    Where to start?? 464

    Talk to the person you purchased it from to find if it has been stored for any length of time in a shed or has been sitting outside for how long. Remove the sheet metal to gain access to the engine. Remove the plugs & borrow a bore scope device to peer into the cylinders. The rings tend to...

    Farmall 300 free spinning steering wheel

    Remove both side hoods, the front hood. Remove the center brace. take the cover off the top of the front bolster. Loosen steering shaft from front u-joint. Remove front steering worm gear cap & twist out the front steering shaft along with the bearing ( usually needs replaced). Loosen top...

    Thoughts on H rebuild/performance

    You may be able to tell more what route to take once you get it apart. It may just need new rings & the liners honed. The valves & seats may be just fine. This has NEVER been my experience......BUT..... it could happen. There are too many tricks to get a few more ponies out of...

    Farmall 300 hydraulic issue revisited

    Have you checked the Hydraulic valves behind the dash to check if they are set to single or double acting cylinder?? emove the right hood you will see them. Set them to double acting cylinder if your mower lift cylinder has two hoses attached. Check the hoses on the right side, if these are...

    Radiator flush

    I worked quite a few years as a diesel mechanic. Oil cooler leaks were an issue. We used an entire box of Cascade dish washer soap, the powder. Drained the coolant, back flushed with water, refilled the radiator to the top, poured in the cascade. Fired it up, backed it out & let it run at...

    If you had your pick

    I would buy whatever tractor suites your fancy. I worked for a large cemetery when I was younger. We had to mow a new 10 acre plot and we used a small tractor pulling a used golf course gang reel mower set up that would cut over an 8 foot swath. It was quite a job to get all the blades sharp...

    Removing starter pieces behind flywheel

    You might get lucky enough to get all the major pieces fished out with a magnet & some claw fingers, that would get you by for now. At least until you have the chance to get it split, on some REAL stands. THEN you can pull the clutch, flywheel & get an idea of what may have caused your...

    Accidental diesel in a farmall 450 gas engine?

    The good news is, not only is the inside of the tank very clean, but a bit of rust preventive treatment.

    F20 or Regular Crankshaft Front Felt Seal

    You might contact Nebraska Kirk. This is on an F30 but it is an excellent idea. he may be able to steer you in the right direction. http://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/viewtopic.php?t=1258864

    What kind of tractor would you get...

    I would recommend a Farmall H, simply because parts are so readily available. They made quite a few of them over the years. You can certainly buy one in very good condition a lot cheaper than it would cost you to "fix" one up. Implements are also plentiful, and readily available. Depends more...

    hytran oil?

    If you really enjoy tearing the trans & rear end apart to replace bearings & gears go ahead & run straight hydraulic fluid. If you would like to have a bit more dependable piece of equipment, drain what oil you have in there & replace with Hy-trans equivalent. Once it gets cold...

    Farmall H Lack of Power after Rebuild

    Too many variables. As stated above, using a dyno to dial in the carb & timing advance. That will be the only way to get it to pull correctly under a full load. You will also then know what HP you are actually putting out. There are many "tricks" to getting more ponies, but this would be...

    Farmall M, 8 volt battery??

    Yes the only one I am aware of.

    Farmall M, 8 volt battery??

    I went the 8 volt route for a couple of years. Got tired of replacing bulbs & points. I could get the voltage regulator to charge, but never got it " dialed in" to cut in & cut out properly. Got real tired of fiddling with that. Go the optima route, you will never understand why you...
