    Re; Hand Cleaner

    I finally gave up on the ones in a jug with a pump. The pumice was probably eating the pumps and they quit working. Switched to Dawn dish detergent in a gallon jug with a pump. Works better than any hand cleaner I have ever used--even on the tough diesel oil type grease from inside the...

    New Holland Online parts store

    Try Messick's web site. They have the same parts diagrams as the CNH web site, but are MUCH more user friendly.

    How to cut porcelain coated steel?

    I have an old pressure tank that would make an ideal barbeque pit. Problem is it looks to be porcelain coated on the inside. We have not tried to cut into it yet, but my buddy with the torch is afraid it would just make a big mess due to blow back from the porcelain. The tank is about a 225...

    I need help with injector timing--3 cylinder diesel

    I tried everything Dave suggested. Plus, I spent at least 6 hours just moving the injector timing gear a couple of teeth at a time. Still no start. It will fire on ether, but not continue running. Then I went to a local tractor repair shop and talked with John, one of the best mechanics...

    How about this for a fuel can alternative?

    I hate the new fuel cans with the super safe configuration as much as anyone. Son came home today with an interesting alternative. He went by an automotive performance shop and spied a 5 gallon racing fuel container which he bought. This thing is awesome. It has a removable top which is...

    parts washer

    I also tried one of the HF parts washers because it was cheap. The pump failed pretty quick. Then I found a used commercial grade unit on CL and bought it. It was designed for water based cleaners and included a heater unit. After researching the cleaners, I decided to remove the heater unit...

    John Deere 535 baler twine pump belt keeps breaking

    Final update--I finally installed another new auto parts store pump on the baler. It burned/broke the belts just cycling the tying mechanism sitting right at the shop, never going to the field. So, I took the baler to the local JD dealer for a fix. They ended up putting a new JD pump on it...

    John Deere 535 baler twine pump belt keeps breaking

    TxJim--thanks for your response and help. I have double/triple checked that the belt is loose and pump not running in the idle position. I know the difference because when the first belt broke, the guy at the auto parts store measured it at 41 inches and that one burned up almost immediately...

    John Deere 535 baler twine pump belt keeps breaking

    Here is an update. Just got back from the local JD dealer for parts and discussion. Wouldn't you know it, someone else had bought all of their belts of the size I needed. Seems like they (the customer that ran them out of belts) had done the same as me and replaced the pump with a reman from...

    John Deere 535 baler twine pump belt keeps breaking

    After reading some more, one person had a similar problem and traced it down to the pulley on the pump being too wide/worn. The original belt is a 1/2" by 42" size. Wonder what a 5/8 or so belt width would do? Any suggestions?

    John Deere 535 baler twine pump belt keeps breaking

    I am having problems with my JD 535 baler. The belt on the twine pump continues to break. I have replaced the pump and checked the idler pulley alignment. In the last 2 days I have gone thru 5 new belts. The original JD belt calls for a 42 inch belt. I used aftermarket belts during the...

    O.T. 65 ford f-100

    Seems like the front side chrome ring fits into a little slot in the dash. Get your hand behind it and push the whole assembly forward (spring loaded)and it should unscrew.

    OT: barb wire spacing?

    I usually put the first wire about 12 inches off the ground. The rest go at 10 inch spacing. This makes a 50 inch high fence. Some people make the bottom even higher because it tends to build up anyway over time. For ease of measure, I take a small board and paint stripes around it at the...

    Help--shanks on old chisel plow

    I have an old J.I. Case model 5000 chisel plow with 5 shanks. Plowing new ground with stumps I have now broken 3 of the 5 shanks. The local Case/IH dealer has them for $178 each which nearly exceeds the value of the whole plow. Looked all over the internet for a replacement for their part...
