    Grandpa's WD-45

    I tried that. Maybe I didn't do something right. I'll try again when I get home.

    Grandpa's WD-45

    well for some reason I can't figure out how to post pics. Can I upload pics to the website or do I need to upload to photobucket then link them here?

    Grandpa's WD-45

    I went to Grandma's today and pulled the plugs and took a peek. It looks pretty clean down in the cylinders. I am hoping that it's just the rings that are stuck. I filled the cylinders full of ATF and poured some down the exhaust manifold to coat the back of the valves also. I'll let it soak a...

    Grandpa's WD-45

    Not sure if you skimmed over it but I said I will have the valve cover off when I try to roll the engine over the first time. I will tap all the rockers and everything to make sure it is all free before just cranking it up. Old, I will do as you say and fill the cylinders full of ATF and let...

    Grandpa's WD-45

    If I can fill the cylinders full of ATF and get her broke loose and running with nothing more than a carb rebuild I will go that route. I will pull the valve cover and oil pan to make sure everything is ok there. I bent a couple pushrods on my Deere 2020 that was Grandpa's when I fired her up...

    Grandpa's WD-45

    I will most likely do a full out of frame rebuild since I don't think the old girl has ever been rebuilt. Grandpa was a cattleman and only raised crops the first couple of years they bought their farm so it was used for hay instead of tilling/planting. I guess hours used is hours used but at...

    Update on bull

    Dad bought an Angus bull from Grandpa years ago when I was a kid. Grandparents live about 50 miles south of us by the way the crow flies. Anyway, dad has the bull hauled from Grandpa's to our place and they turn him out of the trailer. He hangs out overnight I think and is gone the next day. I...

    Grandpa's WD-45

    Grandpa passed away years ago and Grandma is 96. I talked her into selling me Grandpa's WD-45 so it wouldn't go to waste sitting in the machine shed. It ran a few years ago but Uncle Bob pulled the water pump to replace it and life got in the way and he didn't get it back together for quite...

    Wheel Bearing Needed

    Have you tried just taking the bearing to the local NAPA or the like? They can usually look it up in the book just by dimensions.

    what hydraulic fluid to use

    From my experience it is much cheaper to spend the money on hydraulic fluid from Deere than to replace a bunch of parts or having to change it multiple times just to get the inferior fluid out. I am all for saving a buck but my Grandpa put Champion fluid in my 2020 when he had it before me...
