    Tractor Sale Gone Sour. What Would You Do?

    Business is Business. The worst thing I've done is business with friends or family. That being said... he knew his situation when he entered into a contract with you. If he rent-to-own a house, then 2 years in changes his mind, does he get his $ back? During this time anyone who wanted the...

    Farmall H front tires

    I make it a point not to work on wet ground if avoidable. My dad taught me a long time ago to throttle down before turning. Actually, throttle down After turning the wheel. It takes getting used to, but it saves brakes and works well. The front seems to respond better at slow speed. I...

    WD-9 won't run on diesel

    I wasn't clear. I said we, but I was using the Royal We. I worked for the earth moving company. Everyone hated the water filled rubber tire roller, it felt like you were gonna capsize any second. As it ran away the operator, another kid like me, jumped off and it ran into a dirt bank. I...

    WD-9 won't run on diesel

    In the 80's we had a rubber tire roller for road work with a 3 cylinder diesel motor. it ran low on fuel and a guy grabbed the wrong 5 gallon can (they were all red) of gas and filled it up. It ran fine about the first 5 minutes then ran WIDE OPEN for the rest of its life...about 5 more...

    T A adjustment on Farmall 300

    Just replying so I can find this post when needed. Perhaps all my 450 T/A needs is adjusting per Janicholson. That would be great.

    What rim do I need. 1948 W9

    I agree with breaking the bead, cleaning up the rust and see what you have. Dad bought a JD A sitting in a field so long the exhaust manifold had rusted out from rain! We got it home and cleaned up the tires and plowed 12 acres of creek bottom for the next 9 years. The same tires were on it...

    if necessity is the mother of invention,

    If someone ever uses a metal detector around our farm they will find LOTS of tools my Brother threw in a fit of anger. He did this after the cussing ended, usually before kicking something harder than his foot. The preacher came over one day to ask JR to change out a fuel pump. He and Dad...

    H stuck in gear

    A guy I know has a gas H and he said it is stuck in 2nd gear. He has a flip phone and not PC savvy, so I said I'd ask the guys on here what possibly is wrong with it. Someone told him the PTO is keeping it in gear, that don't sound right to me. I tried to get more info from him, it was cold...

    Carb questions for a Gas 450

    Gene, None of the gas ran out, thats why I'm concerned the needle stuck. I'm gonna drain the gas and use it for burning brush, and add seafoam to 5 gallons of fresh and see what happens. Thanks everyone.
