HAPPPPY BIRTHDAY
-
Have a Great Day Terry and thanks for all you do for us.

My brother worries me. Every time he drives by a dairy farm, he pulls over and leaves a few dollars on the fence. Doesn't he know cow tipping is illegal?
-
I think anything below about freezing temperature you should have it on there. And it shouldn't matter if it's ACR or not. The oil isn't going to mind one way or the other. It's about keeping things lubed up more appropriately. A slightly warmer oil will Lube the engine better and sooner.
-
Yes I bought one last year my self, for that K241 non ACR engine Eric. I think 30 and 20,s should be fine. After that I will use the block heater.

looks like someone stuck the wrong bearing in my v pulley. going to have to take a closer look.
-
I use a magnetic heater on my 1975 C160 Automatic. Definitely makes a huge difference. Also a lot less expensive than propane.

there are two different length rods these are the longer ones for your machine

Thanks Bill. I have both those decks. The one I was working on is in your second or lower picture. It had a 4" high roller on the front. That roller is junk. I could not find a 4" high roller and posted such here. It now has a 3" high roller on the front thanks to these guys. I really appreciate those pictures and your response that both decks will fit. I suspected such. Next shift, (later today) I will compare my decks to your pictures and report back. Maybe with more questions. Thanks Rick, Peter, Bill, and R SQ.

I bought a Predator 670 for my C-195. The plan was to use an electric pto clutch, which will be delivered tomorrow. The best fit I could find for the 1" shaft along with a comparable sheave diameter draws 6.5 amps. I thought I might still be okay until I learned that the charging system on a 670 is 3 amps. I should have known the charging system sucked or they would publish the output. Instead, it is not listed anywhere. I guess I am now stuck trying to install a charging upgrade. One issue is parts interchange. It looks a lot like a Honda GX670, but the only way to tell what interchanges is probably testing.

I'm not the music enthusiast I used to be but I did see Stevie Ray Vaughan in Pittsburgh many, many years ago when he opened for the Outlaws and then his brother with the Fabulous Thunderbirds in San Antonio a few years later in Hemisphere Park during Cinco de Mayo, I think that was maybe 1989. Memories...

There is not any dents in the hood at all in the front. What you see are the lights that are bowed from someone not knowing how to put them back in.

I've finally gotten time to move the MF from our Mo. property to our Ky. property for some ditch work. I had replaced the missing screws on the temp gage. No longer reads high 'cause it always reads low, now. I gave the MF an oil change Wednesday and started giving the trailer that came with it a once over. Didn't plan very well here - first time using a new to me used trailer and it is on a 475 mile tow. Had to top off the hydraulic fluid - got a couple of leaky hoses. Not knowing exactly what is in there, I'll schedule a fluid change there in the near future as well. Anyhow, I spent half of yesterday and most of today looking the trailer over. The tires are old but look sound, the bearings are well greased, but 2 of them were a bit loose - easy to remedy. And suprise of suprises, all of the lights work. The electric brakes do too. On a test drive a few miles out of town and back, all looked OK. Unloaded, it tows easily with stability. When loading the tractor, I ended up with the landscape rake and the chain harrow at the front of the trailer under the FEL bucket. Two chains across the trailer with a binder on each one. Less than ideal. I will be adding two more chains and ratchet binders in the near future - I'll feel much better with that system. I don't much care for the lever binders. Best of all, that trailer is big enough to move EJ the 8n around. And a couple of my projects cars too.

AI is going to kill us all. You first when she sees that! LOL
-
I agree with @ri702bill about it being backed into or something similar. I think the mule drive has been injured as well...
-
Move the steering wheel until these two parts are vertical, then take a look at the front end. It may provide clues as to where the problem is.
-
Not a bad idea - especially for those of us who are getting older and wiser. Just tonght, I got the MF GC1720 loaded on the trailer. I shut off the fuel for transport and noticed that the charge light was on for the emergency trailer brake battery. Not knowing how much it will take to charge it from the truck battery, I unplugged the trailer from the truck. Got to remember to plug the trailer in before I leave in the morning. Should leave a note on the tractor key to turn the fuel back on, too.

Thanks Achto: I have one for the early 60`s K241engine. Those have no ACR.

My response
-
Me neither. Google didn't know it either. I've heard of gas wash, but ever oil.
-
I’m not familiar with the term oil wash?
-
Happy Happy Horseplay
-
I would say then is pop the head and check for oil wash. Never hurts anyway to check the bore, valves & decarbon.

I had a similar experience one as well. I went to buy a Mr. Fusion for my Ranger, got it home, and there were still banana peels, coffee grounds, and some old beer in the bottom. We had people try to pull this crap all the time when I worked at Advance. One guy would come in a few times a year with trash bags full of parts, wanting to return all of it, no receipts for any of it, half of it was house brands from other stores, and he'd threaten to call the district manager and complain if you tried to argue with him at all.
