    Why won't my tractor run??????

    Hopefully it didn't fill the crankcase with gas !

    Slow Cranking K241

    I would run it for 10 min or so, shut it down and let it cool completely then re-torque because they always loosen up after a run cycle with a new gasket. I usually re-torque 3 times after a rebuild, It likely starts quicker with the work you've done but it didn't make the starter /gen spin...

    169 hydro valves stuck in

    usually I just clamp them upside down in the vise and take a small pin punch through the hole in the bottom and tap the ball, normally they are not stuck very tight ,once free clean the pins ,spray some lube and work them up and down by hand using the pin punch on the bottom and finger on top...

    CC 125 pto clutch removal

    you could use a cut off wheel or a die grinder just don't booger the crank too much ! cut most of the way and try a hammer and chisel and it should split ! If I remember the collar has a short bolt and jam nut and an allen set screw . You need a small cut off wheel to get in there possibly on a...

    CC 125 pto clutch removal

    are you talking about the allen set screws in the 3 holes around the outer perimeter of the clutch,2 screws per hole ? or the locking collar that holds the pto brg to the crank ?

    1811 Charge pump shaft repair

    would be hard with shaft in the pump and welding may cause the internal bearing to arc ?

    1450 project

    Welded up the trunnion damper spring fit which was badly worn to one side , had about 45 min in the repair . I use a copper bar on the bottom ( the weld doesn't adhere to the copper ) for a backer strip then mig it back to size. A die grinder and file finishes it up. It is 1 3/16 long x 3/4...

    1450 project

    Finally getting around to the 1450 I bought about a year ago ! Starting with the hydro gasket to the rear end leak, posting some pics for those that have never done one . I loosened the brake hardware and pulled this one up through the tunnel, afterwards I removed the fender pan for better...

    Loose Steering on Narrow Frame Cubs

    C but don't over do it or it will start to bind but also expect some free play is always present on these old tractors ! take a good look at diggers post for a understanding of what all is there and what all could be worn !

    Do I have a leaky head gasket?

    I normally re-torque the head 2-3 times after a rebuild, run it long enough to heat up, let it cool down completely and torque it , you'll find it's loosened up from the original torquing ! call me anal but iv'e never had to revisit a leaking head gasket !

    Vermeer M 147H PTO questions

    It use to be not so long ago one could pick up a good used pto for a reasonable price ,not the case any longer like everything else they want a hefty price for one that needs complete rebuild and the parts to rebuild are getting ridiculous !Rebuilt ones are going for around $ 200 + so once you...

    Vermeer M 147H PTO questions

    It does appear that #15 is broke off part way and the #19 fingers that go into the recess on 15 are rusted off on the ends and likely will not be any good even with a new #15 button ,part 16 just pushes into the hole in #21 and most time only the piece in the hole is left as the pto ate the rest...
