    TO-30 Oil Change

    When I was young and gramps had the IH Dealership, he also carried Mobil products, and had the lime spreading operation and the farms that worked out of the home shop. There were always two drums of oil in there, 20-20W for the pickups and cars, and 30W Delvac for everything else. REO's...

    Brake Drum Puller

    It refers to "two horses", using France's strange rating system. Actual "horsepower" by conventional ratings was said to be around 9 hp

    Utility Trailer Brake Battery

    When I first got my Fruehauf deckover tilt, all the lights were very erratic, going out, flashing, even kicking the deck would make them all flash on and off. I was tracking down the grounds, all good thru the base frame, but couldn't find a dedicated ground between the base frame and the deck...

    Utility Trailer Brake Battery

    My buddy has been charging the 24F battery in his dump trailer with the charging wire from his pickup, and using that battery to also service the breakaway. I asked him if he was disconnected the umbilical before raising the dump, he says no. I asked if he was blowing the fuse in the charging...

    Battery Chargers...

    I have a big wheeled charger that I haven't used in a couple years, as I prefer slow charging when possible. Have about a half-dozen small chargers, including 2 Schumachers with 2 and 10 amp settings, several Schauers, and an old Monkey Wards that does 6V and 12V very well. A couple NOCO Genius...

    Milwaukee Sawzalls - corded vs battery

    I have a whole fleet of the 20V MAX DeWalt stuff, started with a brushless 3/8 drill that came with a charger and 2 2AH batteries that still work after about 10 yrs. 6-1/2" circular saw that is excellent when you're up in the rafters of just light work, cutting up old pallets etc. The star is...

    Interesting things you have, or had in the past on your place

    A commercial painting friend had a similar one, a flathead Ford V8 with every other cylinder pumping

    Interesting things you have, or had in the past on your place

    I used to have a 1928 Indian Model 401, the first four-cylinder Indian. Indian bought out Ace when they went broke, so there was actually a 1927 model, but it was just an Ace Four with an extra Indian decal on the tank- it had both Indian and Ace decals. The 401 had an actual Indian frame...

    806 plowing video....

    That's the same type "steerable" plow we used to pull with our 706D's. Once, one of "the boys" parked it out back and neglected to grease up the moldboards- guess who got the job of getting the rust off them...
