Siefring Red Farmer

I have the hard linkage

I had to remove the transmission deck plate to replace 4th gear. This required me to remove the valve assembly under the dash. I went to put everything back together and now the fast hitch is stuck in down position and the controls are spongy and won't respond. What do I need to know?

I spent time this weekend looking at this again. I put new spark plug wires, distributor cap, condenser on it. Still no spark. Any ideas?

It is crisp on an off if you turn it over slow. My light has a delay and so flickers more when the engine is turning over at normal speed. I'll get a new distributor cap and rotor and condenser soon and give an update when i try that.

I can see the power change as the points open and close, the test light will flicker

I recently purchased an M that I was told ran when parked. I'm having trouble getting spark. I know there is a very good troubleshooting guide on this site somewhere and i can't find it. I've spent some time searching and I can't find it. Can someone point me to this? I have power to and through the coil. No spark. Points are working.

I just purchased this M. The front wheel hubs are a little different than what I've seen before. Is there a reason for this style hub or was there a special application that required them?

My 986 Red Power does not have the sun visor. It does have the additional rear lights and chrome hand rails on the door (which are very nice to have. I installed a set on my 3588.) What is the switch on dash?

Around west central ohio..... Pre emerge herbicide is a must to control water hemp. I plant all 15 in rows to give maximum canopy closing and sun capture for each plant. I cultivate before planting. Decision of 15 vs 30 in rows is dependent on white mold and how prevalent it is in your area. Seed treatments are worth every penny, in my opinion. Plant as early as you can. Bean harvest sunlight and water and turn them into yield. I assume you will have a proper crop rotation cycle to help with below ground pest control. i plant beans the same depth as corn, 1.5 in dp or more depending on moisture. Old timers will tell you that you should see some beans left on top. I plant 160K. I don't know what will work in your area. Seed variety is probably the biggest variable, that you control, in what determines final yield. Do your homework.

Me and the boys drove our tractors in a local parade on Sunday. Someone in our town organized a parade in support of a presidential candidate. Had 155 entries, could have been a few that were not counted. The parade lasted 45 min. Here is my lineup that we took.

We took off the fenders and made a set of platforms which bolt into the axle housing where the fenders were, did this on the 300 but will work on others as well. This gives a big surface to step onto and off of. The platform extends up to just beyond the light fixture and just back of the operator station and is the width of the wheel to operator station. I can get pics if interested.
