    12 volt dc motor speed control for honey extractor?

    Maybe a little off tractor topic, but with the expertise here, I thought I would get your opinions. I'm a beekeeper, and I have a 9 frame spinning extractor that is currently hand cranked. I wanted to put an electric motor on it to spin the honey, but the store bought version is $800. I use 12...

    Brake master cylinders dripping on JD 2755

    The brake master cylinder on my John Deere 2755 SGB is dripping a little bit of hydraulic oil in the floorboard. I see where you can buy seals, but I do not know how to replace them. Is that something that a guy with above average mechanical ability can do? Or do I pull the unit and have it...

    Dripping brake master cylinder 2755 SGB

    The brake master cylinder on my 2755 has been dripping in my floorboard for quite a while. I would like to fix it. Is that something I can do myself? Do I fix it in place or take it out? Are there rebuilt units? I am a pretty good mechanic and have plenty of tools. Thanks.

    Chrysler slant six in farm equipment?

    I watched a Youtube video yesterday about the slant six. The guy said it was used in a lot of industrial applications. I was wondering if the slant six found its way into farm equipment.

    Kohler gen., 1967, what do you call this type of transformer

    I posted on the Smokstak forum, asking for information on what you called this type of transformer, but did not get an acceptable answer. I know that some of you guys are electrical engineers.

    What do you like to use on exhaust manifold bolts?

    I'm getting ready to put the exhaust manifold on my 1967 Kohler 4 cylinder flathead. I got some grade 8 flange bolts like someone here suggested. The original bolts were not in great shape. I like to use Never Seize on stuff like this. What do the YT experts say?

    Who can repair an old school voltage regulator?

    I have a Ford 4000 4 cylinder with a 12 volt system. I have never found a voltage regulator that would hold up even a year. I bought a new old stock Fomoco regulator on Ebay, but it does not seem to work. I have looked for someone to check/fix this regulator, but cannot find anyone. Does anyone...

    Back working on my 1967 Kohler L600 flathead 4 cylinder engine. I bought it all new valves because the old exhaust valves were trashed and the old intake valves had rust and pitting. The book calls for the valve guides (cast iron) to be .312 - .313. One of the exhaust valve guides is on the...

    Need 6.5 KW generator advice, damaged brush holder.

    I am still working on my 6.5 KW Kohler 4 cylinder gasoline L600. It looks like sometime in the past, and likely the event that sidelined this generator, was a 120 volt AC brush that hung and burned, or burned and hung, or overheated, or something that destroyed the brush, the brush tension...

    Surface rust on steel connecting rods, engine sat up

    I finally got the oil pan off the Kohler L600 generator I have been working on. It is an inline flathead engine with cast iron pistons, and apparently steel connecting rods.
