    Using a 12 V Dwell Meter on a Massy TO-30 6V Positive Ground

    Yeah, I've always done that, but finally got around to reading the manual. From 1954, so 4 years after the tractor was made, and being an engineer, LOL

    Using a 12 V Dwell Meter on a Massy TO-30 6V Positive Ground

    Hi, I posted in TO-30, but it was suggested I might get more info here, any help appreciated! I recently replaced point, plugs, wires, cap & rotor. Per the manual setting points via a dwell meter is preferred. (I've always used a feeler gauge...) I borrower a vintage car guy's Sears Model...

    Selling my fathers TO-20 at auction may 30.

    Nice tractor! It looks a lot like my 1950 TO-30 that my dad bought new in 1950, but not sure how to tell a TO-20 from a TO-30... Sometimes very little change from one year to the next - know lots of tractors and trucks were sold as the year they were sold. My dad bought a new International...

    12 Volt Dwell Meter on 6 Volt Positive Ground

    I recently replaced point, plugs, wires, cap & rotor. Per the manual setting points via a dwell meter is preferred. (I've always used a feeler gauge...) I borrower a vintage car guy's Sears Model 161.214230 Automotive Engine Analyzer, which is a 12 volt. Has anyone had success using on the 6...

    Differential Dipstick Oil Level

    I replaced a broken axle in the woods where it broke 5 years ago and did not shim the replacement axle. Five years later it began leaking at the axle seal. I took the opportunity to re-shoe the brakes and of course properly shim and replace the leaking seal. The oil level since replacing the...

    1950 TO-30 lLeaking Hydraulic Fluid at Wheel

    Thank you for the reply. I assume you are referring to the section in the manual "Packing The Rear Wheel Bearing"? (Page 35) I don't recall doing this procedure when I replaced the axle in the woods. So step 7 - "Mount wheels and recheck for axle end play by lowering tractor to the...

    1950 TO-30 lLeaking Hydraulic Fluid at Wheel

    I replaced the same axle 4 years ago, the receipt shows a gasket and a seal. Do I need to replace again? Or check to be sure there isn't excess bearing wear causing the seal failure? Memory is fuzzy, LOL I plan to replace brake shoes at the same time, have a buddy that says he can turn the...

    Warning Tag

    Cleaning out the under-hood tool box last night, I came across this tag. I seem to remember that it was originally on a chain, maybe used as a lock to keep the hydraulic handle down when using the _____. (forgot the name of them.. like stabilizer bars, but fix the drawbar vertical height.)...

    TO30 Lift Arm Part Needed

    Thanks for the replies. I didn't find on this site, but have used the 'contact us' to inquire. I *think* I remember that there were chains attaching from the holder to the lynch pins. But that was awhile ago... ;-)

    TO30 Lift Arm Part Needed

    Giving my TO30 some TLC after the winter snow plowing season. I need the small metal lynch pin holder that was riveted to the lift arm. (Not sure what it is called or the part number.) Like the one in the attached pic. Is this part available? I assume I can rivet it back on/...
