    Plastic Oil Pan

    There is a local dealership replacing a bunch of oil pans because their lube techs were using small impact drivers to tighten oil drain plugs. They were stripping the threads on some and others couldn't get the drain plugs loose at the next oil change.

    Tie rods for Allis Chalmers D14

    I can't see tie rods making a tractor steer hard. If it was dry spindles or thrust bearings it should have steered hard before the new tie rods. I would guess toe is not set correctly.

    Patching a HDPE water tank

    I have used JB Water Weld on plastic. So far it has held for a couple of years. I also used it on a tractor radiator where a hose clamp on the hydraulic cooler rubbed through a core tube. That has been on there for about 3 years and so far not leaking.

    3 point pin for a JD 709

    I don't suppose it would be hard to make one. Buy a bolt the appropriate length, cut off the head, weld a flange at the right place, drill a hole for the pin and grind the end to a slight taper to make it easier for the arm to slide on. Or pay Mother Deere for the part.

    Old Shop Tricks

    Didja notice that all of the cars looked a little "off"? Like the round tail lights in the place where the rectangular or oval 67 impala lights would have gone. Or the 69/70 Chevy pickup with the late 50s IH pickup body line on the front fenders. As the disclaimer that accompanies most AI "news"...

    1987 Ford F 350 Transmission

    I've had a few older granny gear 4 speeds that I'd have to give a couple of stabs with the shifter or slip the clutch a bit to get the non-synchronized square cut gears lined up for reverse. But not a lot of tries. 2 or 3. Never owned a Ford so couldn't say if it might be common on them.

    What socket for 1010 Hydraulic pump?

    Yup, plain old 12 point socket. There's no such thing as a 12 point external Torx socket. 12 point external are either regular or spline drive. Internal 12 points are commonly called triple square. Torx are Torx, whether internal or external they are 6 point.

    Best Budget Friendly Digital Torque Wrench

    We have a tool distributor, Acme Tools, (I don't think it has anything to do with Wyle E. Coyote!) That sells both the Gearwrench and DeWalt brand digital torque wrenches. They are a reputable tool distributor, they sell some high end brands. I wouldn't think they would sell junk.

    Best Budget Friendly Digital Torque Wrench

    One day I was at a friend's house, in the 80s. His dad was bolting down heads on his Minnie Mo. We asked where his torque wrench was. He said "I have a torque wrench in my elbow! Can't you hear it click?" He ran that G900 for many years after that. I can't remember if it was diesel or propane...

    Best Budget Friendly Digital Torque Wrench

    DeWalt and Gearwrwench both make digital torque wrenches in the $200-$250 range. I have never used one and don't know anything about them but the price sounds reasonable. I have my Snap-On digital but they are over $500 used. I don't remember what I paid for mine new, but I think it was around...

    1988/89 Case 1835c

    I'd snatch that up in a heartbeat at that price, especially since you know the machine and the owner.

    What happened to pickups??

    I just made myself feel REALLY old! I read your post saying you wouldn't replace your '24 GMC. The first thing that came to MY mind was "WOW! He has a 1924 GMC!?!?!?🤦‍♂️

    What lubricant do you use on linkage

    I can't say I blame you. At the dealership we had to work on them because nobody else would. The worst was when we had to replace a whole assembly. That meant removing the seats and all of the interior trim so we could get the headliner out of the way.

    What lubricant do you use on linkage

    I find the Mac brand of lithium spray from Napa to be utterly useless. It goes on like a foam and all but disappears, leaving no coating to speak of. I like the CRC brand of white lithium spray. It goes on more like a grease and stays put. But I use that in limited areas. Usually on sunroof...
