DT Fan Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Not much of a Red tractor day here today. Started the 10 up and backed it out of the shed so I could get the WD and the 45 out. Spent most of the day with the little Orange guys. Loved every minute of it! Used all three of these today. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can point to a couple that are still earning their keep on farms around here. Mac 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacAR Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Spread a bit of grass seed with the 340 and ancient Cyclone seeder this afternoon. It was a nice evening for it too, no wind and fairly warm. Mac 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it would cover a lot of ground in a day too. What's the story on the missing dual? Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acem Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I worked about 60 acres this afternoon. I'm in the process of changing it over from 18.4x38 duals to 24.5x32 singles. It's a major job and I have other things to do. Basically it happens when I have a flat or something. The 24.5x32s are old combine tires and wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 24.5x32s are old combine tires and wheels. I knew you wanted 30.5-32 but thought it looked too narrow but this answers my question about size also. Our 4366 is by the shop for brake repairs and it's a back burner project but it's getting used 30.5 when I get to it . I have 3 hubs off and the 4th is giving me issues.... I might have to get new wedges for that one or a 1" drive 7/8" 12 point socket if available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acem Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I still want the 30.5x32 but I have the 24.5x32 and my budget is tight. You better find some used wedges. New ones are pricey. I spent alot of time working on my brakes but I quit and went to work because the fields got ready. Still need one more o ring for the caliper...

acem Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I got a proto 7/8 12pt 1 in drive impact socket. It's too big to get on the bolt. I currently use a 1/2 inch drive proto 7/8 12pt deep impact socket with my dewalt high torque impact. It usually works unless they are sized up. If so, I then apply the hot wrench. They either come loose or pull the threads. I apply lots of oil, antiseze, whatever and work it back and forth until the threads are cleaned up and it moves freely. I would like to get a 7/8 12pt 3/4 deep impact socket and a higher torque battery impact to run it. Deep sockets help because I can often avoid using an extension. I have much better luck without an extension. Whatcha doing to your brakes @bitty? Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to make the disk into a park gear for a park like a 1086 paw to engage in.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to try heat first. Probably won't be doing anything until after the crops are planted 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Doctor Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I forgot to mention.. I ran the buzz saw with the trusty old F-12 for a couple of hours on saturday. It is the perfect tractor to use on the saw because the belt pulley runs backwards, which allows me to cross the belt, and it only uses 1/2 gallon an hour worth of gas! 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all original on the outside… I was very careful when I built the engine not to disturb the originality. In the right light, you can still see the Farmall decal on the sides of the fuel tank. Anyone can have a repainted tractor… not everyone has an original. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
