    best bench setup for drill bit sharpening

    I wouldn't waste money on any drill sharpening stuff other than a drill poing gage, about $10 to 35 depending on the brand and quality. Then hole a d3/8 or 1/2 in. drill up to your wheel with the wheel not turning and get used to the angle. I like a belt sander and use the verticle plate between...

    WD brake removal

    You drill and tap the end of the pin, you can just get a drill under the axle straight. You might have someone sight the drill to help you get it straight. You want to pull the pin to the outside of the tractor, towards the wheel.You will be working under the axle housing which isn't the most...

    Well, hoping I did a smart thing

    It is difficult to get all the CC out of a tube unless you have the tube out of the tire and rinse it a frw times with a few gallons of water each time. The WD I am working on has had CC in it, I got rid of most of it, the rims are shakey looking. I will be taking them apart at some point after...

    your advice - tool recommendation

    Any time I didn't buy a quality power tool in a few years I was back buying a quality power tool because the lesser one burned out or someother such problem. So I have to add the cost of the first tool to what I should have bought in the first place. It is cheeper to buy quality the first time...

    WD brake removal

    I forgot to mention that if you grind a little off of the end of the pin you can now drill and tap, they are case hardened as was pointed out. Let us know how it goes.

    I-400 worth?

    I suppose that fact that you would be getting a backhow counts for something, but I would consider a tractor with a stuck engine a "parts tractro" in valut. It might take a complete engine rebuild whcih could cost $1000 in parts along. And what else doesn't work that you can't tell about because...

    Allis B clutch linings

    If it didn't slip before it is probably OK. Unless you are planning on using it a LOT it may last a long time, and it isn't that hard to replace later.

    Well, hoping I did a smart thing

    You will like the WD. It has about 8-10 more hp thatn the H. The first thing to do is to change all of the oils. Engine, hydraulic, transmission, and final drives. The final drives are especially important as they are uaually overlooked and the oil in them can be pretty nasty. Get a new boot for...

    WD brake removal

    I may be one of those who wrote one of the posts in the archives. If they are really rusted in you will not get them to twist.I have had visegrips clamped on TIGHT, hammered on them to bread them loose, even drove them in to bread them loose, and no twisting. DO NOT CUT THEM OFF you man not be...

    Totally O/T Just fer you old guys (and gals)

    I gotta say not bad for a guy with red tractors. No, Really, MORE, MORE!! Just great. I have down loaded it to "My music" and it just might inspier me to try "burning" it to a disc so I can take it with me in the truck and play it on the stereo upstairs too. I may learn some new computer skill...

    drill press

    I have to agree that low rpm is more impoetant thatn hp. I too agree that 150 rpm would be good. You may have to look a bit or pay a little more though. Most of the $200 drill presses in the tool catalogs are in the $200 range on sale. You will enjoy the lower speed though when you want to push...

    My first new pickup

    Just about 2 years ago I ordered a Dodge 2500 with the 5.7 engine, 6 sp manual, delete box, crusie control, limited slip rear end, and sliding rear window. With rebates, $500 farm burear discount, the price I was able to get it down to was 20,100. Has been good so far. Only about 14000 mi...

    Another Oil Pressure Question

    I have noted a decrease in oil pressure sometimes on a very cold engine. I think the oil is just too thick to pump and flow properly. If it is very cold I tend to drive away very slow and easy for a mile or two until things start to warm up just a little. If oil gets old and diluted it can get...
