    spray paint

    Google Toro new red spray paint and you will find plenty, just be ready to have an overheated credit card.
  3. I'm looking into getting a plow for my C160. Are there any advantages to the slot hitch vs sleeve hitch configuration when plowing? Thanks!
  4. That’s a great idea! Easy way to try out paint colors in your tractor. I need to embrace technology more! lol

    Gears grinding

    These old transmissions do not have synchronizers. All gears must be stopped when shifting.
  7. Do you have access to a pressure gauge?

    Ready for snow?

    We've owned a couple of Jeep CJs and helped several people get un stuck. We've always replied to offers of payment or 'buy ya a drink' offers with a polite 'no, but next time you see someone needing help, stop and pay this forward' comment. The worst stuck was a kid who drove his Dodge Dart onto a Lake Superior beach. We had stopped to take some pictures and found him on the beach, rocker panels deep in the water rounded large gravel beach. The waves were getting close to his front bumper.

  12. One of the relief valves has failed or is jammed open Can't build up pressure beyond the 50-150 psi that feeds the charge pump. You get enough pressure for the charge pump to feed slippers and piston block, they drive the tractor but that pressure is not enough to run the lift it needs 550-750 I would guess it is one of the springs for the implement valve has broken...

    Small Block SG Belt Guard

    2 small blocks on the bench. Closest one is an 8. Had the larger guard with the 3 lines. 3" pulley. Farther one is a 7. Came with no guard. 3 1/8" pulley.
  14. It's fun (and useful) to use Photoshop and AI to try different paint schemes before actually investing the time/money/effort in a new paint job. Here's my New Holland in its current New Holland blue paint, which I like quite a bit, and don't plan to change: Here's a bright green version: Red-orange with flames: It doesn't look too bad in white: Black with chrome wheels would be a mean-looking machine: Bright yellow would stand out from a distance: Plaid, anyone? (you could do this with a vinyl wrap) Bright silver paint:

    Scale model building

    Got the project tanker trailer back on the desk this morning. Last week I used a black marker to accent where all the visible defects and mold lines were in the plastic. Wet sand those marks off. Wash & dry, then recheck the surface. Mark more if needed. I found this method on YT. Seems similar to the way @Achto uses different primer colors to find highs and lows. Works excellent.

    K301 Hard Starting

    @702854boy let me ask you something , how easily do the throttle / choke cables move / slide function ? regularly refer to this very simple start issue , mine both work with total smooth range , have also , detailed in full closure , insuring engine vacuum pull ? my choke pull / seal on carb , ALWAYS gets an instant start . another thing , right after start , it settles right down , would bet you have a number of related issues . REPEDITIVE PROBLEMS LET YOU FIND THE ISSUE , ITS ALWAYS THERE . example , since going over to adding rislone zinc , to my lubricants , there is no varnish / smokey anything , been using this for years , same no smoke engine varnish result , oil changes are like a real flushing . also added spring pulls to my cable ends , to assist closure ? that way every time you move a lever / pull , you have a lubricated / spring assist , make a change , pete

    Ready for snow?

    Yes there is. It's priceless and something that can't be bought or even given to you. "Honor is a man’s gift to himself" suggests that honor is an intrinsic quality, shaped by personal values and integrity. It emphasizes that true honor cannot be bestowed by others; rather, it is cultivated through self-respect and moral choices. This concept implies that a person's sense of honor is a reflection of their character and beliefs, guiding their actions and decisions in life." And just to be clear, I wasn't always Peter Pan and certainly don't claim to be one now! But maybe it's a matter of making amends for being my angry younger self and for some of the things I've done. It was an act of kindness that effected me and it's doubtful that person even realizes they made a difference. I'm a slow learner when it comes to things like this. And I'd bet Don feels pretty good about helping and it cost him $0 to do it.

    Small Block SG Belt Guard

    Would stand to reason the smaller guard would have a smaller pulley. Might matter if it was the short or long SG?

    What did you do today?

    Got this mostly finished and on display: Click the pic... The Peterbilt is mostly a kit. Testor's metal 1/28 scale. The cab guard and frame plates are added. Other things moved around. Sleeper removed. Black trailer also a kit from the same series. Wheels moved back. Landing gear moved forward. Otherwise box stock. The two Hess trucks are from the 1970s. Collector pieces.

    The Complete 653 Restoration

    Back on this project! Went over the George's to pay a visit and get some work done! I ordered the rebuild kit, but it didn't make it in time. We started on the engine. Here is a K181 and a K161 that we are combining to make one good one. In the end, we will have a 702 starter motor style tractor.
  21. Kinsman. I have a gentleman that is interested already. If it doesn't work out, I'll message you. Thanks Bill
