Different style drawbar bracket
My father's NAA had this style bracket when he bought it years ago, I have always wondered what did the rest of the drawback that went with it look like? Seems the pivot would be way too far back unless it was actually supposed to mount way up under the transmission and have a really long...- markct

Trailer lug nuts - oil or dry?
Thanks to everyone, for your input and sharing your time proven experience. By the way, I went with a light film of Permatex anti-seize paste. For what it's worth, I decided to do a second trailer as well because the new hubs I found (Ultra-Tow, Ultra-Pack from Northern Tool) feature a... -

Trailer lug nuts - oil or dry?
I have heard that you should never oil the threads on wheel lugs because they might loosen up in use. This might be just an old wives tale without any basis in fact. A couple of days ago I tried to pull off a wheel on a snowmobile trailer to fix a flat tire and ended up having to replace the... -

Float valve seat driver
I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Where can I get it? -

Float valve seat driver
I'm finally tackling one of my flooding carburetors, which has just been rebuilt by a FNH dealer and floods at rest. It's an 80 mile round trip to the dealer and I brought it back once and he couldn't find anything wrong - re installed it - same thing, so I'm going to track down the problem... -

860 fuel leak
Maybe my wordy description of the problem buried the fact that it's the "correct" FNH o-ring that was in there from the original valve replacement a few years ago. The replacement o-ring also cam from FNH and looks identical to the original. I just tried the larger one out of desperation... -

sweating copper pipe
I'm not a plumber either but I've soldered a lot of joints. It sounds like you didn't get the joint hot enough before trying to remove the copper pipe (which is quite soft hot or cold). The valve and pipe would absorb quite a bit of heat before reaching the temperature needed to melt the old... -

860 fuel leak
I had replaced a tank valve several years ago because the shut off head was broken when I acquired the tractor. Recently I noticed a very slow leak from that area under the tank. I removed the hood and tank and took off the valve. The first thing I noticed was the skinny o-ring had swelled... -

225 Lincoln AC vs. Miller AEAD 200LE DC 100%duty cycle
For what it's worth, you've mentioned "duty cycle" several times and I may be restating the obvious to you but a 20% duty cycle means that out of every minute you can weld for 12 seconds. The remaining 48 seconds the coil needs to cool down. This is for full power output. I haven't seen a... -

HF 800 watt gen
I tried my 1000 watt invert-er on a Remington electric pole saw that I believe draws 600 watts. It didn't even budge. Like the other poster said motors are different (heavy inductive starting draw) as opposed to a constant resistance load like an incandescent light. I ended up having to haul... -

massey ferguson 65
I don't consider myself an expert, but I have three Fords, an 8N, a 640 and an 860. I also have a MF 65 Diesel and a MF 283, which is also a Perkins diesel. The Masseys are absolutely the most reliable of the bunch. All three Fords are in my shop in various states of disrepair. The 8N oil...- rbortnem

MF65 solenoid availability
It is likely that your problem is something other than your solenoid. The big click you hear is the solenoid coil slamming the contacts together, which is what it is supposed to do. Turn your headlights on and have someone watch them when you try to start the tractor. If they dim way down...- rbortnem

Another round stock drilling question
Yes, I can follow you. Thanks. I think I'll weld up some vee blocks for future use. The shafts I'm working on are from a Rest-o-ride seat from a Ford Tractor and are kind of "Z" shaped only with right angles, so it's going to be awkward to use any jig. I'm going to try a lot of heat and a... -

Another round stock drilling question
I appreciated all of the suggestions for locating the center on round stock in the previous post. I need some tips on the best way to drill out frozen pins in round shafts. The starting point is obvious in this case but it seems tricky to make sure the original hole is vertical before you drill. -

Ford electrical quick disconnect wire ends
Thank you all very much for your thoughtful suggestions. I just ran across cord sets such as Jason suggested at Fleet Farm in the trailer wiring section. I have always seen the common 4 wire flat connector but this is the first time I've noticed a 2 wire. They are 12" long and have mating...
