    Advisement for a good old Row Crop Tractor

    Thanks for the correction. I once had a MF 95 tricycle-type, I thought it was a 90 till you jogged my memory.

    To35 tires

    Tractor tire sizes were changed about 3x years ago. The same numbers have different actual measurements. Do you homework. I got caught in that and wound up with rears that appeared way under-sized. https://forums.yesterdaystractors.com/threads/tire-size-conversion-chart.654951/...

    Nuts For Horse Drawn Wagon

    A much simpler method is to tighten the nut as desired, then use a center-punch and hammer to bend the threads right at the nut. This way the nut can be further tightened as needed and the threads punched again.

    Nuts For Horse Drawn Wagon

    If you never want the nut/bolt connection to loosen, use red LocTite. It requires heat of 500°F or more to loosen.

    CHECK YOUR INSURANCE COVERAGE

    Watched a couple on TV that used to have a house in Palasades, I say used to because they said their insurance co. cancelled their policy just before Christmas, their house burned last week. Their feeling of helplessness was very obvious.

    CHECK YOUR INSURANCE COVERAGE

    Just last month my homeower insurance co. sent me the substantiating documents to prove my replacement cost was $283/SF and requested pmt of an additional $113/yr. I can foresee the ins. co. asking for even more money next year after the CA fire claims begin being paid.

    Cutting off parting

    Spring action of holder; I had straight holders that didn't pickup vibrations. I used a 4-way solid post. Been retired for 25 years so I'm having to wake up my memory bank. I centered my parting tool by using my pocket scale. I ran the slide in until the tool would hold the scale exactly...

    Has anybody else seen pricing trends changing.

    How about 82_. I sold my Super M about 2004, along with a MF 135 continental, and a H.F. 30 to a collector. Now I'm down to my M.F. 451 W/FEL. Old iron is attractive, but @ 82 hyds. and power steering rule. I've seen old restored iron sell for much less than the restore costs.

    Casualty of an inch of ice

    Naah; some duck-tape, baling wire and a BFH can fix that, might never work right again, but it's fixed. An act of Nature; no insurance co. pays. Sorry for your loss.
