    Farmall H Fan drive pulley

    Yes the lower pulley on the crank. I thought a book I had called it a fan drive pulley. I could be mistaken. Thanks, with the pulley keyed I shouldn t have to worry about messing up that timing. Follow up question since I misplaced my manual. How does that belt tighten? Is it something...

    Farmall H Fan drive pulley

    Two questions: To replace this does the front of the tractor need to be dropped? Why does the pulley have timing marks? The cam is geared on the crank, right? Thanks.

    David Bradley Question

    Before I went to bed last night I was looking on YouTube and found a helpful video. Sounds like they built a lot of these David bradley s because the guy was saying not to spend too much time dinking around with one that looks like a "parts tractor". Thanks the feedback has been helpful.

    David Bradley Question

    Not too cynical in my opinion. I don t know much about this little machine which is why I m looking for advice. I might just keep watching for a nicer one to show near by. I just wanted something to turn over the garden so I don t have to keep borrowing my aunts rototiller.

    David Bradley Question

    What s your take on this? I don t know much about the David Bradley short of it missing a hood and the tires look wrong. https://appleton.craigslist.org/grd/d/hancock-david-bradley-walk-behind/6904915605.html

    Farmall H Compression

    I re-ran the test and all were 75-80. I did not have a chance to check the clearances under the valve cover. Still wondering how easy that is if you can t use the hand crank to advance it. My dad would say "it starts easy, it does what we want it to, it s good". I think this might be...

    Farmall H Compression

    That sounds right, I m know that number is in the manual. I ve been wondering how easy that is to check because I m pretty sure my hand crank is froze up.

    Farmall H - New Plugs

    I bought a points kit for my H and it had new 386 plugs in it. Well I snapped one, I think it s because the knuckle levered on the alt bracket and twisted the socket. Anyhow since I ve got no brand loyalty I was looking up AL s website for their suggestion and I see it calls for 3116. It was...

    Farmall H Compression

    Thanks I ll retest this coming weekend. I don t live on the property where it s kept. When you say warm should it be on the Run indicator of the thermostat? Also would it affect anything if the throttle is above half? Because I know it didn t have that up. Habit is to short it at low idle. I...

    Farmall H Compression

    So I have an H. I believe it s gas because it looks like a standard manifold and only one tank but the carb and hood do look like they re off a distillate. I got 75-55-55-55; back to front. I m wondering if I did the test wrong. I think we only wound it twice. It runs fair and doesn t smoke...

    McCormick 31 - H/M Loader

    I was wondering something about my loader. In the manual it shows the no31 loader with a foot on each side. I assume it s for the extra leverage for pulling fence posts and stuff. The one I bought didn t have them and none of the pictures I ve found had them in either. Was there some reason...

    Paint - High Temp

    Because the average engine block runs 195-220 degrees and the paint I buy says it withstands 200. I think these numbers are just a bit too close for my comfort.

    Paint - High Temp

    Wait really? You can paint the block for example without the paint burning off?

    Paint - High Temp

    So I have a Farmall H I'm doing misc work on and I've been repainting parts as I work on it. Since IH seems to paint over 90% of their tractors red, this includes the engine parts. I was wondering where I should look for the correct color of red to resist the engine temps. (I wish they did...

    Part Interchangeability - OS4 + H

    Awesome thanks for the help. Btw I didn’t notice that about the steering. One day I’d like to add an OS4 to my collection. I like the lines on them.
