if I ever get that lucky with my timing, I might be tempted....but I'm sure I'd get just as much satisfaction in confronting them Gran Torino style.

    OT- rural US MAIL box protection

    Anyone have a good plan for protecting your mailbox from the lil rascals that seem to think it's just hilarious to beat them beyond use? I'm thinking of fabricating a rebar "cage" more or less that my new mailbox would fit in. It'd be lightweight enough to allow it to swing on the stand that I...

    My $5.00 1950 Farmall M

    Here's the 1950 M that I won at Pioneer Days in Albany, MN this year. Just last year as my brother and I plunked down the $5.00 for tickets, we wondered aloud whether anyone actually wins these things. A couple of weeks ago I got the call that I was indeed the grand prize winner of this...

    Chain up my cub

    Do you have wheel weights? I got by without chains so long as I had the weight and proper tire pressure. Was able to plow up hill without slippage.

    Janicholson - Pioneer Days Pics

    I sure feel lucky. Never won anything in my life before this! I was kind of lamenting the fact that I sold my 53 Super M and my 1940 B this summer so I could justify buying a Bobcat Compact Tractor to move snow and cut grass. I missed the SM this fall when it came time to plow and disc! Funny...

    Janicholson - Pioneer Days Pics

    I don't think they paraded it. Pretty sure they kept all those in the main building out of the parade. But thanks for the response! I'll post some pics when I get it.

    Janicholson - Pioneer Days Pics

    I know...isn't that just unreal? I still can't believe it. Hoping that it's not a big joke on me. I'll post some pictures when I get it. MN-Dak IHCC Chap 26 holds the raffle every year. I always throw a few bucks into it. I can't remember them having anything bigger than an A for the longest...
