    Aftermarket steps for White 2-85/105's

    I am getting old and knees are deteriorated. The White factory steps are becoming a tad too high anymore for me to easily get on and off of the 2-85 and 105 anymore. I see that there are aftermarket steps on Amazon for JD tractors that look like they could work and they are reasonably priced at...

    Trying to figure out why starter won't engage

    Well, after using a remote starter, nothing happened. So, I took the starter off and had it checked. The solenoid was bad, even though it was brand new. I do not know why it motored when I shorted across the power connection and the "S" terminal. It would not do it at the repair shop. They...

    Trying to figure out why starter won't engage

    I am playing with an old 1650 gasoline engine. I bought a new Oliver engine wiring harness with a new key ignition switch and have had the starter rebuilt with a new solenoid. The new solenoid has power connections along with an "S" and "I" small terminals. The wiring diagram does not show the...

    1650 motor into 880

    We came across an old 880 diesel that had been sitting in the woods for years. The tractor had sat with the exhaust open and the valve cover off. The owner's son had started to do a shade tree valve job and quit. Then the owner got the bright idea to open the pan drain to let the water out after...

    Esch Hay Tedders

    We are seriously planning on dealing for a new hay tedder here in western PA next spring. We have been casually doing some looking and pricing. The ones made overseas have really jumped in price due to the tariffs. We were thinking about a new Krone but the price is now high. We were quoted...

    Alfalfa autotoxicity

    I was told by PSU extension to burn down in the spring, plant another crop for the summer, and then reseed the next spring. Thats what I did here in Western PA last year. We took off first cutting, burned down after green up, no-till planted Sudan grass/millet and took off two cuttings of that...

    Do you remember the terms of your first tractor purchase

    My dad started out farming after he came home from WWII. He bought our farm in 1946 and it came with a team of horses and a worn out 1924 IH 10-20 on steel. Tractors were hard to come by and he could not get an Farmall H or an Oliver 70. The only new tractors that were available were the Farm...

    Does anyone have a perkins 354.1 for 2-85

    RR Lund is correct. It would probably be easier to do a Cummins conversion than address all of the changes needed to install a Dot 4 in place of a Dot1. You definitely should use a tractor for all the parts you will need. Good luck finding a good running Dot1 that is not already in a tractor and...

    1750 Hydraulic Pressure

    The steering on our 1750 has been sluggish or non-existent at low rpm's. I finally put a set of test gauges on the hydraulic outlets and checked pressure. The results were as follows: At idle (800 rpm), the pressure was zero; at 1600 rpm, the pressure was about 1000; and at full throttle (2300...

    Spin -on Fuel Filters

    I was at my neighbor's, and he was changing fuel filters on his IH 966. They were spin on filters and everything was easy-peasy. Minimal bleeding and the IH fired right up, and he did not spill any fuel. We have fought our White/Perkins cartridge fuel filters for years. Sometimes you can...
