    WD9 cross shaft return spring - 52 176 DC

    Got my magneto insalled and coarsely timed, and the big spring that hooks on behind the carb broke when I bumped it. Since it controls pretty much everything, I didn't try starting the tractor til I can hunt one down. I lookd through the parts book and service manual and can find no specs...

    Looking for gas-start magneto for WD-9

    Got my WD-9 in from ND, and I've been cleaning up the fuel system. Finally got clean gas to the carb, and no spark. Some PO had wire in an external coil. I wasn't getting fire, so I ordered a new coil, points, condense, rotor, and cap. Welll, when I opened her up ther was no coil in the...

    Farmall B parts on an A

    What is involved in switching an A to a Narrow Front? Is it simply removing the wide front and bolting on the B pedestal for the front wheels? I have a line on a cheap A, and want to make another mowing tractor out of it. I have a Woods L306 belly mower that will fit. Thanks, Alan

    Belt length for a Woods L306

    I just bought a used Woods L306 that came of a Farmall C. I'm going to mount it on a Farmall H, and I have a couple of questions. Does the belt length vary with tractor? I know there are several users here running this combination. What is the length I need to run this mower on an H...

    Tractos to avoid...

    I play on team Red AND team Green - and enjoy both. I grew up flogging Fords and MF's around the farm in La., and consider them good brands. I have JD and Farmall's that I use, but none is "pretty". My wife said I can have a pretty one for Christmas, for trail rides, parades, etc. I'm...

    So THAT'S what compressiion feels like! 8)

    I bought a Farmall H back in March, literally drug it out of a fence row. I tuned it up, and have been using it to put around the place and move trailers, etc, but nothing that would put any kind of consistent load on it. Grass on the back of the place got away from me due to rain and a bout...

    JD 50 brake drum removal - rusted TIGHT

    I've got my winter project home, but I need to be able to move it around. It is a '54 JD 50, and the left brake is locked up tight. I loosened the nut and removed the lock and spacer washers from the shaft, and I tapped the shaft in about 1/2", per the book. Then it stopped. It doesn't...

    And so it begins: 50 basket case

    I will try to get some pics up. I'm starting on a 50 that probably should go to scrapper. I bought it for high scrap price, and it has full set of cultivators, Power-trol, and transmission pto. One rear rim is rusted out at valve stem, other looks solid. will try to air the tires up and...

    Is there a 38" Rim that will fit both Farmall and Deere

    I have the old tractor bug bad, and wound up with both a Farmall H and a JD 50. The H has ugly but usable rims, and the tires hold air, but are cracked badly. The 50 has a couple of holes rusted in the rim, and the tires are pretty much rotted off. I'm planning on trying to patch the JD...

    Deere Crawlers - any 2-cyl?

    Did Deere make any 2-cyl crawlers besides the M/40/420/430? I could have sworn one time I saw a medium-sized horizontal diesel on a construction site, but that was also 25 or so years ago.

    Rear rim repair on a 50 Deere

    Have a chance to buy a 50 that has sat in the same place for 20-25 years. At least 1 rim is rotted in a 3" patch where it makes ground contact. Might be both, but acacia tree and yellow jacket nest precluded looking last night. I have a Farmall H patched in the same style, right around...

    350U is coming along...

    I took the add down for my 350U LP. Moving in w/ new wife and heart attack have left me little time to work w/ it, but finally getting to clean some stuff up. Finally got the fill cap for the hydraulics loose. Took a 3/4" breaker bar on a GOOD close-fitting socket to do it. Heat and...

    Cracked exhaust on my 350U LP

    Welding or brazing on the exhaust? Or do I depend on the choice of the shop I pick to do the work? [/img][/url]

    Belly mower for C on an H

    Realizing that given enough time and resources ANYTHING is possible, how hard do you think it be to put a Danco bellymower for a C on an H? It is off a wfe C, and won't fit a tricycle front. I'm betting the H is enough longer that it should fit easily, and just hang from the frame rails. If...

    IH 350U LP for sale in classifieds

    Due to lack of time and no place to put it, I've got my 350U up for sale in the classifieds. Steering is very good shape. I don't think it has done anything but mow the yard at the LP dealer I bought it from since it was new. Fast hitch, TA, power-adjust wheels, rustoleum brush paint job...

    Cranking an M

    Have a local M cheap, not running, and no winch on trailer. I figure borrowing the magneto off my H and a strap on gas tank will get me 2 of the 3 magic items needed to get it to run. Assuming no stuck valves, cracked head, etc, I'm confident I can get it going in a couple of hours. My...

    Mowing tires for H?,,

    Been having visions of sticking a 6' or 7' finish mower behind my '39 H by hooking to the drawbar. My tires are very cracked anyway, so I'm thinking about trying to locate some used tires for back and putting truck tires on front. Would the more modern, wider 38" tires fit those old rims...

    Tractor safety and WF vs NF ( Release the HOUNDS!)

    Bought my first narrow front tractor last month, and I have a few thoughts. Some of you have been driving them longer than I've been alive, so take this with a grain of salt. :D I've always heard that a NF tractor was less stable/more dangerous than a WF tractor, especially running a...
