    Troubleshooting Hydraulics on 300U

    I have a 300U that we've owned for a while, but the steering has always been a bear, especially with the loader on it. My project for this winter is to pull the hydraulic reservoir cover and rebuild the valves, clean the pickup, etc, but I could use a little help getting my head around the...

    Dimensions for cork pedestal washer on Model A (A1422R)

    Thanks, that should do the trick! I'll make a post on how they turn out once I actually get the cork in.

    Dimensions for cork pedestal washer on Model A (A1422R)

    I'm looking to make some new lower pedestal cork seals for my A's out of some 1/2 cork, but I can't find the dimensions anywhere. Anyone have one on the shelf you'd be kind enough to measure for me? Thanks in advance, Matthew

    Spark Plugs for 1944 JD A

    No pictures until she's completely done, but we're getting there ;) I'll be putting up pictures hopefully by summer with the finished product, and (hopefully) with some original spark plugs! Only thing I'm still trying to deal with is the steel core rad. With it being a 44, it's right in the...

    Spark Plugs for 1944 JD A

    Honestly, we've never had issues with the D16s my grandpa's used over the years. The 8COMs I'm looking for are original 1940s stock, but even more recently, never had a reason to switch so far

    Spark Plugs for 1944 JD A

    I've seen a few turn up on here over the years. Not very often, and often years between, but it can happen! You never know, someone may look in their attic and come across some (I can hope, anyway!)

    Spark Plugs for 1944 JD A

    Yeah, I thought it would be a nice touch to really give an original aesthetic. Plus, it's nice having two piece plugs that you can just take apart and clean when you need to

    Spark Plugs for 1944 JD A

    Hey everyone, Is there anyone out there who can find some new old stock Champion 8ComC or E/S Z19 spark plugs? Would love a pair for my Johnny Popper. Thanks, Matthew

    IH 300U Governor Issues

    I have a feeling I'm about to find out the same thing. I didn't get a chance to get to it last weekend, but something tells me it's going to work a lot better once I flip it over...

    IH 300U Governor Issues

    I agree with both of you too. The throttle arm is a little loose, but it's sloppy at the control lever end, it holds tight when the levee is at idle, so I think that's fine. I'm going to pull the carb and take a look at the throttle plate now.

    IH 300U Governor Issues

    This is the third or fourth time I've checked it now, I'm almost 100% confident I got it in place this time. Once I got it lined up this last time, I held the end of the linkage on top of the governor in place while I clamped everything down and then tried pulling it out to see if it fell out...

    IH 300U Governor Issues

    Hi everyone I'm out of ideas here, so hopefully I can get some guidance form all of you. Over the winter, the carb on my 300U got rebuilt, and since then I have no throttle control. I took the whole linkage apart between the governor and the carb a couple days ago and made sure the linkage...

    Buying a Twin City 28x48 Threshing Machine

    Aw, that's too bad. I seem to remember that being an issue when I first joined the forum too. Thanks for the help though! I'll be sure to add pictures when I'm bringing her home. I think it'll be fairly straightf forward to get the hitch fixed up for the 10 mile ride home, anyway.

    Buying a Twin City 28x48 Threshing Machine

    It's actually still sitting in the yard of the guy I bought it from. Being the end of summer, I've been busy fixing up equipment and sheds, but we've been going out there to get things ready to move. Would you be able to post/email a picture of the hitch and crossbar on yours? The one on this...

    Buying a Twin City 28x48 Threshing Machine

    Thanks for the help in deciding folks. I am now the proud owner of a TC thresher. Now I just need to get it home. Does anybody have suggestions on where to look for manuals? Parts or operators?
