    Frustrating Farmall M Carburetor

    It has a distributor. I don't hear so well so I have a hard time trusting my ear. I have pulled all plugs and they appear the same with no difference in color or smell. I do have 1-3-4-2 I Have the rotor turn clock wise on my set up. Just so I understand. If I remove the Cap and I set TDC...

    Frustrating Farmall M Carburetor

    I am about to lose my mind. I have a 1950 Farmall M and I have taken the carburetor to my local shop and had it ran through their Ultrasonic cleaner. I brought the Carburetor home and put a comprehensive kit in it. I have completely torn apart the engine and have put it back together. This...

    Front Wheel Bearing Hub

    Thanks I like that tip! I will try it and see how it works on an inconspicuous application first of course and then I'll give her hell as they say. I have been looking for hubs and seeing what they cost and I think my tractor will be okay without a new one and a lot of people want to sell the...

    Front Wheel Bearing Hub

    I am not looking for fully restored or hauling it around and parading it. I use it for pulling stumps and occasionally plowing the garden and discing the garden it's more of a play tractor and sometimes it gets to do a big boy job like pull a load of hay or pull a square baler.

    Front Wheel Bearing Hub

    when you say staked the hub I am envisioning you took a center punch and hammered close to the race on the hub and tried to flare the metal out so as to create a tighter fit and then use a blue or red loctite to sort of hold the material from spinning once you drive the race in? Thanks...

    Front Wheel Bearing Hub

    I like your JB Weld idea but I have never heated up JB weld? I have squeezed the two tubes together and made the mix up before and applied it to different things. Would that be what you are referring to when you say heat it up of do they make a type that you literally heat up with a torch and...

    Front Wheel Bearing Hub

    Thanks for the advice. I did already purchase the lower bolster but they didn't have any hubs and I figured mine were still okay.

    Front Wheel Bearing Hub

    Hello again, I posted a message the other day about my narrow front end Farmall M and I have another issue with my Hub assembly. Today I was finishing cleaning the hub assembly and I grabbed the inside race and pulled it out with my fingers. I was alarmed so I went ahead and used a Micrometer...

    Farmall M Narrow Front End

    sorry it took me so long to get back to you but I wound up buying a new lower bolster early on Friday. I Live in Southern Illinois, I would have rather bought yours but am unsure how I would have gotten it in my possession. Thanks for the help and offer.

    Farmall M Narrow Front End

    I will google it now and see what I can find. Mr. Nicholson appears to believe the whole lower bolster is junk from the damage. I am pretty sure he is right. I need to find a scrap yard near me and see what I can find. Thanks for the Help! I will check the website out.

    Farmall M Narrow Front End

    I was wondering about that myself. I guess I will have to hunt for a bone yard around me and see if I can get a lower Bolster pretty reasonably. Thanks again!

    Farmall M Narrow Front End

    Farmall M Narrow Front End

    Can someone help me with what I am looking at on my Farmall M tricycle front end. I had a bearing issue and Have discovered that I have two different hub assemblies and am not sure whether these parts are pressed in or if they can be removed easily. I don't want to re-install without cleaning...

    Head Gasket Sealant

    I just went and looked at my head gasket and it doesn't have anything written about no sealant or seal and re-torque. I bought it from this website so I am going to plan on reading the copper coat can and seal/ re-torque as per everyone's suggestions. I am assuming I am supposed to coat both...
