    Old wives tail about tires, true or not?

    When I got my '93 it had old tires on it that were dry rotted, they still had plenty of tread though. The front passenger side tire blew out while just sitting under the carport. It split straight across the tread, from one side of the tire to the other. Old tires are fine on tractors and...

    6 volt

    I got it running, it needed the larger "00" cable, later I'll pick up a new battery and a "0" for the ground side. I appreciate all the help would have been frustrated more if I hadn't asked.

    6 volt

    I appreciate the replies, turns out the battery is older than I thought it was(4-5 years), so I'll bite the bullet and by a new one, it's not my battery anyways. The starter is brand new, I had to get one since the people who had it before the guy I bought it from had a 12V on it and destroyed...

    6 volt

    It's not a ford or a vehicle so feel free to delete this if it is not permitted for any reason. I've got a farmall c I'm trying to get running, it's still a 6 volt system. The battery seems to be going down exceptionally quickly when cranking. The battery will still show 6 volts but wont even...

    I have browsed the forum and was unable to locate an area where this has been discussed before. I hope it will help to provide useful information to those of you who may not have heard or simply didn't know much about it. Most of you are familiar with how electrolysis can be used to...

    How times have changed }}}}}

    I agree with red, these vehicles are antiques now that are difficult to come by and not all of them have survived this far. I have no issues with someone hot rodding a modern vehicle nor would I have back then. The thing that bothers me is that there is only a limited number of them now and...

    safety equipment

    I'm in East Texas and as far as I know that law is generic throughout the states, I know that here if it didn't come with them then you don't have to have them.

    Be careful

    Roads aren't really engineered for a certain speed, traffic flow and weight yes but speed no, except on the curves. There is also nothing wrong with high speed limits so long as the drivers actually pay attention and drive courteously, most don't, I think having slow speed limits in certain...

    Be careful

    I agree with straight pipes, if you can't run at least within 10mph of the speed limit stay off the interstate, especially at night. It's uncourteous to the other drivers as well as dangerous. Your also blocking traffic, even most of the truck drivers run within 10mph of the limit so running...

    Not everyone likes old Fords.......

    I went into a dealership a couple months ago to look at the new one tons and asked the salesman if you could get a PTO on the truck. He said he didn't know what a PTO was but you could get one on it.

    1939 ford 91T truck project in OZ

    I'm still learning about the trucks but on mine the lever on the gear shift is the reverse lockout (pull it up to put it in reverse) as Tinker said and pretty sure the other lever is for a PTO.

    Google antique saw tooth setter under images, it yields a lot of images similar to yours.

    Need this Tool Identified Please

    Looks to me like a device for setting the angle of a saw's teeth as others have said. The reason for the adjustable part is for various widths/angles possibly.

    Need pricing help on 36 1 1/2 ton CC

    The pricing in your area would probably be a bit less though, everything up here is absurdly expensive.
