    70 tach

    I think the follow up question may be, is there a way to adjust it if it is found to be off? I've confirmed mine is off but would like to tweek it a bit.

    70 tach

    I am curious to follow this as well. I purchased a JD 70 earlier this year and the tach cable was broken. I purchased a replacement cable but when installed it looks like it is running about 200 rpm faster than my timing light "tach" function. I was wondering if a small spacer would make any...

    Re: 1954 Model 70 Update

    Ok, thanks. I'll give it a try here. (I am not sure why the thread has split). &lt;iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gRzNIASShH8" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;

    1954 Model 70 questions from a newbie

    Hope you get some good enjoyment out of your 70 gas. I picked mine up earlier this summer and I have really liked it. Had some fun tedding oats hay earlier this year but for now its just a show tractor. As was noted, I like having the fenders on it as it completes the look. I'm not any...

    Favorite Pre-1975 Loader Tractor?

    Yes, this comment here has probably been my biggest hesitation when moving forward with buying a loader (this is where a skid steer shines). This is also why most gravitate to the newer sub compact with the hydro fwd/rev abilities. While not for use in a barn, I consider my usage similar to...

    So, has the dust settled?

    Looks like the run on the bank is already starting! :shock: :roll: [/img]

    Favorite Pre-1975 Loader Tractor?

    Excellent point I forgot to mention. Given the close quarters, the power reverser was something I think would be very handy. I had looked at the IH464 and would consider if I see one. Thanks.

    Favorite Pre-1975 Loader Tractor?

    I figure something that can lift in the 1000-1500# range would do me ok. I have some old engines on skids in the 800-1000# range and taking flywheels off can be a bear. I have a lot of heavy cast iron projects in general that I usually need to move by hand right now. I had my eyes set on...

    Favorite Pre-1975 Loader Tractor?

    I would really like to have an older skid steer around the garage to help move engines, wood, dirt, ect, but most are still pretty proud of them and the pricing shows it. I have a small mini loader for my garden tractor that serves its purpose for what I ask it to do. I have long since debated...

    Long: End Of Antique Tractor Market

    Kind of an echo of what Paul had said. In engineering terms, I see each generation as a "half life" of a chemical reaction. Each generation, there will still be those who carry on but equal of which will move over into the ranks of not. Myself, I have always loved antique tractors and...

    Farm Equipment: Then and Now

    ...and that is why my dad is still milking 60 cows 2x a day since 1979. If he modernized to a 300 cow herd, he'd need to milk 600 to pay for it! The neighbors tried that when I was in grade school. I think they made it 10 years before it finally wore them all down trying to chase the debt...

    Organic Grain Prices

    As a "younger" person to most of my peers in this group, a lot of my by hand farming practices were gone by the time I helped and grew up on a dairy farm here in PA. Our hand work was feeding animals and baling hay. However, I have really taken up a joy in reading old books. The Operation...

    5500 lbs on 7K trailer?

    Not to be argumentative, but I am not sure about your qualms for a Toyota Tundra in this application. Additionally, when you step up to a 14k trailer, now you have extra trailer weight and in many states, a much different truck/trailer registration requirement. It costs me a lot more per year...
