    Steering Box Adjustment

    Thanks, everyone. This is starting to look more like a winter project than I was hoping for. Oh well.

    Steering Box Adjustment

    Hi, everyone. I have a 1960 530 with mechanical steering (the casting number on the steering box is G1055). The steering has considerable play (about 120 degrees at the steering wheel). Is there any adjustment on the steering box?

    Track Orientation

    Thanks Jim. I thought that might be the case. I'm going to be using it fairly hard so I think that I'll have to bite the bullet and turn the right hand track around.

    Track Orientation

    I have a '73 450B loader with open-center 3-bar shoes (P/N T75588). On the left side, the shoes are oriented so that the leading edge of the shoe is at the forward end (as viewed from the top) but the right side has the leading edge at the rear end. Which orientation is correct? Also, and more...

    Case 530 / G159 Ignition Timing

    Nope. I have a tiny set of water pump pliers (about 5" long) and I can't even get those in there, at least not in any way that I can get a grip on them.

    Case 530 / G159 Ignition Timing

    Thanks for that, Joe. The first problem is that the space in way of the distributor is so limited that I can't get my camera close enough to take a photo from a better angle (my 530 has a Model 31 loader fitted, so it's not open on the side like an Ag tractor). As for the bracket, the bracket...

    Case 530 / G159 Ignition Timing

    Well, I managed to get the Pertronix module installed ('Thank You' to all who provided advice in this regard). The installation instructions include the warning that 'the Ignitor can move the timing as much as 10°' and apparently they're correct, as my timing is now so advanced that the engine...

    Case 530 Pertronix module

    So I bought the 1541 igniter and the instructions say to remove the points plate however, the points plate appears to be a cup rather than a plate that is press-fitted into the distributor body. Can anyone tell me ho to get the plate out?

    Hi. Does anyone know which Pertronix electronic ignition module fits the G159 engine. The distributor is a Prestolite IAD-6003-2F. Any information will be appreciated.

    450B Transmission Temperature

    Thanks, Jim.ME!

    450B Transmission Temperature

    Well, I managed to locate the trans. temp. sender (it's located on the plate that covers the screen on the RH side of the trans., if anyone's interested) and connected it to the gauge. Either the gauge is faulty or the sender is. Can anyone suggest how I test either of these units? Failing that...

    One thing that I know that I need is a fuel filter body.
