    MF 165 water pump removal

    Anybody have a secret to getting water pump out of tractor after unbolting? The right side looks like I could remove generator and wiggle it out; left side looks to have more room if I could remove the crank case ventilation tube from the tappet cover. so which way do you guys do it? or is there...

    Okay guys (and gals) quick survey on where we all stand on Dynahoes? Going to look at a 160 this morning and thought I'd ask for you all's opinions good or bad. Probably hold off on making a decision for a day to mull it over. Thanks for any input. JD

    Thinking out loud -TO30 head gasket

    Hi gang, my little Fergy is a barn find that took a bit of time to get up and running. It runs great now, but I noticed the other day some antifreeze weeping out between block and head. Not very much but still not a good sign. It stopped weeping after the tractor warmed up and I see no cloudy...

    Battery charger hand tools

    Since more and more of you folks are using battery operated tools I thought I'd relate something that happened to me the other day; incase it happens to one of you or even better prevent it from happening. Was in a hurry and went to swap out the discharged battery with the charged one (we're...

    paint schemes TO30

    Hey gang, I have a 1952 Ferguson TO-30 that is pretty much factory original, well as far as I can tell, including the paint. The paint is faded and chalky with what I'd call a robin's egg blue color over equally faded red paint/primer. The engine is a cream color. All I've ever seen are painted...

    More on 1650

    as in: am I a moron for thinking about buying this tractor? He wants a little north of a bone for it. He doesn't know much about it, took it in on trade, looks to have had a hard life. Doesn't run but turns over and he says gets fuel & spark (hmm). Rear tires aren't good but I've seen...

    Carb 1650

    Hey gang, just wondering if somebody would know what carburetor the thing would have left the factory with? It's serial number starts 193xxx so I'm thinking 1967ish model. Has what looks to be maybe Zenith on it right now, definitely not original though. Any thoughts anybody? Thanks, JD.

    plastic guage dumb question

    So the earlier post got me thinking -and I'm probably going to show off my youthful ignorance here, but just how did people determine bearing clearance before plastic gauge? Ever since I've been turning wrenches it's always been available. Just wondering, heck maybe even just forgot. JD

    Flywheelers South Haven this weekend?

    Anybody going to it? If you are, stop by and say hi to Mark. Heck have him on a bit if you like and insist he's Jimmydog. It'd be a hoot if you did. I've mentioned this forum to him before but with a little prodding I think we could finally get him to join. He'll be easy to spot, he's a bit of a...

    Amortization of chain saw cost

    Hi all, I was bucking up a tree in the side yard a couple weeks back when all of a sudden it got real loud. The hex-head cap screws that hold the muffler assembly on had worked loose. One of the cap screws and the spark arrester where already missing and as I only had a little more cutting to go...

    to30 coil question

    Hi guys! Some of you may already have seen my post up on the tractor talk board, but this is my first time down in this section. I'm looking foward to meeting some more fine folks with the same ethusiasm for fergies as I've been infected with. So I just got around to ordering some parts for it...

    I blame you guys!

    I didn't even know what a TO-30 was until I started hanging around on this forum. Now I own one! As you can see mine came with JD-LA115 attachment. I believe that's not OEM but some after market part. JD

    Talking about generators

    I wasn't going to post this, as it'll be a while before I have the time to monkey with it, but since you guys are on this topic already: I have a B&S Elite Series 6200watt generator that is my back-up. I occasionally loan it out to friends when their power goes out. Well when it came back...

    OT: Raccoon relocation program?

    Cold and rainy here so I'm goofing off on the old computer. I was posting to a chicken question which got me remembering something that happened several years back.
