That would be fun to zip around in!

True words spoken. Feel blessed to have the job I do.

Just make sure to thoroughly clean the carburetor once apart. I put all body pieces in a closed container with enough acetone to make sure pieces are submerged. 24-48 hours in this bath. Then after removing, I chase all passages with soft wire. This is followed by a blast through all...

Those carbs could be for a Ford tractor if it had a Funk six cylinder conversion

That is true. The first Fordsons were notorious for flipping over backwards. The “fix” was extended fenders which alleviated this.

Couple more…. And what did most older tractors have embossed on fuel caps? Buy clean fuel and keep it clean. Would I put my daughter on my 1940 Farmall A yard mowing tractor without instructions and warning; the tractor is adjusted to its narrowest track setting, and the drive belt is near...

Warning cartoons from an original 830 John Deere(produced from 1958-61) owners manual.

Not sure if folks are aware how many people were maimed or killed when belt driven equipment was the norm. Hands getting caught in belt, body parts removed if/when belt came off pulley. Wonder how many people on here snickering about modern stupidity have seen a steam engine belted to a prony...

Thats more along the lines of JD green

Another plug for Uncle Max. You can’t beat his service.

When my father was young, his dad had a John Deere D. They didn’t have permanent anti freeze, so alcohol it was, at least in the spring and fall when it would most likely freeze at night. Problem was, the D would get warm enough to boil off the alcohol, so one had to be diligent about topping...

Nice job!

Pto would have powered a pump, often contained in the hydraulic tank itself. Add hoses to a hydraulic ram, and Bob’s your uncle.

For my F3 Timken, which I believe is similar to the car differential pinion-wise, I used a 1/2” piece of plate ~5x5”, with a hole for the threaded pinion end, and two holes for all thread. Standard 1/2” hardware store all thread and 4 nuts, one welded to end of all thread above plate, one...

Very nice!
