    Calcium or Antifreeze/water in the tires?

    Unless your other such thing that needs a lot of traction I'd leave them empty or going to do a lot of plowing use winter grade wiper fluid That's what I did for my 640 - made all the difference in the world. RE58

    Lifting 16 ft poles into hole solo

    Take this for what's worth - IMHO 1) Safety FIRST! 2) You do NOT have the proper equipment to do the job SAFELY 3) Hire a mobile crane/operator for 4 hours and be done with it RE58

    welding root pass?

    Example of seal and stitch - what can I say.... I'm bored. It's raining in east central coast Florida and I need something to do... It should be obvious that the sides that you cant see would be typical of the sides you can. RE58

    welding root pass?

    This is how I'd weld it if I was doing this - some may agree, some not. Three passes all around I consider excessive based on the amound of weld area that you have. If you want to weld a seal weld, single pass all the way around you could do it with a single pass. If you have the ability to bolt...

    welding root pass?

    Please excuse my feeble attempt at the newest Paint 3D program, but I'm trying. Looking at the last pic, I assume that the cut lines will be where the red line is (2-places, left and right), and the backing plate is the blue shaded area. If that is the case, suggest that you either overlap the...

    welding root pass?

    firhead - pics are worth a thousand words, drawings/blueprints even more. Without seeing anything else I really can't opine further. If able to put the filet on both sides, all the better. If you can supply some sort of pic/dwg I'd be happy to further opine. Three passes with 1/8 LH on 3/8 to...

    welding root pass?

    Agree with some/most, but not with others You mentioned a filet weld - are you talking about 1/4 to 1/4?, 1/4 to 3/8?. or 3/8 to 3/8?? And, what kind of stress Some mentioned E6010 (also known as 5P), that's a pipeline rod for root welds, and in some instances, the cap. E7018 (also known to some...

    Stuck Clutch What's the solution besides splitting?

    I had the same issue with my 56 640, tried everything mentioned to get it unstuck but was unsuccessful. Finally found a guy in Central Missouri that was able to get it unstuck for minimal coin. When asked how he did it he just chuckled - secret tool.... Anyway, designed a hold down bracket out...

    1955 660 Ford

    Your clutch plate(s) are either bonded (stuck) to your flywheel, pressure plate or both. I had the same thing happen to me and was fortunate to find an old tractor mechanic that was able to unstick the clutch plates from one or both. He then ran the tractor for approx. 8 hours bush hogging and...

    Old Tractor ....Old Man?

    Some people spend 20 years trying to get off a tractor, and then, the next 40 trying to get back on one. The therapeutic properties of tractor time can not be understated.... and, much less understood This one is mine and is 2 years older than I am - I look forward to tractor time I go back...

    Rimguard

    Is anyone know of a tire company in central Missouri (Columbia, Sedalia, or Springfield area) that handles Rimguard?
