    8011L engine temperature running too cold

    Old mechanical coolant temp gauge was not working. Installed a new one. Engine temp is not getting above 140F while driving around. Thought maybe someone took out the thermostat... no, there's one in there. Ordered a new one anyway. Flushed out the radiator and engine block, put in new coolant...

    IH 1468: what are the gear shift controls?

    Yeah, I think that's what's going on. I got it to shift through all the gears and drive around a bit, but it often gets stuck in a gear, or occasionally in 2 gears like caterpillar guy said, and it's very hard to get it back into neutral. This tractor has lots of different things wrong with it...

    IH 1468: what are the gear shift controls?

    Cool. Is the park lock like a parking pawl in an automatic transmission?

    IH 1468: what are the gear shift controls?

    I'm working on a friend's 1468 that hasn't run in five years. Got it running this morning. But the gear shifters don't seem to work right, and there are no labels so I'm not even sure what they're supposed to do. This is my understanding so far (correct me if I'm wrong): The left lever does...

    Tractor work: what to charge

    I have a Massey Ferguson 30B diesel, and a neighbor has asked if I could do some tractor work for him. What would be a fair price to charge per hour for tractor work?

    Battery size

    Got a MF 30B tractor with Perkins 3.152 diesel. The battery is getting kinda weak in the cold weather, so I want to replace it. The old battery has no group size marking on it, and anyways it's likely not the "right" size; there's enough room for up to a 3 inch longer battery. The funny thing...

    Install a draw bar

    It's a MF 30B. I will look for the holes.

    Install a draw bar

    Can a draw bar be installed on a tractor that doesn't have one? [/img:da43f10375]

    Identifying ballast fluid

    I'm in New Mexico, at high altitude, and it does get pretty stinking cold here. The tractor came from Lubbock, and that place gets cold too. I put the sample in the freezer overnight, and this morning it was a slightly slushy solid.

    Identifying ballast fluid

    Here's a pic of some ballast fluid out of a rear tire. It's slightly yellowish. Can it be determined what type of fluid it is, or if it can be reused? This post was edited by One Sock on 08/20/2021 at 11:14 am.

    Front tire sizes

    Is there a metric equivalent to 11L-16? These tires are a bit hard to find.

    Front tire sizes

    So with the current 11L-16 that means, unless my rims are non-stock, I have much wider tires than the rims are designed for. Is this hurting anything? I'm using the tractor in deep sand, so wider tires for flotation seems good to me.

    Front tire sizes

    I need some new tires for a Massey Ferguson 30B with loader. The current front tires are 11L-16 10 ply. The operator's manual lists front tires as 7.50/8.00-16 6 ply, or 11L-15 8 ply. I'm confused. Are the 11 and the 7.50/8.00 the tread width? And the 15 and 16 the rim diameter? What does the L...

    Hydraulic cylinder repair

    After inspecting the rods myself, the "scratches" are very minor and I'm sure I can smooth them out sufficiently that they won't damage the new seals. Question: is it important to hone the inside of the cylinder tube?

    Hydraulic cylinder repair

    I have an old Massey Ferguson 30B tractor with 34A loader. The loader hydraulic cylinders leak to the point that there will be puddles on the ground if the tractor is sitting in one spot for any length of time. I took the cylinders off, and all the hoses (which were old and deteriorating) and...
