    1946 Allis Chalmers Model M

    Question to the Gurus, There just seems to be some chores on my property that the 8N can not do well. With the terrain slopes and rocks, I have limited use on about 40% of the property. I am confident a light dozer will do the rest of what I want to help move a little material and mostly...

    Axle hubs and nuts

    Yes! The outer seals are ordered! On the list. I tend to maybe not explain things throughly or step over a thought.

    Axle hubs and nuts

    I will look into the seals. I'm not against doing something now that is going to help my future. So, the big question kids, larger axle nut or the smaller type? I'm putting on new because someone years ago torqued on the right side using the smaller size available and obviously tried to use a...

    Axle hubs and nuts

    Why anti seize? Habit I guess. I put things together anticipating something else will need to be fixed someday. Like I said, the seals and bearings seem fine...... for now...... Again, just habit I guess. I know I can generate 450 ft/lbs on the nut. Dry is better?

    Axle hubs and nuts

    So. The saga continues. Tractor runs well, radiator was bad and I had them order another. So ,doing all I can so all I have to do is bolt In he radiator and go, I discovered the "8N hub flop." Yes, my poor buggy has fell victim. I am ordering brakes, hubs, little junk here and there, etc. He...

    Auxiliary under/over drives.

    Update; new carb on and it runs like a champ! Even at low speeds. I still want to gear it down if I ever find an auxiliary unit. Everything was great until the radiator started to leak (after about an hour) It is removed and I can not find the leak. It all looks great. Must be one of the...

    Wide Wheel Setting

    Update people, I received the new carb today and wow! Starts easy, pulls well, does great. One tinker down, a few more to go. Worked it in the un even ground for a little over an hour and noticed a radiator leak. Well, it's removed and I'll find a place tomorrow to test it. I could not find the...

    Wide Wheel Setting

    Yes, John in Mich, it is an 8N and I intend to use the loader quite a bit in the uneven terrain. I have a lot of heavy equipment experience and keep loads close to the ground, but there is some goofy ground that will be worse before it get better. There will be some places I will have to have...

    Old smaller tractor for small brush hog

    Thank you for the information about the PTO. I ask, why is it the fun things show up right when you spend your money? You all have to appreciate this. Ugh...... http://spokane.craigslist.org/grd/5700708452.html

    Wide Wheel Setting

    I do have less than 1/4 of our property that I intend to work that has some real uneven and sloped terrain. Is there any reason I couldnt just swap the rear set around, for proper tire direction, and widen the front out? I ask because I read a discussion recently where someone wrote about "if...

    Old smaller tractor for small brush hog

    I did forget to specifically point out that after seeing Kirk in NJ posts of the tractors that i FULLY intend to go that rout for the Mrs. if I can find one. That would be a perfect "toy" for the wife. Again, just something she can play on when she wants. After the post about the belly mowers, i...

    Old smaller tractor for small brush hog

    I can see a Cub Low Boy is the one! My wife and I in our late fourties and in great physical health. Eat healthy, don't take any meds, not overweight and exercise a lot, etc. With that, the Cub will be used on flat pasture to knock down the early weeds when they shoot up and then drag the...

    Old smaller tractor for small brush hog

    With all that said. If we go with a rotary cutter how do I know which cutter to purchase. Someone said the PTO runs the other way, right? Is it a gearbox rotation on the cutter, or just a blade change? After a little coffee and computer snooping his morning, it almost HAS to be a Cub or Cub...

    Old smaller tractor for small brush hog

    Thanks all! Last night after I posted the question I discovered the Farmall and IH (I know, just a later version) Cub tractors. They look like they would fit the "cute" bill. The offset to one side is a bonus. My wife loves the unusual, less common, and abnormal. (hey, she married me) I...
