    641 oil pressure

    Last year my oil pressure gauge stopped working. I didn’t think much about it because it was late in the year. I just got it back out to service, and put a new pressure gauge on it, and noticed I had very low oil pressure. At the pump housing, it is spitting oil, not a steady stream. I’m...

    Ford 601 3-point lift question

    Thanks. I actually have the two different fluids in my tractor that are called for in the manual, so that may be part of the problem, and I can replace them with UTF if needed, but I’m leaning more and more toward the gaskets, seals, o-rings, and/or bypass valve. I watched a video on replacing...

    Ford 601 3-point lift question

    No, I don’t have a hydraulic valve. After digging through info on the internet, I’m starting to think that either the o-rings and piston seals and/or the safety valve needs to be replaced, or that the seal between the transmission and rear end is leaking and allowing the two different fluids...

    Ford 601 3-point lift question

    About 65 degrees. I don’t think temperature was the problem. I’ve run it much colder in the past.

    Ford 601 3-point lift question

    I have a ‘58 Ford 601 that the 3-point lift has always worked fine on until today. I started it up this morning to scrape my driveway, and after I hooked up the scraper blade it would work fine for about 2-3 minutes, but after that it would take a really long time to lift, and would stutter...

    Tractor question that's really about implements

    Thanks all for the replies. The main reason I was looking at these tractors is that I can get the tractor with loader bucket and backhoe for about $20,000 otd, and because I'm not exactly in what you'd call a tractor rich environment. The nearest Non-RuralKing dealer is about 2 1/2 hours away...

    Tractor question that's really about implements

    My wife has me thinking about buying one of the new subcompact tractors from Rural King. 24 HP hydrostatic with 19 HP at the PTO. My question is whether I can run some of my older hay implements with this tractor? I know the horsepower requirements for a Ford 501 3-point sickle mower and a NH...

    Help me identify this Galfre tedder

    I bought this a few years ago, and I d like to know what model it is. Browsing the internet, I can t find any like it. It was painted when I bought it. You can see the outline of the Galfre stickers through the paint, but no information plate.

    NH 268 question

    Thanks for all the input guys. I finally got the needles and twine fingers aligned, and the twine knives are razor sharp. I wanted to check the timing, but the front timing marks are rusted away. [b:03ca79901f]Can I just place the crank is top-dead-center?[/b:03ca79901f] If so, the...

    NH 268 question

    Never Ming guys. I found the answer to the needle/twine finger issue. It might still be a knife issue, but this definitely needs to be fixed.

    NH 268 question

    The under side of the needle is beat up and shiny from rubbing against the metal of the knotter too. Is there a way to adjust the needle?

    NH 268 question

    The right side twine finger is getting hung on the needle. The manual says there should be 1/32 clearance, but I can t find how to adjust it, because the adjustment bolts ( A and B) in the manual don t appear to be on my baler. [/img]

    NH 268 question

    I have a NH 268 that has always bales perfectly. This year, it seems to not cut the string off the right side of the bale sometimes causing the right side string to trail out behind the baler after the bale drops. I have to restring it and it will work for 20 or so bales, then do the same...
