billonthefarm Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 We had been busy up till last week with farm stuff and getting Ruthless ready to go to the Midwest Winter Nationals. With that over I have my next project in the shop. 1973 966 factory nf. Pretty straight but it has a lot of hours on it. Getting it cleaned up and did some repairs on the wiring yesterday. Got some tax paperwork and corn to haul but I will keep working on it as much as I can this week. This is my happy place! 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

766 Man Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 A fun project? What's that? I've been fixing trusses in a pole barn the past week in an attempt to get a few more years out of it. I've tried to pick up tractors that would fit my budget. I'd love that 966 but those kinds of finds never come my way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Ran about 125’ of wire to put an outlet right beside the loader tractor, instead of 25’ away from it. Wire probably would have rolled out and stapled nicer if it was not 28°. Then I wanted an easy indoor job, so I talked to my father into moving this old hay rake out of the barn and into the shop. it’s about 45 years old and some of the bearings on the end of the bars had some play in them. Non-greaseable, as old as I am, and (most) of them still had decent grease inside. We rarely use the bar rakes anymore , but they need to be ready either way. Added pic got out of order. Found a quart of NH yellow paint in my cabinet that’s been in there since the early ‘90s. Took 20 minutes of stirring with an Allen key stuck in a drill to bring it back to “fluid” state, but it did 100%. Old school paint. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling B. Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Trying to get some work done on my personal Farmall C... carb rebuild, rework the air intake, governor repair and maybe attempt to paint the tinwork when it warms up a bit more. Need to paint my '00 F250 and my wife's '01 Excursion, but I've never really done any body work and the Farmall is a much cheaper guinea pig to find out if I'm absolutely terrible at it. Neighbor dropped off his Long 310 for have the injection pump resealed. Interesting little 2 cylinder tractor with a Mefin pump. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Dinan Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Between rain and work, backfilling waterline to the new well. Have more dirt work to do when it dries up and a tree to get rid of, before we replace the sidewalks, so pieced it back together temporarily. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time the mid to late 86 and 88 series the durability of the 400 series was vastly better. And it all depended on the operator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but some of those old style bar rake bearings have a split inner race that can be snugged up as needed to eliminate excess play. If they are that type, you are probably better off doing that than installing new bearings from A&I or some such lower dollar supplier.

stronger800 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Dealer had 5 in stock, he ordered me 5 more. I don’t believe there is any way to tighten them…..but I didn’t look to close. Inner race appears to be one with the stub shaft, per the parts diagram anyway. The larger models did use a tapered roller bearing that I’d think could be tightened.

yellowrosefarm Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Swapping the motor out on my stump grinder. Wisconsin VH4D with one bad and 3 weak cylinders, being replaced with a newly rebuilt (supposedly) one off of a NH baler. The baler motor had reversed controls, and a 6v starter and generator. The stump grinder motor is 12v with the stator under the flywheel. The baler motor gear cover did not have a provision for the stator and the flywheel is different which is why they are torn down that much. If you remember from before, I had bought a pump with a low hour engine, and was going to get an adapter made for the threaded, smaller, crankshaft stub trying to avoid doing this. But, that didn't materialize, so here I am. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
