    U Model Brakes

    Thanks ! The JT9114 is the right spring. Just need to cross it over to a modern number.

    U Model Brakes

    I was wondering if anyone here has a part number for a 47 Moline U brake shoe return spring. The drum size is 10.5 inches and the original shoe p/n is 23912. I know that number is obsolete. It is a Bendix number, and has their logo on the shoe. Thanks in advance for any information or advice! I...

    Minneapolis Moline U Transmission and Differential seals

    Thanks for the reply. I will tear into the brakes first and see what I can find there. I have the parts manual online that shows the "original" bearings in the axles that were installed at build. Maybe a seal could cross reference to that? I need to look inside the diff anyway as road gear...

    Minneapolis Moline U Transmission and Differential seals

    Thank you so much for your reply. Right now my main concern is the brake seals, they work very well as a constant drip irrigation system for waterproofing terrain with 90 weight. I think what I will do is pull that apart (again) and measure the shaft OD and the seal ID and depth for the brake...

    Minneapolis Moline U Transmission and Differential seals

    I have a 47 U that I am currently going through. I was wondering if someone here knew anything about upgraded seals for the diff and transmission? Has anyone tried newer style mechanical seals for the brake shafts, axle shafts, PTO shaft and transmission? I have access to bearing and seal...

    Update on what I been told about MM paint

    I too have discovered that Van Sickle and others are no longer making paint. Right now it seems that Stamms is the best way to obtain it. When I was at Clint's the other day I got to see a great paint job on his Moline Cab tractor from the thirties. That is the paint that they ordered for me and...

    Update on what I been told about MM paint

    Two weeks ago I went up to the Stamm's place and purchased an engine from Clint. I asked about paint then. I was able to order PPG-2 and Cherry Red from them. Their supplier sells the Sherwin Williams brand of paint, and it is drop shipped direct to you. I was able to get it in gallon size along...

    Minneapolis Model UTU Heads

    Thanks for the info. I will add these to my list of vendors. I have seen where standard size rings are available. Different pistons seem to be rare to find! I was really suprised how good the rings and pistons looked in the engine when I tore it down considering how bad it was running.

    Minneapolis Model UTU Heads

    Well I have figured out the problem with the U engine. I pulled the head and block assembly as one. The head gasket was stuck solid to the block and head. The machine shop vatted it and was able to get it apart. The head is shot. Visible cracks between the valve seats in 3 of the cylinders which...

    Minneapolis Model UTU Heads

    Yes and most folks if a little is good a lot is so much better! I think I will hang it on the hoist and lift it up. I will tap around it with something sharp, ( I too am not a fan and see if it will release. ) If so then can flip it and pull the piston's that way. Thank Goodness my bench is a...

    Minneapolis Model UTU Heads

    I think your right about the gasket. My main issue was it will split at the crank case and block, but not the head and block. Never got a gap there. So I will give the bench a try and pull it in one piece then seperate it later. I will come up slow, and see what happens.

    Minneapolis Model UTU Heads

    Has anybody ever encountered the single head and block assembly not seperating while trying to pull the head off to remove the pistons? I have split the tractor and pulled the engine out and have it up on my bench. It seems that the last time it was taken apart someone must have either used...
