    450 will not restart after it is warmed up

    Tractor belongs to my neighbor. I think it is an electrical problem. The battery is to low to start the tractor and I think the battery is not being charged correctly by the generator. We talked about polarizing the regulator and tightening the belt. He thinks it is a gas issue. I told him...

    cold start DT-436

    I have a 966 (414 engine) that I comfortably start unassisted down to about 30 to 35F. Any colder than that I will plug it in. It probably will start colder than that without plugging in, but I never tried. Wayne

    owatonna 95 grinder

    I think Owatonna mills are Artsway mills. I might be wrong, but it might be available from them. Is it something that can be made locally. It would probably be cheaper.

    cold starting and fuel gelling in filters

    Ben, My 966 has a fuel shutoff in the fuel line. If your tractor does not, don't worry. Just spin the filters off one at a time, and you will lose maybe a pint. On mine, the bleeder is on the filter mount on top. Memory says a 7/16 wrench opens it. Open it maybe a turn or a little more until...

    ? Ford 300-6 engine in various farm equipment?

    I had a New Holland self propelled baler with one. Memory fails me little, but I think it was a 1465. Wayne

    cold starting and fuel gelling in filters

    At -30 your fuel is gelled. Also is likely the filters haven't been changed for while. You should change the filters, bleed them, put a GOOD diesel antigel in the fuel(Power Service is good one to use) put 50% or more #1 fuel in the tank at those low temperatures, warm up the engine with the...

    Save the world????

    To use the laws of thermodynamics, be sure to use all components of the formula. In this case add sunlight (photosynthisis), soil bacteria and water. In a hay crop, sunlight and water is over 80% of the yield. Likely something similar occurs for corn. Wayne

    Hauling NI 305 Mounted Picker

    FWIW years ago I saw a homemade cart type of mount that allowed mounted pickers to be rolled on small wheelbarrow type wheels. It takes some welding and steel cutting to fit the picker. Another way would be to hire a boom truck to lift it onto your trailer. Be sure to brace the upper end of the...

    V.O.T: inlaws visiting

    WD40, Automatic Transmission Fluid, and Dawn soap may help. Wayne

    Current Tractor Hauling Rates

    I haul OTR as my primary occupation, my own DOT Authority, full insurance, paid for truck, and stepdeck trailer. When I have to consider fuel at over $3 a gallon, empty miles to get the load, loaded miles, time and BS arranging the load, loading and unloading, time spent doing paperwork for all...

    a can of worms

    That sounds exactly like the one I had.. Approximately 4000 hours on it. Everything seemed fine. Everything about it was excellent. It started jumping out of gear soon after I got it. Then the powerdirector started slipping. I had the dealer take it in to fix it. $6000 later I got it back. This...

    Anybody know the Hay Dude from Minnesota

    I hauled a load of hay for him from Wisconsin to Oklahoma last winter. I can get you the phone number of the guy he bought from in Wisconsin if you want his reference. Wayne
