    Tractor lights

    Wire them directly to the battery WITH a relay. Have a separate switch to trigger the relay... and have the switch wired to the ignition switch accessory side (so the lights go OFF when the ignition key is turned off)

    hello my name is cole rymer

    My shop is in the same building as Trask Automotive on Brookford Road. (Across from the Sheetz/Ford dealer on RT66). I've been working out of High Point this week, but will be around the shop next week. (trying to retire.. it isn't going well :rolleyes::rolleyes:) I restore antique cars- but...

    hello my name is cole rymer

    Cole, I am also from NC... very near to you... my shop is in Kernersville as well. If you can't get the 1200 moving... let me know here... maybe I can help. There is a show coming up in Thomasville, NC in a couple weeks. There are usually 10-15 vintage Cubs, as well as antique IH tractors...

    Choke question

    Just guessing: Someone replaced the original carburetor with a new "knock-off"? I say this because- I did the same thing- and the choke was "reversed" from the original setup. OEM carb/ Cheap "Knockoff"... notice choke/shaft position: both chokes are "open" . but the levers are in different...

    Best Carb Cleaner

    PineSol does work great!!! I use it with a stainless steel "stock-pot" and small electric hotplate (on very low)... for soaking starters, generators, and armatures (after disassembly). It would clean them without damaging the insulation or coating on the field coils and armature windings. Soak...

    Best Carb Cleaner

    wear nitrile/vinyl gloves with the Berrymans... it stinks when on your hands... and takes a couple days to dissapate.. no matter how much you wash. (Head and Shoulders seems to be the best to get it off your hands).

    devilbiss spray gun.

    I own a restoration shop... I have used the very guns you have (along with Binks, Graco, and others). They are obsolete. Lots of overspray, higher volume of air needed to spray, and lots of wasted paint in the bottom of the cup that can never be reached. I have used the HF guns to spray POR-15...

    Parts Wanted needed.108 lift rod

    I'm using an 800#+ Linear actuator for a rear lift I built.. It has worked flawlessly, and will lift my trailers (boat. car)... for moving around the driveway.

    New Guy with Inoperable PTO Clutch on RZT50

    I had a ZRT50 (2004?).. with an intermittant-then inoperable pto. It turned out that the RED wire that plugs into the PTO multi-wire plug... had gotten hot, melted the retaining tab, and the wire/connector vibrated loose. I was able to get it reinstalled, and glued a small piece of plastic into...

    All Things Deer

    Did someone say Savage Model 99? Here is my Mom.. in 1956 with her 1st Deer, and the Model 99 (chambered in .300 Savage) she got for her birthday just weeks before. I also have my own 99. It's a 1951 with a Pachmayer flip-mount and Unertl 4X scope. I also have my Grandfathers Model 99 (1941)...

    What started as a non-starting 129 is turning into much more...

    I'm surprised no one mentioned these engines have a "compression release" to help in starting. It helps the engine turn over faster in initial cranking. As speed increases, so does compression. It is no surprise your reading was only 15#. Yes, the .030 number does indicate the engine has been...

    Free or OBO to a good home, downsizing Bob Cat snow blower Vintage

    Went and picked up this snowblower from Larry this evening. He cranked it up (2nd pull),and drove it easily up onto my utility trailer. I must say... Larry was being far too kind to be giving this away. So, I donated to his 1250 fuel-fund. His 1980 Cub 1250 is in excellent original condition. I...
