    641 to 12 volt question

    Thanks, I had hoped it would. Yup, on the resistor and reversing the wires on the coil.

    641 to 12 volt question

    My 6 volt battery quit and I feel this is a good time to switch to 12 volt. I have gobs of 10DN's and regulators, so the alternator isn't a problem. A pulley? I can come up with a correct one from somewhere. The solenoid? That is my question. Will the 6 volt solenoid hold up with 12 volts...

    Lawn mower (tractor) maintenance - Anybody else do this?

    That's the best advice I've seen in a long time.

    Old Ford wrench

    I bet it is 5/8 on one end and 11/16 on the other. Henry loved the 7/16 bolts. They had a different one for spark plugs - open end for the plugs.

    Grease suggestions

    To put how they loaded these trucks into perspective for those of you that aren't familiar with the coal buckets - back in the 80's, I would stop at a coal yard at East Bernstadt, KY to put about 10 tons of coal on the back of my 48 foot van trailer. I was going by there empty, and I didn't...

    Don't see these often

    OK, I googled it and pretty much got the scoop.

    Don't see these often

    So, Oliver and Cockshutt had no relationship unit White Motors became involved? Right. They sure were similar tractors earlier on.

    Don't see these often

    Will someone explain the relationship between Oliver and Cockshutt. Right out of high school, I went to work on a farm. (1961) The owner had a Black Hawk Diesel. He called it his big deetsul. I think it had a four cylinder that had the starter pedal on the left side that you pushed with you...

    RACOONS IN THE BARN

    I used marshmellows for bait. Cats don't like them, but coons do.

    Tecumseh HH60 Ignition Cam misalignment

    It is a good idea to stop them by shutting off the gas.

    Heifer to breed cow timeline question

    This is kinda fascinating to me. I'm not a cattle guy, but graduated from Purdue in 1965 with an animal science bs. I don't remember if it was Purdue or some farmer that said that if you breed a heifer to calve at 3 years old, you lose a year on the front, but gain two on at the end. That...

    24D weed killer

    Also, you can pasture it to sheep. They love Canada Thistles. They will keep them eaten to ground level. Or if it would work, plant the the ground to pure alfalfa and make hay. It will crowd them out. Alfalfa it good stuff.

    Valve replacement

    No flaming from here. I did the same thing on my 961. I used a 16 inch flat file though. It's amazing how "unflat" the top of the deck is/was.

    Oddest place you’ve driven farm equipment

    Boy, you're bringing back memories. About 1963, I remember walking down Waldron Street - parallel and a block east of Russell all the way from Stadium to the Life Science Building - AKA Lilly Hall of Life Science Building. I lived at 319 West Oak Street and made the trip often. It was over a...
