    Another thing, what about the oil? When drained it was red in color, looked like ATF.

    John Deere power steering vane seals

    How do you install these? I bought 4 knowing they are difficult to put on. I manage to get one on, but the other 3 broke at the corner. I heated them up with a heat gun and my hot oil cooker to 220 degrees. They seemed stiff, similar to plastic. Ive done these years ago, but the vane was more...

    John Deere A carb on B

    It might run, but thats it, I agree with Robert. We tired running A carb on B tractor for pulling. Could get it started, only way it ran ok was full load on the dyno, and after about a day of screwing around on the dyno, we couldnt gain any hp. I dont recall the carb numbers.

    1953 50 carb rebuild

    Full choke to run at high idle is fuel starvation. Make sure your fuel supply is a good stream out of the bowl, float level too low, main fuel nozzle plugged, without using the correct drill bits theres no way you would be able to make sure those passages are clean.

    Deere 55 Plow Information And Help

    Its a little high in price, too bad they converted it to hydraulic lift, thats where its de-valued. $250 might be worth it. I recently bought a 55H hydraulic lift for $400. It needed the correct coulters, shares and a few other little things. But its a spoke rim style and it fits my vintage of...

    1 other question, the locking tabs for the bolts on the connecting rod are shot, half of them gone anyway. Replace or use some sort of Loctite. Thanks

    TO 30 rod orientation

    Working on a TO 30 and the manual i have is a reproduction so the pictures are not the best. Im trying to find which way the connecting rod faces. The way i read is that oil hole in the rod faces away from the thrust side/cam side of the engine, which seems opposite to me. Arrow on piston...
