    Bringing up compression

    I saw your video on youtube. I noted that it was trying to run on ether. You have gravity feed to your carburetor since your tank is over the engine...if your system is really tight, the gas will not flow to the carb. Bleed the line to the carb by breaking the line at the fitting (ie...

    Mccormick 76 combine

    As to the Ford combine, I'd just get the engine running...finding a correct pto gear box and drive will be nigh on to impossible. And those little ford engines are EVERYWHERE, and I'll bet you a coke that if you find a decent counterman at a NAPA they have parts for the engine. BTW what engine...

    Changing drum bearings in Reese drum mower

    The best way to get those pods down it to work them back and forth; you may have to hammer on the tail back and forth, but it'll drop as you spin it

    Flat belt-lateral tear patch

    Good job, I have seen old belts fixed that way, and with lacing. On the old ones, however, the rivits were always staggered and not across from each other across the face

    Reese drum Mower

    Had the 8 footer going on twenty years...just had to finally replace the bearings last season...we have gone through three sets of belts. They are bullet and careless help-proof...the only downside is they take power. Not so much to keep mowing, but to get those heavy discs spinning...after...

    JX 70 Case IH stuff is junk

    DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY CASE IH PRODUCTS. Four years ago, I decided to buy myself a nice, brand new tractor with a loader. I settled on a Case IH JX 70 FWA. For years, I did all my work with fifty year old B,C, and 400 Farmalls; 630 and 70 Poppin' Johnnies; and whatever old tractor I had...

    Rubber mounted Unstyled B Radiator Fan

    Just traded a buddy out of the early, short frame unstyled B that he restored back in the "80s. You all probably know the story...it has the rubber mounted fan and original shaft, and, sure enough, it turned loose and got into the radiator. so, what is the correct fix for this? Does anyone...

    Old-time threshing

    The Men who built America

    Case and Allis Chalmers were experimenting with Rotary Technology in the 1930s-IH did some tinkering in the 20's and never really stopped. Curtis Baldwin build several rotary combines fromt the 30's onward. The reason nobody really built any until later was the much higher horsepower...
