    wc governor

There were green brackets that bolted to each side of the engine to install 2 to 4 55 gallon drums of water for the transplanter. I have been looking for a photo, have not found one. I think I...

    model A 1950 starts when cold, stops when warm

    I"ve scoured the forum to find something like my problem which is that when stone cold the old girls fires up fine. All appears to be well. Ignition timing, spark, carb all seem OK. After running for about 5-10 mins it all goes pear-shaped. Tractor stalls when more power required (load needle...

    sourcing special bolts and screws

    Now that is strange about that 19H442 part no. at the JDParts website. If I go straight to it www.jdparts.com before I login it searches and finds the part fine. If i login first however and then try no joy. I suspect this is a regionalization issue for the website, ie it knows I'm not a US...

    Couldn't see reference on the forum to a discussion about part no. A2961R It's the square head 5/8 UNF bolt (2 1/4" long) used to hold my (late model A) hub to the cast disk wheel. Anyone know where I could get hold of a small number? Also anyone know how I source just two of the 1/2" UNC...
