    WD foot clutch sticks

    My '53 WD has developed a new problem, the foot clutch sticks. It's almost always stuck when I start the tractor, lately I've been putting it in gear and THEN starting the tractor. It jumps a bit then the clutch releases. But even after it's been released you can drive along for a bit, push...

    WD 45 seat

    I've got a WC backrest on my WD. It works fine. Makes the tractor feel a little more secure, like you won't fall off the back. I don't throw my leg over the seat to get on though, I hold onto the backrest with my right hand and sort of slide my right leg over to the right footrest, in front...

    Haybine Math

    All good provided you don't have to go through many gates. I'd have had to rebuild every gate on the place if I had a 9 foot 'bine instead of the 7 footer I got.

    Boy wants a guesstimate on used rakes and bailers

    In my case $500 was the magic number. After looking a long time, (all one fall at least) I found a MF 3 baler at $500, a New Idea belt drive rake for $450 and a New Holland 467 Haybine for $500. I did have to work on the Haybine a bit to get it functional, but the rake and baler worked from...

    Would you make me a list of good bailers

    I've been real happy with my MF 3. I only bale grass hay on small fields for our horses. The 3 is a small simple baler, easier to move around, doesn't take much power to run. The manual claims only 15 hp needed, and I believe it, the built in slip clutch won't let you apply much power. I...

    NH460 may have cut its last blade of hay

    My 467 was doing that when I first got it, I determined what was wrong was the upper roller wasn"t sitting all the way down. The right end was down on the stop, so I had good mesh on the rollers on that end, but the left end had about 1 1/2" gap between the rollers. It would not cut grass hay...

    Ford 340 power steering

    I'm looking for suggestions to stop a reoccurring leak at the gasket for the power steering in my 1979 Ford 340 Industrial tractor. I've replaced the gasket under the oval cover on the steering at least 7 times in the 12 years I've owned the tractor. I've torqued the bolts that hold the...

    The mower deck didn't drag too much while running that drag? It only takes 2 minutes to drop the deck on that tractor!

    Ford 340 Parts

    What's wrong with your steering that you think you need a different steering box? I took the single arm power steering column off and all apart from my 1979 340 tractor last year only to find there was nothing wrong with it. I had no power steering, and since my tractor has a history of...

    NH469 haybine reel chain adjustment

    On my 467 the big reel sprocket mounts on a bracket that has a rectangular plate welded on the inner end. That plate pivots on the big pin that the upper roll swings on. There are 2 slots in the rectangular plate with 1/2" carriage bolts through them. You loosen the 3/4" nuts on the bolts...

    New Idea Model 405

    Try www.jdv-belts.com The part number is CC136, they are showing a price of $68.00. I haven't bought rake belts from these guys but I did buy belts for my Haybine from them, no complaints, reasonable prices. FYI th Agco part number for that belt is 400875.

    NH469 haybine reel chain adjustment

    On my 467, the big sprocket is mounted on an eccentric. You loosen the mounting bolts for the sprocket bracket and rotate the bracket to tighten or loosen the chain. I"d bet the 469 is similar.

Basically it"s an industrial version of the 3 cylinder Ford 3000, with a heavier, non adjustable front axle, factory...

    NH 467 roller tension

    My New Holland 467 Haybine suffers from stuck torsion bars, from what I read it"s a common problem. Does anybody have any tips on how to free it up? I"ve recently removed the links between the upper roller brackets and the torsion bar arms. At least now the upper roller is sitting down on the...

    467 newholland haybine roller adjustment

    On the right side of the "bine, down near the cutter bar is a bolt head that when tightened is SUPPOSED to tension the rollers. But if your machine is like mine, you"ll find the torsion bars are rusted stuck in the plastic bushings in the frame and the tensioning mechanism is stuck also. It...
