    1944 b

    I second this. Had a distributor on my B and got advice to replace it with a mag and it was the right thing to do.

    Shop Floor

    Back when I had my own heating/cooling business, when I did floor heat it was always 2" pink foam boards under the concrete and the same for 2' down around the outside perimeter of the foundation. Most of my customers had the floor heat at 60 to 65 degrees running electric boilers on off peak...

    Swallow problem

    A few years back, a bridge or barn must have gotten knocked down because my Mom's house suddenly was the target of hundreds of swallows. After many different attempts at different methods, the one thing that kept them away was stapling plastic grocery sacks under the eaves and gables where the...

    Cordless impact wrench

    My son has a Milwaukee and I have a Dewalt, they are pretty much the same as to what they can do. So, as others have said, choose the battery platform. My son likes his Milwaukee and I like my Dewalt, but he has expressed that Dewalt has some tools that Milwaukee does not.

    Hit by a Drunk drivers

    A piece of advice, don't be in a hurry to settle on the tractor, your injury is a separate matter in which you shouldn't be in a hurry to settle either. But the tractor is very negotiable, when the other party is at fault. Now they likely found some sort of book value and offered you that, and...

    John Deere B Power Lift oil

    Some people seem to think that Hy-Gard possesses magical properties. Don't get me wrong, Hy-Gard has its place and as I understand it, is vital to maintain certain system components, like brakes, when they started to place them in transmissions. But there is nothing in a two-cylinder hydraulic...

    Trailer flats

    Likewise with my experience with Vevor. I've ordered more food equipment than tools, but nothing has given me cause for complaint, actually, if anything, I've gotten more than expected. But this comes with a caveat, I don't expect super high quality, if I need that I buy it. But for minimal...

    80 Diesel

    Both my Rs do that when not running hard too. As Tx Jim said, it is common for diesels to do that under little load. It's often referred to as wet stacking. On my Rs, there are radiator dampers to keep the engine temp up under cool weather and low load. Not sure if the 80 has them too or not

    Antique refrigerators, got one?

    I kind of get a kick out of people being afraid when their find out a fridge has a "dangerous" refrigerant in it. Take the ammonia ones, although not used domestically for many years, they remained a staple in RVs because they use a heat generator instead of a compressor and thus can operate on...

    Antique refrigerators, got one?

    One type of refrigerator uses ammonia as a refrigerant, which would definitely take your breath away.

    Wood stove forge question/ideas

    Lots of smiths use charcoal for heating their work, so embers with natural draft will work, but as he says, just takes longer.

    Hot freezer compressor

    There always seems to be a ton of speculation about how a refrigeration system works and what is best for increased efficiency. Probably what almost everyone, who doesn't actually know how the process works, gets wrong is that it is heat transfer based on the principle of latent heat. Latent...

    Update on Sputters, dies, then restarts

    Had a similar issue with a JD A. Found the plug, that you use on a plastic gas can in place of the nozzle, in the tank which was randomly blocking gas flow out of the tank. Only found it after much frustration checking the carb and sediment bowl several times.

    Metal barn roof repair

    Over the years I have seen good sound installation practices abandoned by manufacturers because they can't trust all installers to use good sense. Screws in the ridges make sense, but you have to be smart enough to stop screwing before you collapse the ridge. Since there are not smart roofers...

    JD 730 PTO clutch shaft oil seal replacement

    If the PTO housing is over full, before committing to removing the rockshaft to replace the seals, make sure the higher level isn't due to water.

    Diesel anti gel (Power service) treatment longevity.

    I've got a couple tractors that see similar use and have had no issues with condensation or degradation of treatment. And while condensation CAN be an issue, there is no certainty that it WILL be an issue. Weather conditions vary a great deal across our membership area, so what can be...

    What KIND of solder?

    I use that kind of solder a lot, but on copper to copper or copper to brass. The little bit of silver in it helps it flow better, makes a stronger joint and bridges better, which is to say it can fill in a small gap when a joint fits loosely. But what the OP is doing is trying to solder...

    What KIND of solder?

    First off, regarding soldering in general, if the metal being soldered is hot enough to melt the solder when the solder is in contact with the metal, it's hot enough. Second, are you sure about the metal types being soldered? The new neck does appear to be cast iron, but the upper tank on the...

    What type of anvil do I have?

    I would be hesitant to call it an anvil as it essentially has no usable table. I would tend to think it is a specialized version of a forming cone.
