    Rear Axle Leak

    Upon a closer look at the old seal and a chat with a knowledgeable neighbor, it turns out my initial thoughts were wrong. Now that I know which way it goes in, it should be clear sailing from here. :) Thanks again to everyone for your kind and helpful advice!

    Rear Axle Leak

    Hi everyone, my seal has arrived. :D I ended up getting it from a company called BDI Express. I banged up the old seal a fair bit when removing it so I don't have a good reference for which side is supposed to go in first, facing the oil. Here are two pictures of my new seal. I'm pretty...

    Rear Axle Leak

    Thanks :) Yes, after going to a couple places I certainly got that vibe that regular auto supply stores wouldn't be able to help me. I'll try Motion again tomorrow.

    Rear Axle Leak

    After a busy morning running of around to five parts stores (including NAPA) I've ended up empty handed. I also called Motion Industries. The lady who answered said she needed to reach out to her contacts and she'd call me right back. It has been over 8 hours and I'm still waiting. :( Ah...

    Rear Axle Leak

    Thanks for the great advice! :) I checked the wheel cylinder and everything was good there. I've gone ahead and pulled out the seal (it gave quite a fight!) I'll stop by a parts store tomorrow and see what they have in stock. I'm also planning on replacing the shoes. Jim, I appreciate...

    Rear Axle Leak

    Hi everyone :) Last year I made my first posts on the forum about trying to fix the brakes on a homemade tractor my Grandfather built in the early '80s. I'm not someone who is very mechanically inclined, but with your help I managed to replace the wheel cylinders and get the brakes...

    Hand Cranking

    If it's not too much to ask, could someone explain what this means? I'm an amateur who has inherited a small tractor without an electric start.

    Oil Bath Air Filter Question

    Thanks so much everyone for your replies! Your helpful advice has cleared everything up. :) Thanks Steve@Advance for the cleaning tips. You're right in that this tractor hasn't seen much dirty work. All the same, I will definitely do a thorough cleaning of the mesh, as well as the oil bowl.

    Oil Bath Air Filter Question

    Hi Everyone, I've been doing some maintenance on a homemade tractor my Grandfather built (more on that Here) and recently decided to take a look inside the air filter. Unfortunately, there wasn't any oil in it. I plan on cleaning the reservoir and putting fresh oil in, but there is...

    Homemade Little Red Tractor

    Thanks again everyone for the nice comments :) Thanks for the suggestion! I have considered doing this- having lights would be nice. Though lately I've felt more inclined to just restore and maintain it as my Grandfather left it. I estimate it weighs 3/4 ton. I haven't taken it to a...

    What is the Reason Behind Shutting Off the Fuel?

    Power unit is a Continental IY69 probably from an International 50-T baler. Trans is from a Mercury airport luggage tug. :) If you're interested, I've made a post with more details about the tractor here: http://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/viewtopic.php?p=8084377#8084377

    Homemade Little Red Tractor

    Also one small edit: for the transmission/rear axle, I meant to say [i:3f3962cfb8]Mercury[/i:3f3962cfb8] rather than Morris. :)

    Homemade Little Red Tractor

    Thanks everyone for the kind responses! :) Thanks, yes this is correct. I used to think that the nose/hood were from a Super A with a modified grille, but I've found images of the power unit and they are an exact match. Thanks! Yes, he certainly put a lot of effort into making this tractor...

    Homemade Little Red Tractor

    I'm a newbie to tractors and machinery in general, but I have a tractor my Grandfather built around 40 years ago. I've had this tractor for a while, but only recently became interested in how it works and doing some maintenance. I've made a few posts on this forum asking questions and a few...
