    MF65 Paint Colors

    I need the paint color codes and/or names for the correct red and gray paint for a 1963 Massey Ferguson 65 diesel. Also a good place to buy a few rattle cans of same. I gotta buy a new exhaust manifold and paint it. Dang tree limbs.... I think the gray might be Metallic Flint Gray, but I...

    Ground Ivy, AKA Creeping Charley

    You just have to keep after it. One application will not get rid of it. Several applications per year are required, and it may take a couple of years to really knock it back. It's pretty tough stuff, but you can beat it. Don't give up.

    Air Compressor Tank Question

    I'd be concerned that rust converter by itself would not hold up over the long run. I bought a new compressor 25 years ago and coated the tank with POR-15, after cleaning the oil out with solvent, then using phosphoric acid rust converter to get any rust out. I opened that big plug a few...

    Another Ethanol Question

    The recent ethanol discussion makes me wonder whether I might have made a mistake buying a used Silverado pickup with the flex fuel option. I only use E15 here on the east coast, as E85 is generally not available. Compared to the standard version, is the truck somehow compromised by the flex...

    Who Made This Plow

    A friend of mine has an old 2-bottom disk plow and we"re curious who made it. There is no original paint. The main framework is a 6-inch diameter heavy tube running front to back, with hemispherical end caps. The end caps are castings, and have the raised letters HF cast inside a raised...

    Drill Doctor Problems

    Mike, I had the same thing happen to me a few times. I carefully realigned the drill bit between the two metal fingers in the alignment fixture, taking care to make sure the drill was rotated to the centered position. It seemed to fix the problem. You might try rotating the drill very...

    O/T Mice in toolbox

    Google K&H Mfg or Thermokitty lounger. Then look on ebay. Cats will love you... Figure 40 to 60 bucks.

    Red Pontiac (potato, not car)

    Have had good luck growing these in northeastern PA (Susquehanna County) most years. Flavor is excellent. They don't keep as long as white potatoes do. Just eat them first, no problem. If you want a real treat, slice a fresh potato really thin, coat with cooking oil, arrange in a single...

    Need Dash Illumination Lamps for 530

    The dash illumination lamp assemblies on my 1967 Case 530 ag tractor are badly rusted and I'd like to replace them. This is the later style dash, with individual gauges. The original part A24087 is no longer available from CNH. They look like little metal helmets over the bulb, with a slot to...

    Roundup

    Stan, I use a 1 percent solution of active ingredient to kill brush, multiflora rose bushes, weeds, and grass. Very effective. You might try something a bit weaker and see how it goes. I suppose it also depends on how much spray you apply, as well. I use a wand sprayer and try to wet the...

    Security Lights

    Can anyone recommend a particular brand of security lights, the type which turn on and off automatically, which actually function properly? The ones I bought about 8 years ago, Regent, I think, are not worth a hoot. They come on when they"re not supposed to, and often don"t come on when they...

    OT 93 Bonneville Converter Lockup Question

    Man, I knew you guys would know the answer! Thanks! Driveability is great, except for the mildly annoying uptick in RPMs as it re-locks at highway speed after getting off the pedal. Don"t recall that from before, but CRS these days anyway. Shifts are smooth as silk and right where they need to...

    OT 93 Bonneville Converter Lockup Question

    Apologize for the OT, but I need your wisdom here. My 93 Bonneville started acting strangely a while back. The torque converter locks up and unlocks nicely in response to commands from the PCM, but two things seem a bit strange to me. First is that lockup only occurs above 38 mph, while the...

    Thanks, that's helpful info!

    Case 530 Brake Problems

    Honestly, I don't know what's in there... but I recall the shop manager mentioning something about ramp and ball. I'm not sure he ever looked inside, though, and I'm pretty sure he made that comment before they ever took the brakes apart. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and tear into it...
