    Farmall 460 Shifter

    Hi, all! My 1959 Farmall 460 gas is stuck in 4th gear. The lower end of the shifter is worn out. I need to know if a new shifter for a Farmall M would work properly in my 460? As I understand both tractors have the same transmission, I"d like to go to the straight shifter lever and not use the...

    rear tractor tire sizing

    We mount rear tractor tires on wider rims for tractor pulling. My Farmall 460 has 15.5x38 tires on 16" rims. This flattens the tire print on the ground utilizing all of the tread bars instead of using a stock size rim and having only the center of the treads bite the track. Note: some pulling...

    OT .22 rifle

    Buy him a Ruger 1022. If you remove the magazine, he can single load his rounds and the rifle will function as a single shot! I don"t know why some men bash an autoloader as a first rifle. My Marlin Model 60 semiauto becomes a single shot if the inner tube is removed from the magazine. I"m...

    OT .22 rifle

    I own a Marlin Model 60 tube fed .22 semiauto. Accurate, affordable and there"s no detachable magazine to forget/lose. The Marlin is reliable and the receiver is grooved for scope mounting. I also own a Ruger 1022. This semiauto is fed by a detachable magazine that fits flush within the firearm...

    Farmall H ?

    Trading sideways? I"m curious as to why you"d want to do that? Usual move is to switch from cast wheels to bolt-on hubs with pressed steel wheels for weight saving. If rust is the problem, switch outer rims. Don

    .410 Shot Gun Recommendations

    Why a .410? It"s a lot easier to download a 20 guage than it is to upload a .410! I own several shotguns in different configurations but they"re all in 12 or 20 guage. My Marlin bolt action 20 guage is the most accurate, just the thing for unwanted barn critters! Shells are a lot cheaper, too. Don

    First time puller

    You ran out of power because you were in 2nd gear! Were you pulling a transfer sled or dead weight? Stock drawbar or custom built hitch? What are the rules where you pulled? We had a gas 656 on our dairy farm for years, gone now. The Farmall 656 is similar in size and power to my Oliver 1600...

    Flashing rear lights?

    Thanks, Donovan for the excellent advice! I'll be using my 1600 on the road some this spring and will get my lighting setup where I want it this summer. I'm going back to Maibach's next week to see if they have a 1650 or 1655 series flasher that I can wire in under my dash to upgrade my 1600...

    Flashing rear lights?

    Flashing light update: I printed out the Ohio Revised Code on the subject. Seems flashing lights are required from DUSK to DAWN to operate on a Ohio public road. I bought a new light switch anyway at Maibach"s (mine is frozen in place from age) but my SMV emblem will keep me legal during...

    Flashing rear lights?

    They've changed Ohio law since I drove my Oliver 1600 on the road. SMV emblem on rear of the tractor is not enough now. Ohio wants flashing warning lights at the outer edges of my flat top fenders! Hmmmm, Oliver didn"t foresee this in 1964. Anyone do this to a Row Crop Oliver? I"m looking for a...

    My cousin Bubba's hot tub party last weekend!

    Funny! I saw the same hot tub picture yesterday in a member"s forum on Plowsite.com. Not original, but still humorous. Don

    Farmall M Pulling

    This smmer will be my 28th year pulling sleds. My advice is do your homework! Attend some pulls where you intend to compete. GET A COPY OF THE RULES! Rules at different places vary. Observe what and how the pullers are using/doing. Ask questions! Most pullers are happy to help out novice...

    16.9x34

    Am planning on stopping by the farm Wednesday where the tires and rims are. I"ll look them over and post info Wednesday evening. I think they"re the Firestone 151"s but I"ll check for sure on Wednesday. I can E-Mail price if your E-Mail is open. Don

    16.9x34

    It depends on the size of your checkbook. Is there a horsepower limit on the class? If not, you"ll always want/need more! If/when you overpower the 16.9"s, I"ve got a good set of yet uncut 18.4x38" on pressed steel I"d sell. Don
