    Farmall M band brake issue

    So installing the brakes on my ‘42 M the band locks up as soon as I tighten up the cover screws. The one already installed has about 2/3 a turn of the arm from full open to full tight which is the same on this one until I tighten the cover. Any ideas what is hanging up?

    Farmall M - Starting Rebuilt Motor

    I can't get the thing to spin. Jumping the starter at 6 volts wouldn't engage the pinion so I went with a 12 volt jump and all it does it spin it about a quarter of a turn. The motor is a little tight and even with plugs out I can only spin it without a wrench near TDC but can pretty easily...

    M - Generator Bracket

    Putting a stock 6V generator in place. Lower bracket holding the pulley aligned with the one from the pump so I think that is right. The top bracket is the non-adjustable type. Where does it go from - Thermostat housing (there is blank hole on the back) or the top water pump bolt? In either...

    M - Narrow Front Axle Parts

    Could someone explain the parts on the lower hub; the diagram doesn't seem to quite match up or the part names are a bit confusing. I took it apart like this; cover removed outer bearing then hub then inner bearing then a retainer then a felt seal and I left the dust ring in place. I am...

    M - upper bolster shaft seal

    Anyone have any idea how to install the thing? Resting it on a socket on an extension and trying to lift it in to place seems to be futile. Also it is nothing like the original solid piece (it's hollow with a small inner sear).

    M - valve stem hairspring retainers

    Anyone know where you can pick these up? Seems like it should be a pretty generic thing but I can't seem to find them anywhere. This is just the little clip that keeps the valve stem from falling through if the key gives way. Part # is 41 349 D (part 34 in the diagram). I saw somewhere that...

    M - Bolster Seals

    Once I clean out the grease that had been used in the steering gear I am replacing the seals and running oil. Does the horizontal seal need to be driven into place from underneath? How about the lower felt seal, just put it on top of the bolster shaft when installing?

    M - Best Piston/Cylinder Supplier

    I think I am going to break down and get a new set as finding a matching piston or set + new rings + running my old sleeves and pins isn't worth all the trouble I have put into it and would only save me a little money. Where is the best place to get 4" high stepped cylinders and pistons that...

    M - Radiator Fit

    I just received a radiator for my M and wanted to test the fit against the grille and noticed the mounting holes on the grille are about an inch higher than the holes in the radiator. The grille contacts the overflow tube on the radiator and it seems like if that weren't the case the grill would...
