    Char Lynn power steering

    I recently bought a complete Char Lynn, power steering for my WD 45. The only thing that didn't come with the system, was the 2 lines, that went to the steering unit. No big deal. Was amazed at how simple it was to install. Even just going by pictures I had. The only thing I'm hesitant to...

    hydraulics and power steering

    I don't have the room for a 2 section pump. So a flow divider would be the way to go for me. If you want to contact me, use my E-mail, which is mrdestiny58 at yahoo.com. Hope to hear from you

    hydraulics and power steering

    I'm interested in maybe the flow divider. Can you explain it more? Pictures would help. With the flow divider, I wouldn't have to run a second pump, and would be cleaner looking, when done.

    hydraulics and power steering

    A friend of mine has his dads old Allis Chalmers WD45. I am doing a bunch of work on it, as he wants to paint it up, but use it once it's done. I'm installing a crank driven hydraulic pump, for live hydraulics to run a front end loader. He also wants power steering, so I located a Char Lynn...

    1066 brake grabbing.

    It was bugging me about the brakes. I know I had adjusted them, per the I T manual. I remembered making a big adjustment, to the brake that was grabbing, so I was looking at it, and it seems, I may have tightened the brake up too tight at the pedal. So I turned the brake adjustment out 2 turns...

    1066 brake grabbing.

    The return springs are new, and I had to order 1 new brake adjuster. So when that came in, I set the other adjustors the same and installed. The snap rings are on also. Will check the brake piston, but after installing brake discs, I did adjust them per the I T manual. When I took the brakes...

    1066 brake grabbing.

    I've got a 1066 Diesel tractor. It does have the traction control on it. I have a problem, with the right side brake grabbing. This is the side, with the traction control. The brakes were working fine, until I put seals in the traction control, and re installed. Since then, the brake has...

    1066 Gremlins

    Well, got to looking real close at the engine. There is no way that I'm going to believe that only 1 cylinder is leaking at the head gasket. Well, upon further inspection, the leak isn't coming from the head gasket, but the rear most fuel injector. After moving the tractor, I started following...

    1066 Gremlins

    Well for 17 bucks, for a couple seals, got the diff lock problem solved. As for the head, I'm going to re torque it, and thinking about adding some block sealer and running it for a while, to see if it stops. Otherwise, it will be a head pull, and check sleeves, and then replace head gasket...

    1066 Gremlins

    I had bought an IH 1066 that had a cab fire. I knew it was going to be a challenge, but when done, would be a darn nice tractor. The cab was junk, so that was removed. The wiring harness was burned, along with gauges, so that was also replaced. Water had gotten in the engine during the fire...

    Farmall 560 Diesel questions

    Everything looks the same in your picture, as this tractor. However, the spring is in place of the clamp for the cable, and another bracket was made for the cable. Thanks for the advice on how long to activate the glow plug button. We were only holding in for about 30 seconds. But sitting in...

    Farmall 560 Diesel questions

    Yes the injector must be in time, as it started. What I was trying to get across, was that, this tractor was a running tractor. It blew a head gasket, and was pulled apart enough to get the head off. Thats how we picked it up. As far as a temp goes, it's inside a shop, heated to around 55...

    Farmall 560 Diesel questions

    Still don't know if there is supposed to be a spring on the fuel shut off lever, but it does remind someone who is running the tractor, that the lever is on, till you need to pull it out, and shut off the fuel. Not saying whose wrong, but tried the glow plugs, and tractor wouldn't start. grey...

    Farmall 560 Diesel questions

    I wasn't sure if it should peg out. I thought that as the glow plugs warmed up, it would start from the right of the gauge, and slowly move to the right, as they warmed up. I did forget to mention, that the push button for the glow plugs, works sluggish. I can push it in, and it will slowly...

    Farmall 560 Diesel questions

    A friend of mine, bought a 560 Diesel. It had the head removed, as the head gasket had blown. We had the Head planed, and checked over, and it is now installed. It had some other issues, which we fixed. There was also some bad wiring that was replaced too. The glow plug meter had been...
