    MT Coolant Temp Gauge Probe Location?

    I am rebuilding/repainting an MT. When I took the tractor apart the temperature gauge probe pictured on this post, was disconnected. For the life of me cannot find the location where the probe should go. My educated guess is that an aftermarket part was replaced on the cooling system and no...

    Farmall Steering Wheel Removal

    I am removing an old steering wheel off of a Farmall 560 for a class project. The nut came off, but want to know the best method of removing the steerring wheel itself. Is it threaded on or is it a keyway that would need a pulllers? Any suggestions?

    1951 CA wiring

    I am finishing up a class project with my students and I have wired enough tractors, but this one kindof stumps me. Everytime I connect the wiring from the starter to the Ammeter and then put the wiring box cover together, I get a short and lots of sparks. Everything is grounded including the...

    H Steering bolster gear removal

    What is the best way to free the gear on the top of the steering bolster? I removed the nut, but the gear is tight on the shaft. My goal is to reduce wobble by flipping it around, but I cant get it loose. Thanks in advance.

    Connecting Rod Bolt Question

    A connecting rod bolt snapped (pictured right) on a Farmall H engine. The orginal bolt is in the middle that has a stationary washer attached to it. The replacement bolt I purchased is on the left. The new bolt doesn't have a stationary washer and is slightly longer. My question is does that...

    H brake question

    I have finished up an H project and I am having trouble with a brake band. I have replaced the brake band and the brake band housing. With the brake adjusted as tight as it will go, I still cannot get the brake band to grab the drum with the brake pedal compressed fully. I am wondering what my...

    Read oil seal question on M

    THanks for the reply. The ring (in the foreground of the picture)that also came with seems to be a better fit, but I would have to cut it in 1/2 to install. I'll try to press it is further and then shave off if needed.

    Read oil seal question on M

    I am rebuilding a 1951 Farmall M engine and am installing the rear oil seal. My question is do I need to shave the ends of the seal because they stick above the metal plate (see picture). I have it pressed in the seal groove as far as I can get it. Or do I leave them alone and they will seat...
