    John Deere Rear Tire Rim.

    As Olliejunkie said, the calcium is in a tube. You can drain the calcium and replace the tube, then reuse the tire. If you drain the tube, be aware that the calcium is a salt and will kill any vegetation it gets on. It is also corrosive to steel. So, clean the wheel good, and paint it. Put...

    LP Gas

    Have you tried starting it with the air cleaner on it and oil in the cup? Those systems like to see a vacuum across the mixer.

    Hazmat endorsement

    I carried a hazmat endorsement for 20 years when I hauled fuel for a living. I dropped it after I started hauling grain, WDGS, and litter. The fuel hauling did not pay as well as other trucking, and the Hazmat is a huge pain. I still have a CDL with tanker, doubles/triples, and every other...

    H.p. at lower rpm

    Now , go back and read the rest of the history on how James Watt came up with the "formula" that we have been using for a hundred years. The measurements he did resulted in odd numbers that wouldn't easily convert. So, they rounded them off to come up with the constant of 5252 that is used as...

    H.p. at lower rpm

    Sure. It's simple. Horsepower is a theoretical number that is derived by measuring torque, then multiplying it by RPM, and then dividing by 5252. So all you need to do is find the torque of the engine at whatever RPM you are interested in and you can calculate the horsepower. For...

    Row Crop Tractor

    Row crop tractors have adjustable axles so they can be set for different row spacing. They can be either a narrow front with adjustable rear axles, or a wide front with both front and rear adjustable axles. Standard or "wheatland" tractors have fixed width axles.

    RTU lights

    The rear light is the original style. The headlights are not. The original headlights mounted with a single stud on a "Z" shaped bracket that bolts to the side of the cowling with two bolts.

    RTU questions

    The NAPA oil filter is a 7208. However, it is not the original metal one, but a sock type. Welters Farm Supply may be able to get the originals yet, but I would ask if they have been forced to go with the sock style too. 417-498-6496

    My first MM - A Jetstar!

    Handy little tractors. About 44 PTO horsepower. A lot of them got loaders put on them. Mine has one. The serial number makes it a 1961, like mine. They were originally painted Metallic Bronze on everything but the wheels, which were painted Prairie Gold. The Energy Yellow paint was used...

    Bio Diesel in fuel oil furnace

    I'm south of you, here in Missouri, so things may be different in ND. I am a retired fuel hauler. I hauled primarily in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. Around these parts, most places stopped putting bio-diesel in the diesel fuel for the winter blend. They went back with it in the...

    scrap up a little??

    I've been cleaning out my shop. I've got several automatic transmissions that I've saved over the years. I called the scrap yard. 8 cents a pound. Not worth hauling them in.

    A G-4 Engine

    Remove the head. If you're careful, you can reuse it. These are low compression flathead engines and I have reused head gaskets before with success. New is best of course. Take the valve covers off on the opposite side. Now, you can gently tap any stuck valves back and forth and free them...
