As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I was asked about the Farmalls and they have been kind of on the back burner in I did not have time for the tending they needed.
The Super MTA has a pure love for the right brake locking up. I don't know about replacing it, if it would lock up again, or just grease it which is what I'm thinking.
I have to change a big hose coming out of the oil pump, that pumps the hydraulics, power steering and engine oil. It leaks a bit and I knew that.
Still have that original problem of the battery not charging on a 12 volt that some genius put on there. I talked to Bugsy about it, and he said some of these rigs needs a second switch to fix it. I have that already and that ain't fixing it.
Some Hercules when tightening the butterfly oil fill, snapped the thing the rod attaches to. Was thinking about seeing if I could weld that in place with a nut as the rod should stay in the engine mount, not the butterfly. I just need the time to get it loose and give it a go.
The H, has either a hydraulic pump spring sticking or the cylinder I got is stuck. Never had time to test either of them. Sandy and Chad have a Farmall guru who said to drain the oil, put in diesel and wash it out a bit.
Other than that, the H does not like to run when idled down. I got a Chinaman kit and it was plastic, so used a replacement bushing that was in the Super M kit. It runs, but even the Tractor Whisperer could not get it set with the adjustment screws.
Anyway, the 5th gear or road gear pops out. Turns out it is probably not the gear, but there is some hook thing like in them damn Allis Chalmers that bends. You can take off the belt pulley cover off and bend things around, but the best is taking off the platform and getting at things that way. Bugsy's brother, Elmer Fudd knows all this stuff and I will probably ask Elmer about it. I never run into so much trouble on tractors than these. The old man never did a damn thing to his, and sure the 450 would stick in between gears, he never tightened the connecting block bolts on the M so I broke that lifting up the chicken coop and there was little things like the hydraulic lift wore out the wires so it shorted out when running, the pin in the steering came out and I had to fix that, tighten up that PTO clutch......all kind of cuss and fix things as a kid as I could figure that out, none of this stuff. Well the gas tank on the M got rusty and I had to squirt around the carb on it, and took the tank off and lined that with goop.......yeah that 450 sucked and that M was not much better, but they were not like these adventures in big projects.
Oh I have to replace the PTO seal on the 706. I need donations to hire some of this stuff done or summer will be finished and I won't have been fishing again and I will be frowning it is winter coming as the days get short in August.
Not that I can not do the fixing, it is just it takes time and I am short on that feature far too much of the time.
TW tells me that he fixes things like just attaching wires until he finds things work. I don't have time for stuff like that. I mean figuring is one one thing, but taking time ain't in my clock work as I do most of my figuring on the go or not sleeping and talking to God and the Holy Ghost does the figuring for me.
That is the update on the children. If I was in the dough I would have me some more of these contraptions. I love H tractors. Never had a B or A, I think I would love them too. Like 560's too. Not much on them 706's and their fancy gear shift.
H needs a back tire too, was leaking fluid, but parked it right side up and it fixed itself.
Gotta jet.
