    Alternator conversion to 1 wire

    Hello Michford, I'm having issues with my alternators also. My local Napa has the alternator you used and I can get it tomorrow. Can you tell me how you wired it just to be sure? Also, is your battery still charging properly? Thank you and have a great day.

    How can they replace the barrel on this swing cylinder with the pivots on it? I can see cutting the end off but not the front part. Thank you for your insights.

    Okay, that sounds less painful. I took a picture of the barrel. You can see what Im referring too. Resize the photo with your fingers. It looks like glazing. What do you think?

    Swing Cylinder Packing Gland removal

    HI Fritz, I was over thinking this having never pulled a cylinder apart before. I pulled the packing out one piece at a time from the backside of the gland and then the front collar piece came right out. I pulled the left swing cylinder and disassembled it to check the chrome rod and thank...

    Well the chrome rod is slightly bent in the middle and there is definitely some damage to the rod like skid marks along the shaft as well as a hair line groove cut around the rod in that location. I contacted Messicks to locate one as well as contacted Complete Hydraulics about 30 minutes...

    1963 4140 - Loader Hydraulic manifold leaks!

    I bought the tractor last June. I got everything up there in my 1984 Ford Bronco 351 Windsor. I removed the hardtop and took out the back seats so it was like a pickup truck. I rebuilt the Bronco and did the bodywork too. It has great 4wd.

    My off grid home and view... I built this in 2018 then sold my big house. Yeah, age is catching up. Maintaining the half mile driveway can be physically demanding when the plow truck gets stuck. I also have to clean off the solar panels after a snow storm or bring out the generator to charge...
