    Rear main seal puzzle

    Thanks, gentlemen. It's my nephew's tractor, and the only one we can make usable for his dry bean harvest without a lot of hours of fab work, changing wheel spacing, etc. After reading your replies we've decided to do all the main bearings to snug things a little (after all, they usually...

    Rear main seal puzzle

    Perkins 6.354 with about 4800 hours. It sits far more than it's used. We replaced the seal about 60 working hours ago and put a speedysleeve on the crank due to some grooving, and it recently started leaking badly again. Pulled the engine today and found the seal lips melted with a layer stuck...

    Cold cold iron up north

    Looks like you have a few projects to put an end to your spare time or spare money, whichever ends first. Not a criticism; I'm in the same boat.

    The new green seems to be ORANGE

    Thank you. Kubota just fell a few notches in my book. No matter how well they seem to work now, if they aren't designed for long use and logical repairs. Hmmm.

    Super 88 electric PS

    The ECU is needed for making the unit work. It looks at the difference between what the steering wheel is asking for and the position of the output side of the steering shaft, then applies a suitable amount of torque via the electric motor to make the shafts align. If the ECU fails, the input...

    I was not sure it was gonna make it

    Nice pic, Rockyridge. If winter is defined by snow, it's come and gone here a few times already. The snow currently here is due to melt again today, leaving mud I wish would just freeze and be over with until March. As they say in Minnesota: "Could be worse." I don't like mud, but my...

    Tractor swap

    The trades (or sales) where everyone is happy are always good. What do you have planned for the Ford?

    One for svcummins

    Leave it to the Aussies. Looks like they used the grill of a letter series Farmall, put 600 horses behind it, then mixed Ferguson red and Allis orange to paint it.

    Funny

    Geo, that was so bad, it's nearly good. I use a shop vac, so it keeps my dirt in the dark.

    The new green seems to be ORANGE

    fdt860, the old saying "the bigger they are, the harder they fall" comes to mind. Saw an episode of Farm Kings on RFDTV about a decade ago in which they went to hook something to the 3pt of their month old JD, and the 3pt wouldn't lift. I worked for a while in the early 90's at a farm that...

    C113/123 head /valve questions

    Thanks for the heads-up, Jim. I know, and suspect he's well aware of setting sleeve protrusion. It appears he wrote that into the estimate. I'll double check that he knows the spec dimension when I drop off the rebuild parts.

    Funny

    I find it a sad realization that while I get older by the day, more of my peers don't. Guess that happens when we get beyond old and approach ancient.

    New Year's Resolution - Tractor related

    I'm resolving to not make resolutions, especially about tractors or implements and the funds needed to make them as good as I'd like to. I find just keeping up with what goes wrong with them when you rely on them for regular work is costly enough. On the other hand, it's really, really hard...

    Hello! New to this

    Welcome, Tallswife. Sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. Originally, the tractor would have had a 6v battery You can tell by counting the cell caps. If it has 3, it's 6 volt. If it has 4 caps, it's 8 volt. If it has 6 caps (or no visible caps), it's been converted to 12 volt. As...
