    Shuttle Shift Tractors ????

    I find by the time you back up 10 or 15 feet stick tractor back in a forward gear it dont take much longer with the clutch in till you are ready to go again, but I only roll a hundred or 2 a year. Pretty easy job compared to the squares. Unless you buy something newish you are going to have a...

    77 plus 310

    Kinda depends on what you are doing to the 310? I am assuming you are putting together a puller? If you are buiding a serious engine that is going to turn some rpms you should get yourself a steel flywheel. Other wise you will need a 88/880 flywheel. I THINK either a 77/770 or 88/880 bell...

    Happy 8-8 day

    My favorite tractor. I grew up on a 1949 88 standard diesel that Dad bought new. IMHO the best all around tractor of that time period.

    Weedy oats

    I bought an old JD 800 swather years ago when oats were down and full of green. After it was all dry ( layed there for 3 or 4 days) went thru the old 18 quite well. Now even when oats are clean I swath first if the weather looks dry.

    1550 Cockshutt pto

    Yes you are correct. I took a look just now and clutch discs can be done without removing shaft. I should have known this as just did my 1550 a year or so ago. I think I pulled shaft maybe just to check out drive splines?? Will leave it to Mike to set OP straight.

    1550 Cockshutt pto

    I am pretty sure you need to pull the shaft and all. rrlund was right the first time he posted. Its not hard to pull the shaft out once you remove the retaining bolts in behind the clutch pack. I think I have a shop manual specificaly for 1550 but will have to wait till morning to go out and...

    Swivel Hitch

    I had a 1209 JD haybine once that had the swivel ball on the haybine and a fixed pin that bolted up to the drawbar of the tractor. If you really wanted to you could probably find one of these in the junkyard and bolt the piece that was on the haybine to your tractor, but why? I am guessing you...

    Allis CA questions

    I guess us Canadian farmers have some of our own terminology for things. Up here if you said to cultivate corn v/s scuffle corn we would think you were from the city! Not sure if its true or not but I think it originated from the Dutch who invented a special garden hoe called a scuffler???

    Allis CA questions

    My Dad bought a CA new pretty much just to scuffle corn. I see the one you are looking at is set up for scuffler as well. I still have the tractor and intend to restore it someday as it was actually the first tractor I drove. They are a great little tractor and if its running right will outdo a...

    Oliver 77 gas block different from a diesel

    Agree they are the same, but keep in mind you will need the bushing pressed into the block that the pump idler gear runs in, the gear, the front plate etc. but you probably knew that.

    Oliver 770 Clutch Housing Tube

    I believe the tube is supposed to go in till flush with step in BH that felt seal sits in. I am guessing thats about 3/4 inch or maybe a bit more even. You need this much engagement to ensure it stays there and it could be cocked off one way or the other if not in far enough. First thing is make...

    1550 bull gear pinion removal

    Not sure on a 1550, but if its anything like a 88 you will need to wrap a nylon sling or something around the diff to support it while you pull the pinions/shafts. I swapped them from side to side on a 88 recently as the drive side was worn pretty bad. On the 88 it is not that difficult to...
