    Grain drill for Farmall S-MTA

    The small grass seed box on the McCormick 10 always worked very well for us with clover and timothy seed. If you ever want to try a dirty job, try combining clover for seed with an open station combine. We used to do it with our 93, using the bin and a grain sack under the ScourKleen outlet. If...

    Grain drill for Farmall S-MTA

    We had the McCormick 10 that gramps got from his dealership in the late 50's, and considering the large amount of used engine oil we always had from the lime spreaders, truck fleet and farm equipment, it stayed in great shape. We would coat everything when putting it away, and always kept a...

    New crank pulley from Steiner muucchh too tight, won't go on 1941 Ford 9n on initial try

    Any machine/speed shop that does performance stuff deals with this all the time- a lot of the replacement pulleys and dampeners these days come from the land of almost right and will tend be be on the tight side of tolerances. If you don't have the correct measuring tools, find someone who does...

    4010 24V SYSTEM

    There is a Delco 24V single wire alternator that is similar to the common 10SI 12V deal, I have one on my Case 680E

    My NEW 1952? Farmall M with Lion Front Loader

    I have an N Ford type loader, maybe a Modern? that has a similar bucket, there's another part that just bolts on to complete the bucket, unbolts to become a dozer

    Alternator conversion for a 3414

    Thanks- I just went out and looked again, there's a little more room than I thought, but still not a lot. I need to spend the effort to get the hood off, takes a little work on a 3414. Should be pretty accessible from the top. I think even a Ford G1 alternator is a little smaller than the 10SI...

    Alternator conversion for a 3414

    Has anyone done an alternator conversion on a 3414 Diesel? There is not a kit from the site for that one, and the generator is mounted up inside the loader frame, kinda tight in there. This one had its battery hooked up backwards from PO and is boogered, did not come back after re-polarizing...

    Trailer wiring

    I have learned to just unplug the trailer connector when running a winch or dump trailer pump. It will try to pull power from the truck thru the charging wire and blow the fuse

    How would one vacuum out a diesel fuel tank?

    If you can get down to the outlet of the tank, you can rig up a loop of fuel line, through a big plastic filter then to an electric pump, then run the line back into the tank and let it run, swishing the return line around. When the filter gets pretty full, replace it with a new one, repeat...

    Big shoulders to turn a M

    The dairy farmer we used to partner with on hay and oats had a 3020 gasser that we took great joy in embarrassing with out 706D's whenever we could. He had 3 big 10 ft wide 4-wheel hay wagons with the big racks for his kicker baler. So we let him hook up to one with a 706 and haul it over to the...

    Changing oil

    I just had to make a couple road trips with the '01 F350 7.3 4x4 dually, so just before I did a service, oil n filter, put the big air filter back on, and rotated tires etc. I picked it up with the forklift by the trailer hitch, pulled the outside duals off and put half the lugs bck on, sat it...

    International T340 Capabilities

    One thing to consider if you want to grade roads- if you don't have good track loader skills, better to get a small dozer. You can make a pretty good mess with a track loader if you don't know the tricks

    O.K. I give up.

    There used to be a local infamous watering hole & grille that a group of about half a dozen of us tended to hit after work to unwind, where we were known as "The EOB"- End Of the Bar gang. We had an (un)official rule, no ties in the bar- and you would get a warning and chance to take it off. We...

    6V vs 12V problems tally sheet

    Bingo. And I can now keep one spare solenoid for all my Ford stuff, and a Mopar ballast resister that will work on almost anything

    6V vs 12V problems tally sheet

    Yep, purist vs practical. I switched my 8N and 850- the 850 had been boogered by the previous owner running it 12V neg when it was still 6V pos, so needed work anyway. The original system on the '50 8N quit charging, so needed work. I did both the same way, 12V alt kits from this site, with my...
