    Late styled A air stack

    I want to thank all who replied, I appreciate the input. Since this will be an "outdoor job" I'm leaning towards getting the pressure washer after it as soon as our temperatures start staying above freezing. We've had overnight lows below zero the last few days here in balmy southern...

    Late styled A air stack

    I recently acquired a 1951 A. It seemed to be running rich, at times backfiring and blowing black smoke. I went through the carb replacing the needle and seat due to the viton tip being eroded, the float checked out good. It didn't run any better after that so I replaced the points and...

    Thanks Pete for the direct link, I wasn't quite sure how to do that. Appreciate it. Rick

    Tractor Ride

    Location is Southeast Minnesota, about 60 miles south of the Minneapolis/St Paul metro. We've been unusually dry here this summer. Rain has been sporadic but at least we've had some. Temperatures are in the upper 90's this weekend which will further dry things out. The ride is put on by the...

    Tractor Ride

    I went on a local tractor ride on August 20th. Later I noticed someone posted a video on you tube. They did a good job on the video and I thought some of you folks would enjoy seeing it. We had a great day for the ride, it was close to a 40 mile loop on hard surface road with over 100...

    Tire mounting

    I've found that ArmorAll in the spray bottle works pretty well. I apply a abundant dose to the tire bead before mounting. So far so good.

    185 serial number

    It appears to have a shallow oil pan, I believe it has the original paint on it but no Crop Hustler decals. I'm thinking it's likely a 1973. Thanks for the information DrAllis.

    185 serial number

    I have an Allis 185 I'm trying to determine the year of. I found the serial number near the clutch housing which reads 185 then a deep mark that is possibly the number one which is followed by 4735. I'm not sure if that deeper mark is the number one or simply an indentation left during the...

    Quick attach bucket falls off.

    If your buckets are newer, the issue is likely with the quick attach itself. I would check the latch linkages for worn parts and also check that the latch springs aren't weak or broken. The angled tips of the latch pins could be worn as well. I had the same issue a couple years ago with losing...

    544 shifter problem

    Thanks for the insight Barnyard and Pete 23. I can reach my finger up behind the cross shaft and feel the end of the pin but that's about all the room there is. Seems like my best option is to remove the flow divider body and knock that pin back to where it should be. Mostly I wanted to know if...

    544 shifter problem

    Having an issue with a Farmall 544 shifter. Trying to move or remove the gear selector dowel pin (round pin) on the cross shaft above the battery area. The pin has somehow worked it's way partially out and you can't shift through neutral to the 2/3 or4/5 gears. The pin is in the R/1...

    Old PTO generator

    Thanks, I was able to print those pages. Appears to be the same as my generac PTO unit. Glad to see oil type and qty listed as I plan to change the gearbox oil. Thanks again! Rick

    Old PTO generator

    I'd be interested in obtaining a copy of that manual when you are able to generate one. More than willing to pay for your time and effort. I bought one of those 'twin head PTO generators on an auction a couple of years ago. Just never got around to hooking it up to a tractor to see if and how...

    super M oil pan plug

    I recently aquired an early farmall super M (1952). When I went to change the engine oil, I found a badly stuck drain plug. In fact, I had to remove the oil pan to get it out. Was surprised to find a 3/4" pipe plug in it. In searching the net, it seems like this should have been a hex head...

    Super M conformatic piston

    Have a family member working on a Super M, ended up damaging one of the pistons and is looking for a good used or NOS conformatic 4 1/8 inch piston. I believe the damaged piston has the large wrist pin (1 5/16"?). Also will need a complete set of rings for 4 pistons. Anyone know of a possible...
