    John Deere 520 Front Weights Question

    Thank you very much for all of the information, this will help me out for sure as I thought regular hex head bolts would've worked. Does anyone know if they make hardened carriage bolts or will the regular Grade 5 carriage bolts work with these heavy weights?

    John Deere 520 Front Weights Question

    I have a 1957 John Deere 520 that I want to put front weights on. The tractor already has one weight directly on the front and I also have the two side weights that go on it but are off the tractor. This might be a dumb question but I am wondering how these side weights bolt on? I have tried...

    tractor splitting stand

    Charlie, what is your email, I would like to see some pictures of what you have created. I am looking to make something to split my Farmall AV but need some ideas on where to bolt to and where or how the front would be supported?

    Farmall A AV Transmission Question

    This is what I found when I removed the transmission cover off of my 1945 Farmall AV. I haven't drained any of the fluid yet, is the level supposed to be that low or should it be covering the gears? I imagine some has leaked out over the years. Now I am wondering what I should do next because...

    Farmall AV Rear Wheel Weights

    Are the rear wheel weights the same on an A as on an AV? I have two on each side on my 45' AV and I'm just wondering what kind of weight I should expect when I go to take them off. Looks like I'm going to have to cut the bolts because they are so rusted on and no easy way to get to the back...

    Farmall AV PTO Question

    I have a 1944 Farmall AV that I am in the process of restoring, the other day I was trying to clean off the rear end and came across a plug just under the PTO lever that takes a flathead screwdriver. I removed the plug and behind it appears to be something still in there but on the plug that I...

    Farmall A info needed

    Is there any easy way to tell if you need to get the head trued when you get it off there? I have a 45' AV that I am restoring and I want to replace the head, valve, and oil pan gaskets among others. But with the head gasket I was wondering if you can just remove the head, clean everything...

    Allis Chalmers G Original Paint

    I did read (and see a picture of) in a Farmall book that told about painting everything red, even the wires, coil, cap, etc.. Personally I would also stay away from painting that stuff but there are also people out there that want to be as exact as they can be when restoring stuff. Guess...

    Allis Chalmers G Original Paint

    I also have a 1949 "G" - S/N- 13840 - that is in original condition from what I believe since I am certain that my Grandpa nor Father took the time to re-paint or restore any thing on the tractor, just kept it maintained in order to farm with. From what I saw on the tractor in the engine area...

    Update on cheap millionaires

    While in Halifax, Nova Scotia this past July I found out why they don't tip. Our waitress told us that she makes $8.75 an hour which is way more than what they pay waitstaff in the states, they depend on the tips aswhere the Canucks don't have to as much. It shows too because the service was...

    Sharkbite Coupling

    There is another brand out there that is along the same line but costs much less, it's called ProBite. They even compare it on their website and in their literature to "Brand-S". http://www.probite.com/ But neither of them mention where they are made so they're both probably Chinese...

    O/T : Farmville

    I've never messed with Farmville on Facebook because I'm not on there that often but if you have an iPhone there is an app called Tap Farm which is similar to Farmville. If anyone has it and wants to add me as a neighbor here is the link and my email. Email: [email protected]...
