    Is Synthetic Oil OK?

    I wanted to add a few things about oil. As far as synthetics very few oils are synthetic, although labeled synthetic when in fact the are highly refined convention1al oil with a better add pack. Mobil 1 has went this route after a battle with Castrol in court over what a synthetic is. You...

    As for cold weather oil look up the cold pour point on the MSDS/oil specs for oil you are using or plan to use. Many straight 30 weight oils of today will give the 10w-30 multi-weights a run for the money for cold pour point... however once you drop down below 15* then it may be a good idea to...

    Dennis Yes that's the part I'm talking about, and I have eliminated the side play as well in so far on the bushings I have worked on. Nylatron is cheaper, and much more forgiving to a point when working, and I think this would be a perfect application... I just had second thoughts being IH...

    I'm working on a 149 Hydro linkages bringing them back up to spec (getting the wear/slop out of them). I used Nylatron for the linkage that the adjustment rod connecting pin connects to, this originally had a dry bushing. Now my question the shaft that goes through the pump, and has the springs...

    Greg The 30mm is the bore or butterfly diameter, not sure which way it is specified, but that's the size regardless. On the bushing for the top, I have done several, and one on a "green one" with a Kohler K321 as well, none of the ones I done had bushings, so I just taped one right in. It's...

    Robert Avellar I just want you to know this is the very first step in a long spiraling downfall!! It's big yellor & white money pit. Now on the up side it will keep you out of trouble, can be very rewarding in what you accomplish. Many people not not understand what they are getting into, it...

    Bruce Nolte You should be able to take your pressure plate to a machine shop, along with the shaft to have them bore, and bush it. I would make sure the shaft is not worn in that area, I'm not sure what the best bushing material would be in this case, bronze (oilite) or cast iron. It's also...

    Rick Beem I for one appreciate the pictures/info. I have this same job to do in the near future after my repower of my 1450 is complete (which is getting very close by the way) The oilite bushing is a great idea, I wonder how a small bearing would work in this application ? I have never dug...

    Well looks like I will be eating some upside down stuff for future reference!! I mean lots of it in one big helping thank to my canny ability to make things read what I want them to (sears into IH) even if I have to turn them upside down part of the way through the serial number. I better get...

    Lewis You are correct, I should have known !! I argued with someone thinking it said IH, and thank you for telling me I'm reading them upside down !! I even had the person I was arguing convinced the weights said IH, never less I'm glad I got some weights, which I think they weigh more than...

    Should have asked question again as my other post is a page back now. Are these IH manufactured weights ? I assume that's what the IH is.. or I hope. (pics in post below below) Thanks, clint

    Frank I will get the number tomorrow, with a pic as well. Yes it resembles a number like that, but I will give more information tomorrow, I should have had all the info before I posted my apologies for that.

    Maybe a somewhat dumb question about wheel weights, but it will help settle a argument. Daddy picked up a old sears Suburban 16 ( I think that's right, it's the old deluxe model) and even though it's not a Cub (which he also has some cubs) it is a nice built tractor. It came with some wheel...

    Dennis I do luck up at times getting my scrap stock for play time, at today's prices for metal I don't know what I would do purchasing new metal!! I will get some exact measurements on the bushings, but my spacing to get the cradle level is around .5" on the rear, and .25" on the front, this...

    I have a big project going on re powering a 1450 right now, knee deep in it, however my daddy has a 125 (or a 127 I forget) that is loosing power to the ground. It works fine for awhile, then no forward or reverse. He is thinking the worst of course, but just wondering if anyone has any...

    One step closer today !! I finally got all the bushings, spacers, and caps made today, bushings, and caps I determined are made from stainless, the spacers under the cradle are made from phosphorus bronze, or aluminum bronze, good stuff, and turned like a dream compared to the stainless...

    Thanks for the info so far, very helpful. I decided to try the original engine cradle mount on the B&S, so far it's been a lot of work, however if I ever do decide to go back original, well I guess it makes me feel all warm, and fuzzy to keep the original cradle mount even though it will be...

    Done some work to the 1450 today, took me much longer making the bushings than I thought. One thing that threw me a curve I expected the original cradle to be level, however it is not, so I had to go back and make another set of bushings/ steel ISO mounts. I made mine two piece, I made a center...
