    Chicken Predation Part Deux

    Well, 41 laying hens so far this month, last post was on 4/8/16. Set up trail camera and got a great picture of large male red fox sniffing Connibear trap at small door to hen house (will try to post). But we all know foxes only kill for food not for fun, right? WRONG, Thursday evening at dusk...

    John deere R what to look for?

    The R had a different srarting (pony) motor than the later tractors. Make sure it operates properly. Parts will be hard to find (if avail.). All pony engine parts are expensive, R pony parts will be even more expensive if you can find them. Check it for blow-by and other signs of wear...

    4440 issues

    All diesel engines with wet sleeves (not cast with the block) will have this problem if the coolant is not properly maintained. Ask for records and check the current coolant, if you don't have a test kit take a sample to your dealer. Engines that have worked at high speeds/load factors will...

    4.3 L GMC

    Better touch wood as I'm saying this but I have one with 62,000 miles on it with no leaks as you describe. If they are charging you I'd try another dealer or repair shop. With all of the problems I hope they are providing a loaner vehicle for you to drive.

    ? for Deere fans

    The current logo with the legs/feet under the animlal and deere leaning back is to represent the deere leaping forward. So we were told when the new logo came out.

    Triple axle Gooseneck one tire wearing uneven

    You can get a ballpark measurement of alignment with a string. Race car people are always changing alingment and many check alignment this way. I'd also crawl under the trailer and check the distance between each axle on both sides. You might have somebody follow you down the road and see if...

    329 combine engine - low oil pressure

    John Deere 830, Drawbar - Part # R1318R

    If nobody is able to help you an ad in the "Wanted" section of Two Cylinder Club's magazine should be able to find you one. I have not used them but DeeeresForever in southern Indiana should have one. They have been selling parts from these tractors on Fleabay. They have a Web site.

    1960 JD 435 diesel

    Try Donaldson, any heavy duty truck dealer should have a Donaldson catalog. You also might try a construction equipment dealer that sold equipment with 53 series engines (back in the day) they may be able to help. Trouble is most of the people from back then are retired. You also might try a...

    Trees dying - any ideas?

    There is some kind of bore killing Ash trees. Your County Extension Agent will know details. The state of Illinois has signs advising people not to transport Ash firewood out of fear of this insect. It is a huge problem if they wipe out the Ash tree population. Baseball bats and handles of...

    You have an air leak someplace causing it to lose its prime. I suppose you already knew this.

    OT Old Fire Truck Collectors?

    You might try Mr. Taylor at Taylor Machine Works in Louisville, MS. It has been several years since I have been there but he has a large collection of antique Fire Equipment. If he does not want it I bet he knows someone that does.
