drive the good tire up on a plank and that will free up the flat tire. puts some pictures in here of your C, I'd walk a mile to look at a Farmall just to see any mechanical changes 😁. This year I put new tubs and tires on my SM and I already have a flat !!&&%%$$ and I know it's a tub failure that's the kind'a stuff that's on the market today!

WOW! I want to try that, sign me up put me on the list!&$. I have a 1940 H, the rear tires are coming off tires were loaded with chloride a salt mix which leaked into the rim and it seemed to always rust out the valve stem. I've tried the plank method where you put the plank by the bead and backed my SM on plank the tire falls away! but not these tires I left the tractor on overnight no way!

If you stack 10 old wore out car tire side by side and shoot threw them you will get the same results. 🤠😁 normal conversation 60 decibels chain saw 100 decibels gun shot 150 decibels

I've been welding most of my life, 50 years now My middle name is Weld! 😁 Your description with no pictures leaves us guessing? cast iron or cast steel? cast iron is soft but brittle will not bend, cast steel is tough bendable flexible. Cast iron requires a soft set welding rod so when it solidifies it won't pull away from the cast being welded, making shot little welds long arcing and peening for stress relieving keeping heat buildup to a minamuine. cast steel requires high tencil rod with 100% penetration, stringer passes and stress relieving good ole 7018.

OK, with the rear tires of the floor I was able to roll and feel what's going on? The right side was free & smooth Forward & backward ok, left side rough locking up forward!? backward smooth nothing? it's all coming from the brakes & differential I looked for a broken bearing nothing? I decided to take off the brake cover to see the inner bearing and when that cover come off everything went smooth!!?? All the lights come on in the shop! The radio started playing The William Tell Overture! I got handed the keys to a 2026 Chevy Corvett WOW! I found the rough spot!😁true story 🤩😁 The problem was in the brake band set to close, there is a bolt at the bottom of the cover that holds the band up from dragging it was messing? I can see now brake adjustments should be made with tires off the ground. With the cover off i found the bull wheel keeper bolts loose, retorqued them checked all bearing ok, all the gears good no chips!? so now I'm cleaning all the oil galleries with rags no air using a magnet in the pockets for fine metal chips, getting ready to put back together.

Working on it? there is a lot of things to get out of the way to pull the cover plate!? Right now, the tractor is just sitting on the shop floor on the tires, not sure which direction to go? I have a rolling over head hoist, and the cover is coming off! I'm not seeing any obvious thing? all the gear teeth look good, bearings look good? next I'll jack the rear tires off the floor and roll everything. Taking a coffee break.

Bought two Farmall H's a few years ago and the daughter and I drove them home 15 miles good run. The one H was fully dressed with cultivators the other had a loader with a scoop bucket, that I used to move firewood, then I noticed a rough spot in the trans, final drive not sure pulled the band brake covers they were in good shape for a 1940!? I'm not working this tractor hard and the trans got rougher gear clashing!? Reverse worked, ok? So, I pulled the loader and backed it in the shop to pull the cover plate off and that's a big job? I'm wondering how far I Gotti go in or what might be the cause?

WOW! 1,000 pound each wheel weights! it would take a Superman to load them!! 😁 probity from a fork truck application?

Chester5732: That's what I wanted to hear from experience, I just went through and measured my engine tappets cold setting in the shop, on the line of adjustment all were each cylinder tight & loose with .017 feeler gauge. So, when I run the engine, I will measure and adjust and the next day cold measure them to see where there at and record. I guess what I've been trying to avoid is a pre adjustment so once I seal the cover I don't go back in for a while. thanks for the info
-
Yes, hot up and running measurements and adjustments made. The engine was not rebuilt the tappets were not making noise, but the cover is leaking from the old cork gasket, I don't use a gasket up there, I put on a 3/8 bead of sealer and drop the cover on lightly let set the next day finish tighting. I just bought the big tube of red sealer $32.00 WOW I also do the oil pans the same way. I've ran into some snags the temp & oil gauge are lost in the mail!? looks like the engine will get a run & adj. and seal cover. thanks people
-
The book say's adjust when hot .017 I don't have that opportunity my super is getting new parts Radiator, temp gauge, oil gauge, rebuilt water pump, rebuilt gen. new bearing and bushing from the wheels to the top of the steering gear! WOW!!&&$$ So, I would like to adjust the valves, all I have is summer temp. 70-80 degree's so what is good?

Danny's the man here! good job

Just buy the size you want??&&$$

Experience through the years of handling, buying and deepening on battery's tells the whole story. We should not have to except this kind of quality today! %&$$

Removing old head gasket material, that's a tough job even for me. The best tool in the whole world is a wood chisel, it's hard, sharp, has a handle & you can tap on the end, size 1 inch blade keep it sharp & straight. bonus talk Installation: With everything ready and looking good, put a small smear of sealant around the oil & coolet ports top & bottom of head gasket to keep from leaking, nothing on the piston and valve steel ring. Use Permatex ultra red 81630 high temp. red The First day toque head 50% next day 100%, Heads Complete.

NO NO NO and every and everyone gets a NO 😁 On a cold day start up on a up draft carburetor the high-speed cold air squeezing threw the carburetor Ventura freezes and frost the upper neck of the carb. The little 3/16 hole in the bottom of the manifold exhaust, that most people don't know about is a drain for (rainwater) that can rust or freeze your engine up! Combating the situation unhook the air tube up under the hood and let warm dry engine air feed the carb. Tractor engines are cold blooded, let worm up and blind the radiator. once the heat from the manifold goes into the carb body the frosting gois away. The laws of physics heat goes to cold it never go's the other way. How is heat transferred? from molecule to molecule On a cold day the sun rays worm you skin how? electromagnetic waves from the sun, eight minutes away.

Yes, I made a reply to a post, and I checked back the next day, and it was gone!? I thought it was removed with no notice! I would like to know what happened!?

Had the Idea a few years ago and you know how that goes, the pistol is an 1858 Remington 44 cal, black powder, buffalo stile long barrel. I finally found a mounting bar for the scope to mount too and put it together last summer. This winter with some extra time the basement is warm & dry from the wood stove, I loaded It up for sight in. Performance was great! I'm out to 25 yards and when this stormy weather go's 50 yards next. How the West was won, you can load these pistols three way. combat, conversional, match. You are now enjoying my lifelong hobby.

KILLDEVILBILL; your wheel hub that carry's the bearing is different from a regular H? Who knows after 80 years if it was changed out, short production run? in your picture looks like a parcel tab on the rim? Compare my picture to yours and see the difference in hubs? I'm sure with a small amount of physics we can finger this out.😁
-
Considering new front rims for my '46 H. It has the blank ones now, without tabs. Just to save myself a few bucks, I'm wondering if these will work: The blank rims well work if you don't need bolt up tabs? I've never seen a Farmall H without bolt on tabs, how about some pictures?

I've put a few on, the early one wire alternators after start up you had to wrap the throttle to get the fields to energize, a lot of people never got that? After 30 years today one wire alternators you run a 14-gauge wire from the alt. to the amp meter to the battery, on start up the alt. fields come on right away works on tractor low RPM's WOW! The last one I bought was at NAPA for my snowplow super M. Welcome & Merry Christmas everyone

J & B weld which is a two-part epoxy glue! sold at all auto & hardware stores, that transfer tube is not a high stress area It's just flipping a butterfly.
