    Ford 860 w/Sherman hoe and loader wgt?

    I am trying to help a family sell and move some vintage equipment. Right now I can't be certain of the model #, but a guess that it is a late 1950's 800 series tractor with a similar vintage Sherman backhoe and front loader It is currently buried under a bunch of barn stuff so can't get photos...

    Replace transfer case 88 Dodge 350

    The 88 Dodge is my older farm truck, but used for snowplowing mostly. It has the heavy duty NP 205 transfer case married to the back of the MOPAR 727 automatic tranny. The transfer case sounds like it is cracking walnut shells and maybe sending some of the pieces through the gears. I have the...

    Paint color for H

    I have been bringing a 1945 H back to life with my grandson as a 4H project. My son bought some IH red paint from Van Sickle, and I sprayed some of the tractor with it. It is way too bright a red color for the H. I went to Sherwin Williams and bought their IH red, it being a bit darker red than...

    TW 10 Power Steering pump

    Our TW 10 is losing PS oil and the engine seems to be gaining oil. I suspect there is an oil seal at the front end of the pump which is failing. Son just checked the price of a rebuilt pump through FNH and finds the price to be over $800. We have sufficient PS oil pressure to give normal and...

    12 V square coil

    I have been working on a customer's early 8N which he regularly beats the H--- out of. He is a 50 YO special needs adult who unwittingly abuses everything. It wouldn't start, so he kept cranking on the starter until the insulation on the + batt cable melted off. And probably left the key "on"...

    8N w/Howard, rear end oil questions

    I am working on a customer's 1947 8N which I have serviced for the last 28 years. It has a Howard tranny behind the main tranny. The Howard has a long shift lever on the right side where the usual round plate with tranny oil dipstick usually sits. On the Howard circular plate, there is also a...

    Aftermarket steering gear box

    For a '47 8N I am working on, I bought the replacement gear box from our host. It is of the late 8N design with the offset arms. The tractor I am working on had the earlier gear box with the straight arms and the flat dash. I knew that I'd have to remove some metal from the flat dash on the left...

    H4 magneto on 1942 H

    I am working on bringing a 42 H back to life with my grandsons. They suggested the project and that makes me quite happy. So.... I have a few questions about the magneto. The tractor has sat outdoors for 10 to maybe 15 years w/o being started, but had been totally reliable prior. When I cranked...

    Partial reply to foul language in public

    I bring this forward to a new post so as to not steal the prior thread. A couple of replies referred to Tourett's syndrome, and this hopefully will shed some light on this little known medical problem. Tourett's Syndrome.. When I was teaching high school, I had 2 notable students with this...

    Farm plate on trailer follow up

    Before the details, I did make the trip to daughter's farm near Lebanon (closer to Richland) MO with the 327 JD baler on the gooseneck trailer, and all went well. I do thank all who responded to my original post and trying to provide your best advice. Trying to research what is permitted and...

    JD 348 baler

    Son just bought a 5 Y.O. seldom used 348 baler about 2 weeks ago. We did the modifications to fit our baling system and tractors. Although the cutting this past week was thin compared to 1st cutting, we raked 2 rows together (26' of cut) and baled yesterday (Nov 10). We had a 328 and a 327 baler...

    MN farm plates on 3 axle gooseneck trailer

    When I bought this trailer earlier this year, I did not expect to pull it beyond the 150 mile radius of our farm. But now I need to deliver a hay baler to daughter's farm near Lebanon MO, about 675 miles. As the home place is in MN, I need to go through IA, and south to I 44 in MO. I can get the...

    Ford 600 truck brakes

    I bought a 1984 F600 and have been wondering about the hydraulic brakes. There is a power steering pump dedicated to the brake booster (I think it's called "hydraboost"). The wheel brakes are out of adjustment so that it takes 2 stabs on the brake pedal to make it stop. Is this brake system...

    JD #30 square bale thrower

    Hey guys, Just learned another lesson in the school of hard knocks (pun intended!). We have used balers with these throwers for decades and just learned another lesson in maintenance. The hydraulic cylinder which activates the thrower pan blew apart by hyper extending while throwing a bale. JD...

    Denso starter follow-up

    I have a customer's 8N here that has a bad starter and worn ring gear. The previous Denso discussion led me to believe that I can solve its problem with the Denso starter that comes into the ring gear from the engine side. So I ordered one. Now the question bothering me... with the original type...

    8N starter solenoid

    My son quite recently replaced the starter solenoid on a customer's front mount 8N. (12 V conversion). It came from NAPA as their store is close. Right out of the box, it has a sticker on it saying "6 V made in China". Customer (Mark... I've talked about him before) had probably flooded the...

    Followup on 8N broken dipstick

    Patience, patience, and more patience. I got it out. If you look carefully at the dipstick, where the anti-rattle wire joins the main part of the D.S., there is a natural weak spot. Most of us have never broken the D.S., but now I can see how it is possible without very much force. When it...

    Ford dealership

    I went in to pick up a few parts and then went to the sales floor. I asked one of the salesmen for a brochure on the new 2016 F 350s so I could start thinking about possibly upgrading from my 02. I was blown away with his response that Ford is no longer publishing sales brochures. "You can get...

    Engine oil dipstick broken in early 8N

    Hi All, The special needs person who I do the maintenance for on his 8N called tonight and said he broke the dipstick off in the engine. At this time I do not know if the broken part has fallen into the oil pan or if it is still in the D.S. tube. I'll find out tomorrow. But if the broken part...

    Bolens Eaton #11 hydrostat in 20 hp 2050 tractor

    My owners manual for this tractor specifies a Bolens part Number for the recommended hydrostat fluid. My smaller older Bolens also with an Eaton #11 hydro specifies 20w-20 oil. I am currently running 15w-40 diesel rated engine oil in the 2000 series 2 speed tractor, but it is losing power as the...
