    BIODiesel ?

    It"s worth browsing round the forum at the link below for a little extra info on making and running Biodiesel. There are several different approaches to the process. I don"t have room to hide a DIY processor but I"ve successfully trialed both my pickup and the car on commercially made B100...

    UK readers... Bettinson dual wheels anyone?

    Hi folks. This is probably a bit of a long shot but I'll give it a try anyway... Does anyone know where to get the weld-on mounting lugs for Bettinson 3-star dual wheels? (the ones that you weld onto the tractors own wheel rim to locate the ends of the mounting legs) I had a contact for...

    What kind of a tool is this?

    It's an engineers ratchet drill (we call them an engineers brace here). What you have is a twist drill for cutting metal with a tapered square shank that fits into the socket. Some of the later ones had a morse taper socket, to allow the use of standard drills (I have a 1935 tool catalogue...

    Attn UK readers: Please help identify...

    Would any of our UK readers be able to shed any light on the identity of this 'ere flail mower? Neither the green nor the grey appear original. Some of the covers have mid blue paint inside them. I was thinking it might be a Kidd or maybe a Wessex? It can be mounted either offset or...

    OT: tellemarketers

    I'm lucky. My cordless phone plays a little tune at the caller when I hit the silent/secrecy button. "Oh yes, I'm very interested... Just excuse me for a moment..." Hit silent and leave them to it. I can usually hang up after a minute or two, although I did get an indian guy on once who lasted...

    international 444

    Old trick for any of the IH BD-series engines... Oil the head stud threads when you reassemble! It'll give you about another 1/6 to 1/4 turn compared to reassembling dry (which ISTR the book tells you to do). It won't hurt anything but will help prevent further head gasket problems, which were...

    L4 Perkins

    Could anyone tell me the power output of an L4 Perkins diesel engine at 1500rpm? Thanks in advance. Cheers, JV.

    Well, I can't believe I did this.............

    Yep, those things have been working well round here for years. They're about the fastest way of handling big quantities of small bales. Don't bother with the stack lifters though, you'll spend more time repairing them than using them. A decent flat bale trailer is easier, cheaper and safer...

    Massey Ferguson 35 diesel-junk????

    They're not totally crap, but they're not as good as the Perkins engined one either. A big part of the starting on the FE-35 engine is the timing chain, which can be prone to stretching leaving the pump timing just a shade out. Also the version of the Standard 23C used in the FE-35 only has one...

    990, rear end noise ???

    DB's do whine when on the move. They have straight cut gears in the final drives, which are outwith the rest of the transmission. If it's getting any louder, change the oil in the final drives. The drain plug is the bottom one on the back of the FD casing. Refill through the top plug until the...

    Who is a zetor?

    Avoid the 4WD Zetors like plague bearing rats... The sealing of the in-house front axle (particularly the reduction unit in the hub) is notoriously weak, many of the secondhand ones that we see here in the UK have buggered axles due to loss of oil. The 4WD swivel pins (kingpins/whatever) are...
