    Looking for Magnets for a KW model SA magneto

    Greetings, I am looking for two magnets for a KW magneto model SA. They are horseshoe style, 3/4 square bars, 3-1/2 wide by 6" high. The gap between the legs is 2". The magneto uses three magnets, I have one, so I just need two more. If anyone can guide me in a direction, I would greatly...

    Putting an Auxiliary hydraulic pump for loader on a 135

    I have a 1967 MF 135 that has a loader and is SO slow. I would like to add a hydraulic pump for just the loader. I looked at the front casting, and there is no machined surfaces for a SAE 2 hydraulic pump to mount on the front of the engine. I would have to make adapter plates. I was...

    How forgiving are F-series heads?

    The head on my regular has an old repair for freezing and it gave way. A guy gave me a replacement head. I took it to the machine shop to have it faced (flat) and they magnifluxed it and found some hairline cracks; one between #2 & #3 cylinder on the face, one between intake & exhaust guides...

    TO-30 Oil fouls #1 plug and Coolant Water Gurgles for about 5 minutes after shut off when mowing

    UPDATE: Well I tried to mow one last time and I could not get the engine to run well, even after replacing the plugs. A hail Mary pass, I went to rebuild the distributor but could not get all the parts and decided to replaced the distributor with a new one from Steiners. I gapped the plugs...

    TO-30 Oil fouls #1 plug and Coolant Water Gurgles for about 5 minutes after shut off when mowing

    I have an old beat up To-30 that I use with a finish belly motor to mow about 4 acres of grass. The poor tractor was well used before I go it. I am not using much engine oil, and there is no water in it, but the #1 spark plug builds up with burnt oil near the electrodes. I have to clean the...

    Please Help! Allis C head gasket - Best brand?

    Greetings, I need to change a blown head gasket again. Yes, I will be sending the head out for re-surfacing, and Magnaflux just to make sure. But, in the meantime, I need to order a new head gasket. I grew up on metal head gaskets, and have been out of the mix the past few years, so I need to...

    1923 10-20 brakes

    Brakes? We don't need no stinking brakes LOL In a 10-20, if your lucky to get it moving, you can get off and run around it and still get back on by the time it moves a tracotr lenght...Beside, having independand brakes still wouldn't make it turn any faster. The John Deere D didn't have...

    Anyone know anything about CANBUS terminators?

    CAN is here to stay. Its a great way of sending controlling signals throughout an electronic system. For example, the average car has over 7 computers using CAN to talk to each other. A digital signal, or wave is sent and changed as it runs through out the CAN loop. What is the purpose of...

    Do any components need to be changed after a 0.125 overb

    I like using CHAMPION 589 {W89D} plugs in my two cylinder JDs. Its a hot plug and protudes deep into the cylinder. Generally, it doesn't carbon up as bad nor does it foul out when shutting off the engine or flood as easy when starting. I have also found that JDs two cylinders hand start...

    Phosphoric Acid to prevent rust

    Greetings, I got a gallon of 85% food grade phosphoric acid for rust treatment on some old ford fenders and hood off of a 640 - the sheet metal is well beat up (before I got the tractor). This is a work tractor and it will be very loved helping around the farm; my only goal is to preserve it...

    Where do I find a Rear Axle for a TO-30?

    Thank you. I checked YT and didn't see a replacement axle in thier parts for sale. Also, when I type in that axle number I get it is for a TO-20 as well; I have a TO-20 axle and it is too small in diameter and only has 16 splines. Again, thank

    4000 industrial

    I have a 1801 that was a SOS that the previous owner swapped out a 5spd for. I ahve had the machine for 32 years now and would never part with it. Infact, I just did a major overhaul. I was 23 when I go it and won't let it until I am 90.

    Where do I find a Rear Axle for a TO-30?

    I have a Ferguson TO-30, serial number TO-6465. I pick it up with a MF 135 last year and it had a leaky & loose rear seal & bearing. Upon investigation, I found that the axle had been broken and welded up, with it looking like an old repair. It was poorly shimmed and caused the...
