    3000 diesel block in shop- need to order parts!

    I had to bore my 3 cyl gas enging .040 It has done fine in the 10 years or so since the rebuild. Someone had been in there before too. When I pulled the head there wasn't a ridge at the top of the block at all but when I mesaured it boy what a funnel shape it had. .040 barely cleaned it up...

    OT You would think I would get better service??

    Lowes eapecially is pretty much a self serve store anymore. It's hard to even get anyone to help you when in the store. The size of your building just how many of those blue carts would you have to fill & cart out!! On larger construction orders like you need. They'll load all the...

    Need larger steering wheel for Ford 850 tractor.

    from a safety standpoint power steering is the way to go. I understand that your budget may not allow for a new power steering kit. I have ran manual steering tractors & they really aren't bad in the field while moving, pulling implements etc.. It's when you are in close quarters...

    Replace wheel bearing, seals, 1972 3500 Ford

    I Pulled 1 of the axles today. I made a wrench to fit over the axle & fit the nut. I have made drawings in my CAD program to burn out the parts I now need for a puller to remove the Timken wheel bearing. The wheel seals were leaking just enough to oil the brake drum/shoes, but not...

    Paint Worth the Effort?

    I agree, I'd much rather have a machine that has primer patches all over it as opposed to the kind of job the OP has to deal with. 2-3 coats of peeling paint. To directly answer the original question. If I were to check out a backhoe that had good paint & mechanically checks out well...

    Install oil pressure gage

    I agree that the warning light is probably the best attention grabber. especially if something suddenly causes OP to drop. Personally I like both. I like to monitor my gauges, if for nothing else early warning of an impending problem

    Sorry about the dumb questions

    I guess I a bit old school when it comes to spark plugs. If it's a Ford I'd run Autolite or Motorcraft,.... GM A-C Delco,..... Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi, Bosch, etc. I've had bad luck with Champion spark plugs in general I avoid them if at all possible. At one time they may have...

    Replace wheel bearing, seals, 1972 3500 Ford

    The wheel bearing, Timken tapered, is held to the axle with a really fine threaded nut. Aparenty there is a special wrench to reach into the recess to remove the nut? Then my next question is what sort of puller is used to remove the bearing? From looking at the set up on CNH Parts...

    Mastercraft Tires

    I have been running Firestone Transforce AT 10 PR tires. with good success. My dealer also sells Mastercraft & have had good luck running them on my Buick Park Avenue Ultra. My dealer has a good reputation for matching tire he is selling for intended use. I am running the Firestones on...

    How deep do you guys plow??

    It's been many years since I worked on a dairy operation in southwestern VA. I pulled a 7 bottom 16" trailer with a IH 1086 turbo, dual wheel & a full rack of weight on the front 8-10" deep, 3rd hi on TA. have to jerk the TA to low side once in a while as there were a few bands of clay...

    Install oil pressure gage

    I just installed one on a friends 1971 3 cyl gas engine. It is 1/4" NPT located in front of the oil filter & to the rear of the power steering pump, if it has power steering. Cut a hole & dash mount if you wish, I prefer not to modify my sheet metal if I can avoid it. You'll need a...

    Power steering 3000 diesel

    Assuming it's similar to my 3500, Yes it can push or leak fluid to the crankcase. My steering was also very stiff. I bought seals & went through the pump. Stopped the loss of oil but not much improvement in the steering. My assist cylinder was also in horrible shape. Figured it was...
