LOVE that truck Bill
-
I agree that there are too many wires on a 300 series.. but that isn't because of a tractor being hydro or automatic. The earlier machines were far less complicated no matter what transmission was used.
-
Thanks Don. I assume that's on a 400 series unless you have a 520 - H all dolled up that I don't know about with 25 hours on it.

Eric that was the first for me was the 312 A nice but did not like the Hydro in the end.To many wires. Solid that and started buying the Start/Gen’s. And 74 B-80`s. Much better. Enjoy your week end.

sent you a pm for a source on oil filter seal.

Well said Bill. The same here but the $$ are going up and up for these. Even the non runners. I like to find one every year and work on it over the winter. But I think I will have to turn that into two years Because of pricing. Just my .

Usually fine here in N.C. Those 2 proteins coming from Texas to Minnesota. Whew. no Bueno. My correct guess is garbage soil here. In the middle they are fed silage along with grazing on fertile ground. Walmart cows n pigs. Like many humans. Obese and slow.

Thanks everyone

There’s still a few Wheel Horses up here. According to the FB Marketplace, they are mostly around Bangor or down on the coast by @JCMand @ebinmaine. It’s a mix of C- some D and the 3,4,and 500 series in repairable to parts machine condition. I’ve got 4 in various states of usability and limited space. I’m good for now. it’s enough of a challenge maintaining what I have.

Alright. I'm a Skynard fan since it was my first concert in the summer of '77 at 13 years old. Not so much a fan of the covers and always prefer the original but AI does the best cover yet.

The weather is finally warming up here, so I plan to be outdoors soon, degreasing/cleaning the chassis of my 522xi and reinstalling the rest of the sheet metal. I still need to de-rust and repaint a couple of pieces first. I want to do the de-rusting outside with the abrasive blaster attachment for my pressure washer. In the meantime, I'm back on my 1954 Dodge M37 restoration project again. I'm planning to rebuild the engine, so not exactly today, but a few days ago I pulled it out of the truck and mounted it on my engine stand to finish taking it apart. Working by myself, it only took about two hours (of course it helped that I had already removed all of the body parts from the front of the truck). The truck only has a little over 8,000 miles on it (which isn't unusual for quite a few old military vehicles that probably spent much of their life in a National Guard armory parking lot), and so the engine has VERY little wear, However, I'm still planning on giving it a proper overhaul. After 72 years...not to mention sitting around for several decades covered up, but with the cylinder head off...the elements worked their magic, and it developed a bit of surface rust on the cylinder walls, as well as a few small rust spots on the connecting rod journals. The rust on the cylinder walls should clean up easily with a few passes of a hone, so the cylinders 'should' still be within standard spec (we'll see). The cam looks perfect, and I think that a very light grind on the crankshaft should clean it up nicely. I'm looking around for a good local automotive machine shop to do the crankshaft grinding/polishing and true up the connecting rods if necessary. I would also have them check the block to see if it could benefit from align honing and decking, etc. The valves, valve guides, and seats all look virtually new (other than a coat of light rust on top of the valves), but as long as I have it apart, I might touch them up a bit anyway...maybe even a three-angle grind. The engine came from the factory back in 1954 with such niceties as a forged steel crankshaft and some kind of steel exhaust valve seat inserts. I need to do a bit of research and testing to see if those original inserts will stand up to unleaded fuel. If need be, I can replace them with hardened seats or simply use a lead-substitute fuel additive. Other than machining operations that require specialized equipment that I don't own, I plan to do the bulk of the engine work myself, as I have for numerous other engines over the years. I've already rebuilt the carburetor, governor, waterproof distributor, fuel/vacuum pump, and the 24V 100A alternator, and I already have a ton of OEM NOS or new parts for it, like con rod bolts, cylinder head bolts, rings, bearings, seals and gaskets, water distribution tube, oil pump pressure upgrade kit, waterproof spark plugs, waterproof spark plug wires, etc., so once the machining is done, I should theoretically be able to get the engine back together pretty quickly and move on to other restoration tasks...and some Wheel Horse stuff.

Thank You Can I leave the coil jumper connected if engine if the engine starts and is running

Be careful with any information obtained from AI. I deal with it a fair bit in my job and it has its place but its wrong a lot. The charge pump merely feeds pressure into the variable displacement pump for the hydrostat and the pressure for the hydraulic lift. If you downloaded a fast GPS app, I would be willing to bet you are not actually speeding up while turning, it just feels that way (or the smart turn delete is working backwards somehow). Like i said, it's a complicated system of linkages and has many points for wear and failure. Start with the hydro adjustment: the service manual is a good read here: Then check the linkages Then check the cam plate and follower nut (its moves smoothly, but the grove and nut get worn and doesn't push the hydrostat lever far enough any more). You will have to pull the fender off, but then you will find its tucked down beside the frame-rail.

hold up i thought they only had it going up to the mg16 until the 86 merging...(excluding the lse)

Or Least-Sold-Engine Its almost like they wanted to start a fight over who gets what...cub didnt think the 169 would later beomce very famous.wh probably did here.also just wanna ask what number is each of yours?

Talking with my nephew recently brought up his older sister Jessica. Man do I miss her a lot! She was only 25 when she "threw her hand" almost 20 years ago. So much to live for yet still young enough not to realize all troubles will pass. If she only held on for another day things might have been different. Read the comments on this one and realize we're all just human beings that feel hurt.

Generally the first 2 digits of a serial tell what year.dont trust me on that but it makes sense
-
Mmmm tastes just like the sun would...

i tried to get the gasket from onan/cummins but they showed out of stock as a couple other places did also , any suggestions as to where they might be available , thank you
-
Evening, Looking for handle bars ideas for Gravely Sulky if anyone has done such on their similar sulky.
-
i agree new tractor to me , know very little as to its previous care , i will try and get the correct stuff and see , thank you
