    TO-30 Stuck Clutch Questions

    Jim, thanks for the help. Will be working on this issue this week, and will post what the result was on how I fixed the issued. Now that the weather here has finally changed for the better (miserable cold long winter followed by a miserable cold wet Spring) I can finally get outside and work...

    TO-30 Stuck Clutch Questions

    My TO-30 has been my go to tractor for past 3 years, never any issue. Today went to use it after sitting for about 1 month and clutch is stuck. Pedal has the same resistance as usual, but will not disengage from flywheel. Someone had mentioned on-line that there is a clutch inspection plate...

    What Brand Vintage Belly Sickle Mower logo is "M" inside a Trapezoid?

    There is a vintage red belly sickle mower for sale near me (sorry no photos yet). It uses the original size pto shaft, I think these were 1 1/8". There is no data plate on it but for a manufacturers logo it does have a capital M inside a Trapezoid, and I have no idea what brand mower this is...

    How to Correctly Measure for a Backhoe Manual Thumb.

    Thanks all, I come away from this thinking that there is no one right answer, and as Jim suggests, I will abide by the recommendations of the particular manufacturer I buy from. Have never heard of an articulated thumb, that is worth looking at although I have not seen one as yet. It always...

    How to Correctly Measure for a Backhoe Manual Thumb.

    This is my first backhoe and I am a true amateur. Research on-line- there seems to be two different ways to measure for correct thumb length. The first way, with the teeth on the ground like in my picture, I measure 36 inches. However, some people measure with the top of the bucket at 90...

    1964 4140 HD Industrial Finally Done!

    No, this second lever is the Sherman Reversing Gear, which were commonly installed on the industrials that came with the FEL and hydraulic package. Also this one has no pto or 3pt because it was provided with the original Ford Back Hoe.

    1964 4140 HD Industrial Finally Done!

    No filter. If you are referring to why the yellow in the photos look greenish, that is because when I edited the photos to increase sharpness and lighting, the edits changed the yellow color to a greenish tint. The actual color is a true yellow. For me here on the Maine Coast, Paint is more...

    4140 power steering valve markings

    Firstly, the single greatest problem everyone seems to have with this period tractor is with the power steering. Almost everyone has to assemble and then disassemble and then reassemble the power steering components 3 or more times before getting it right, and we do it so many times that we...

    4140 power steering valve markings

    Actually I have a now vague memory that it no longer matters on these 3 hole valves. They were used originally as anti-cavitation devices and were supposed to go into the hole closest to the incoming pressure line. However, as I recall, the design of the 3 hole valve no longer required an anti...

    4140 power steering valve markings

    The interior ring on the central valve always goes DOWN. I had the same issue regarding the anti cav pistons. Not sure what you mean by an extra fitting, I presume this just goes from the hose end to the valve port. You should be able to easily determine which hose goes where, two of the...

    4140 power steering valve markings

    Thought I was done with full resto on the 1964 HD Industrial 4140, got the new PS lines installed with new fittings and no leaks at the fitting. BUT, I had fluid coming out top of steering column (not a super rare problem). Lots to read in the archives, so I will replace the upper oil seal and...

    Removal of Gland V Packing - Need Help.

    The third photo gives the other side of the gland as requested. I think both of you make perfect sense, since I am going to replace the vee packing, I do not mind destroying those, and you are exactly right, that will give me the backside purchase for inserting the legs of a puller to get the...
