    Remember Hugh MacKay

    'old red iron has been fast loosing interest and value', yup that sure seems to be the current trend. Part of the problem, it seems to me, is cost. Used to be much easier and cheaper to ship an item across the boarder. Now there all kinds of duties, taxes, levies, fees, etc that make it...

    Need to confirm parts

    The opinions I have so far from members are: the hydraulic pump is junk because I can't verify that its as good as new, the ring gear is useless, and the starter doesn't have a warranty. I live in Manitoba Canada and to ship any of these items to the USA, where there might be some modest...

    Need to confirm parts

    Here is a picture of the starter number plate. It might have been for a W6 I had, can't remember. The ring gear was for sure from a 400D, because I bought to replace one that wore out. Always had to manually turn the engine a quarter turn before the starter would engage. Anyways, junk now I...

    Need to confirm parts

    I was going through my shed and came upon some parts I will not be needing. I had several IH 400D tractors and a 300U 20 years ago, sold them all. However I have a brand new never installed ring gear and rebuilt starter motor for a W400D tractor. Wondering what they would be worth? Also, I...

    New to us 1948 H distillate

    Looks okay. Nice old tractor that's still in the family, good that you got it before it was ruined by time and weather. Take good care of it, give it some attention and you will be rewarded. Best regards to you and yours.

    Farmall C hydraulics

    Was thinking maybe make a 3pth for it over the winter so I could use some of my other equipment. Maybe a 3 point sicklebar mower, or ? I had the stuff, have the time, so thought I'd see what I could do. I am quite impressed with the Char-Lynn unit, I know 800 psi isn't much by modern standards...

    Farmall C hydraulics

    Finally got to test out the new 60 year old hydraulics on my C, picked up a used hydraulic cylinder c/w hoses connected it up and awesome! I don't know if anyone was following along with my project, anyways basically I took a junked Char-Lynn hydraulic pack and attached it to my Farmall C's...

    painted mufflers

    Peavy Mart has good mufflers, low prices. Bought mine from them several years ago and still in good shape. By a flap cap too.

    IH Super C engine help

    So now I'm glad my 'C' never had a hydraulic pump or water pump for that matter. Had thought I was missing out, LOL.

    International 650 what s it worth

    Not one of the better looking IH tractors IMHO. The white grille and all red, plus no real style. A W9 revisted? Maybe just a rare IH model.

    IH 340 Utility Grinding Gears

    Of course you are correct regarding the TA and type of oil, the 'C' has no TA, on my previous IH 400D I used hytran ultra but never had the problem of grinding gears. I suppose it might be a clutch thing, just not adjusted properly. Just maybe he has too much water in the transmission?

    IH 340 Utility Grinding Gears

    I don't know very much about your particular tractor however, I had a similar problem with my Farmall C. Had to wait a long time for the gears to stop spinning before I could shift without grinding them. It was suggested to me to try 90 weight gear oil in the transmission. I had to drain the...

    Parent bores are not round

    Yeah, I shouldn't have commented on an engine I don't know. I thought they were wet sleeve.

    Parent bores are not round

    Metal does have elasticity, 2 thousands at the very bottom end where the piston doesn't even travel seems fairly insignificant considering the proposed light duty application and the length of the sleeves. But then I'm not a high performance engine specialist. Wouldn't the 'O' ring at the base...

    1950 Farmall M Problems

    Oh, and by the way shut the fuel valve off to stop the engine, let die with no fuel then turn the key off.
