    To add to how things have changed

    In addition to this, I’ve had the experience of spending a few 8 hour days packing on a David Brown 1200. I learned my lesson the first day after I wound up with sunburnt arms. Needless to say I wore long sleeves the next few days. Despite the sun protection, I was hot, caked in dust and left...

    To add to how things have changed

    I used to work on a local dairy farm years ago. I remember on a few occasions the weather was just awful and yet the old boy who owned the place (he was in his late 70’s) would always opt for the open station White 2-70 Field Boss when spreading manure. The kids and hired hands jumped in the cab...

    Rare MM G940

    Ok, interesting. I have never been able to decipher what was what exactly with this generation of MM, Oliver or Cockshutt. Nice tractor.

    Rare MM G940

    What Oliver or Cockshutt model was this equivalent to? I ran a Cockshutt 1850 on a local farm years ago.

    Wanted Moline Universal Parts (Two Cylinder)

    This might be a long shot, but I am after a set of connecting rods and pistons for a two cylinder Moline Universal (Model B or C). I am also seeking governor parts if you’ve got them. Preferably the entire assembly, but will consider individual parts if they are usable. Any leads on these parts...

    GTB Alternator/External Regulator Circuit

    Thank you for the diagram. I saw another one nearly identical to yours except the #2 pin on the Voltage Regulator runs to the R (Stator) on the alternator. Is this exceptable? What is different?

    GTB Alternator/External Regulator Circuit

    That diagram you show with the single wire alternator was the one we were originally working off of. Well probably just stick with the two wire alternator thats on the tractor. Besides the wiring, this tractor is ready to run!

    GTB Alternator/External Regulator Circuit

    Hey folks, were putting the finishing touches on my Fathers GTB and are down to the wiring now. At some point it was converted to a two wire alternator (Delco 10DN) with an external regulator. The wiring was a rats nest so were starting from scratch here. I cant for the life of me find a...

    GTB Timing Gear Case Question

    Our 1952 GTB has a 1" long notch that has been cut out of the timing gear case immediately to the right of the water pump housing and just below the set screw that holds the bushing in place for the accessory shaft. Pictures in our IT Manual show something similar but it is not detailed enough...

    Minneapolis 17-30 carb

    I believe that a Stromberg M3 was common on these early Minneapolis crossmotors, however other makes such as Kingston and Wheeler-Schebler were also utilized. Unfortunately, no serial number records exist for The Minneapolis Threshing Machine Co. and to make matters worse, serial numbers were...

    GTB Crank Jaw/Pin Help

    We have been restoring a 1952 GTB, and have struggled to free the crank pin that passes through the lower radiator tank. The shaft itself appears to be seized inside the bore with 60+ years of rust, dirt, etc. I would like to know how these crank pins are put together, as it appears to be two...

    GTB Reproduction Manifold Question?

    Thank you for all the responses. It is much appreciated. I am convinced the repro exhaust manifold will bolt on with the intake we have. I intend on calling Steiner directly and hear what they have to say.

    Historical Question

    You should get in contact with Tony Thompson. He operates the Twin City website. From what I understand, he interviewed several MSM Co. employees prior to their passing trying to collect as much info about the company as possible. I am not sure if their conversations focused solely on the...

    GTB Reproduction Manifold Question?

    Hello, we are restoring a 1952 GTB and need some help in identifying how the Steiner reproduction intake and exhaust manifolds interchange with the originals found on the model U's and GTB's. Our exhaust manifold is toast but the intake is pristine. Here is some information first: According...

    Help - GTB Axle Housing Removal

    Thank you for the advice. The biggest issue is that the nut is tight and we have very little room to get a wrench on it. We will be at it again today and will figure something out.
