    Reusing rings on a c123

    You should spend the time to take a serious look at the oil pump. The bottom plate on those pumps are cast aluminum. They will have wear groves from the pump gears and they warp. There are specs for the gear to plate tolerances and you should buy a new bottom plate gasket from case/IH. All...

    Mice urine smell in car

    Look up the skunk wash for dogs on line. We use it and it works for skunk and it might work for mouse residue. The mixture is: Dawn, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. I am not sure of the ratios. The only down side would be like the Odoban, you have to wash the entire inside of the vehicle...

    Thinking about building a new home?

    With out the stamp from a registered professional structural engine and architect I wouldn't live in it. Unless they are adding some type of rebar or reinforcement as the building is being printed I could see some serious issues with structural integrity particularly in seismic zones. OTJ

    Skid Steer Quick Hitch

    I will have to go out and measure how far my pin protrude from the locking slots in the plate but an inch seams about right. If your pins are around an inch in diameter and you have an inch protruding that is a fair amount of steel. I don't know what implement you are going to use but usually...

    Spraying rust converter

    I just put Ospho converter in a regular spray bottle. It will pretty well trash the sprayer after a couple of weeks. The acid eats the o-rings. As mentioned you have to wipe and rinse after the rust has turned black. If you don't there is a white powder left on the surfaces and paint will...

    Got Tricked

    I have both the old and the new Metabo grinders. The old one is a work horse and you can tell by the weight and feel of it. The new one feels cheaper and lighter. The old one was made in Germany, the new one China. My bet is the old version will out live the new one... OTEJ

    Piston ring end gap.

    I rebuilt the engine in my Farmall A last year. The engine kit that I received had a set of rings that had to large of a gap. Like completely out of spec to large. Got a replacement from the same company and they too were out of spec. Had to order a third set of rings from a different...

    Question on M Seat Shock Action

    I think the new springs are really heavy. I bought one for my C and it was so stiff it would not compress at all. You kept sliding off the seat. I put the old one on and worked way better. I weigh in at about 170lbs so if you are are heavier the new spring would work. OTJ

    Question on M Seat Shock Action

    I took a shock off one of my H's that has been restored just to test it. It is a double action shock. So much for my theory.... OTJ

    Question on M Seat Shock Action

    I am working on an M that has the mid-mount shock on the seat assembly. I am trying to decide if the shock is still good. When I push down on the shock it moves pretty easily but on the rebound its hard to pull just like a shock should. My question, were these designed to be a single action...

    Farmall M Water Pump Packing Nut Thread

    Hello, I am working on restoring an M. I am having problems with the water pump. The packing nut will not thread in to water pump housing easily. I have tried two different packing nuts and you have to put some force on the wrench to get them to even start to hit the packing. From what have...

    Future 1951 Farmall M Restoration

    What I have learned during my many restorations is never throw anything away. Always wait till the restoration is complete and the paint is dry before even thinking about scrapping the old tractor completely. Just saving and reusing the original nuts and bolts if they are still good will save...

    Splitting stand

    I built a stand using the HF tongue jacks also. I bought ones with the flat base. I set the flat base on one of my car dollies on each side if I have to move the tractor around. I would not trust those plastic wheels at all with any tractor. OTJ

    Battery going? Does this pass the smell test?

    I didn't see anywhere in your post about how old the battery is. I would say its a bad battery my self. I always check the connections first. There is another clue that I use to determine if the battery is going. The top of the battery will be a little wet usually around one of the...

    Auto darkining helmet.

    I have a Hobart and a Miller. The Miller is hands down better, but it is twice the price. I used the Hobart for years before number 1 son bought me the Miller. I never had any complaints about the Hobart and I don't remember ever changing the batteries. The Miller does have and appetite for...

    Sand blaster upgrades

    A good vacuum with a variable speed control. If you just use a vacuum at full power it will pull a lot of sand/media out of the blaster. You should do a search on line. There are lots of videos on modifications to these sand blasters. I fabricated a new pick up tube after watching one, it...
