    little genius plow

    We had a Farmall A (44) that would regularly pull a little genius with a rope pull to the trip lever. I believe is was with 12 inch furrows but could have been 14 inch. The 100 has an extra horsepower or two from the A.

    Tractor paint

    You are correct. Lacquer is not a friend to gasoline. Enamel with a bit of hardener in it is the way to go. Your local paint shop could mix some for you in a fairly large sized rattle can. Check with them.

    Counterweight for my 8N Dearborn

    Ballast in tires is best for added weight. Most of the tire weights are calcium chloride. Water softener salt. Tire shops has special pumps for injecting this and it s horribly corrosive. A good alternative is antifreeze like windshield washer. A friend has many tire loaded with motor...

    MAC Tools Vice

    That was a great vice. Had one similar. Had a flat anvil for lighter duty anvil jobs. (brake linings etc.) Good swivel base and the bottom now was designed to grip iron pipe. When used as designed they were the cat's purr. How many farmers, backyard mechanics used things as they were...

    check front rim straightness

    I had a Farmalll A, with a bit of a wobble. Used a hydraulic jack to tweak the rim with the help of a few 2x4s and a few creative press points It worked. Any competent machine shop could do the job for you. Jim Nicholson has a very good description of how to check for roundness

    The Old wheelhorse still at it

    That is a fine looking old wheel horse. For what you have invited in it, go for a set of brakes, or check the adjustment on yours. Brakes should work. only reason they won't is they are worn out or out of adjustment.

    JD 345 Mower Height Adjuster?

    Something has not been connected. Try an electrical connection. They are supposed to be a hydraulic lift powered by electric or a hose has been disconnected. Try the John Deere site for a picture or schematic of the control linkage Kris

    Lawnmowers and broken windows

    I have had that happen as well. The mower does not care which direction you are driving. Change your direction of driving. The discharge will be to the outside no matter which direction but suspect you are circling. try rows perpendicular to the windows you want to avoid. A plexiglass...

    Molboard Plowing pattern in field with fencerows?

    plowing circular on the headlands could be done. If you need to get into a corner the old trailer plows can be backed up for a short distance. not the most fun experience and you might learn a different vocabulary but it can be done. Flying Belgian has the right idea. a few passes with the...

    Sticky valve s on 48 H Farmall

    same way you would a car. It is an internal combustion engine. So is a car or truck for that matter. If it were mine I would take off the valve cover,(five minutes or less) make sure everything in the valve train is clear, use good penetrating oil on the lifters and moving parts and you...
